House was very nice and clean....AC was excellent. My only problem was in the bottom bathroom. Shower floor was very soft and seems to have been cracked and repaired. Bathroom floor also had a very soft spot so you had to walk around it. Would love to stay again if problems in bathroom fixed. Thank you!

The home is conveniently located near the Port of Galveston, and it is a clean and pleasant residence. Things you may wish to know: I prefer my A/C a little colder; the second floor is quite steep; if you have any disabilities, please plan to stay in the first-floor bedroom. The flooring in the downstairs bedroom and bathroom shower is uneven and needs leveling. There was only one TV in the home, and it was located in the living room. If you are a TV watcher, like me, please note that the bedrooms do not have TVs. However, it was a great space to stay overnight for the price and location.

Budget friendly

It was great, except a handful of roaches, stray dogs and slightly sketch neighborhood. The sofa wasn't the most comfortable, the downstairs king bed was really stiff, while one of the queen beds was too soft (springless?)and held up by 2x4's. The washer also smelled a bit mildewy, but that's to be expected from front loading. The dryer was also loud and felt unstable. The place was pretty clean, tons of dishes/silverware/plastic ware.The high chair and playpen were also clean and good condition. I liked that they had plenty of towels for each bed. The cooking pans were awesome too, but there was a crack on the double burner, so we couldn't use the smaller inner burner, but it didn't seem to affect the pan. It wasn't perfect, but the complaints are nothing too serious. I do want to mention the steep stairs. Our kids were 3 and 5, so they were ok, but we had to help the 3 year old go down each time and had to keep an eye on them for sure. It was worth the price for us and within our budget, so overall, I'm glad we stayed here (for the price).

Disliked: Cleanliness
Pros: Cute little house close to Strand and Seawall. Small, but plenty of room to sleep a lot of people. Lots of parking nearby as well. Reasonable price for what you get. Cons: Serious cockroach problem. Management had someone out the next day, but it only seemed to make things worse. Management responded to messages quickly, but seemed very blasé about the situation and showed no interest in attempting to make it right. We had to ask them for more dish soap just so that we could clean every utensil, plate, and pan before we could use it under the assumption that roaches had been on it. We would have left after it got worse, but we were working 15 days on the island and just didn’t have the time to get that worked out. Genuinely, the very least that I expect out of a rental is for it to be clean and bug free so that we can sleep and they’re probably going to get 5 stars. This is a fixable problem and had they shown any interest in some sort of resolution I would not be here giving them a poor review. It really is a cute place and I hope they get it worked out for the future.
Fighting roaches to make coffee.

Host was welcoming. The home has a serious bug issue (roaches). The home was clean and the home was clean. The roaches were not just in the kitchen though. They were in the bathroom and the family room as well. I was concerned and did not open any of my luggage because I did not want to carry the critters with me.

We arrived to the property and it looked like someone had just checked out. Beds unmade and clearly just slept in. Dirty towels piled in the bathroom. Pillows and blankets thrown about. The house itself wasn’t in the best neighborhood and didn’t look like it was kept up. Mailbox was overflowing with mail. We waited 30 minutes and still no cleaning crew or any attempts made to clean the property for us. We got a refund and found somewhere else to stay.
