The host was responsive from the moment I booked. Easy check-in and easy check-out. It was our first time being in Galveston. We wanted to explore the town, but since we only had one night at the property, we wanted to enjoy the amenities and the ambience of the property.

Excellent Location to Everything! Lots of room and fun things for the kids to do.
Great location with close proximity to the strand and the seawall. We enjoyed our stay and the management of the property was easy to work with and communicated with us often to ensure we had a pleasant stay.
Perfect for a larger group to be together Hosts were easy to communicate with, house was clean and beds were comfortable. Absolutely no issues. Home was exactly as described
Don't let the initial street view fool you. Plenty of space with historic feel. Within 2 blocks of feeling like you are in New Orleans with plenty of options to eat or drink.
Overall had an amazing experience with our stay at the pink door. My children described it as “exquisite taste”, beautiful decor both rustic and modern. Just beautiful. Thank you for having us as your guest!
The location seemed safe. HVAC zoned so it worked fine. Well stocked kitchen. Parking for one car and driveway, otherwise you had to fight for parking on the street. Equipped for babies, with a stair gate and highchair. Only one tv but it suited us.
Our group of 11 stayed at this property the night b4 our cruise. We had 9 adults, a teenager and 1 child. The house took care of all of our needs. Everyone had their own bed and there was plenty of bathroom time for everyone. Great location, within walking distance to just about everything and the cruise port. Only thing that was a small issue was the road noise and sirens. The house is on a corner and apparently near either an ambulance service, police or fire station for we heard sirens several times. Other than that it was a perfect match!
This house was the perfect location for us the night before our Carnival Cruise. We ended up renting a car and it took all of 6 minutes for my dad to drop each group of folks off at the terminal. We even said we wished we booked it for the day we came back.
It was super close to a downtown area with food and live music. We didn't get to go to the pier area while in town but would definitely drive down their if we're ever in Galveston again.
Thank you all again for a wonderful stay!
I think the parking was our only issue. But we made it happen by parking behind the car in the drive. One across from the house.

Liked: Check-in
Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy
The couch was filthy and worn out including the ottoman. We were given one small bath towel and wash rag for the entire stay. The dishwasher was not completely installed…it fell out of the hole when you tried to open it. There was no place to put anything in the bedroom except on the floor. There was a clothes rack but no hangers. The kitchen “island” was a table that was unstable. No place to gather and relax.
The house is great, especially for larger groups. You can't get a better location either. It was the perfect distance for all the popular Galveston attractions. The beds were so comfortable as well, so that's a big plus! It was a bit hot upstairs during the day, but luckily it cooled down at night, so that was okay. We would book this house again!
