Terrific property. Just be ready to listen to music from the bars till 2. You’ll hear every bottle tossed in a trash can on the street below. I didn’t mind, but this could be a deterrent if you’re sleep sensitive.

What a great place! It's in a really good location, and was easy to access and extremely clean. The host was very communicative, which was so helpful and appreciated. The bathrooms are large and the beds were very comfortable. If given the chance in the future, we will definitely stay here again.

Great location! The pictures do not do this place justice. It is huge and super cool. We loved everything about Jellyfish. There are a lot of great restaurants, cafes, and bars within walking distance. It is on The Strand so don’t go for peace and quiet.

The loft was spacious, clean, and had everything we needed. Taryn has been easy to message and quickly answered all my questions. The location was perfect for us. We had no car, so it was easy to explore historic Galveston on foot.

My wife and I have stayed in a number of lifts in the Galveston Stand District and Jellyfish Lookout is our favorite. It's located on Strand Street which can get noisy on the weekends; however, the loft includes a white noise system and the primary bedroom is located toward the back of the unit and we had no difficulty in getting a good night's sleep. It's a great layout and the large windows provide perfect natural lighting to wake up to. The loft is thoughtfully decorated with a nice floorplan. The host was excellent and we plan to visit again
