Perfect Location

We had such an amazing stay! The hosts were absolutely wonderful—so friendly and accommodating. The place was immaculate and in a prime location, just steps from The Strand and surrounded by tons of great bars and restaurants. Having access to the garage was a huge plus since parking in the area can be tricky. We especially loved the balcony—it was the perfect spot to relax and enjoy a cocktail in the evenings. Highly recommend and would definitely stay again!

Anniversary & Baby's 1st Trip

The location of this rental couldn’t be any better. Steps away from the strand and harborside restaurants. We really appreciated the garage at street level, so nice not having to park on the street. The interior was perfectly decorated and set up with everything you could need. The balcony is another great feature. Our 3 month old loved sitting in her rocker in front of the window. The bedroom was spacious, with a very comfortable bed. Enough room to fit the bassinet next to the bed. We will definitely be renting this property again in the future!

The condo was located in a great area close to the port. We enjoyed the deck and listening to the band next door.

Galveston getaway

My husband and i, along with friends, went to Galveston to celebrate our anniversary and play golf. We found this listing on VRBO and it sounded perfect. Thankfully it was! Right at the end of the Strand it was quiet and peaceful but within walking distance to shopping and restaurants. The home was beautifully decorated and had all the amenities we needed. The deck overlooking the street was a great place to relax in the evening. The Italian restaurant a block down was our second best find of the trip. We'll definitely be back.

Excellent!

This place is unique and has a great location to The Strand and cruise terminals. The garage was such a great perk to park our rental car. Very clean and inviting. We will book this every time when we cruise out of Galveston.

Awesome place!

We were blown away by this cute, cozy loft and all we could say was WOW! It is perfectly decorated and the kitchen is fully furnished with almost anything you will need. The beds are comfy, the bathrooms clean and the balcony is a nice place to sit and relax with a glass of wine. The large pull in garage was even big enough for a crew cab pickup! We will definitely try to stay again.

Perfect stay and play before cruising

The place was top notch. King beds were nice and cozy. Bathroom plenty big and shower was perfect. The huge kitchen was very modern with huge island. Living was comfortable to watch the games. The outside second floor deck over looking the street view was so nice. This is a three story condo with a secondary King bed and bathroom on the second floor and then on the third main floor is the main bedroom (King) and main bathroom. This is where the kitchen, living room and outside deck is also located. Be aware of the two levels of stairs. The only thing that was a little hard to figure out was the locking of the front door when you were already inside. It would be nice to have an old school dead bolt to lock from the inside to make sure it was secured. The town is literally right outside the door. Resultants, Bars and attractions all easy to get to.

Halloween on the strand

This place was amazing and really good for two couples wanting to spend time on the strand during any festival. Great location at the beginning of the parades wonderful host even left us a bottle of wine, which was yummy. We loved it so much. We booked again in February for Mardi Gras. An amazing bonus was the beds were very comfortable, which is not something you typically get in a rental
