Great Stay & Cute House!
The house was so cute and a perfect size for our little family! It’s in a perfect location to Pleasure Pier, East Beach, local delicious restaurants, and more! All neighbors friendly and we felt very at home! Being originally from New Orleans, it had the vibe we love with a fun, calming beachy twist! I’d definitely recommend the Lavender House or any of their properties! Hosts are attentive, kind, and always available to help! Definitely book with them!

Cute as a button!
My husband, myself and 14 yr old grandson at the Lavender house. It looked just like the pictures on vrbo. The colors of the outside and the cute little front porch were great. The beds were comfy and the rooms inviting. My grandson loved the fact we could venmo a pizza for him! All in all it was a great place to stay. I would book again. Orlando and Kally thank you so much for a lovely stay!

Cute but not safe
My friend and I planned a little girls trip away from Houston. We came Friday evening and went out. Came back to the house around 1am and had a man across the street staring at us. He left and came back. We did not feel safe as 2 women by ourselves since this guy was coming from the house across from the backyard. We felt this guy was not watching for good reason. With that we left that night due to safety. Don’t bother telling the host if you feel unsafe as it’s specified in the notes of an “urban” area or whatever. We come from Houston it’s just as cultured. With that, would not stay or come back again.

House is super cute and clean. Check in was easy. Pet friendly! Only suggestion is maybe include the backyard is shared in case other homes have dogs too. Our dogs are friendly but don’t like being startled by other animals. Host was super quick to respond on communication.

Cute and cozy
We booked this cute cottage for our stay before our cruise. It was just blocks away from the port and was really neat to see the ships in the morning. Everything was perfect and clean.
Just a word of advice—if you book during high school football season, be prepared to hear the game and if you leave losing your parking spot. We left to go eat and when we returned our spot was taken, we drove around Galveston for about 30 minutes before the space was freed up. Wasn’t a big deal at all just wanted to prepare others.

Get-a-way
My parents decided to take a weekend to visit the island and attend a concert at The Grand. Mom loved the colors and decorations. Especially the fact they could bring their dog. It was just great for what they needed. Easy access and close to a lot of things they wanted to do. The park nearby was a bonus. We’ll definitely keep this house saved. Highly recommend.

Quant little house perfect for the weekend
Our stay way perfect. The only comment i have is for kitchen storage space, we only stayed for 2 nights so it wasnt bad, but we had to get creative with storing chips and other snacks. Everything else was perfect. The hosts were very attentive and quick to respond. The first aid kit even came in handy on our last night. We loved how organized everything was and it made it super easy to find anything you needed.

Absolutely wonderful!
We had an amazing time visiting Galveston! We only really used the house to sleep, but the beds were so comfy and the blankets and when you set the right temperature in the room we slept like babies. I don't know why someone would leave a negative review about the neighbors, they didn't bother us at all! It was quiet for most of the time!
