Our group had a great time staying here. We were celebrating 3 birthdays and the place was perfect. The host was easy to work with and accommodating. Highly recommend this place.

One of the most comfortable beds I’ve ever slept in! The cottage and garage apartment and charming patio were absolutely perfect for us, our adult son, and our daughter and her fiancé. The nicely appointed kitchen made it easy to accommodate dietary restrictions. Quiet neighborhood was within easy walking or driving distance of everything we wanted to do in Galveston. The hosts have thought of everything. We can’t wait to come back.

The property is really cute with a great vibe. Good place to hang out after arrival and or fishing trip. Host was very easy to get a hold of to ask a couple of questions. Rented for 3 nights but only stayed the 1st and last night. Location is very central to everything we do in Galveston. Would definitely rent again for our next trip.

We came to Galveston for my daughter’s national dance competition. The house is about 2-3 mins from everything you would probably need to go to.
This is excellent for 2 families, the back garage is a separate efficiency apartment.
I loved the ability to bring the dogs, and especially liked the outdoor shower to give them baths after the beach, without dirtying up the house.

This cute little house was perfect for our blended family vacation!! Garage apartment was right out the back door to the house for our kiddos to be able to safely move back and forth between parents. We thoroughly enjoyed hanging out in the backyard hut when we weren’t out enjoying the activities around town. Our family said several times that we would like to book this house every time we come down now! When we needed to get In touch with the host she was very quick to respond and gave her personal number for faster response. We will definitely come back!

Cannot believe this property is rated 10/10. Cabana is very old and dilapidated. Rooftop deck was sloped in middle. Husband and son in law deemed unsafe. Dog feces on deck and astrotruf not secure. Exposed nails and screws on cabana and raised flower beds. Not toddler or young child safe. Floors have unevenuneven surfaces. Clean and beds comfortable. Unable to attach pictures.garage.

Nice house and space. The pull out couch was broken in rhe garage apartment. There were small dead and alive roaches in the garage apartment. Told the owner and she replied that there was roach spray(but there wasnt). There wasn't enough bath towels for the number of people staying. There wasn't enough toilet paper either. Not horrible, but not great.

Beds are super comfy! Has everything stocked with kitchen, bathroom, bedroom essentials that you could possibly need & all you need is your own food!! Julie is very nice & responds quickly! Definitely recommend to anyone who has a family. Only thing I would suggest is a handrails for the stairs going in & out of the house/garage apt. My son is blind & had a difficult time going up & down the steps without assistance. Otherwise everyone loved it!

This was my first time actually booking with Vrbo myself. I must say our stay was very relaxing. House was as pictured. Had one hiccup, but property manager was very nice and addressed issue ASAP. Nothing that made our trip less enjoyable. Back yard was perfect for the little ones or would be nice for adult fun as well. The kids spent most of there day outside in the backyard. Property very well taken care of and clean with everything you need to start a relaxing vacation.
