LOVED this house

This home is wonderful. It’s even better than the photos. We love the architecture, the decor and pretty much everything about it. Everything in the house was easy to use and worked and it had everything we needed. The location is awesome... a about a 3-5 drive minute from the beach and Pleasure Pier. We hope to stay in this same house when we go back to Galveston.

Perfect Galveston Getaway

What a wonderfully restored, thoughtfully stocked home. Every single person in our family absolutely loved this house. The AC was cold on both floors, the kitchen was outfitted beautifully, and the owners even provided hand soap, toilet paper, and paper towels. Every part of this house was comfortable and beautiful.

Good times in Galveston!

We had a fabulous time visiting Moody Garden and Pleasure Pier and the host was kind enough to share suggestions for dining and shopping that was spot on - local businesses with lots of history and charming decor. The house was fabulous! A great blend of old architecture with beautiful updates and beach vibe decorations. All beds were very comfortable and the A/C kept the entire house cool and comfortable. We chose to eat out but the kitchen would be perfect to prepare and serve large meals for a big party.

Aggie graduation stay

We came for my son’s graduation weekend from TAMUG. It was a perfect central location from the school and restaurants/shopping. The house is decorated well and even had Christmas decorations. We couldn’t have been more pleased.
