The home is close enough to the beach and local sites to walk to, easy location for deliveries. The home was the perfect size for our group, and exceptionally clean. The owners were immediately accessible by text, everything was perfect for a weekend getaway with no worries! Would definitely stay here again!

Thank you for your stay and your 5 star review, Tracie! It was great hosting you. Happy to hear you enjoyed the location and our services. Hope to have you again soon!
We were originally surprised by the unusual layout-like a bathroom with three doors-but it turned out to be a very functional set-up. The dine in kitchen was small and exceedingly well laid out. We did breakfast and lunch in everyday with our family of 5 and it was easy to cook and enjoyable to dine in. The laundry room is really nice. And it's super close to the beach, Pleasure Pier, and a ton of restaurants.

Wonderful stay
We recently stayed at a rental house on R St. From beginning to end the staff was helpful and wonderful. The house was perfect for us. We will rent here again.

Very clean with amenities as advertised. Issues with check-in code were resolved quickly. Bikes and wagon to haul items to the beach were a nice touch!

I'm glad Sabadeco was clean and as advertised and that you got to make use of the bikes and wagons. I'm grateful we were able to get you in the home and taken care of quite quickly. Come back anytime, Lori! -iTrip Galveston
This is a great location within walking distance to the beach and they even had a wagon to help with getting all of your towels, boogie boards, and coolers there. Kitchen was perfect size for our family and although the house is smaller, it had plenty of space for us all to spread out. We will definitely be back!

We stayed here with our toddler while I was pregnant with our second. I am in love with this location! Convenience is key with little ones. There is also an awesome playground right across the street! Walking distance to food, beach and pleasure pier. The house is lovely, comfortable and perfect for our little family.

Amazing place very comfy! Well def. Return when i visit galveston again
Comfortable stay with some drawbacksOur off-season stay had a mix of positives and challenges. On the good side, the beds were very comfortable and the home was stocked with plenty of linens, which made settling in easy. The location is convenient to Seawall restaurants and beaches, and the off-season affordability was a definite plus.There were, however, some issues with the property’s condition that future guests should be aware of. Several areas of wall plaster were crumbling, and some floorboards were splitting enough to see daylight through them, which also allowed bugs to get inside. The surrounding neighborhood felt a bit sketchy once you ventured away from the coastal strip.A few things fell in the neutral category: furnishings were quite sparse, but functional; the kitchen and bathroom supplies were adequate; and the digital handbook provided by the property management company was helpful. One logistical challenge was that the address listed on VRBO didn’t take us to the actual entrance—we had to rely on an alternate address sent via text to locate the correct access point.Overall, it was a reasonably comfortable and affordable stay, but the property would benefit greatly from some repairs and clearer directions for future guests.
