We had a lovely time at this property for a quick overnight before a cruise. There was plenty of room, great communication with host and a very clean property. We would definitely stay again! Thank you!
Great location for our needs staying one night then getting on the ship we were able to take a nice long walk to Stewart Beach and walk to our cruise ship the next day no problem we were comfortable and rested
We spent two days prior to a cruise departure, house was perfect for our group of 18. Had all the amenities we needed, close to restaurants, shopping and entertainment. Quiet neighborhood. Would stay again
We had a large group stay here and it worked well for us. While there were some cleanliness issues and some things that needed repairs, overall we enjoyed our stay. The rooms were spacious, the beds were comfortable, the arcade games were a huge hit with all ages and the pool was great as well. Russell was quick to reply and easy to work with. We’d stay here again on another trip to Galveston.

This house was perfect for our large group to have Thanksgiving at. The host was great to work with & responded quickly when I had a question. The house was deceptively larger on the inside than it appears from the outside. We had no issues with the neighbors even with the houses being fairly close together. Overall it was a great stay & can't wait to go back in the warmer months to take advantage of the pool
We had a wonderful night staying at this house before our cruise. Everything in the house was as advertised on the listing. The house was perfect for our group. The kids all loved the game room and that was nice to have something to keep them entertained. The host was extremely quick with responses to questions and communication in general. I would highly recommend this listing to any large group.
This home was very lovely! It had everything that was advertised! It was large enough for our group with room to spare. Very clean and well-kept! The owner was very responsive to any question that I had!
Thank you Russell! You have a lovely home.
Unfortunately we didn’t get to stay due to a family emergency.
But we’re looking forward to booking again. It will accommodate our party and the game room is a bonus for our grandchildren.
I know the area well, it’s in a quiet peaceful neighborhood. Very close to the ferry, beach, restaurants and shopping.
I would highly recommend this property and the owner is very attentive to your concerns and needs.
The property was as described minus some updates that could have been addressed prior to our arrival. Our concerns were mentioned to the owner and his response was very quick and appreciated.Overall, the house was very comfortable and welcoming. There was plenty of space for all 8 of us to sleep well and we did. The kids loved there game room and all the beds were very comfortable. We had plenty of cookware and utensils to prepare our meals which was convenient and great.My only suggestion is to fix the issues that were mentioned upon arrival because, the property has a nice home feeling. Lastly, the pool Owl gave me the creeps LOL. One minute its looking to the right, 2nd minute its looking to the left, 3rd minute its looking straight at me LOL. Maybe I had one to many Vodka on the rocks LOL.Continue to be Blessed.Thanks
The house is a good size with lots of room to move around. The pool area and the patio were nice. The arcade games were very cool. The location was very convenient. Overall, our stay was enjoyable, however the house just needed some attention. The house was not cleaned well before we arrived for one thing.
Floor tiles were loose, the gate latch was falling off, pavers were tipped over, blemishes on the walls and just minor things that could be rectified. I adjusted the height of the shower curtain because it was dragging on the floor. Aside from these minor issues, the place is very pleasant.

Disappointed in the cleanliness
Where do I begin? The pool was great. Perfectly placed to be shaded during the early evening hours. After that let’s begin…The floors and bathrooms were disgusting. Some of the bath towels were see through. The furniture is very worn. It was very much appreciated that the cleaning staff came out and cleaned again for us but they didn’t do a very good job and were only there for 10-15 minutes and all they did was spray Fabuloso on the floor and rub it around with a dry mop. We also saw a large amount of bugs and smeared, dead mosquitoes all over the walls. The place has a lot of potential but some TLC is needed.
Location was great, pool was great for the kids. Could have been cleaner upon arrival, although it didn't bother me. There were piles of swept up trash and not picked up. Kitchen could have used a larger selection of cook ware but we made do. So, may want to bring extras, did have extra toilet paper and trash bags (a plus for air bibs)
Pet friendly and I think I can speak for her she WAS SO HAPPY SHE GOT TO GO ON VACA WITH MOM!!!!!
Loved the bedrooms and the game room and ended up sleeping in there on the bottom bunk one night watching Tv. Still comfy ! WILL BE BACK!
DEF RECCOMEND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PS. Pool guy came twice a week to clean the pool and he was super nice!
Y'all book today!
