It was very clean & the property management responded to our questions almost immediately. I would only say that there were no TV’s in the upstairs bedrooms & each bathroom did not have hairdryers other than that they accommodations were great. The beds were very comfortable.

Nice abode close to the beach!

We stayed at this house for a quick getaway after the July 4th weekend with the family! The house itself is very nice, and the accommodations were great! The location is about 6 min away from the historic Galveston pier, as well as a couple blocks away from the beach, so it made it the perfect spot for a quick stop at the beach/ pier with family.

Family Getaway during Dance Competition

I booked Summer Bliss due to my daughter’s dance competition at the Galveston Convention Center. The location of the house is perfect. Close to the Seawall and stores. Loved that the house included towels and some basic essentials which allowed us to travel with less. Will be booking again in the future

Perfect for a night in Galveston.

We needed a space for 9 (7 adults and 2 kids plus a dog) right in Galveston. It was perfect. The house was clean and served our needs beautifully. The owner was very communicative and everything went smoothly. If you're going to do any cooking, just know that there's nothing stocked (salt, pepper, etc.) and no paper products. This was never advertised, so wasn't a let down, just wanted folks to know.

Some disappointment

During our stay, we found at least 7 beetles in the house. We found 2 children’s socks, dusty and dirty, under furniture in the living room. It was a nice house, but needed just a bit more decoration to feel “homey”. We would have enjoyed a grill outside, a few more towels and wash cloths in the bathrooms.

Overnight stay

Our group of six adults stayed just one night before our cruise. The home was very nice and had all we needed. Much more comfortable and about the same price as getting three hotel rooms but we were able to relax and hang out together playing games. Very quick and easy to get to the cruise terminal the next morning. We cruise out of Galveston often and hope to stay here again when we travel with a group. Highly recommend.

Great Place and Location

We stayed at Summer Bliss the night before a cruise. I picked this over a hotel as I was with my son and his friend and hotels on a Saturday night are expensive. I had never stayed in a vacation house before. This house was clean. The owners have obviously put some work into the house to make it feel welcoming. There are three large bedrooms: a master and two upstairs. We had a great time and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The only thing I would suggest is to have night tables besides the upstairs beds and hooks on the doors to hang towels as there were none. The upstairs bedrooms have no closet space either so it was difficult to hang anything. Though inconvenient we were only there for a night. We would stay again. The owners are communicative and friendly.

Great place to stay!

Lovely home, nice layout in great condition. Like the location, close to restaurants and walkable to beach or just around the neighborhood. Furniture including beds and seating are all very nice and kitchen is well stocked with dishes, coffee maker, etc.. Two very minor issues both of which might be out of the owners control, again these are pretty minor. First, we kept getting an unpleasant smell inside the house. Could not pinpoint it as to location and there is a chance it was coming from outside as well since we did notice a fire burning a few miles away that the wind blew smoke toward town. Also, we watched the large downstairs TV and could not get a sharp picture on it? On this issue all four of us agreed upon and we tried various adjustments but could not fix it. TV still watchable but wanted to point this out in case its an easy homeowners fix.

Excellent place for older kids

Thank you for allowing us to stay at Summer Bliss! We enjoyed many aspects of the property. As the average height of our family is about 6' tall, having 3 queen beds was a priority. Having the primary bedroom on the main floor with an en suite bathroom was great; nice touch with the comfortable London Fog bed sheets. The blackout curtain and blinds gave the great options to control the amount of light during the day and night. The 2.5 bathrooms were a great aspect, along with a washer and dryer. We appreciated the photos and descriptions on VRBO, so we planned accordingly for appliances such as a large fridge, gas stove, and bringing our own Keurig cups. Controlling the temperature, having fans, and comfortable couches for Netflix added to the welcoming atmosphere, along with having a table for meals. Proximity to the beach worked well for us, and the key code simplicity made it so all our family members could get in easily. Thank you for the excellent email correspondence. We booked last minute, and it was nice to have the First Morning Check to see how we were doing and a reminder for the last morning checkout. We would return to Summer Bliss if possible and available!
