The house was fine. We could have used more towels and trash bags. Its in a great location close to the beach. The AC has a hard time keeping up during the day but it was extreamly hot outside. Enough sleeping space forball of us.

Cute place

Easy to work with, great response and layout worked perfect. Loved the fire pit and porch. A couple of the beds could be updated as well as a little more thorough clean in the bathrooms. Overall super cute place with a nice location.

Convenient, good location, but the landscaping was not well maintained. I had a party at the house Saturday night, and I was embarrassed by the appearance of the grounds. The landscaper should be fired. For 700/night, that property should have looked far better.

Making memories

We rented the house for a week. I had my 76 year old parents, my adult children, my sister and her daughter as well as my 4 year old grandson stay with us. I love the space and the rooms worked out really well. The location was great. We all enjoyed ourselves and would love to come back some day. This was a perfect spot for us.

Galveston

Judy was a great owner. We ran out of a couple of things and she explained the process (that we didn’t know, because of being rookies) but still brought those items to us. Would recommend all her properties.

Great Beach House

The house is close to the beach, it had plenty of room for our family of 8. We had 1 issue with the lights not working but it was because they were operated by a remote in which the owner replied back to us in a timely manner when asking about it. We all had a great time. Would use again if visiting Galveston anytime soon.

Roomy beach house was great for our 3 generation Galveston vacation. So close to the beach that smaller groups could come and go. This is a century old Craftsman house that was updated a few years ago with large public rooms upstairs and downstairs. The fenced backyard was great for 5 little boys. Communication with the owner was good. We would stay here again!

Within walking distance to many things in the area

Plenty of room. We enjoyed mornings and evening on the front porch. Kitchen was pretty stocked. I advise if it hot outside keep door to the sunroom closed. House will stay much cooler. Walking distance to beach and many restaurants. Older house could use a few updates but was ok cleaning wise. Could use a little detailed cleaning but overall worked good for us.

We had a great time.

It's a very nice spacious house, close to the beach. Since I'm over 65 with bad knees the stairs were a little too much for me. However my family loved it.

We were 12 senior adults who stayed here before our cruise. The house is large with lots of room for everyone inside and out . The house was a short easy walk to the beach and restaurants. Would definitely stay again

Location was good, everything was ok, but it needs more towels. We normally eat meals when we do vrbo, we didn’t this time but just looking around I think we would have be upset with the amount of kitchen utensils.

About the host

Hosted by Judy Ellis

Host profile image
My husband and I have always loved Galveston and have owned property there since 1984. We have been bringing our family here for years and have watched it grow. We never get bored here there is always something going on. It is an amazing island from the historic district to the new Pleasure Pier. Our grandkids also love the island especially Schlitterbahn water park and Moody Gardens.

Why they chose this property

Bought this house so I can sit on my porch and see and hear the ocean. Loved the location near the parade route and lots of restaurants! I also love living behind the seawall.
