I booked this trip very last minute and I was very pleased with the house! A short distance from pleasure pier and restaurants. Cute cozy space. So glad it has a washer and dryer! Definitely will look to book one of these houses for my next visit to Galveston!

Always a pleasure
We love to stay here before our cruises. There is nothing like waking up in the morning, looking down the street and seeing your ship. The shower has amazing water pressure and the beds are comfortable. The owners are amazing and offer additional perks like foods/beverages available for purchase via Venmo. They also don't require a bunch of craziness at checkout...Just empty all the trashes. As a frequent traveler, this is VERY appreciated! I highly recommend!
