Very pet friendly, though we decided not to bring our pup. Only complaint is that road work had closed one end of our street and workers parked behind our vehicle every morning. But not vrbo's fault.

Galveston retreat

Cute bungalow that was a great retreat away from the city. Furnishings are nice and we enjoyed the stay with our two dogs.

Highly recommended

House was clean and Erika was very responsive to any questions we had. Loved the location, ample parking, and the backyard was great for pets and fully fenced in. We will definitely stay here on future trips to Galveston!

Great stay!

My parents, wife and son had a great stay here for Labor Day weekend. It was as advertised and in a great location. They had two rollaway beds and we used one for my son, he slept really well. Just a note for future travelers, there was only one extra blanket but not many linens to make up a bed let alone two. So bring that if you plan to use them. My parents came a day later so we had them bring them for us which saved us having to find them. Other than that the stay was perfect! I'd definitely recommend to anyone planning to come to Galveston.

Wonderful

It was great! Good location, beautiful home, loved the swingset for my daughter, and the house was so well stocked. We were able to make several meals in the home and all slept like babies.The only two complaints we had were the dog hair that seemed to cover all of the soft surfaces/ blankets, and not being able to control the thermostat. It seemed to be on a set schedule that we couldn't turn off (and set to 74 at night). So when we needed to use the heater, it would jump up to 74 without us evening knowing it.Other than that it was great.
Response from VrboOwner on 20 December 2024
Hi Carmen, thank you for your wonderful feedback! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed the location, the swing set, and how well-stocked the home was. It’s great to know you were able to relax and sleep so comfortably during your stay. - We apologize for the pet hair you encountered. We’re actively considering changes to our pet policy to ensure future guests have an even better experience. - We’ll also investigate the thermostat issue to ensure guests can easily control the temperature moving forward. Your feedback is greatly appreciated, and we hope to host you again for another great stay!
