EXCELLENT CHARACTER HOUSE
The house was even better than described. Lots of character inside the house. The 2 upstairs bedrooms are extremely large with their own bathrooms. The downstairs bedroom also had its own bathroom. Comfortable lounge. Kitchen with plenty of utensils. The garden was a delight to sit outside in the sunshine. Easy to park the car in the driveway. Quiet neighbourhood. Near the seawall, probably about half a mile so walkable for some. Fast and reliable wifi. Would stay here again if returning to Galveston.
David was extremely easy to contact and replied quickly

Beautiful home at Galveston
This is a neat, clean and well designed beach home. We were two families and all of us liked this beautiful house. We had everything we needed in the house from beautiful plates and utensils to Keurig coffee maker and beautiful coffee cups which makes our stay easy and enjoyable. The two bed rooms were great, our kids liked the sleepers downstairs. We definitely would like to stay in this house when we come to Galveston again.

Ckean, nice and neat
Everything was great, the owner was nice a very helpful. The bed were comfy and clean. The home is located near the beach. It was worth the stay!
The beautiful home had everything our group needed and more. The location was perfect for our stay as we explored Seawall & Strand the most. The best part was we could easily contact the owners & communicate with them in a timely manner. That was key for us after some “not so good “ experiences in the past. We hope to come again to this place.

Lovely property!
My family and my brothers family plan a vacation every year and this year we decided to go to Galveston from the Dallas area. We chose this property because it fit our families and was close to everything. Pictures did not do this property justice! It’s a beautiful home.
Communication with owner was fantastic. He set the door code to my preference which made remembering it so much easier. The property was very clean and one of the most stocked properties we’ve ever stayed in! Everything you could ever want with every detail thought out. Living room and furniture was super cozy. Thank you for the fun spring break!
