Disappointed
Rented this place for a Mardi Gras weekend.cute little space and very clean. Never could get a working password for the WiFi. Also they tell you to park anywhere on the street, but we woke up Sunday morning to a parking ticket. Just paid the City of Galveston 30.00 4.95 fee to park on the street. Host was quick to respond but never resolved our issues.City of Galveston also charges 26.00 per person to get into the strand where food and vendors and most parade routes are..
