This was a great experience. The house is across the street from the beach. It has an off-street parking spot. Walkable to all the entertainment and dining.

Thank you for your stay and your 5 star review! It was great having you. We love to hear that you enjoyed the location and especially the dog surf competition!
Convenient to the seawall and several restaurants nearby including Pleasure Pier and a community park if you’re looking for that entertainment and activities. Would have liked some more towel hooks or rods in the bathroom.
The property was everything promised! Clean, comfortable and efficient. Near to the beach, dog park and restaurants. We had a wonderful, relaxing stay!

I'm glad you highly recommend Nikiboko, Dianne! This place is in the perfect location beach days and shopping days. I'm happy the kitchen was large and met all your cooking needs. We'd love to host you again!
The house was just as expected and while I loving being beach front it was the perfect distance considering I couldn’t be on this trip. Great location for my 3 teenagers to have independence. The host was very responsive and answered any questions promptly. We will definitely be staying here in the future.

Thank you for your amazing 5 star review, Paige! We appreciate hearing what you enjoyed about your stay. Looking forward to having you again! -iTrip Galveston
This home was very nice and clean! Loved the layout. Only thing that would have made it a more perfect vacation would have been to have the flower bush cut back as it was growing over the sidewalk at the gate and to also have hotter water in the shower. It was lukewarm at best. But all in all I would stay here again

The house was as expected. A bit more worn but acceptable. Very short walk to beach. No, no view from house but one was not expected. A couple of issues cropped up such as as electronic door lock code did not work. Called the management and problem resolved. Same with TV remote. Dead battery. Resolved.

Absolutely Amazing!
Very cute home! Everything was immaculately clean! Beds were very comfortable! Has all the necessities you need to start with! Washer and dryer along with a great size fridge! Literally a hop jump and skip from the beach and Pleasure Pier, amongst great restaurants. It’s near some great little fishing spots! And if you need anything your host is just a text or phone call away! We will definitely be booking this home again for future family get togethers
