Great Location
This property is perfect for a family getaway! We loved sitting out on the deck in the evening with the view of the ocean. Everything was nice and clean. Highly recommend staying here!!
The proximity to the beach was highly desirable. However, noise from a nearby bar did present a minor inconvenience. Overall, the accommodations were satisfactory.

This is a well maintained and tastefully renovated old home. It is in a great location for everything in Galveston. The front porch and second story deck are big assets.

We had a great stay at this property. The location can’t be beat with a five minute walk to the beach and jetty. Very clean and well-maintained. Would stay there again!

Great Stay
The house is very charming. Great for our family of 6! Everything was very clean! The only reason I would not stay here again, is that it states that you may only bring one pet, and we were denied when I asked if we could bring our 2 daschunds.

Hi Jennifer. Thank you for the kind words about the house and cleanliness. We're glad it was a great fit for your family. We understand the pet policy was disappointing, especially with two small dogs. It only allows a maximum of one dog. We would truly appreciate your understanding of the pet policy.

Great Galveston Location
The house had a good view of the water and was in town. If you are a picky pillow person you should bring your own as these were lumpy. House was clean and well furnished. We would definitely stay again!
Great location, clean and everything you would need. WiFi was horrible, and there were some minor updates that need to be completed. I would stay here again and recommend it. It was definatley worth the price and I would stay here over a hotel.
