Loved the rental

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.

After Christmas Vacation

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.

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.

Amazing house

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.
