We came to stay here a second time for an anniversary trip with some close friends and our fur babies. Such a perfect location with great beach access only a few steps away. The host is so welcoming and friendly and chill, I felt very safe and comfortable here both times I have stayed. Anytime I come to Galveston in the future for any reason, this is the house I will rent!

None of the inside doors actually locked and shut without some elbow grease. One of the bathroom doors did not shut at all, so we had to move a table in front of the door to hold it closed. Other than this, it is a cute little house and we enjoyed our stay

We had a great stay in Galveston! The house was clean upon arrival and was super comfortable for our party of 7. The house had everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable. The beds were cozy, we had plenty of hot water, and the a/c worked great! Proximity to the beach was excellent as well!

The only positive thing about this house is the location. Unfortunately the rest was not so good! The house is rundown… it shakes, it lopsided, water damage is seen throughout the house. With the huge front door gap I’m not sure why you need the door at all. Bunch of ants came through that door and decided to share the weekend with us! Had to find the spray and take care of them! Honestly I was a bit embraced in front of my family that I booked the house like that but the house looked very good on the pictures. On the positive side the size of the house is very nice, spacious bathrooms and bedrooms. Location is perfect as well! It just needs sooooo much work before anyone can stay there without any concerns.
