Overnight stay

We stayed one night here before boarding a cruise ship the next morning. The house was great. 4 private bedrooms and one large bunk room. There are only 2 full bathrooms but for an overnight stay was no problem. The outside pool area was very nice! Was a little chilly in February but we did take a dip. Very conveniently located to restaurants, Walmart and the port.

Hidden Gem

I cannot say enough good things about this property, The house was very clean and had plenty of towels and very comfortable bedding and beds. We almost skipped this property due to old reviews but I know more people leave negative reviews than positive so we decided to give it a chance and we were not disappointed!!! There was no pest issue in or out of the home and we enjoyed watching the fireflies in the evenings in the field behind the house. It was central to everything in Galveston yet you feel tucked away from the crowd with a serene setting and private pool. We had 9 guests age ranges from 2-38 and there was plenty of space and fun activities for everyone to enjoy. My Teens thoroughly enjoyed the game room and pool as did the young ones. Being a homeschool family we took advantage of Galvestons vast history and turned a full day into a field trip as we scouted out several historical markers and took in the beauty of Galveston Island. We definitely will be back to stay at this beautiful hidden gem!

Cute house and nice location but dirty

The house was very cute, provided the space we needed and was in a very good location. But, the floors were so dirty. Our feet and socks were black within the first 10 minutes of being in the house. We did contact the owner and asked for a mop and bucket to be dropped off but heard nothing back. Trim was falling off in several spots, the matteresses and living room couch were stained, the deck around the pool was dirty and had glass and rocks all over that we cleaned up. We made the best of it but the cleaniness was a huge issue for us.

House was great!

House was in great location and had a great set up for a large number of people. Pool was fun for the kids. Our only complaint was the house being in disrepair with water leaking in the hallway after raining and soft spots on the bathroom floor. Owner was very nice and helpful!

Nice and accessible

Our overall stay was great, the kids had an awesome time swimming in the pool and having a sleepober everynight in the game room. The only thing I would have changed was to have a better selection of cooking gear for the stove top and oven. Everything else was great, we would definitely stay there again.

Family vacation

This house was perfect for us. 12 people stayed for 4 nights. We really enjoyed the pool and the close proximity to the beach. You have to drive there from the house, but there's a place to park on the beach there. Very convenient. Would like to stay again. Thanks!

Wonderful property A+++

The pictures say it all. Gorgeous property perfectly located in the middle of the island. Property Manager was easy to contact and quick to reply. The pool was divine. My only tip would be to bring a large pot and skillet if you're cooking for a big group. Also 8 mile beach is a gem and only a couple of minutes away by car. We had a great time and will be back.

Great Stay and will be back!

House was very clean and extremely spacious for our group of 12 adults and pets. The pool was the main attraction given the 105 degree heat and the huge fenced yard provided peace of mind for our dogs to run around freely. Bring plenty of mosquito spray and be sure to wear shoes In the grass areas to avoid the stickers which are both common issues on the coast. We will be back!

Weekend getaway

Overall it was okay. The pool was green when we got there but did clear up the next day. One of the beds had sand in it. There were stickers all in the rugs. The pictures look bigger and better than it actually is. But all in all it was okay. The beds were comfortable and the location was good.

Great location and excellent property for family getaway

The property is located centrally and yet it feels very private. The pool is the best feature of the house and our kids absolutely loved it. So did the adults. With this location we were able to enjoy Galveston a bit more which was fun. The house itself is fully remodeled and well equipped with all the amenities. The bathrooms and kitchen are clean. No complaints at all. The host we’re very responsive and provided answers promptly.
