Refreshing, cozy, and pet-friendly place to stay, and relax with family, or friends.

Friendly, and quiet neighborhood close to the beach or downtown Galveston. Comfortable beds to rest on, a homey kitchen to cook dinner in, and a good sized backyard to watch your dogs run around. Recommended for a nice, comfy getaway.

We had a great stay! It was a girls cousins trip and we needed a place that would fit 6 of us. We fit very comfortably and the location contained everything we needed. The owners were very responsive as well. We ran out of trash bags at one point and they brought us more within an hour. Overall, great stay.

Convenient and Well Appointed

Location is excellent, whether you are a beach person, a foodie, or just love to relax in a laid back town with great amenities. We found this location to be well stocked with everything needed for a care free weekend with easy access to all our planned activities. Owners were most helpful with quick responses and great communications.

Very clean, cute and comfortable

We stayed 1 night (me and my little kidos). It was a very nice place and very well kept. Plenty of towels and and everything we would need. I did wake up to my car scratched from what I’m assuming is someone who tried to park next to me in the drive way but that’s not the owners fault at all. It was a wonderful time and we will be back for sure.

Terrible

I would not recommend this property. The whole time we were there the upstairs tenants banged on the floor all night and day. I reached out to the tenants and asked them if they would keep the running and banging to a minimum and they basically did the complete opposite. I reached out to the host and informed them what was going on and they was not any help. We had to leave and come back home just to get a good nights sleep.

Great stay but noisy

The property owner is so nice and the place is nice. Wonderful place to stay. Clean. Great amenities and hospitality. Our only issue was noise. This unit is downstairs and the renters upstairs had 5 toddlers. The downstairs is an add on to the original house I think and there's absolutely no noise reduction. You can hear every step they make upstairs. Not so bad during the day with the TV on but at night trying to sleep and in the morning. If they aren't asleep you won't be either. I'd stay again but in the upstairs unit for sure

To begin we couldn’t get into the property. Owner wouldn’t answer their phone. Stood outside for over twenty minutes before we finally gained access. Once we got inside there were rat droppings all over each bed and the floor. The owner offered us the condo upstairs which didn’t have enough beds and didn’t discount our stay at all.

Spring Break Stay

Upon arriving it was easy to find and get in the house. They do provide instructions on how to get into the property and anything else you may need before you get there. If I had questions they were responsive. The house was clean and had just about everything we needed besides baking sheet pans. The only thing that I didn’t like was that the queen beds were to firm for me but the pillows made up for it. For a family of five it was definitely enough room for us. I loved that they had a shampoo, body wash, and conditioner dispenser in the shower. Unfortunately for us it was cold during spring break, but we did have a mini unit to help warm the house up. If you are sensitive to noise you will hear the upstairs neighbors. Once a again they were very responsive and that is something I absolutely love. Thank you again for the wonderful stay! We’ll be back!

Disappointed

The idyllic picture painted for this dwelling was far from reality. The entrance was down a very narrow alley that made it very difficult for my wife to utilize with her handicap. Turned out to be a basement area with no interior rooms, therefore zero privacy. We booked for five people and there was only three beach towels provided. The advertised hairdryer was nowhere to be found. The outdoor shower was not useable. The fees and services provided did not match. Overall very disappointed.
