Would stay again

Overall would stay here again, but some things to note. The place could have been cleaner. Our feet were black when walking without socks. Also the location was pretty loud. Each night we woke from the neighbors around 3am. Lastly leaving a welcome package like a few bottles of water would be appreciated by guests.

Great little spot just off the Strand

Just down the street from the Strand, this is a good option if you are looking for a fun place to stay in Galveston away from the beaches. The games were fun and there is more then enough from for a group of five.

This property was located in the heart of the island where all of our favorites are located. Probably the most well-stocked VRBO we’ve ever stayed at-it has everything! The bed was incredibly comfy and the place was nice and roomy. We would definitely stay here again.

The perfect place to stay for us

This property was a wonderful place to stay for us. We needed a long term rental for work in Galveston. It was close to all the places we needed to be and had plenty of room for an office space. The patio was a key selling point because we enjoy sitting on ours at home and this made our work trip more comfortable. We will gladly return to this property in the future.

Comfy and cozy on The Strand

This conveniently located former shop space, now two bedroom apartment with patio, was a perfect getaway in Galveston for our family. Walking distance to The Strand, the Railroad Museum, Fisherman's Wharf and much more. By car the location gave quick access to Broadway and Seawall. Inside we were comfortable with all the necessities of home with a furnished kitchen, comfy living room, two bedrooms and a game room for family foosball tournaments. We loved the back patio with the firepit, where we made some great memories. Russell was an excellent host and provided great information and responded in good time anytime we had a question. We will be back for sure.

Convenient Stay!

Such a cute and cozy place with excellent proximity. We had a 1yr old so noise on the strand was a concern but we still needed to be close. This spot was perfect! A few noises from the apartment neighbors who have to walk up stairs but no one was out late or overly noisey. House was well equipped for a short stay.

Great time, great location

We had a great time here and the arcade games and foosball table provided were a really neat experience. We had no issues with cleanliness, beds were prepared for us, and the owner was very quick to communicate. The best part - this location is walking distance from The Strand and many restaurants near it. The people we met in the area were very friendly as well. Nearby parking was free for 2 hours, and free between 6:00 p.m. and 9:00 a.m. Overall, this was a enjoyable location with great proximity to places to visit in the area.

Disappointed

We planned a 4 night stay with 4 adults and 2 children. THE GOOD: the children enjoyed playing the arcade games. Though one of the guns for the terminator shooting game didn’t work but it wasn’t that big of deal. THE BAD: We arrived around 9pm and that’s where we realized there is no designating parking, it’s like downtown parking. We had to go around the building a couple times but finally got a spot.

Cute place

The flat was really cute. Perfect for family of 4. Location was walking distance from The Strand and a short drive to Pleasure Pier and the beach! The only issue for us was the back door It would not open. Maintenance came out to open it but once you lock it, it doesn’t open again. That is my only complaint. We will definitely stay there again. Hopefully the back door will be fixed.
