It was ok. We just stayed one night. The couches need to be updated. There is a very small t.v. In the living room could be a little bit bigger. The lady was very nice and very responsive.

We’re glad to hear you had a pleasant interaction with the host and that communication was responsive. We followed up with the homeowner after reading your feedback, and they wanted to share the following:
- The couches in the living room were replaced about a year ago, and one of them is a pull-out sofa, which can sometimes feel softer than a standard couch.
- The TV size was selected to fit comfortably within the layout of the room, which is narrower in design.
- The listing photos and description provide detailed information about the furnishings and layout, including the pull-out sofa, so guests know what to expect before booking.
- We’re always reviewing guest feedback to see where improvements can be made to keep the home comfortable and enjoyable for future stays.
Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts!
Nice convenient place to stay for a quick getaway for a small family.

From the Owner: "Hi Ervin, We're so happy to hear you enjoyed your stay — thank you for choosing to spend your time with us and for visiting our island! It was a pleasure to host you, and we truly appreciate you thinking of us. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back on your next visit."
It was nice and quiet but the only thing that was not comfortable was the beds are hard but other than that I will recommend two people for a quick trip.
The contact was nice through txt but it was a little strange interaction. This issue was mold.

Let me preface this review by saying that the host, Ms. Carrie, was wonderful. I needed extra blankets and she responded immediately. Now for the not so great. The beds were all horrible. The queen bed was hard as a board. The couch pull-out mattress was basically springs with a sheet on top. The bunk beds also were like springs with sheets. We wanted to use the shared hot tub, however, it was unusable. Water was green. We only stayed one night, so it worked for us. I just would not recommend any extended stay.

We are sorry that your visit was not what you expected. We appreciate your comment on the quickness of our response to your request for extra blankets.While we try to accommodate all guests' comfort, we're sorry the mattress didn't meet your preferences. The queen bed is a very plush mattress. The bunk beds have the mattresses that go on a bunk bed.The pull-out couch has the mattress that came with the couch. Unfortunately, they are literally factory-made and go with the couch. As far as we know, it can not be replaced.The hot tub is monitored weekly, and there are colored lights that can make the water appear colorful. The lights came with the hot tub.
We spent time at the beach and Schlitterbahn in Galveston and this was a great space to have as base camp while we explored the island. Our kids loved the bunk beds! Check-in was easy and the host was incredibly responsive and helpful. The space was well laid out and worked great for our needs, and the towel heater was an excellent addition!

Loved the inside! Don’t let the exterior confuse you. The inside was well done and made for a great experience. The “depot” theme was a great touch. If I ever find myself needing a place to stay in the Galveston area, I will not hesitate to book again!
It’s an awesome location, very very clean! It has everything you need, better than any hotel! Definitely recommend! Communication with property management was a concern but other than that it was awesome! Will definitely book again!
Property is questionable from outside but inside was so cute. My only complaint is the pull out bed mattress is ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE! the bunk beds are also rock hard! Terrible sleep. So glad it was only one night.. please consider upgrading matresses! Host was great with communication though
Everything was so nice and well kept! Such easy instructions and great location!!! We had a mixup when checking in and it was solved SO fast and she was so nice about the whole thing!!! Would absolutely recommend and book with her again!!! My boyfriends and I had a wonderful first trip to Texas together and this place was a big part of it!

Apartment was okay, lots of ants entry smelled like old urine cleaned with lemon. A mouse ran across my daughter foot while sitting in the living room. It was uncomfortable. A/Cunits leaking mildew visible. I’m allergic to mold and mildew among many other things so my allergies was on 10. If they get control over the bugs and mice it would be okay but it wasn’t for me.

Family trip
Emergencies sometimes happen when least expected. The condo provided a convenient location we could comfortably stay together.
Our host was more than gracious, insuring every request was taken care of and helping us any way she could.
The apartment was large and clean with all necessities supplied.
Conveniently located 3 blocks from the Seawall and it was a short distance to multiple restaurants.
The next time in Galveston will be a true vacation and we will definitely stay again.

From The Owner: "Thank you for your kind review! We are glad that you enjoy your stay, and we're looking forward to hosting you again!"
Apartment was fine but when we got home at night we had to park pretty far away in a scary neighborhood. We also had someone knock on kitchen door that faces the ally late at night.

Hi Julie, thanks for taking the time to leave a review! After reading your feedback, the homeowner wanted to share the following:
- We sincerely apologize that you were not fully comfortable during your stay. Street parking is our only option. We do state that information in the listing so our guests can determine before they book if our apartment suits their needs
- People knocking on doors is an external factor outside our control, but we'll consider what options we have to prevent this from being a reoccurring issue
Thanks again for reviewing your stay, as we look forward to hosting many satisfied guests!
Exactly as described. Had plenty of room to all be comfortable and relaxed. It was very easy to contact the owner when there was an issue with unlocking the main door. (It's really hot and the lock was being stubborn) She came right away and helped us. We had all the kitchen equipment needed to cook supper and that saved us a good bit of money.
Good location. Easy access to beach and restaurants. (About 3 blocks to beach) This isn’t a private place, there are multiple residents and other rooms being rented out. The courtyard was nice to come back to and use the hot tub. They also have access to golf karts 4 & 6 seaters for an additional fee. We took advantage of the 6 seater and it was nice and easy to drive around to the pier and beaches. The few cons I would say about this place is the beds aren’t comfortable at all. The water pressure & hot water is minimal due to the multi usage of the property. Overall we enjoyed our stay, and the host was super nice. (The host lives on the property)
