We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Galveston

The cottage was very clean and comfortable, it was in a great location. The kitchen was well stocked, we enjoyed our coffee on the patio and the shops on The Strand were within walking distance. We will definitely stay at the cottage again.

Darling house

It was a lovely place to stay. Top notch appliances, good beds, handicapped accessible showers. The only stairs we had to climb were in the back. It is a beautifully done property.

Beautiful Home!

So beautiful and great job on the Reno! We loved this place and it’s cleanliness. We enjoyed the home so much that we decided to stay In instead of going out one of the nights we were there. Can’t wait to rent again!

Wonderful property, enjoyed our stay!

The cottage is amazing and we had a wonderful time. Its located close to good restaurants and all of the historic homes we were there to see! Decor is luxury coastal, and the house is very inviting. We enjoyed our stay and the spacious living areas as well as the private bathrooms for each room. The patio is amazing and if it hadn't rained we would have loved to hang out and build a fire. This place is awesome, the neighborhood is quiet and safe, and its close to everything. Would love to return soon!

Patio is shared. Not private.

Property was beautiful. Had a very good stay. Your ad does not specify that patio is shared. Person renting the garage claimed fireplace and couches were for them, small tables were for us. That is not the impression Given on Vrbo.

BEST VBRO RENTAL I have ever booked

As a very frequent renter of properties I can honestly say this is the best rental we’ve ever had. I cannot think of one single complaint that we had. All of the appliances are brand new (refrigerator, dishwasher, stove, microwave, front load washer and dryer). The location is only a few blocks from the strand. I didn’t realize it had three bathrooms when I booked it so I was pleasantly surprised. The owner came by the first day to make sure we didn’t need anything. The air condition works great. They were not any utensils that wasn’t provided. They had laundry detergent dryer sheets etc. Again everything in the house Looked brand new from the appliances to the bedding. We rented the home this past weekend June 7-9, 2019. The next time we travel to Galveston I plan on renting again and we will likely rearrange our trip to a time that this house is not rented so that we can stay there. I’m not sure what their limit is on the number of people who can stay there but it can easily sleep eight using the hide-a-bed.. Thank you Kim and Alex for allowing us to stay in your home!

Great Place to Stay

The location is out of the way so that you are not getting all of the noise for activities happening in the area, but close enough to walk. Place is nice inside and outside and has a great setup.

Great Place to Stay!

This place was great! Very clean and well kept. The front door code didn't work on the door but that was fine. The driveway is in the back and the back door had the code and the key. We just used the back door. We have no complaints! Kim was great to work with. We would love to stay here again!

Perfect place to stay for a business trip. Galveston Island is too commercialized 4 a family vacay.

The interaction with the owner during the entire rental process was excellent.
