Condition of the house was great and the backyard was great with a wood fire pit. It was very close to the historic house district and the Strand. There are a few great breweries in Galveston that you have to check out we spent time in the backyard around the fire pit and you could hear the Golf. There is a great little corner store probably a half a block away. The lady works there was super nice and you can get all your basics there if you forget anything. It was a great base location. ##### Michael M. Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lezlie D.

Mar 16, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Cozy house, great location The house is nice with an updated kitchen and downstairs bathroom. It was comfortable for our family of 6 and we loved that it was pet friendly. Good front porch and backyard area. I’m not sure it would be comfortable for 11 people - it’s pretty compact and the bathroom upstairs is small. But, overall it was light and airy and clean. Fantastic location - quick walk to the beach and not far from Pleasure Pier. Conveniently located to lots of bars, restaurants and activities. The host was very attentive and easy to communicate with. We would stay again! ##### Shelly T. Stayed 5 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stephen M. Aug 8, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location and amenities! Definitely recommend. So many positives about this place, where to begin? The house is conveniently located within walking distance to the beach, and many of the items you want for the beach are provided (e.g., wagon, chairs, boogey boards, inflatables, sand toys). We didn't go to Pleasure Pier, but it's definitely walkable. It is a short drive to The Strand/Pier 21/the ferry and a little longer to Moody Gardens. It is very conveniently located, and the off-street parking, to include a single car garage, is definitely a bonus. The actual accommodations leave nothing to be desired (e.g., comfortable beds, smart tvs in every bedroom, full-size washer/dryer, on-demand water heater, etc.). It has an outdoor seating area and grill, neither of which we used, but the fact that they were available deserves recognition. Also, the yard is fenced which was very convenient since we brought our pup. Last, Jason was very responsive whenever I asked a question before and during our reservation which I appreciated very much. I've had owners who said they were concerned about my experience, but when I asked a question, crickets. Bottom line, would stay again and will definitely check if this is available next trip to Galveston. ##### Stephen M. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rocio G.

Jul 15, 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy #### Misleading photos and Cleanliness concerns I usually don’t leave negative reviews, but I felt this was important for future guests. Unfortunately, this property did not match what was advertised on the listing.When we arrived, the place was clearly an older beat up house. Some things just seemed like they were half-prepped such as provided adequate necessities for a listing for 8 guests. It felt more like an empty shell than a vacation rental — where we had to buy a few of our own essentials such as cooking oil, paper towels, shampoo. The photos and description gave the impression that it would be stocked and ready for guests, but it clearly wasn’t.In addition, we encountered serious cleanliness issues. There were visible rodent droppings in the kitchen, and we saw cockroaches in the bedroom and bathroom during our stay. This made it very difficult to feel comfortable in the space.For the price we paid, we expected at least the minimum comforts and a little more care in preparing the space.This could be a decent spot if properly managed, but as it stands now, it’s just not guest-ready. I would not recommend booking unless the listing is updated and more accurate to the actual condition of the place. ##### Frank L. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Susan L. Oct 19, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We were able to park a couple of cars in the back of the house, and were able to park our other car in the front. There was also space for additional vehicles if we had had them. The host was on top of things, and made sure to communicate regularly, including after we checked in to make sure everything was okay. I appreciate that. We were able to grill our steaks on the grill that was provided, and the kitchen was very well supplied. We enjoyed our annual stay in Galveston for the Walk to End Alzheimer's. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1e0af4b0-4074-431d-bac8-c4f071ac92be-1760893868654.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Susan L.
