Owner is very responsive and friendly. The open floor plan made it easy to sit down and relax a bit before our cruise. The location was very convenient for hitting a few stores and an ATM nearby before we departed. We'd stay here again!
My friends and I stayed here prior to boarding cruise ship in Galveston.The place was a short drive to the port.Beach was a quick ride also.Overall, place was roomy, comfortable.Great option if need an overnight stay.
My husband and I stayed 1 night for our cruise. Conveniently close to cruise terminal. Cute house and the bed was comfy. Dante was nice and answered all our questions. Great stay.
Not alot to cook with it that is what you are looking for bit it met all our needs and the manager was very helpful when my niece thought she had left something there. We just stayed overnight for a cruise the next morning and the location was perfect for that
The pictures and the description were accurate. The beds were very comfortable. Everything was very clean and appeared to be pretty new on inside. Will definitely be staying there again for my next 2 cruises. Love that it is maybe 2 miles from the port.
Maybe a little wall decor might make it feel a bit more homey. Light switches a bit confusing

Disliked: Location
run down neighborhood, disappointing supplies
Neighborhood was sketchy. House was partially remodeled and felt barren. Not much in the way of decorating. Very little kitchen supplies. We hade to use an old mixing bowl to make a salad. Condiments were sparse and what there was, were very old. Backyard and front yard were both overtaken with weeds. Would not stay here again.
Communication with owner was excellent. House had everything we needed for a 2 night stay in Galveston. Parking is a little difficult with neighbors parking on both sides and the road being a dead end. Some cosmetic fixes and updates needed, and furniture could use a deep clean and new throw pillows. Overall, I would stay again.
The master bath shower would not drain and we seen a couple of bugs. The house had plenty of room for our group of 6 and the kitchen was stocked for cooking and the furniture was comfortable the price was right and stores were a few minute drive away. We would stay here again if we needed a place in Galveston
Perfect for us to stay at before we left for our cruise.
House is beautiful. Nicer than staying at a hotel. We had a party of 6 and it was perfect for us!
Highly recommend!!!
Unfortunately the hurricane impacted our travel plans but Dante was incredibly helpful and quick with communicating updates. Would definitely book again.
This house was super cute! We stayed one night before a cruise, and it was perfect! Dante was available to answer any questions and extremely hospitable. I absolutely recommend this place for a night OR MORE! Two king-size beds and an oversized bunk (I think double-double) are in the back bedroom. You can't go wrong with this one!
We enjoyed our stay here on Christmas Eve. We sadly only got to stay one day since we had to leave for our cruise. But the house is amazing and perfect for our family. Owners were amazing and answered any questions we had. We will definitely be back again.
