Mini Honeymoon was amazing!

Me and my husband and our fur baby stayed here for a mini honeymoon. Galveston is where we had our first date so it’s a very special place for us. This place was in the greatest location, close to all the great parts of Galveston, The Strand and The Seawall. We loved riding the bikes and using the hot tub after exploring, it was very relaxing. Very cute and quaint place, would highly recommend it for a small group or family get away. We loved riding the two person bike!

Great little getaway

We enjoyed our stay. It’s was the perfect location for us. It was a good neighborhood and quiet at night. Great shopping and restaurants were just minutes away. The house was very clean and bed was comfortable. They provided all the essentials we needed to make it feel like home away from home. We will definitely be using them again for our next trip to Galveston.

Perfect location!!

We stayed in Galveston on 10-25 and 10-26-2024. The location was perfect for getting around the island with restaurants and the gulf close by. The owners do a great job of communicating through the entire process. We would definitely stay at the Flamingo again.

Great getaway!

We had an amazing time during our stay for my husband's birthday! We loved the hot tub and the bikes as well. The only thing I would say is that you're close to the neighbors, and unfortunately for us, our neighbors were outside playing music throughout the day. Which, was only slightly annoying when we were outside in the hot tub. The house stays pretty quiet inside. The beds are extremely comfortable and the house stayed relatively cool. We highly recommend this house for your next getaway!!
