LOVED SHADES OF BLUE
We were most pleased with our stay at Shades of Blue. The house is clean, and our stay was comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked with most everything needed for a “Home away from Home”. The bathroom was clean, although the door handle needed to be wiggled a little to open and close the door…but not a complaint as it is understandable since the house is a little older. The proximity to UTMB was a major plus for us, as we were able to walk to and from to visit/stay with a family member in ICU. Justin was the ABSOLUTE best host. The container of laundry pods was empty, but Justin brought over a refill within an hour of notifying him. We also needed an extension of three days due to our situation at UTMB, but unfortunately Shades of Blue was already booked. Justin was able to assist us with another of their rental properties nearby. We sincerely appreciate Justin accommodating to assist us on short notice. He is the BEST!!! If we return to Galveston (whether on business or pleasure), we will definitely choose Shades of Blue (or another of their properties). We highly recommend Shades of Blue!!

Cozy home in a great location
We were very comfortable here. We especially enjoyed the shady backyard in the morning and late afternoon. It is centrally located in a quiet neighborhood. Three cafes are just a couple of blocks away. The hosts were responsive the one time the internet went down and got back to us within the hour. Otherwise our stay was uneventful.

Exceptional rental
This was the perfect rental. The location was close to UTMB, restaurants and the beach. The house was clean and well stocked. The hosts replied instantly when we had a need. The decor was so cute. The tv had all the apps we would want (Netflix and Peloton for a quick workout). We will definitely stay again. Thank you for sharing your lovely home!

Wonderful house
Wonderful house!! It was so cute, clean, comfortable, and looked exactly like the pictures!! The owners were super nice people and were very helpful in anything we needed! We were so pleased with everything! And it was so nice that we were allowed to have our bigger dog with us! Most places that said they were dog friendly only allowed dogs that were 25 pounds or less. If you bring your dog, please be respectful and clean up after them, I don’t want to loose this accommodation for the next time we stay there. The house is also in the historic part of town and there were so many pretty places around there! It is also close to all the fun things to go do in Galveston!! We had such a great time there! We will definitely rent this house again!! Thank you so much for a great place to stay!
