Great stay before our cruise

Monica was absolutely wonderful and kept in touch with me the whole stay. We stayed 2 days prior to our cruise. It's only a 30 min drive to cruise terminal and worked great! It was close to a beach area and liquor store and eatery. Beds were comfortable and house was of perfect size for our party of 5. Very clean and cute little outside area. Only suggestion is to have a smaller table outside to be able to play cards.other than that it was perfect and will definitely be back and spread the word on property.

Great location with responsive host

The house itself is great for a larger family and located just about 25 minutes from Space Center. We stayed after a new house cleaner and unfortunately it was less than ideal for cleanliness (floors covered in debris, dirty linens, bathroom had hair on tub, etc). I immediately reached out to the host and Monica was quick to respond and sought to make our stay a positive one. Overall, the house had plenty of seating and places for everyone to sleep. Two full baths was great. Neighborhood was quiet. The location was good if going to Space Center area or Galveston.

One of the best

We were very comfortable and surprised at how roomy the house was… pictures did not do it justice. Very well supplied and bed was super comfortable. Enjoyed exploring surrounding areas and proximity to everything.

Nice place

It was a very cozy home, right next to the ocean. Only downside was the hot water didn't last very long so the Jacuzzi wasn't really an option. Other then that it was well worth it

Absolutely BEAUTIFUL house!!!

This house was AMAZING!!! We have booked places before that the pictures of the place made it seem bigger then it was... NOT this house!!! This house the pictures don't do it justice. The house was plenty big enough for for me, my husband, and our three teenagers. There were games for us to have family game nights, a table we all fit

Lovely home close to Galveston
