Nice place to stay. Very limited parking. Glad we decided to carpool. Quiet neighborhood for our one night stay.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication
The house is very comfortable, clean and spacious enough for 8+ people. Owners of the property are very accommodating and friendly in communication.
Location's drawback: no public transportation (or anything else: stores, restaurants, etc.) in the radius of < 15 minutes of walk and Galveston's summer weather makes the walking hardly desirable activity.
Property was easy to find. It was very clean and laid out well. We enjoyed the coffee! We were disappointed that we couldn’t find the TV remote. But all in all, it’s a great place. Very close to the port terminal.
The property was just as explained in the description. There were stickers in the living room carpet and my granddaughter got one stuck in her foot. We looked the carpet over and found a few more. We hadn’t been anywhere to bring them in - so must have been there already.When we arrived I had trouble unlocking the door (operator error). I messaged Dante. By time he responded we were already inside. We were only there one night for a pre-cruise stay but overall the property met our needs.
The house was very close to the terminals, restaurants and the beach! It was clean and the pictures looks just like it does in person. They had items available that I didn't realize I would need (coffee & creamer) which was great! Dante recommended several restaurants and we chose one. It was just several blocks away and right on the beach. The food was great and fast.
What a wonderful stay. From traveling to arrive and during our stay, Dante was easy to communicate and on top of questions. We were able to drop our luggage off a little early and went out to explore. On our return the property was clean and cool. Close to the Strand and cruise port but easy enough to drive to the beach and Walmart as well. We would definitely be willing to stay again if we are back in Galveston. Thank you Dante for a great pre-cruise rental.
Owner is very responsive and friendly. The open floor plan made it easy to sit down and relax a bit before our cruise. The location was very convenient for hitting a few stores and an ATM nearby before we departed. We'd stay here again!
Be sure to check the area before booking, family with two grandkids age 5 and I felt very uncomfortable being in the area, never got out of the truck, could not even turn into the very small drive and was on a single lane side street with only one way in and out.
My husband and I stayed 1 night for our cruise. Conveniently close to cruise terminal. Cute house and the bed was comfy. Dante was nice and answered all our questions. Great stay.
My friends and I stayed here prior to boarding cruise ship in Galveston.The place was a short drive to the port.Beach was a quick ride also.Overall, place was roomy, comfortable.Great option if need an overnight stay.
The pictures and the description were accurate. The beds were very comfortable. Everything was very clean and appeared to be pretty new on inside. Will definitely be staying there again for my next 2 cruises. Love that it is maybe 2 miles from the port.
