We stayed for the month of February, communication with hosts was great during our stay. House was clean, with comfy beds and well stocked kitchen. Quiet neighborhood, close to the beach, and 20 minutes to Galveston. This home exceeded or expectations. Galveston has so much history. We made great memories and highly recommend.

The canal was super fun to fish from and catch crab and other fish. The hosts were easy to communicate with and the house had updated kitchen appliances that were very nice. We enjoyed our time there and would certainly re-book this property again in the future.

Great property. Beach is within 5 min driving distance, spacious outdoor deck, great for fishing. We have a large family and do several extended family trips together. Loved that the rooms had several bunk beds allowing for the kids to all hang out and stay together in a room.

Nice Stay

We enjoyed our stay. The showers did remain extremely cold throughout the duration of our stay and never got warm, and some of the fans in the bedrooms did not work resulting in it being a bit warm at night, but other than that we enjoyed. The host was very communicative.
