Good times in Galveston!
We had a fabulous time visiting Moody Garden and Pleasure Pier and the host was kind enough to share suggestions for dining and shopping that was spot on - local businesses with lots of history and charming decor. The house was fabulous! A great blend of old architecture with beautiful updates and beach vibe decorations. All beds were very comfortable and the A/C kept the entire house cool and comfortable. We chose to eat out but the kitchen would be perfect to prepare and serve large meals for a big party.

Perfect Galveston Getaway
What a wonderfully restored, thoughtfully stocked home. Every single person in our family absolutely loved this house. The AC was cold on both floors, the kitchen was outfitted beautifully, and the owners even provided hand soap, toilet paper, and paper towels. Every part of this house was comfortable and beautiful.

Loved it
We loved it. We would stay here again. I felt like I was staying in someone's home instead of a rental. It was very comfortable. The weekend we were there was very windy and overcast so we didn't spend as much time at the beach as we expected but Galveston has plenty of other things to do. All the furniture was comfortable, including the beds. I did see comments about the rooms upstairs being open to each other so I was a little concerned about that but it worked out fine. Each room had a door into the hallway that latched (not locked) and each interior door that connects the rooms doesn't latch but has a door stop to hold the door closed. The description states that two cars will fit in the driveway and being this is Texas and lots of people drive larger vehicles I want to note that my husband's 4door, long bed truck fit snuggly in the driveway with barely enough room to close the gate. Two normal sized cars will fit fine with the gate open. Just something to keep in mind if your party has multiple vehicles especially larger ones. We rented a golf cart and parked that in the driveway with the gate closed and two trucks on the street. Street parking didn't seem to be an issue, we comfortably parked two trucks in front of the house each day and there was room further down the street if we had needed it. We stayed with our adult children and all of them said they would stay there again.

Aggie graduation stay
We came for my son’s graduation weekend from TAMUG. It was a perfect central location from the school and restaurants/shopping. The house is decorated well and even had Christmas decorations. We couldn’t have been more pleased.

Elaina’s annual visit!
Beautiful home! Very clean and spacious for our large family. The accommodations were just as the selected home described. Everyone enjoyed their own beds. The location is close to local restaurants and the beach. We will for sure be coming back to stay again in the future. Thank you to the amazing host for keeping in touch!

Good for the money
7 of us were in Galveston for an offshore fishing trip. We stayed two night at the house. It is pretty much as described although we didn't spend much time at the house other than sleeping. Parking for more than 2 cars is probably the biggest issue we had. The place was clean and the neighborhood quiet when we were there mid week. Close to much of what you'd want to do on the island. We will stay there again.
