Fun Loft Right by the Strand

Great place to stay right off the Strand. Quiet enough for kids at night but just a short walk to join the fun. Game room was a nice touch for the kids (and adults too!)

Overnight Stay before cruise

We decided to stay here overnight to board a carnival cruise the next day. After a long day of traveling, this place was exactly what the family needed. Game room was awesome. Kids loved the bed setup. Super clean and orderly. Great communication. Thank you so much.

Great little spot just off the Strand

Just down the street from the Strand, this is a good option if you are looking for a fun place to stay in Galveston away from the beaches. The games were fun and there is more then enough from for a group of five.

Great time, great location

We had a great time here and the arcade games and foosball table provided were a really neat experience. We had no issues with cleanliness, beds were prepared for us, and the owner was very quick to communicate. The best part - this location is walking distance from The Strand and many restaurants near it. The people we met in the area were very friendly as well. Nearby parking was free for 2 hours, and free between 6:00 p.m. and 9:00 a.m. Overall, this was a enjoyable location with great proximity to places to visit in the area.

Nice little condo.

We chose this place because it did not have stairs and my husband has bed knees. It is totally ground level -yeah. Very quiet area. Parking was not an issue. We parked right in front. Comfortable beds, hot water nice appliances, good tv and VERY clean. We know Galveston so knew how to get around but it is still pretty close to major streets. We walked to Maeco imports to eat one night but drove other places and the beach. Thanks for the visit.

Enjoyed my stay and the property is very nice. Minus one star because they sent me the wrong address and I was so stressed out trying to get into the wrong house with the right code. Took about half an hour and talking to several people (who were very nice) to figure it out. If they haven't fixed it, the correct place is two doors down.

Disappointed

We planned a 4 night stay with 4 adults and 2 children. THE GOOD: the children enjoyed playing the arcade games. Though one of the guns for the terminator shooting game didn’t work but it wasn’t that big of deal. THE BAD: We arrived around 9pm and that’s where we realized there is no designating parking, it’s like downtown parking. We had to go around the building a couple times but finally got a spot.

Underinformative

If the property description and direct emails had more accurately described the architectural design and check-in process, the stay would have been less stressful and more enjoyable. One of the rooms is described as having three beds. That is incorrect because it is actually a triple bunkbed. Nowhere were there instructions on how to check in, which is a multi-step process of entering an access code on to an unidentified lockbox to access your key. It was a failed guessing game until I received assistance from the cleaning staff, who was very helpful. The description also lists the property as two bedrooms. That is inaccurate. It is actually a renovated storefront with partial walls that divide the rooms from the main lounge and kitchen. Since the walls do not reach the ceiling, both rooms can still hear everything going on in the main rooms and are susceptible to the overhead lighting. I do not recommend this property for light sleepers. The design of the property is actually quite innovative and appealing. The kitchen is also well stocked with dishware and cookware. It is the property description that falls short and could affect the quality of your stay if it is not cut out for you.

Great stay, and some useful info

Overall we had a great one night stay prior to our cruise boarding the next morning The location is outstanding, very close to the cruise terminals The kids (ages 6/5) were crazy about the foosball table and arcade games. They loved the 3 level bunkbed Check in was difficult - the door at the listed address is not the correct door to enter the property, it is a local business entrance. Thankfully, although it was 9 PM, when we texted the property manager we heard back right away. The correct door is 3 doors to the right (after other street numbers, follow the VRBO arrow), with a master lock box labeled “Guest” The two bedrooms have open ceilings, so if light/noise is a concern the arrangement isn’t ideal. We turned the lights off and stopped talking when our kids went to bed There is a large step off at bathroom entrance if you have any concerns about mobility/access. I forgot about the step the first time I left the bathroom and stumbled We ran laundry next door after going up a flight of stairs. The machines were free to use (not coin operated). Check out requires you to run the dishwasher, take out all the trash, pile towels in the bathroom. We couldn’t figure out where the trash receptacle was, so that would be useful check out information to have. Street parking is free from 6pm-9am, and then is limited to 2 hour parking between 9am-6pm (so we left before 11am), check out is at 11am in any case. We would stay again!

Don’t expect a good nights sleep

This was not our best VRBO experience. Our family booked this loft for one night prior to catching our cruise ship. PROS: As far as location, it was very convenient. It was right up the street from the cruise port and there were lots of restaurants within walking distance. My children also enjoyed the arcade games. CONS: upon arrival, the check in instructions were very unclear. It just said to put in an access code to the key box, but failed to mention there were multiple key boxes at this address and it needed to be the one labeled “guest”. Made it kind of stressful and didn’t hear back from the host when we messaged them. As far as cleanliness, like another reviewer said, the floors were dirty and the walls/baseboards were too. But the most concerning thing was I couldn’t tell if our bed linens had been washed. The towels smelled clean, but the linens did not. The sheets were paper thin and the “coverlet” was also paper thin. As far as sleep goes, this loft is located on the first floor and all walls/ceiling are, like the linens, paper thin. All night, we could hear the family above us footsteps and they brought their dog so it was running across the floor all night, not to mention woke us up 4 times barking. Then before you leave the checkout instructions ask you to “not leave trash in the loft” but give no explanation as where to dispose of it. This place has a lot of potential and improving the aforementioned items would make it a better experience.

Mold and crappy doors that don’t lock

Would stay again

Overall would stay here again, but some things to note. The place could have been cleaner. Our feet were black when walking without socks. Also the location was pretty loud. Each night we woke from the neighbors around 3am. Lastly leaving a welcome package like a few bottles of water would be appreciated by guests.
