The location is awesome just a couple of blocks away from the Strand. The arcade games was a nice touch. A lot of neat small shops all along the way. (Daiquiri Time Out) Just down the street. Recommended. We will definitely come back. Ground level.

Comfortable stay. As advertised. Left a wall socket charger behind the nightstand. I contacted host and explained I’d be in Galveston the following weekend and wanted to pick it up. Host stated that they would contact me back. No reply.

The location of this property was great, just a few blocks off the strand and the video games were a hit with the kids. We booked for 1 night only after our cruise and would book again, but not with as many adults. The 2nd bedroom with triple bunks was not the most ideal sleeping arrangement for my grown kids because the spacing between each bed was very short and the ladder to top bunk was very narrow, also no air from the ceiling fan got to the bottom bunk. The room would be fine for kids, but not grown men and women. Also some type of storage in the bedroom would be good, there were no tables or drawers, everything had to sit on the floor, which is also fine for children.

We went for a 3 day trip with the kids for oldest son’s birthday and we let him him choose the place. He was shocked at how awesome it was to choose a place with a mini arcade. We absolutely loved it and can’t wait to stay again!
