Beautiful historic home. Close to all the fun stuff: downtown, ports, seawall, UTMB. The rail trolley runs right in front of the house. Trolley stop is a short walk down the street. Very comfortable beds, and a large kitchen. Would definitely stay here again.

Built in 1899, so expect aged and antique venue. The private pool was a blessing! Great experience near the beach, The Strand, the sea wall, and a ferry ride to Bolivar peninsula. We had a lovely family (3 generation) vacation.

Beautiful historic home!

We chose this property because of it proximity to the historic downtown area. Everything was comfortable and the house had everything we needed. The kids loved the pool and our older kids appreciated that their rooms all had tvs. Plenty of space to eat, entertain, and relax.

Neat home

We stayed for a few nights after a cruise. Was nice to be able to have a little yard, pool, and the ability to cook a few meals for ourselves. The home is in a neat area, the main road out front gets a little busy with night time noise. Easy to access and the owner was very responsive to any questions we had.

Amazing location with a great pool!

We loved our stay, the house is incredible and the location was fantastic. It was conveniently located so we could walk most places including the seawall and CVS for anything we forgot to bring or needed. We also went in the pool everyday and thoroughly the yard and many places to sit and eat al fresco. The host was also so amazing to deal with, answered quickly and provided excellent information. We loved the front porch swing and watching the trolley go by. Would stay here again in a heart beat!

When we arrived, we were unable to get the doors unlocked with the code. After getting into the house, I noticed that the living room furniture was filthy with stains. In addition, the shower handle in the master bath is close to falling off. Other than those things, the house was very nice. The beds were super comfortable and the location of the property was great.

Spring Break 2023 from Minnesota

The home was nice and comfortable. It met our needs for cooking and grilling. Neighborhood was quiet. Owner was prompt in responding to questions and needs. Pool was smaller than it looks in pictures. We had rain a few days. Location was central to shopping and the Pleasure Pier, which the boys totally enjoyed. If we decided to return to Galveston, we would definitely consider renting this home if available. Thank you Eric

Although the weather didn't cooperate most of the time, we did get to use the pool one afternoon and it was very enjoyable, with areas to sit and lounge in the pool. The kitchen is fully stocked with glassware, dishes and cooking utensils. A roll of paper towels as well as dish soap and washing pods are provided. A limited supply of coffee was available. Bring storage bags, foil, etc., if you need them. There are several tables in the backyard to sit and enjoy the backyard, and a nice swing on the front porch to enjoy. The beds were very comfortable and the bedrooms roomy. The bathrooms had plenty of towels and washcloths, even for a large group. Hand soap, shampoo and conditioner were provided.The location is nice on a busy boulevard, but we never had trouble parking in front of the home, and it was fun watching folks walking their pups in the mornings and evenings. The house was very clean, and the a/c kept us comfortable. There were numerous ceiling fans through the house which kept the ventilation nice.
