Cabin feel

Was overpriced on this app, on booking. com would have paid the same price I paid for 3 days, for 4 days. Place is nice and homey though. But you can get way more space elsewhere for the same price.

Needed a place to stay for 11 plus a 3yr old prior to boarding Cruise out of Galveston. This place fit our needs perfectly and was budget friendly for everyone. The remodel and decor done by the owners are fabulous and you won’t be disappointed.

We really loved this house. We only stayed one night, but I would highly recommend it. There was 9 of us in our group, and it was very comfortable for all of us. The location was great also. There was plenty of restaurants within walking distance as well as Pleasure Pier. The host was very accommodating, and communicating.

We absolutely loved staying in this home! We had 5 kid with us 7 and under and it was the perfect home for entertaining and the playroom was the perfect supply to give them a spot to escape to!

Wonderful location. Very cute house decorated beautifully. A/C was very cold which we all loved. Lots of space so we never felt crowded. Just a short walk to the beach. We even rented 2 golf carts and cruised the beach strip. Really enjoyed the house and location. Cant wait to rent it again

Spacious and Charming

We absolutely loved our stay here. The first thing we noticed when we walked in was the beautiful natural light that highlighted the charming shiplap walls. We had no idea how massive the house would feel once inside and enjoyed exploring the upstairs with its tucked away bonus room. The kitchen was very spacious and well appointed for meal prep. Loved the high ceilings too. The rooms were numerous, and though there were only three of us on the trip, it would be great for families. The hosts were wonderful and thoughtful, leaving extras like teas and coffees for us to sip on the front porch. We walked to the beach, the pier, and shops with ease. It was a wonderful experience.
