Galveston vacation

The state was nice. The property manager was helpful. Cute little Home to stay in for a vacation. The only reason why it has three stars is because the washing machine did not work. Other than that, the stay was very enjoyable. We will be staying again in the future. Thanks, God bless.

A house with a lot of Character

We really enjoyed our stay.The house really has so much character.I must have missed the sofa couch in the description of the property online , so we were pleasantly surprised to see on the house notes there was one available.We like to cook at least breakfast on our stays.The pots and pans were pretty basic, if you plan on cooking maybe bring something of your own to cook with. Overall the cleaning was pretty good. The ceiling fan and hvac vent was caked in dust.The only safety concerns I would bring up was we didn’t have a key to the rear door which had a deadbolt and most of the windows were sealed shut do to age and being painted shut.Thank goodness nothing happened where we needed to escape quickly.

Good Times were had by all

Very comfortable for three people, in a convenient location if you rent a car. Not perfect if you have mobility issues, but doable. Lockbox proved difficult to open, but owners/managers were very responsive. We would stay again.

Sweet stay in Galveston

Pictures don’t do this home justice. It is a very tastefully done space with everything you need. The queen bed was super comfortable, the neighborhood was quiet (except for the one Mardi Gras parade that went by but to be expected). As we were visiting for a wedding, we didn’t do much cooking beyond simple breakfast but the kitchen has what you need to make meals. There also is comfortable abundant seating in the living room and everything is just so well done. Linens and towels were lovely and I highly recommend this space if you need to travel to Galveston.

Nice cottage

Nice furnishings and plenty of towels & decent quality that seems to be missing in other cottages. Typical shared driveway for Galveston. Nice old wood floors with one exception that you had to be careful in a few places where the wood was pretty much rotted away underneath but on the surface it looked normal but the floor gave way. We have noticed this in other old homes we rented elsewhere on the island. It seems to be common just beware.

PERFECT!!!!

Do yourself a favor and stay here! I love this little house so much I would live here! It is SO cozy, SUPER clean, and the decor is just the icing on the cake. The kitchen had everything we needed to make multiple meals and the beds were super comfortable... oh and the air conditioner worked great! That is a huge deal in the heat and humidity. :) Me, my sister and aunt all agreed we will be coming back next summer, but this time extending our stay! We really didn't want to leave. THANK YOU to our hosts for having a home that IS exactly as described!

Clean and welcoming

The house was very clean and comfortable for our family of 5. The pictures of the home are accurate. We brought an air mattress for our youngest. It is close enough to walk to the beach, but it would be too far if you have little ones. The shower is ok (claw foot tubs are terrible for showers), the bathroom sink is tiny for getting ready, and a hose outside to wash sand off would be nice. We would definitely stay here again.
