Great Galveston Stay in Beautiful Home

We loved our stay in Brianna’s home. It was clean, quiet, well-stocked, and beautifully decorated. Instructions were clear and the place had everything we needed. Close to the beach, Strand, Post Office galleries, and restaurants. We will definitely stay here again!

Ball Street

We had a wonderful stay. The AC at night got warm but the ceiling fans made up for it. It’s a great location in town close to restaurants, shopping and Beach. I’ll stay here again in the future.

Pre-cruise stay

The location of the property was great! The only thing I would recommend is cleaning the washing machine, it had mold/mildew when we attempted to use it due to lost luggage by the airline.

Wanted to explore Galveston when we got off the ship, and absolutely loved this home. It was everything we wanted it to be. Bianca was great, allowed us in the home a little early. Great location, well maintained home and property. Would like to stay here again next trip.

Volleyball Tournament

Comfortable place to stay. We were there for a tournament . The only negative is the front door was hard to lock, so we would lock it from the inside and go out the back.

Pre cruise booking

The house is very cute and exceptionally clean. Beds were all very comfortable and it was in walking distance to the beach. We stayed during Hurricane Beryl and Bianca was very helpful when we had to adjust plans due to the weather. I would definitely recommend this property. We had 6 people staying and there was plenty of room for everyone. The kitchen and laundry areas were perfect and the bathrooms are very nice. Thank you!

Perfect!

This was the perfect location for our stay! This was our first experience with a vacation rental, and we may be spoiled! This was a beautiful old home, that was very comfortable, on a quiet street, located very close to the beach! The host’s requests for clean up were very reasonable and simple to complete! We did not get to enjoy the backyard, because it was too hot for us, but it was a perfect space had we wanted to eat outside or play games. The kitchen was well equipped for our cooking needs, and it was so nice to have a laundry room available!

Older home with great amenities

Older home that looks recently renovated. It is located in an older part of Galveston Island. Close enough to the beach to walk if you don't plan to swim or dig in the sand. Bring a wagon or drive to the beach otherwise. You'll have to drive to some of the local eateries and attractions. The details with the amenities really made the place feel like home.

Quaint and Cozy

You can tell this is an older and recently renovated home. The amenities really made the stay comfortable. My family really loved staying here. We walked to the beach more often then not. It is very close to local food and attractions.
