Juneteenth vacation
We enjoyed our stay overall. It was a great location to the places we were going. We had a few questions about the trash, the owner/management didn't respond to us until after we checked out. We would recommend having more than one set of towels for each guest as we stayed for 3 days. Also, put the rules, we were expected to clean the grill after use, but the wasn't a grill brush. We had to buy one and we left it there for future guests. I didn't particularly like that there wasn't a door on the owner's room shower. And the barnyard door going to that bathroom was broken. But overall, were enjoyed our stay and would stay there again if we had a large group again.

Adorable, Spacious House
We loved the house. The bedrooms were comfortable and everything was nice and clean. There are a couple of things that need to be changed. I would put drapes on the windows. As soon as the sun comes up the bedrooms are bright. Some people have no problem sleeping with light, but some wake up and there’s no going back to sleep. Three out of four of us were awake every morning by 6:40 which is a little earlier when you’re on vacation. Please change the Master Bathroom door. It’s a barn style door, which is cute, but it’s not wide enough. That means there are a couple of inches that are open on either side when you close and lock it. (You have to lock it or it will slide open). Everything else was great!

Our New Go-To in Galveston
We found this property to be absolutely perfect for our family. The location was excellent and the layout fitted us as well. The proximity to the Sea Wall and beaches, as well as dining and The Strand made it easy to be lazy! We will be back for sure!

We rented this property for Christmas time to spend with friends, just to relax from the daily day to day routines, and it was so peaceful. The property was beautiful and simple. The neighborhood was quiet. Everything was so clean and organized. I’d definitely book again.

Inside is absolutely gorgeous ,clean and spacious. Would likely book again. I was however disappointed with the yard. It had not been mowed or manicured. Overall a great experience .

Very clean and comfortable.
My family and I loved this unit. Very nice, clean and comfortable. Close to the beach and right off the main street. Found that it really only sleeps 8, not the 10 as advertised unless you have two that like to sleep on a sofa and love seat in the front room and was not happy about the "cleaning fee" charged on a two day stay. Could have used a TV in the "kids" room. We would recommend this unit to anyone. We will stay here for sure next time we are in Galveston and have more time to spend.
