Shanna,
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear you loved your stay and truly appreciate you choosing us. We’d be happy to host you again anytime—looking forward to your next visit! 😊
There was no coffee and when we contacted the property manager, they were surprised and said the owner keeps it in the pantry. However, the pantry, along with every closet, was locked.
Me my girlfriend and one our friends couple did stay at that location for 4 days to visit and enjoy galveston.
Very beautifull place, roomy, simple and confortable.

Thank you for your feedback. We greatly appreciate it. We would love to have you stay again.
We enjoyed the property, it was clean and well kept. Wasn't a fan of the lack of storage space for the bathrooms. There was only one small shelf near the sink for everything. We had a couple of issues and the property manager was quick to respond.
It was amazing. We cooked out and had time to spend with the family. It had a lot of space where we wasn’t crowded… loved it loved it close to beach … over all amazing…
First time in a house on the bay. Nice pool and house very clean.
