The location is charming. The main house (not part of the guest accomodation) is beautiful. The neighborhood is interesting to walk through and has lots of great character. On street parking was convenient and shaded. The host was quick to respond to our request one evening. Thanks!

Fabulous Galveston Rental!

This house is the perfect location from the strand and the beach. We stayed for a full week and it was the perfect size and had the amenities we needed for 7 days. Very clean and quiet property, has all you need if you want to cook in house as well. Owners were very friendly and helpful. I highly recommend!

Clean, Beachy, and Perfect

My family loved it here! It was comfortable, cool, and clean. 3 mins from the beach, and in a very cute historic neighborhood. The sofa was super comfy and the tv was gigantic! We had some great movie nights! Kitchen was great, and there were very decent pans and utensils available for cooking. This place was also well decorated, we really appreciated the nice finishes everything had. We definitely recommend this place!
