Pre-cruise visit

The home is very large and can comfortably sleep 22. There were many nice upgrades which made the home feel high-end. The floor in the living room needs some repair but everything else was in good condition. We would definitely stay here again.

Overnight Stay

We had a short stay in the house prior to our cruise. Overall, we were pleased. The house was clean, we had plenty of towels and it worked for our group. The only negative is that it's an old house and Galveston was going through a cold spell which made it difficult for the furnace to keep up.

Great Stay Prior To Cruise

We had a group of 15 friends and family leaving for a cruise and were able to all stay together the night before we left. The house was spacious with plenty of room for all us. The pool was nice and refreshing as well. The location was perfect for us as well.

Rally

Place was very roomy and accomated everyone in our group perfect. We had extra visitors like roaches and a huge RAT (not a mouse). Not too mention while taking a shower damn hot water would cut off and had too finish with cold water in all the showers. Floors were uneven and broken, someone easly could break an ankle.

Galveston Family Vacation

We enjoyed the house. It was clean and spacious. We had more than enough towels to use. The kitchen needed a few more pans. The pool did not get clean until the day we left. This was disappointing as we booked the rental because the kids love to swim. Overall, beautiful rental.

Great House for Friends to Gather

We had a fun gathering with 3 families and really enjoyed our stay. Plenty of room for all 15 of us to sleep and spread out. Kitchen is huge, couch and beds are comfy, and 3 “master” bedrooms were perfect for our group. The top floor with games was fun for the kids. Location is good too- central to most Galveston attractions.

Perfect for a family gathering!

We rented the home to bring extended family together with an elder who “missed her family.” This was the perfect home to grant her that wish as well as provide a great getaway for our family! The children loved the video games and third floor dedicated to them and the adults loved the patio and open floor plan on the main level.
