Great residential location - only a few (walkable) blocks to beaches, shops and restaurants. Recommend a car for better beaches (East Beach specifically) and grocery store purchases. House is a little dated but spacious and accommodated the family well. Had some trouble with gnats and water bugs throughout our stay, which was gross and unsettling, though owner was responsive to calls and management. Couldn't find the laundry room until our last day - in a different house, in basement, needed an unidentified key to get it - so would leave this information in the house for next guests. Liked Galveston overall, lovely place to visit in the spring.
