House was as advertised, location was great. Had an incident and host responded immediately to take care of the situation. Other than the smell of a dead animal outside on back everything was good. Looking forward to next year, hopefully same place. The only negative part was all my people did get to come as planed so one room went unused.
Such a great house & the pool was amazing! It was the perfect house for friends to gather and enjoy time together! The house came equipped with everything you needed & more… & it was such a cute house! Everyone had a great time!
We had a wonderful time!! The house is exactly what was advertised. We were looking for somewhere to relax and spend time with friends—-this home was exactly what we wanted. We appreciated the host being available for any and all questions. We will be back.
We had a wonderful time here, with 6 adults and 3 children, ranging in age from 3-79. The heated pool was a major hit with the kids, and the adults enjoyed the hot tub, as well. The house was clean, comfortable and well stocked, and Ashley was probably the most responsive host we've ever stayed with - she went above and beyond to make our stay perfect. And the golf cart came in handy, too!
Host was super helpful! The home was immaculate. The amenities were exactly as described and were wonderful to take advatage of during the off season. The host provided extra things like towels, games, etc that made the stay even better. I will definitely be going back!
The house had all the amenities to make our stay an enjoyable one. The pool and hot tub were a hit for the kids and adults and The location was perfect for beach activities and the pleasure Pier. Thank you for sharing your home .
This is an excellent place to stay in Galveston. Close to everything. The pool was exceptionally clean, and the backyard is a great place to visit with friends and family. We will definitely stay there when we travel to Galveston. The host was always prompt with a reply to any questions I had.
We had a great time staying at the Flamingo house! The hosts were very easy to communicate with and understanding. The house itself had everything you’d need for a stay (spices, cookware, dish ware, games) and the golf cart was a great way to get around town. Would recommend!
Very nice house with tons of amenities. We enjoyed the pool/spa in the backyard, as well as the outdoor grill. One of the best things was having access to the 6-seat golf cart to get around town and to the beach. Great communication with the owners. Plan to stay here again next time in Galveston!
Absolutely loved the house and the location. Our family of 13 had a grwat time in the pool, perfect for adults and children. The house had everything we could possibly want. The communication with Ashley was absoluty great. I definitely would recommend to all my family and friends
The home is decorated so beautifully and everything I could imagine in more was available in the home. From pool towels, extra toiletries, pool floats, beach gear and everything I needed to cook with! We will be booking again!
This was a wonderful property with easy access to The Strand, the Mardi Gras parade routes, and the pleasure pier. All of the beds were very comfortable, and the kitchen was well appointed. The pool, hot tub, and use of the golf cart really rounded out the property. Everything was very clean and worked flawlessly. The host was extremely communicative and helpful. Highly recommend.
Absolutely cannot rave enough about how perfect this house was! The layout was ideal for hanging out with friends! The pool was perfection! The huge bedrooms with king beds and gorgeous beach decor was everything we could have hoped for! And the icing on the cake was the pristine golf cart that we used to take to brunch, cruising down the seawall, and shopping on the strand! We will definitely be repeat clients!!!
My girlfriends & I stayed at the Flamingo House (party of 7) to celebrate a girls weekend. We had so much fun. Ashley made the stay very enjoyable by providing excellent details before, after & during the stay. The house was extremely clean (something I’m picky about, specifically with beach houses.) I have recommended this home to all my friends & colleagues!
Our family of 9 stayed in the Flamingo House from 12/26/2023 to 12/29/2023. We loved it! We really enjoyed the open concept and beautiful kitchen. We spent a lot of time in the wonderful pool and spa, and had fun riding around in the golf cart. The host, Ashley, was absolutely great, very responsive and kind in all of her communications. We all agreed that we would stay there again.
The home was beautiful and the host was attentive. We did have an issue with the downstairs ac and spa not working, but understand that issues may arise from time to time, as with any home, and the host had maintenance out to try and resolve it, unfortunately it was the weekend and parts were hard to come By. Our host, Ashley was wonderful and offered a reasonable solution. With that said, we would definitely stay here again.
