There’s also a nice porch in the front for extra space to have that morning coffee.

Galveston stay
The location was great, house was pretty, and the bedrooms were a generous size, and the neighborhood was quiet. Cleanliness could have been better - several clumps of dog hair, primary bedroom should have better lighting (you have to stand on the bed to reach the very short chain on the ceiling fan) and only K-cups of coffee available.

perfect for pup
This was a great choice for our small family and pup. The decor was nice enough but not over fussy. Finishes were pet friendly so that we didn't need to be hyper vigilant about our dog's behavior ( though she's very well behaved. No credit to us. She's a golden retriever.) The beds were very comfortable ( My top priority!). It's an old remolded property that some might think a bit funky. I say "comfortable"! We hope to come again.

Galveston stay
We had a great experience. Only complaint was it took awhile for the air conditioner to cool the house so in the day it would be hot but at night it would feel good. Other than that it was the perfect location and overall a great experience.

Galveston shared property
The neighborhood was quiet and close to attractions. We would not recommend this property for groups of more than two people. The living area and dining area were small. The only lighting in the master bedroom was a ceiling fan and you had to almost stand on the bed to reach the short fan chain. The master bedroom could benefit from more lighting and at least one bedside table. If your party has more than two people, we suggest renting both top units.

Not exactly as listed
Let me start with all the good stuff first. Amazing location and so close to everything! Most of all our restaurants were within 5 minutes of us. We were able to bring our dogs with us which was a huge reason for booking with this location. It was quaint and very clean inside and had normal old house things going on like funnily spaced outlets and no TV in bedrooms which wasn’t a biggy for us. Owners were prompt with any questions I had as well. Now here is the only big issue I had with this listing about the house. It is a TRIPLEX! It is not a house just to yourself. You share the front porch with one neighbor and underneath there is another home type set up awkwardly placed in the ally. We had three different family’s in and out during our stay and with our dogs it was a huge pain to navigate potting them in the shared backyard space especially when our neighbors also had dogs. Also the backyard isn’t accessible from the interior of the home so we would have to leave out the front and go all the way around and past the bottom neighbor to potty our dogs multiple times per day. Past that shock upon arrival I ended up having a great time but would have loved for this listing to have been up front in its setup of the home. For anyone without pets I think it’s a great location! For dog owners looking to rent be aware it’s going to be more chores than if you were to rent a private home.

Galveston Christmas celebration
Took my family to Galveston to celebrate Christmas by the coast. The house was perfect! It was clean, beds were comfortable, neighborhood was nice; location was close to everything we wanted to do. If the weather had cooperated, we would've walked to the local pub - such a cool place. The only reason I did not give 5 stars (and this is my first time not to; I love VRBO rentals) is because we didn't get check in info until after 4pm; we got to town at 3:30 and patiently waited to gain access to the house. We cooked every morning, the kitchen was fully stocked with plenty of pots, pans, baking sheets but no pot holders, trivets and only 2 kitchen towels. Problem was easily solved at Dollar Tree. Considering these are the only things that could've been better, it's not a big issue after the fact. The owner responded to all my messages immediately, so communication was good. I definitely would recommend this house to anyone visiting Galveston and looking for a centrally located rental.

Great experience with first Vrbo stay.
Great communication. Loved having a house to stay at while visiting out of town. It can be pricey with all the fees, but staying in hotels gets old. The manager communicated well. Easy check-in experience. Incredibly comfortable king-size bed. Some minor cosmetic things but to be expected in Galveston with older houses that have been updated. Glad to have been able to take our little dog. Very nice (and new) appliances and electronics to use. The shower and bathroom were really nice! Lots of room for a 2 bedroom!

Clean rental with good location
My family of 5 rented this place for an evening. Overall it was really nice. It had great space and the beds were very comfortable. We did not really use the kitchen- but looked like it has what it needed! The street was quiet and nice - I would not go for a walk at night, but it seemed okay. It was a great location if you like going to East Beach. The property manager was responsive and nice. I have had better experiences with flexibility on check in time and check out time. They are very firm on the check in and check out time, so be out of there by 11am. All in all, I would recommend this place if you want to be close to restaurants and beach. Thing to know- there is only one driveway spot and you may not get to park there. Probably expect street parking.
