Great location

My son and I came to visit my daughter for her birthday. The bedrooms are very large and the outdoor spaces are well maintained. The kitchen was well equipped. We cut our stay short due to the weather. Great location, although we didn’t go to the beach with all the rain that weekend. Absolutely a great value,!

Simply Amazing!

A beautiful, clean home in a fantastic location. The pictures really don't do it justice. The house is roomy, comfortable, and stocked with everything you and your family would need for your stay. The wifi worked great for the kids and the TVs had movies galore. There were DVDs and board games to use just in case. The kitchen had all of the appliances and cookware needed so if we wanted to save money or just wanted a home-cooked meal, we had that option. The home is within walking distance of the beach and within close proximity of Pleasure Pier and some really good food. ("The Spot", which was one of the host's suggestions, was delicious!) The street is quiet and peaceful. Even during all of the new years festivities, we only heard a few fireworks and that's it. The yard is fully fenced for the furry friends and the back yard is adorable. Checking in and out was simple and stress-free. The host provided so much information about the city and things to do, places to eat, etc. I really could go on and on with positive things. Thank you Edgar and family for the care that you put in to this home. We really got the experience of living in a beautiful house close to the ocean and we thank you for that. We will be back!

This was PERFECT for our family vacation! Exactly as described in the listing. Completely pet friendly with the fenced front and back yards. The yards are a bit small, but they were perfect for our 2 beagles. Would definitely stay here again!

Great place close to everything!

This was our first time visiting Galveston and we didn't know what to expect. We came here for a conference at the Grand Galvez and this house was about an 8 minute walk away. The seawall was about 5 minutes away by walk. We stayed another 5 days to experience the area and we're so glad we did. The kitchen was well equipped but we honestly never ate dinner in because the restaurants were outstanding. "Downtown" and "the strand" was about 5 minutes by car, so we spent lots of evenings there as well as a few on the Gulf side at those restaurants. Fresh fish and veggies with an array of different ethnic concepts from around the world. Culinary delight. The house was extremely comfortable and the WiFi was good enough for 2 remote works to run simultaneously. We spent many evenings sitting around the table in the secluded back yard enjoying the night breezes. Thanks for a great stay!

The property was perfect for my stay. The ability to bring my dog a bonus. We didn't use the children's room but it was very nicely furnished. The master bedroom bed was extremely comfortable. The shower is small but works as required. The spare room at the front of the house is perfect for pets but needs a little extra cleaning if someone is going to use the bed. There was lots of dog hair on the bed from previous renters. The back patio is perfectly private and offers a small grass area for pet needs. The hutch in the dining room has games. We enjoyed the cards and dice. Overall, the house has everything anyone needs for a comfortable stay.

Mini-vacation

Great property and location. There were four of us and we had plenty of space. We did some shopping in the Historic Strand area, ate awesome food, especially the Miller Cafe that was very close by. Did some sight seeing in the Historic houses area. Visited two very old cemeteries. Graves from the late 1800s. Not for everyone but we found them interesting. Rode the Colonial Paddle Boat at Moody Gardens. We visited Sea Wolf Park. Had a great time just relaxing in the evenings watching movies. Would recommend this mini vacation to everyone and this home.

Such a cute place!!!

First of all, the pictures do not do this place justice! My best friend and I brought our dog and 5 (total) kids ranging in age from 14 to 7, and we had a blast!! The house is in a great location, the neighborhood is very nice and well kept. The house does have a smaller living room, but the shotgun style makes it feel bigger. The beds were comfortable, and it was super clean. We would definitely rent this property again!
