Cruising Convenience

We came to town headed on a cruise and the location of the place is very convenient to the port. Everything was as described and I would definitely come back to stay again.

The house is an older house but in great condition. The inside was great and clean. We had a very nice time here and the price was not bad. I will be staying here again in the near future and i will be telling others about it.

Wonderful place!!

The house is everything you could hope for. Beautiful and clean. So comfortable! Our host, John, is great!! It's close to The Strand and the cruise terminals, and also just a short drive to the beach. My family and I loved it....and highly recommend staying here.

Beautiful, Clean, and Comfortable

Check-in was EASY and we had no problems with getting in and settled. Host was very easy to get in touch with and attended to any needs we had. The beds were soooo comfortable and everyone slept well. The neighborhood is quiet, the house temperature is perfect, and they had everything we needed. It's close to everything you want to do in the Galveston area. Can't wait to return! - The Smith family
