1st Year Anniversary Occasion

This was our 1st year anniversary and we could not pick a better place. The Star Drug Store directly underneath was a great treat for breakfast and a coke float. The room has an ambiance that is very personable and inviting to just “stay” in the room. Will definitely re-book! I attempted to upload some photos but the app is not allowing me.

Great Galveston Loft

Star Drugstore, which is really a great 50's style diner, is located on 23rd and Post Office. It is within 2-4 blocks of all the bars, restaurants and shops on the Strand, so it is a great location. There are two historic lofts above Star, and each one is beautiful, clean and functional. Natali is friendly, responsive and awesome! I highly recommend the lofts if you are planning a stay in Galveston!

We had another great stay in Galveston. Natali is an excellent property manager. We didn't need anything but she's always quick to respond to questions. The loft has the best location. You can walk to so many restaurants, galleries and bars. Can't wait to return again.

We came to drop off our daughter at college and stayed the weekend. It was a perfect location. We walked everywhere and jumped on the trolley to go anywhere else, it was so convenient to have a place to relax in between outings. We will be back now that we’ve have found this gem!

"Lofty" rental

Location, location. Short walk to Strand and countless points of interest and unlimited dining options. Beautifully updated high ceiling, fully furnished open space above Historic Star Drug. Although we could have prepared meals in the full kitchen, we elected to have breakfast downstairs both mornings; food and staff were great! Two notes of caution; it is a walkup (24 steps) and premium dining establishments require trousers....lol.

Great Time in Galveston

We truly enjoyed our stay in Galveston Memorial Weekend. It all started with staying at the Loft and meeting Natili!!! The loft was exactly as described online and better. Very easy to get to and Natili made the experience even better. I 100% recommend staying here for a great weekend trip. Plus the Star Drug Store below is awesome. Food is great and love everyone working there. I would give this place 10 Stars!!! Thank you Natili for letting us stay and have such a great time.

Everything was wonderful. We parked and didn't have to use vehicle during our stay. We were able to walk to anything around the Strand. The loft is in a great location,above Star Drug. We ate there 2 times during the stay. Natili has a great place,very clean and comfortable. And shes pretty darn awesome herself. We will be staying again.

Great stay on honeymoon before a cruise..

Star Drug has long been a favorite place to grab a good breakfast before getting on a ship to cruise. Found out that there were two lofts to rent upstairs and had to try it out. Location, location, location. Everything that doesn’t include sand is within a short walk from the loft. Bars, dining and shopping are all just a short troll away.

Beautiful but noisy

This place is very nice. It is beautiful and clean and charming. It has a great location to great botique shopping, restaurants and bars. Only drawback is that the bed is located right by the windows and there is a LOT of activity at night in this area. You can hear everything all night. If you are a light sleeper, you may be kept awake.

Wonderful, Hidden Jem!

Typically, we stay annually at The Tremont House but since the recent renovations, we were not impressed and the room rates went up tremendously! We have always eaten at The Star Drug Store and were intrigued by a beautiful loft located above the restaurant! Needless to say, we were very impressed with this beautiful loft and accommodations! Street parking was super convenient right outside our door, walking distance to many restaurants, shopping and attractions on The Strand! The property was beautifully decorated, provided many amenities and the host, Natili was amazing! She is very attentive to detail and made sure our "first time" stay was not only memorable but
