The house is very comfortable, clean and spacious enough for 8+ people. Owners of the property are very accommodating and friendly in communication. Location's drawback: no public transportation (or anything else: stores, restaurants, etc.) in the radius of < 15 minutes of walk and Galveston's summer weather makes the walking hardly desirable activity.

You can tell they put money in to update, but it's already got some flaws. Guest room with king, ceiling fan wouldn't work. Front door jams and frame coming apart. Location is iffy. You can tell the neighborhood is trying. But I wouldn't have wanted to stay longer than the night we needed.

Property was easy to find. It was very clean and laid out well. We enjoyed the coffee! We were disappointed that we couldn’t find the TV remote. But all in all, it’s a great place. Very close to the port terminal.

Great place to stay prior to your cruise!

The house was very close to the terminals, restaurants and the beach! It was clean and the pictures looks just like it does in person. They had items available that I didn't realize I would need (coffee & creamer) which was great! Dante recommended several restaurants and we chose one. It was just several blocks away and right on the beach. The food was great and fast.

What a wonderful stay. From traveling to arrive and during our stay, Dante was easy to communicate and on top of questions. We were able to drop our luggage off a little early and went out to explore. On our return the property was clean and cool. Close to the Strand and cruise port but easy enough to drive to the beach and Walmart as well. We would definitely be willing to stay again if we are back in Galveston. Thank you Dante for a great pre-cruise rental.

Great price, Convenient Location

Owner is very responsive and friendly. The open floor plan made it easy to sit down and relax a bit before our cruise. The location was very convenient for hitting a few stores and an ATM nearby before we departed. We'd stay here again!

Area

Be sure to check the area before booking, family with two grandkids age 5 and I felt very uncomfortable being in the area, never got out of the truck, could not even turn into the very small drive and was on a single lane side street with only one way in and out.
