A very cute downtown stay that was walking distance to fun attractions. We had what we needed. The arcade games were a lot of fun. We enjoyed the little patio. Would definitely stay here again!Traveled as a family with 4 kids 15, 13, 11 and 7.

Thanks for your review! We love hearing from our guests. We can’t wait to host you again soon.
Location is great. Walkable to the Strand and easy drive to the Seawall/beaches.Would be great for a quick overnight before boarding a cruise ship, but not comfortable for an extended stay.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication
Check-in was easy. Great ground floor unit. Space suited our group of five adults. Laundry was next door upstairs.
We went for a 3 day trip with the kids for oldest son’s birthday and we let him him choose the place. He was shocked at how awesome it was to choose a place with a mini arcade. We absolutely loved it and can’t wait to stay again!

Kamila - Thank you for your feedback! We're delighted to hear that your stay lived up to expectations and was just as advertised. We hope to welcome you back again in the future!
Pros: location is optimal for cruisers. Cons: Intense cleaning needed, especially the floors. Jungle out the back door needs attention; my daughter had to wade through knee high grass to get to the trash bins in the alley. Black mold on the ceiling in the bathroom.
We had an amazing stay at this beautiful place in Galveston! From the moment we arrived, everything was spotless and exactly as described. The place was spacious, comfortable, and had all the amenities we needed for a relaxing trip. We especially loved the outdoor space — perfect for morning coffee and evening smores.The location was ideal — close to the beach, restaurants, and local attractions. The hosts were incredibly responsive and thoughtful, making sure we had everything we needed for a smooth stay.We couldn’t have asked for a better home base during our time in Galveston. Highly recommend and would definitely stay here again!
