Great rental home
This house was the perfect place for a long weekend. The house was clean and had everything we needed. The dogs loved the fenced back yard. The covered patio was nice since it rained most of our weekend. The beach is a short walk away and many restaurants are also close by. We will be back again.

Puppies first time to the ocean
The stay was great. A little bit of rain each day but the property was minutes from a privately owned beach which we used with the dog. The property has a cute setup and was perfect for what we needed. I enjoyed the outdoor kitchen and the covered patio where I could read in the mornings as the lite rain fell. We would definitely stay here again.

This home was in an amazing location and so easy to walk or bike anywhere! Each bed was incredibly comfy and the backyard set up was great!! The hose for the dog baths was on when we arrived and we could never figure out how to turn it all the way off. Bikes were so useful! We do wish they weren’t all flat though and 2 bikes brakes didn’t work we found out! Overall, this house was perfect and I’d definitely continue to come back!!!

First family beach trip
Check in process was seamless. The house was cute, well laid out and well furnished. The house is fairly worn since the initial pictures were taken. There are stains on the couch, a rip in the couch cushion, one of the arms of the patio furniture was all torn up, and the grass was fairly long. My husband’s first attempt to hang a towel on the rod in the bathroom resulted in it falling to the floor. There were many paint cans stacked on a shelf in the shed that made it difficult to get out bikes without knocking them over. However, the house itself served our purpose - to be close to the beach. It’s a very short walk, even with toddlers. The outside shower was very handy to get the sand off before going inside. We weren’t able to utilized the outdoor space as you were consumed by mosquitoes as soon as you stepped outside. The beds were super comfortable for everyone and my kids adored the bunks in the hall. I think with some deep cleaning, repairs, and swapping out some worn household items, this place could easily be a 5 again. But you can’t beat the location. Overall, we would stay again next summer.

Amazing Property Close To Beach
We had a fantastic stay at this house in Galveston. The property is just a few blocks from the beach and also close walking to local eateries. We also walked downtown (1mile). The property is amazing. Very clean and modern. The back yard is a great space to eat and relax in the evenings. Would highly recommend and hope to stay here again soon

Ironman Competition
My son competed in his first Ironman this past weekend and having this house helped all of our stress levels! The location made it easy to navigate the island, it was close enough to the beach that we could take a nice walk, and the beds were so comfortable! The backyard was perfect for our dog and we enjoyed using the firepit to relax before the big day!

Wonderful house near the Seawall East
The house was perfect for us! We stayed 3 nights, my husband, I and small dog. The house had everything you would need! All you need to bring is your clothes and toothbrush. The owner is truly into detail and it shows. The beds were very comfortable, linens nice and fluffy, and the kitchen was stocked with everything you need to prepare a meal. The yard was a highlight for my dog. Totally fenced in with no place for him to get out, nice patio and furniture, outdoor kitchen, heaters on the patio, nice landscaping and grass. There was an outdoor shower and even a dog bath! The shed was full of bikes, trikes and wagons. Being seniors, we did not use all of that, but we sure enjoyed everything else. I would definitely rent this house again. Very well kept house and so cute inside!

Great house!
This was a perfect house for our weekend in Galveston for Mardi Gras! We usually stay on the west end but opted to be closer to the festivities. We loved the house itself, very clean and cute and great backyard! It was a super quick walk to the beach and to restaurants/bars. It was a short drive to our friends house where we watched the parades and short drive to the strand! Will stay here again when not staying on the west end!

Not for big families
It's just as listed, closed to beach, it has enough bedding for several people.Nicely arranged, patio is great. However, the house has your regular wear and tear, chairs/stools are stained, furniture scratched, you can definitely tell it's dog friendly from looking at the couches, not very clean. There was a blanket it smelled like dog, not sure if it was meant for people or dog. It has enough beds for a large family:however, ONE shower is not enough for large family. The outside shower helps and it's convenient, but the house next door (2 story house) has a camera directly above the outside shower, even though it seems to be facing the alley, it made it very uncomfortable.

Very clean and good communication
Beds were comfy, walkable to the beach, and host communicated well. There are some tight spaces in this house just FYI. Steep and narrow stairs and downstairs bathroom feels like a broom closet turned into a bathroom but it was well cleaned and we enjoyed our time there (just my spouse and I)

Pet friendly family vacation
This place was so awesome with a great location. We loved that we were able to bring our fur babies with us! There was plenty of beds for all of us (3 adults and 3kids). I only wish there was one more full bath but I do have to say even with everyone taking showers we never did run out of hot water. The backyard was awesome with the outdoor kitchen and plenty of room for the dogs to run around. I loved that it was a 6 foot fenced in backyard so we didn’t have to worry about our dogs getting out. Overall this place was great and we would definitely stay again!

VERY Pet Friendly
We LOVED this place. It was clean and comfy. But the thing we loved most was how truly pet friendly it was. The fence was in excellent condition, so our furry kids couldn't escape. There was no carpet that they might mess up with dirty feet. The sofa was clean and comfy, but had clearly been enjoyed by some pooches and probably a few kiddos. I loved how clean but...lived in...it felt. I didn't feel like I couldn't relax, for fear of messing something up. But I didn't have to look at old, ugly furnishings, in order to be able to relax. The back yard was AMAZING, and it even had a dog bath area - with decor! There was never a problem with parking, although, we DID go in the off season. A lot of stuff was only open on weekends, and we were there during the week. But we still found plenty to do. Honestly, our only complaint was that we couldn't stay longer.
