This property was just as cute and quaint as described in the listing. It was also pet friendly so that is always a plus. I’d love to stay here again as it’s a perfect size for my family and in a great location.

Very clean and charming. Better than the pictures on the internet. There wasn't enough room to park our truck off of the road while opening the gate making ingress and egress a little awkward. The owners were gracious, friendly, and helpful in every way.

This was our 3rd stay at the house. It has always been spotless, nice and cool upon arriving, and well stocked both in the kitchen and bathroom. Tanya responds quickly to messages and has worked with us with some requests. The house is in a very convenient area to the beach, and The Strand. The best part of staying in Galveston is we are able to bring our two dogs along. Tanya always has some toys waiting for the pups.

If you have four legged friends or two legged kids this is the place for you. There are a lot of amenities that make sense and make life easier for you (such as a waste bag dispenser in the back). The property was clean, there were books and games for the little ones to play with, and everything worked well. The owners were responsive in their communication and left helpful reminders (such as the WiFi password) where it was easier to see. I would stay here again!

Loved this home, appreciated the ability to park our vehicle inside the gate for added security, the yard is clean and pet friendly it was a great size for my cattle dog to run around, the home had very intentional placement for doggie bags, receptacles, coffee bar, dishes and cutlery, and extra toiletries which was so nice and accommodating!

This was the perfect place to stay while visiting Galveston. with my mom and my husky. So many small details and amenities that most hosts do not think of. My husky really loved having a fully fenced yard and would sit in the front in the evenings to people watch. I honestly wish I had planned my trip to stay a couple of extra days.

This was our second stay here. Once again we were not disappointed. Tanya is wonderful to work with, VERY accommodating. We booked in October for January and unfortunately Mother Nature chased us out of Galveston. We love that our dogs get to come along with us. They LOVE walking on the beach smelling all the ocean scents.Tanya leaves toys for them and upon our arrival there was a bottle of bubbles in the refrigerator for our anniversary.We will be back for stay 3 in spring/summer.My daughter also rented here in September and enjoyed her stay. She has a huge dog so she was thankful she was able to bring him along with them. Sometimes it’s difficult for her to find accommodations because of his size and breed. This is a GREAT little house,clean, comfy,great location.

Perfect place

Just like the pictures. They have EVERYTHING you need, even a toy for each of our dogs. The yard is wonderful for the dogs or children.The fence in the front is short so if you have bigger dogs they could easily jump it. We never leave our dogs unattended while staying at VRBOS.If you forgot any toiletries chances are she has travel size there. Plenty of coffees,creamers, and other goodies for your hot beverages. Both bedrooms had small table top fans if you need a fan for sleeping. Over the last 10 years we’ve stayed at a few properties in Galveston and this has been one of the nicer ones. Highly recommend it! .
