Adorable

This place was so cute! Everything was decorated and put together beautifully. The host was incredibly kind and super responsive. She didn’t skimp on the quality of bedding which makes such a difference. Just a note for tall folks..the ceiling is very low. Maybe just about 6.5’ and a bit lower in the bathroom. But you can’t beat the location and charm of this well designed place!!

The perfect place!

This is what my friend and I kept telling each other about this cozy one bedroom. It is a fully equipped rental, one block from the seawall. (How Perfect and accommodating it was!) Not to mention the bed was so soft it was like melting into butter. Valerie is a great host and we so enjoyed our stay. I wish I could’ve stayed longer! Maybe next time.

Galveston trip with my daughter

We stayed at Valeries place and it was beautiful, well appointed and decorated beautiful. The location could not be beat close to everything. The bed was super comfortable. Wi-Fi was perfect. Valerie was very helpful and responsive. The ceilings are quite low but it was totally fine for my daughter and I, could be a little challenging for my 6’ 4” boyfriend, but the location makes it all worth it.
