Perfect place for girls trip

Shortys Bungalow was an absolute gem! The decor, comfort, amenities and location were perfect for our stay in Galveston. We loved the backyard and the game room. We enjoyed the home so much. It was a great place to come back to after a long day of exploring the island. I would highly recommend staying at Shortys.

Shortys Bungalow falls way short!

Hot tub did not work, could not use it. Both toilets stopped up . Floors were not clean upon arrival. No toilet paper. Front door code did not work , got locked out twice. Ants in the house. Beds were VERY UNCOMFORTABLE.
