The house was clean and linens were fresh. Garage access was a plus, as was the location to restaurants, shops, and cruise port. There's a bar right next door, so you will hear nouse, especially in the bedroom on the 3rd level (not so much from the 2nd level room). It was noisy, but not rowdy.

The place was very clean. Excellent location. We will definitely stay here in the future. If I had to give one thing to make better, I’d say at least one bedroom needs a bigger bed. Besides that this place was fantastic. We’re in town regularly to visit my son at Texas A&M Galveston. So we will be back. Host was quick with answering questions.
