This was a clean and charming house for our group to stay overnight before our cruise. There was plenty of room and it is a very convenient location. I would stay here longer the next time we come to town in order to enjoy the outdoor space as well! Great communication from the host as well!
The property was in a great, central location. It was extremely clean and well kept. The house did run slightly warm, but August in SE Texas is usually hot. There were high powered fans provided in nearly every room that were perfect for cooling everything down, however. We were very happy with the level of communication and availability of the manager. Everything was great, and we would very happily stay again!
We stayed in the house the night before we got on the cruise ship. It is not far from the port or the beach. The house was nice and spacey. the check in was very easy. I will stay again!
This house was very clean and easy to get too! We enjoyed our stay! The only fall back for us was one of the bedrooms smelled like someone had chain smoked in it! But all in all the house was clean and we will be back!
I stayed with my family for the labor day weekend and this place was great! It was like being at our own home, it was 9 of us total and the sleeping arrangements were perfect. The house was furnished with everything you would need, you would just need to bring yourself and food if you are going to cook. The location was perfect as it was just down the road 4 minutes from beach! This was my first time renting on VRBO and was very pleased with this rental, i highly recommend this property to anyone looking to stay in galveston, definitely gonna be using this property on future trips!

Overall it was a nice house. I would suggest that the house get cooled off before guests arrive. Also not all outlets work in the house and the middle restroom smells. But we enjoyed our stay.
Nice little house. Back patio was a nice place to hang out. Pretty good location and was quiet. Would stay here again

We enjoyed our stay . So many beds and the 2 1/2 baths are great for a big group. Very clean and beds were comfortable. Being mid-summer the only negative I have was it was a little hot in bedrooms. All the extra fans were a big help maybe just another little a/c window unit in each bedroom.
The house was perfect for us as a sibling group of 6, we all had plenty of room to stretch out for the day while waiting for our annual cruise. We will keep this one on our list.
The rental had plenty of space for our group. The AC wouldn’t cool and kept going up when we put it down. Don’t know if it was controlled by host but was uncomfortable one night with it being 77 at night. The outside could us some cleaning up and care.
We stayed the night before our cruise, easy check in, great communication with owner, got code 48 hours ahead of time. Cleanliness of House was good. Though, House needs quite a few updates. There is quite a few spots on the walls that need painting and had patchwork done in several different areas of the house, and a few spots with marks on the doors & walls, which was not very appealing. The AC did not get cold at all. Temp on thermostat is as cool as it got in the house. But other than that inside, was fine. Outside on the other hand needed quite a bit of work. There was a pile of wood or construction material in the back up against the fence by the back patio, which was a snake hazard, I was not even risking going back there, an extension cord running under the back stairs, who knows where that went or where it was plugged in, the entire yard was overgrown, weeds growing through all of the sidewalk and patio, trash stuffed in banisters up front outside, and bags of mulch laying in several places you can tell have been there for a good while. So yes yard needs a little TLC. And yes I take pictures of everything as soon as we arrive at any VRBO so we don’t get blamed for anything. I have more pictures than I can upload. But overall it was not bad stay and it is in a great location to get to the cruise ports.
