Fantastic Loft

Great property and even better location. Natalie was super sweet and we enjoyed meeting her. The even better part was the Star Drug store underneath, breakfast was great and be sure to grab a chocolate peanut better shake! One of the best experiences we’ve had in Galveston.

Our stay was beyond perfect. We were in town for a wedding and this space was exactly what my husband and I needed. The space was clean, cozy and comfortable, and we would come back in a heartbeat. We have two kids so if we bring them down for a stay, we would possibly have to look into the Loft B, but Loft A was perfect for us two. The proximity to walk to all local attractions and restaurants was a nice perk, but even having an option for dining downstairs made such a great convenience!

Amazing Hidden Gem

This is our third stay here around the holiday season and every stay gets better! Natili is an amazing host and this loft is so much better than staying at a hotel establishment! Love the decor, location and eating at the Star Drug Store.

Stellar place to stay! You’re close to great eateries and the beach.

Beautiful loft above a drug store that serves breakfast & lunch. If you’re a history buff- you’ll learn about the huge Hurricane that nearly wiped out alot of the island. Beautiful architecture is everywhere. There’s even a horse and carriage!
The seawall was constructed to withstand storms and keep the gulf waters in the gulf.
Stewart Title Co. Plaque gives amazing history of the building.
Words to live by are randomly painted on the street.
Bookstore across the street from the loft.

This loft is a wonderful place to stay. Short walk to anywhere in the Strand. Great local places to eat and a quick walk to the trolly for a trip to the seawall. Highly recommend!

Best Loft Around!

We had another great stay in Galveston. Natali is an excellent property manager. We didn't need anything but she's always quick to respond to questions. The loft has the best location. You can walk to so many restaurants, galleries and bars. Can't wait to return again.

Perfect!

We came to drop off our daughter at college and stayed the weekend. It was a perfect location. We walked everywhere and jumped on the trolley to go anywhere else, it was so convenient to have a place to relax in between outings. We will be back now that we’ve have found this gem!
