Excellent location and very convenient.

We had to extend our stay and the owner was very helpful. Responded quickly to my messages. Location is excellent especially if you are going on a cruise. The loft was very clean and comfortable for the six of us!

The title says it all. This place is a gem with everything you could possibly need for a getaway on the island. Walking distance to the strand, close driving to the beach and the seawall. Easy check in, beautiful, clean unit and a private balcony.

Perfect for us

We wanted a quick overnight stay in Galveston. It was small, but perfect for us, since we didn’t want to stay on the beach. The window unit was a little loud, but that was mostly a problem with our kids. We would definitely stay there again!

Great loft!

We stayed here the night before our cruise. It was cheaper than getting 2 hotel rooms and it was very clean and cute. It is old so the windows do have a draft but the heater and ac work great so it really doesn’t matter because you don’t have to pay the electric bill!

Wonderful large loft in perfect location

We can't wait to come back to this gem. It's a perfectly clean, well appointed, large loft, with a rooftop "deck". The location is in walking distance to The Strand, great restaurants, etc. Some people may consider it a negative (we did not) that there is a long flight of stairs to go up, and you may have to park a couple blocks away. I wish we had known about this place earlier - we will be back.

Hurricane cancellation

Booked for july weekend right after hurricane beryl hit. Tried to communicate with the hosts hoping to get our refund back because of the natural disaster. They still charged 100% because the house has no damage. Rather lose our money than take risks to travel around Houston area at this time. Ridiculous senseless people!

Our stay at the Beach Box location was very accessible to restaurants, stores, shopping centers, and the Seawall Beaches. It was spacious and clean. This location has stairs which gave us all a work-out in itself. The only issue we had was with the dryer. It was non-working the first 3 days, and we had to travel to do laundry. Once reported, the staff replaced it before we left. All and all, I would book here again.

Charming place!

This loft was so lovely! I picked this place specifically for the balcony. It had a cute porch swing which I definitely made use of since the weather was really nice. Really loved the sky light and all the natural light that floods this place. The bed was very big and comfortable! Everything looked up to date while maintaining the distressful look of the old historical building. We had a fun overnight trip. This place is walking distance from the strand and historical red light district. So there were lots of food options and places to shop. I would definitely come back!

1-night stay before Crusie

Everything went smoothly and was a great stay. Just a couple of things I wish are a couple of extra blankets and pillows. Another thing is the bathroom has mold around the shower and might need some remodeling. Otherwise, everything was great and quiet! Plus it's a nice area to stay.

Great spot in central location

We rented this cute loft space when attending the Polar Express train ride at the Railroad Museum. The location was perfect! We were able to walk the 2 blocks, which not only saved on parking but added to the overall experience.The loft itself was beautiful, great natural light through the wall of windows, & it was decorated well with a nod to nautical (without being kitschy). The choice of bunk beds was a fun addition for our daughter, and the king bed perfect for my husband & myself. We didn’t utilize the kitchen, but it seemed well stocked with basics & had plenty of space. This is a great space that we will book with again for future trips!

Loft Stay

It was very convenient to the strand, so we could easily walk for food and shopping. Very cute place with lots of old features. They had everything you could possibly need except a dresser or somewhere to place your luggage instead of just within the closet. I do think the bedding could be upgraded, but overall it was a nice place to get away for a night.

Cozy and Stylish Loft with Amazing Location near The Strand

Our small family was very happy with our Thanksgiving weekend stay at the Market Street loft. The unit is unique, comfortable, and has all of the amenities we need. It's located in a great location with restaurants, coffee shops, and boutique stores and is a quick 10 minute walk to The Strand. We are looking forward to returning in a couple of months!
