This house is fantastic! My family of six adults had plenty of room to spread out. It had a great kitchen with everything we needed to make several meals. It had a spacious dining room and large comfortable living room. There were folding chairs which we took to the beach on a cart that was provided. We used the gas grill and enjoyed the short walk to the beach. However, the best part of the experience was the host. She contacted us early and often and made sure that we everything we needed before we even knew to ask. The value of the property was outstanding, and the host made it priceless. Great location, great property, great host - win, win, win.

That you for your review - we so much appreciate it, and very much enjoyed having you stay with us. Your visit was 5star in all aspects. 10/10. I am so sorry my review mistakenly related cleanliness at 1!! It was a typo that I didn’t see until it was disappearing, and could not change it later. I hope this helps to clarify- We would welcome you if you decide to stay with us again .

We had a great stay at this amazing property! It’s even better than the pictures. It has everything you need to enjoy your time in Galveston but you might want to just relax at the house. It was perfect for our family group of 8. The kitchen is amazing, all the amenities are well thought out and communication with Judy was seamless. Judy was also flexible and worked with me when I wasn’t as organized as I should have been. Would love to go back sometime and highly recommend.

Great, comfortable stay

We enjoyed our stay at this beautiful, spacious and cozy home. Everything was clean, it had all the necessities and more. AC worked great in this heat. Short walk to the beach and some good restaurants. Kroger supermarket close by. Nice neighbor Lupe who was so nice and patient taking a picture of the family who visited us. We certainly can refer this home for a wonderful stay.

Great family environment and great host

All the assessor cannot compare to the price of the rental. It was very comfortable and relaxing. Everything was within reach grocery store, beach , downtown , restaurants great little circle. Very clean and refreshing, was able to wash and dry my kids clothes before I put them to bed. The agenda book for the house is full of adventures that I didn't get to get to complete because I didn't book enough days. I will be back with my family.

Like Being Home

This charming 1940's brick house in Galveston, was like coming home. Comfortable. Cozy. It is well-equipped with anything and everything you could possibly want or need. There were cozy throws for the winter, and plenty of blankets and pillows galore to choose from to get the perfect one for a good night's sleep. The kitchen is great if you decide you want to cook rather than walk to the myriad restaurants close by. Even better, this home is a short walk to the seawall - that was a bigger bonus than I first realized. I loved this little house. The location. The funky in-transition neighborhood (as is all Galveston which gives it its charm) and the ability to walk just about anywhere you want--other than downtown. And the owner was a dream to work with. We stayed here for two months during the winter and it was a wonderful, comfortable warm place to stay. We would stay again in a heartbeat.

Family vacation/ softball tournament

Judy was amazing from the time we booked.. she sent info on where to find stores and other things that interested us.. she made sure we got checked in safely and when the door lock gave us trouble, she was on the phone with us giving us help.. she made sure we could be at peace knowing our things were safely locked in the house when we were away and she was available every minute if we needed anything...the house was amazing and we felt at home the moment we arrived!! She has been an all around amazing host and we will be back with her again soon!! Thank you Judy for the wonderful home and the amazing memories made!!!!

About the host

Hosted by Judy Locke

Host profile image
Im a Nurse living in Massachusetts and while visiting my son and his family last year, fell in love with the 1940s brick homes on Galveston Island. We eventually decided to by one last fall.

Why they chose this property

The home is spacious and comfortable and close to everything in Galveston that people come to enjoy. The islanders are friendly, helpful, and generous to visitors.
There's something to do for everyone from peaceful and relaxing to fun and adventurous.

What makes this property unique

I like the brick 40s style of the home and the cool breezes on the arched front porch. There's cool shelter on the front porch and afternoon sun on the back porch/deck
