Nice place, tortured by roaches

The house is in a nice area. Close proximity to beach, pubs/restaurants and stores. Kitchen well stocked with cutlery, glasses and cooking utensils/equipment. Heavy layer of dog hair on some of furniture. The place would have been ideal but we were tortured with roaches the entire time there. Had to kill two to three in the kitchen every day, they made in onto the cooker top even into the dishwasher. This is even after taking all due steps to clean dishes immediately after eating and leaving all the kitchen surfaces pristinely clean. They even made it to upstairs bedrooms and bathrooms also. It really took the shine off the place for us. Deeply regrettable.

Home Away from Home

This home is in a wonderful neighborhood. It's a quaint, but spacious home. It's approximately 2-3 blocks from the seawall; an easy walk. My favorite part of this home is the screened in day room. Each morning, instead of hearing vehicle, you can hear the waves of the ocean. It's so peaceful. Also, this time we used the fireplace which was cozy and beautiful.

Woodrow Manor is in a great location

We loved the location. We were safe, happy, and comfortable. It is a quiet neighborhood. The home has everything you need. I didn't cook this time, but the kitchen looks fantastic and if we return to Galveston at a later date, I would love to cook in this kitchen. The showers are big and roomy. The water pressure is great! It was too hot and humid to really enjoy the outdoors, but there is a screened porch. There is a beautiful old magnolia tree in the front yard. The bathrooms and bedrooms were very clean. Once the sun came through the shutters, you could see that there needed to be some dusting done on the furniture downstairs. And the backsplash behind the cooktop needed a cleaning. The front door has mildew which could be fixed with a wipe down. The screen porch needed a good sweeping. I did find a broom and swept some of it up so we would not track it back inside when we took our little dog outside. The grass has not been mowed in quite some time. I think there has been a good amount of rain that contributed to that as well. When I took out our trash, I noticed the bottom of the bin could stand to have a cleaning too. All in all, it was nice and I was able to fix the things that were bothering me.

Great Home

I want to be selfish and give it 2-stars so we can always rent, but it is definitely a 10-star. We are in an age where we want beautiful, clean, close to the seawall, near restaurants; this is the place. The owner has impeccable taste. Love sitting in the screened day area, which you can hear the waves instead of the cars. It's truly one of the safest, best neighborhoods. We truly thank the owner for opening the house to us to rent.

Family Trip

I booked this place for myself, my brother, and some cousins. We came down to Galveston to celebrate a family member turning 16. The property was lovely. I did have some trouble communicating with the property manager ahead of time. I wanted to know about an early check-in. I reached out the day before and did not hear from anyone until the following day. There were some gnats and flies in the house. There were some I. The freezer also had some dead flies/gnats in it. I cleaned those out.

Quaint but dirty and SMELLY

This house had a lot of potential but the downstairs smelled moldy, wet, and dirty.... even oily/greasy. Trash and bottle caps in the outdoor patio. There was a thick layer of dirt around the stair railings and on the shelves in the kitchen. One nook had a ton of dog hair and dirt that was obviously there a long time. Cleaners tried to wipe around the spices and such on the open shelves but very clearly could see the left behind dirt. The decorations were nice. The sheets clean. The beds a little too hard for my comfort but no issues. Kitchen well stocked with plates, pots and pans, utensils, etc. Some areas could use a paint touch up. It is an older home in an older but nice neighborhood and expectations were as such but the smell downstairs.... ugh. Horrible. Address the smell and this place has a mid 4 star potential!

Absolute gem

This place is a hidden gem. From the history of the house to the screened in porch and quiet neighborhood, it is a perfect getaway. This home may not be on the beach or walking distance but it is the perfect cozy home away from home. Thank you for opening your home to our family. We loved every minute of it and will be coming back.

Great home for the Holidays!

This is my 2nd year for XMAS at this home, COLD weather in Galveston, but this house with the fireplace and space was amazing. Downstairs cold- but thankfully we had firewood and enjoyed the home. I will be back for sure.

Good location. Cleaning and communication were problematic.

This was our second time staying at this home. The first time we were here, it was great. This time, we arrived to find white dog hair all over the floor and the furniture. (I had to vacuum the entire house.) The key pad also did not work, so we had to get the key out of the lockbox (and then only had one key between us, so we had to coordinate entry and exit at all times.) During our stay, a homeless man sat on the curb in front of the home and left a bag full of mail (we called the police). All in all, a less than ideal stay. Unfortunately, we will not be staying here again.

Home Away From Home

This property is what you would expect in a rental! The home is VERY nicely decorated with nice updates and quality furniture. It also had a FULL accommodating kitchen with quality pots and pans and a wide variety of seasonings. I usually bring my pots and pans when renting a home, but this place had it all and it was all high quality, including the appliances. The neighborhood is nice and quite with very kind neighbors and we had plenty of parking space for 4 cars. They also had plenty of extra blankets and pillows and the home was well stocked with towels. When towels were low, we simply washed them. They even provided detergent. My only minor complaint is that when we arrived we noticed the grass was in desperate need of a cut and we received the wrong entry code. The grass was at least 5-6 inches height. Regarding entry, we simply placed a call to the 800 number provided with our confirmation and at least that issue was fixed. The grass height however, prevented us from enjoying the back yard as we had hoped, but the screened in back patio made up for it. What a nice home. My family and I all said that when we visit Galveston again, that will definitely be our location to stay. It’s a gem!

Very spacious

Check in was tough. None of the codes given belonged to the door to get in. Enjoyed the quiet, but homeless folks/wanderers are an issue in the town in general along with someone showing up by the porch half dressed in the middle of the night and creepily watched while my daughter and I were out there talking. Scary stuff. But house in general was amazing!
