Walk to the beach in 5 blocks, walk to restaurants, the guys can hop a fishing boat and the girls shop all day.

The house is exactly the vibe we were looking for when it comes to staying in historic Galveston. It has so much personality while still being comfortable. The pool was the perfect depth. We didn't do much walking from the house to restaurants and shops due to weather but it's location was a short drive to everything we needed.

To all even remotely thinking of this rental, it is worth every thought! Exactly as described and beyond. Easy access. Walking distance to tons of local places. Home was beyond spacious for 5 couples not to even see each other unless we wanted . Seriously, our intentions in Galveston was to walk the strand all day and evening the Saturday however we all enjoyed that backyard so much on the Friday we all decided to stay in all weekend. Not one complaint!!! 10/10

The backyard is as awesome as it looks in photos. We relaxed in and round the pool and hot tub. When the battery died in the front door she replies promptly. Some of our group walked to the beach and another walked to the strand. All the bedrooms were large. AC worked great.

I knew the stay was going to be good just by the communications from the host 2 days prior. She even started warming up the hot tub 2 hours prior to arriving. The property itself was great! Everything worked great, all needs were thought of and addressed. 100% recommended to friends already and im sure we will stay again. Cant say enough good things.

Quite interesting house to say the least. Hot tub was nice. Toilet has stains all over the seat/inside lid that looks like urine. We finally decided that it must’ve been some hot coffee or something like that, but it looks gross. That was the worst thing in my opinion.

Perfect from beginning to end. Loved every moment and such a close walk to beach. House was perfect for 12. And while we did not use the pool we did sit by it and enjoyed the sound of the waterfall, Ramona could not been a better host for us and was always quick to respond if we had questions.
