Relaxing Stay

We spent a week at the 1925 Bungalow and were so glad we chose this home. It had all the amenities we needed and we were quite comfortable there. Very clean and the bed was extremely comfortable. We loved our location just west of downtown, not far from the East End historic district and close to numerous good restaurants frequented by the locals. It was all we could hope for!

Lonestar rally. Place to stay, sleep, eat, and enjoy our time together. Felt safe with cameras around the house. Walls are thin could hear noises front front of house to back of.

A wonderful family getaway

Overall the stay was lovely. Easily accessible. Quiet neighborhood. Close enough to the beach for a good job and just down the street from Broadway J. The house was perfectly kept and very enjoyable. Loved playing the board/card games available and enjoyed watching the fireworks from the backyard. Alberto and Julia were awesome and understanding hosts and we will definitely be staying here again in the future!

This home was beautifully remodeled to the aesthetic of its original craftsmanship design, detailed with the perfect amount of modern amenities. Very clean, perfect AC temperature, and all the accommodations of feeling at home. Not too far from the beach in a quiet neighborhood with plenty of food, shopping, and grocery options nearby. Highly recommend, would definitely stay again.

Perfectly Pink

We came to Galveston for just a fun weekend getaway. The hosts were super nice and friendly and they stayed in constant communication if we needed anything at all. (Which we didn’t other than food recommendations lol). Their home is so beautifully redone and it was convenient to the beach and strand. They had everything stocked and even had bottled water in the fridge! Highly recommend!

A good basic rental with a few faults

This was a nicely updated older home with adequate off street parking. We liked the features of the home and the location but had a number of problems with stay. First, the trundle beds' linen appeared to not have been changed in a long time and was dirty. Second, there were no wash clothes, at least that we could find. Less important, but good to know for those of you (like me) who find foam mattresses to be hot and uncomfortable, the master has a foam mattress (the front bedroom has a regular mattress that was perfectly fine).

Little big things

When we walked up my wife said oh no this place is not clean. The porch & the front of the house could have used a power washing. Then we were disappointed that the grass in the backyard was about a foot tall. We would have liked to use the fire pit in the back yard but it was a jungle. The deck in tge back has rotten boards not to a point of falling thru but screws are sticking up so barefoot on deck is illadvised. The grill was to dirty to use and would not get hot. Looks like the burners are clogged. It is a beautiful little house and location was good and we all enjoyed our stay but it would have been better had these details been addressed
