I really enjoyed the overall experience. The host was super friendly and helpful, always available to answer questions and offer suggestions for things to do in the area. The amenities were also top-notch, with a comfortable bed, a well-equipped kitchen, and a clean bathroom. But what really stood out was the location. It was perfect for exploring the city, with easy access to public transportation and plenty of restaurants and shops nearby. I would definitely stay there again!

We didn’t realize how close to the beach we really were! Such a beautiful house and so spacious and gave us plenty of room especially with 4 different girls to get ready. Walmart is super close! So that was a plus. We loved it thank you for hosting us!

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy
The kitchen utensils were not clean. The bbq grille didn’t work, full of propane but didn’t work, it also was extremely rusty. The ac system is “locked on hold”, this made it very difficult to adjust and would not change from the hold. So the house was cold or hot, depending on day or night. We continued to run out of supplies like dish soap, trash bags, etc. While the house was decorated nicely, I would not recommend for anyone with young kids as some of the stuff is breakable if handled too much. Also, most of the stuff has price tags. Luckily I had all teenagers and told they are paying for anything they break. If you are a coffee drinker, they do have a nice setup to make coffee every morning. Also, they were doing construction next door all day during the week, while typically you can’t control, we later found out it was the owners house also. Made it very difficult to relax and work from home. A big recommendation would be to provide to more than one key, we were in two different places a lot and had to use the difficult lock box constantly. I will say the owner is extremely nice and responded to text very quickly.
Front blinds unable to close because they have stuff on the window seal.
Stuff crowding the door that is for sale.
Construction going on next door.
All dead bolts lock from the inside with a key only! Very dangerous for night time emergencies!

Birthday getaway

The house itself was in a great location for us. We checked in a little later than check in time and ran into the owners who were taking care of the plants in the yard. The lawn itself was overgrown and we’re informed that the lawn care service would be here the following day to take care of it. We had to plug in any lamps that we wanted to use throughout the house. The ice maker on the refrigerator constantly dripped so I had to place a towel in the door to catch the water. The cleanliness of the house needed work. We ended up with black feet after walking around the wood floors. The advertisement of an inviting back porch was misleading. It was very overgrown, dirty with a used tissue in the table and a grill that needed to be cleaned. We found a child’s wallet on the edge of the porch as well. After looking through the welcome book we found the owners of the wallet and sent them their items. I think the house was unprepared for visitors, even though we booked months in advance. I did appreciate the fact that the house was big enough for my family and that my daughter got to celebrate her 21st birthday on the island.

Cute house

This house was so cute! We went for my daughters 16th birthday. We had a good time, house is roomy. One thing with families with kids is I feel it was so fragile. Meaning I was afraid the kids would break or ruin things if they touched anything. Would definitely recommend for adults but maybe not for small kiddos that like to touch and pick up things. Luckily my children are older so it was fine for us. Lots of things to buy around the house which made it feel like a little store/museum with all the history attached.

Excellent Home Away From Home

The Pearl is absolutely amazing. It’s one of the best vacation rentals we’ve stayed in. It was extremely clean and inviting and had all the necessary items to provide comfort and entertainment while in Galveston. Nicky was super easy to communicate with and messaged several time throughout our stay to ensure we had everything we needed. The location is in a perfect spot to be close to the sea wall, water park, and Moody Gardens. We will definitely be back!
