Girls weekend

This is the perfect property for a trip to Galveston. We did a girls trip and had plenty of room for the 6 of us. The property was very clean and the beds were extremely comfortable. Kitchen was well stocked dishes and cookware. The Seawall beach was a 2 block walk and the property had chairs, umbrella, coolers, sand toys, beach chairs, and a huge wagon to make for an effortless beach day. Although we didnt use them, there were also 6 bicycles for use. Multiple seawall restaurants are just a few blocks over and The Strand was a quick Uber ride away. The property owner was extremely nice and responsive. I would highly recommendthis property.

Great for our family vacation

Casa Vida was a great vacation home, just a short walk from the beach. The property was clean and well-appointed, as it appears in the pictures. We loved the fun beach decor, and the owners thought of everything to make things convenient and comfortable, such as providing movies and games, kitchen essentials, beach toys, and even some snacks. They went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed and to ensure that our stay was going well. We felt it was in a safe, convenient location, and we thought it was a great value as well. I would definitely recommend this property!

Great Galveston Vrbo

The decor and landscaping of this property was beautiful. My husband, myself and our 4 teenage/young adult children stayed here comfortably, and no one had to be on a hide-a-bed or air mattress. Nice porch for morning coffee, and grill on back patio, which we used to bbq one night. 2 blocks from beach, and they have bikes, coolers and beach toys there for your use. We even locked ourselves out one day, and Mary very nicely came over and let us in. Would highly recommend this property, and we will stay there again if we are ever in the Galveston area. Thank you Mary and Henry ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Weekend vacation

We stayed for a weekend and got in late the first night. Mary turned the lights on for us and ask if we needed anything. The place was perfect for my family. Good location, 5 min walking to beach or restaurants.We rented a golf cart which made even easier to get around. Mary had a book of everything we needed to know about Galveston. Places to go, things to see. The house was clean, very relaxing, neighborhood was quiet. They had all beach accessories you needed if you didn’t have something. We will for sure book here again when we’re in Galveston.

Lovely Home in Residential Galveston

This house is located on a quiet residential street, a couple of blocks from the seawall and beach. It is comfortably furnished, with a well equipped kitchen. We cooked almost every night for the month we stayed. Part of the Galveston's charm is that feels like a place where place where people actually live - not a contrived beach town. That extends to this house. Probably built in the 30's or so it is funky and full of character. As such the rooms are smaller as was typical for that era. Basically,if you want a boring, mundane suburban home go elsewhere. Our only complaint is that the hurricane shutters make the place a bit dark. Probably not a problem in summer, but in winter, when a lot of time is spent indoors it is noticeable. The hosts, Mary & Henry are great people. Natives to Galveston they have tons of local knowledge which they are happy to share.

Convenient for everything

Had a mother daughters mini vacation this past weekend and to say we had a blast was an understatement! Our faces when we walked in to this beautiful house was priceless! Especially my girls fighting over which bed they were gonna sleep on. We met Mary the 1st night there and she was very welcoming and nice to talk too! The house had everything you needed to beach stuff (all of it), bikes and walking distance to shops and food! Definitely recommend! Thank you for being such a great host!!

Absolutely Amazing

We cannot give a big enough thumbs up. The house was gorgeous, clean, inviting and fully stocked with everything we could possibly need. Communication with Ms. Mary was wonderful, she and her husband really made our stay comfortable. She even went out of her way to find a bike with training wheels for our 5 year old! We can't wait to come back again :)

I dont even know where to begin. We (myself, husband and 2 granddaughters 3 & 5) stayed here for 4 of the most amazing days. Ms. Mary and Mr. Henry are amazing and wonderful people. Their home is so warm and welcoming. They thought of everything you could possibly need or want. We will definitely be back! Thank you for the wonderful memories!

Family of 4 or 5 and a Dog? Look no further!

If you're looking for a place to throw a good party and get rowdy, look somewhere else. If you're looking for a nice escape with your family of 4 or 5 and a small dog, sign up now! We live in the Houston area and made this trip as a brief reprieve from the COVID quarantine. The things that made this place so great were the location, the responsiveness of the owners, and all of the little extras that they thought about to make your life easier. Paper towels, ziplocks, fully stocked kitchen, and a gas grill? Check! Bikes to ride the seawall and vouchers for freebies at restaurants and other attractions? You better believe it! Beach stuff... canopy, ice chests, beach chairs, sandcastle toys, and a huge cart to haul it all in? Gotcha covered! Mary and Henry may even throw in a little surprise for you. We enjoyed our stay and if we come back to stay again in the future, we'll have no problem figuring out where to go.

Proximity to the Seawall...walking distance. Some days you can hear the Gulf from the front porch. The neighborhood is well established and safe.
