Beautiful two story 3 bed 2-1/2 bath house with driveway parking for two vehicles and in a perfect location. The walk to the beach is short enough to come back to the house for a break/lunch and then head back out. The house was very clean and had everything we needed.

I recently stayed in Galveston while my son and friends went on a cruise. This place is literally down the street from the port- very easy to get to. This home is also steps away from Seawall and the beach. The property manager was very helpful and checked in often. There is renovation going on next door. There is a storage room that has everything you would need for a trip to the beach (very convenient). The house has everything you need except the food. The house has room for a large family or friend group. There are a few things that will not allow me to rate the property above 3 stars. The listing pictures are old and misleading. The couch needs to be cleaned. The shower heads in both bathrooms need to be replaced (functional but horrible). The beds are on the floor. Literally on the floor (with the exception of the bunk). Very uncomfortable mattress. If you have knee or back issues, you might fare better sleeping on the filthy couch. That being said, a friend came down from TX and she said it would be perfect for her family - I gave her the listing info. I guess it depends on your level of pickiness- this place has a multitude of positive attributes.
This is the kitchen area. Very nice.

Clean and comfortable house located an easy walking distance to the pier. Also an easy drive to the Strand District for restaurants and shopping. The host Jason was friendly, easy to communicate with and quick to respond. We loved being able to use the beach chairs and beach gear.

Nice house but had some issues.

Property was as described. But there was an issue with the property beyond the management ‘s control. Management was helpful in letting us out of the booking so we could rebook elsewhere through vrbo.

Beautiful place, perfect location.

We really enjoyed our stay. House is very clean and comfortable. Super close to the beach, the pier and within walking distance to the Strand. A quick Uber drive to the cruise terminal. Thank you so much for opening your home to us!

Galveston Spring Break Trip

We thought the house, location, amenities, were all great. The house had beach chairs and balls to play on the beach. All of the restaurants were within blocks. We rented a golf cart which was right next the house. Almost immediate replies from the host.This was our first time staying at VRBO and I we are hooked based on this experience.

Beautiful house that’s close to everything

My family enjoyed our stay at this house. Fully furnished kitchen , champagne shower , soft beds , modern decor , comfy couch and so much more. It’s in walking distance to the beach. I loved the covered garage to pull into. The host was very accommodating and check in & out went smooth. A great find !
