We had 6 adults staying 1 night prior to going on a cruise. Due to the prices we had seen for hotels in Galveston, we considered the house to be reasonably priced. We were all impressed with the spacious rooms, location, and cleanliness of the house. We took advantage of the game room, the sitting/smoking area outside, and watched football on some of the 5 TVs that are provided. I can't say anything bad about this places. It's beautiful!

My family absolutely loved this home and we very much enjoyed our stay. It was comfortable from the moment we walked through the door. It is clear that there was much thought put into the decor and atmosphere of the home for the guests. Communication with the host was excellent - Mario had everything covered from the start. Such a pleasant experience for my first time using Vrbo!

Hands down, best vacation rental ever. Not only did our host let us check in earlier than the agreed time, but the house was immaculate!! My kids had an amazing time. They got to wake up to the beach every morning. A special thank you to our host for making this experience as perfect as possible. We’ll be back next year!!

EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS PROPERTY AND OUR EXPERIENCE WAS GREAT. Communication was great, never any issues. We had what we needed. Property is perfectly located close to the beach and other attractions. We were a party that consisted of 2 families. Each set of parents had their own room and the kids shared the 3rd bedroom. We were never crowded. The game room was perfect. Mario was great.

House was absolutely perfect for our pre-cruise stay. There were 6 in our family. Traveling with 2 elderly travelers, this home made it easy being all on a single level. Check-in was smooth and host was always available in a timely manner to answer any questions. Home was extremely clean with wonderful options. The kids enjoyed the game room. Very close to the beach and Galveston Pleasure Pier. We would definitely rent again on our next visit to Galveston.

Great location!

Takes 2 mins to walk to the beach. I've had a few bad previous experiences with Vrbo houses. Pictures making the property look nicer than it actually is. This house was 10/10. Super clean, really nice comfortable and relaxing set up. Would definitely book this house again. The house was way nicer than expected. Thank you !!!

Great for families!

We took our grandkids for a Beach vacation. The house was super clean and there was plenty of room for 5 of us. Please note that the master bedroom has the double Queen beds. The kids loved the game room and the large beds. The outdoor shower, beach umbrella and beach chairs were a plus! Our host was very responsive. Only a few minor maintenance issues we passed along such as the mattresses sagging and needing to be rotated, the grassy areas were full of cockleburs and couple of burnt out lights. Overall a good experience!
