Poorly run by property management

Our family stayed here in the past. Not sure what happened by trash was piled in the front when we got there, a large portion of the kitchen outlets did not work and the property manager was not responsive to us when we called, mildew and fish smell inside, everyone waking up covered in bug bites after sleeping, large water stain on living room ceiling, hopefully it is from the recent hurricane and can be fixed but would not recommend

Weekend Getaway

The house was nice and roomy and comfortable. Would have been nice to have more necessities ... trash bags, toilet paper, paper towels.

Short Family Vacation

The description doesn’t exactly state its street parking but it’s definitely just street parking so it’s not guaranteed you’ll have a spot especially if your crew has more than 1 vehicle like ours. The location and cleanliness was great for what we needed. We loved the pool! It was a great place to hang during the downtime. The only real complaint I have is the trash can access. It was found the trash cans were located outside the back gate which was locked so you’d either have to squeeze through the locked gate to dump it or drive completely around the block to dump it. But then on the last day we smelt something very foul and discovered there were more trash bins under the front stairs that were completely full. I did ask about this situation and they responded within a reasonable amount of time. All in all, I’m very glad we stayed at this location and if we ever end up back in Galveston we would likely stay here again!

Beautiful house

We loved our stay. The only thing is there was no dish soap or hand soap. The dishes were dirty so we had to use shampoo to clean them. There was a lot of police activity behind the house. But, we really did enjoy our stay. It’s close to the beach and the pool was great. Our son enjoyed it.

Perfect spot for a Pleasure Pier Birthday Celebration!

This house is amazing - the location, the pool/backyard and the number of beds. My son and 2 friends celebrated his birthday with a day at Pleasure Pier with breaks to cool off in the pool. We will definitely rent this property again!

Weekend Getaway

This property is very cute. When you walk in there is a private bedroom to your right, livingroom to your left and stairs directly in front of you leading to an open loft with 2 twin beds and a queen. Continue down the hallway next to the stairs is the kitchen/dining room, bathroom and another private bedroom. The kitchen/dining room has a to the back balcony which over looks a beautiful pool and stairs leading down. The location was great, the house is adorable, the pool was fan

Beautiful historic home and in a great location.

I stayed at this house for a long weekend with family. The location is great and within walking distance to the seawall and a 5 minute drive to the Strand. The bedrooms were very nicely decorated and large. The upstairs was was a nice space with a queen bed and 2 twins and a bathroom. The kitchen was nice and large with an enormous refrigerator. It had everything we needed to prepare our meals and plenty of room to seat the 6 of us. The bathrooms were newly updated, and the showers were roomy. The best part was the beautiful private pool in the back yard. It was a perfect place to hang out and relax with the family. The only negative I have are the rental fees. If you are looking to rent this property, pay attention to the fees. They are just as much as the nightly rental price which almost doubled the price. The nightly rate is already a premium price and when you add the fees and taxes it was over $800 a night! The property is beautiful though and it was nice to stay in a historic home in Galveston so close to everything.
