Absolutely perfect!!

A lovely apartment for our one night pre-cruise stay in Galveston.Jamie is a wonderful host and made us feel so welcome. Her son, James picked us up from Hobby airport (for a reasonable cost) and Jamie ran us down to the local grocery store and cruise port. The location is ideal, close to restaurants and the pleasure pier. We highly recommend Kwik Kabana!!

perfect!

it was such a cute little place to stay with my best friend. the host was super friendly and had great communication. everything was presented nice, and she provided snacks and a couple of drink refreshments. it’s a small space, but it was nice and comfortable for myself, best friend, and my boyfriend to hang out before and after the beach. the bed had room for her and myself, and there’s space for two more on the sofa bed. 10/10!!!

Nice and cozy

Although it was very short stay (delayed flight). The accommodations were very nice. Jamie was very welcoming and we even received a complimentary bottle of wine. Jamie gave a ride to the port to catch our cruise. During the drive she gave us a nice little tour of Galveston and let us know of it’s history. We will definitely consider staying there again if we are every back that way.

Awesome trip!

My son and I stayed at Kwik Kabana prior to our cruise. What an awesome place!!! Clean, comfortable and convenient. The location is great! Right across the street from the beach and walking distance to a lot of great places to eat! Our host, Jamie, is the absolute best! Very friendly and helpful. Communication with her was unbelievable! She took us to the port and said that if it worked out, she could pick us up and get us to the airport, she is a terrific individual. We will definitely be back even if to just visit her! Totally recommend!!❤️

Nice place for a couple

The place was just right for our short stay. Nice and cool instead and a comfy little place to set outside your door. Jamie was an excellent host and followed through as she said with taking us to and from port for the cruise and let us park our car in her backyard. She also took us for a short tour of Galveston before dropping us off at port. Thank yoy for everything!

Just book it!!!!!!!!!

Let me start by saying , I don’t usually do reviews. This place is Ana absolute GEM! Th place was small and comfortable. It was very clean, the owner had wine and snacks and everything was stocked. With that being said the real beauty about this trip was the owner Jamie. She lives in a studio above Ilya and she was the most communicative host I’ve ever had and I have stayed at A LOT of places. She was willing to pick us up from airport and dropped us off at the cruise terminal when it was time to leave. She even toured us through the city to show us all the historic sites before we left and we didn’t ask for any of it and she didn’t ask us to pay extra but we had to give her a. generous tip bc she saved us in pick up and drop off fees. You can look out the front and see the back (like a 2 min walk) and there is stores and golf cart rental place to tour the coast. Overall 10/10. Thank you Jamie!!!!!

This is a true must visit if looking for a place in Galveston! Jamie was the best! The place is everything we hoped during our stay. Perfect location, Jamie was very attentive and accommodating. We stayed the night before our cruise and she was the best, housing our vehicle and the transportation to and from the port was priceless! Thank you again Jamie and son James!

Great Time!!

Kwik Kabana was perfect for me and my husband. It was just a quick walk to the beach and close to a lot of eating spots. The Kabana was in a safe and quiet neighborhood. Jamie was an excellent host, extremely helpful, and very knowledgeable about the island. She gave us some great recommendations on restaurants and sight seeing. We enjoyed our stay immensely and would stay here again!!
