Visiting the Island

Very nice property in a very convenient location. It is a nice Victorian house that has been renovated. We had a great weekend visiting family. Well apportioned house with all the modern amenities. We highly recommend this place and will return.

Cute, relaxing and quaint.

This house has every appliance and toiletries one could need for a family beach trip. Beds are super comfortable. Short walk to historic downtown Galveston and piers and situated in the middle of many historic society homes. Well lit and safe. House interior is modern beach and comfortable. Great rental!

Marvelous Mardi Gras!

This beautiful historic home was ideal for a Mardi Gras weekend! We had seven adults, so the bedrooms were the perfect configuration. We walked to the beach in the mornings and walked to the strand in the evenings. Could not get a better location! Communication was excellent, house was clean and comfortable, and beds were amazing! Highly recommended (except for Mardi Gras... that's for my family!! LOL)

Very Dirty House/ I had to rate cleanliness 1 star to process this review . It’s really a zero.

Front porch tables/chairs were dirty. All 3 upstairs bedrooms had mold on vent and ceiling. Used bar of soap left in shower. Used bottle of mouth wash left out. Towels were old and had hair in them. Left over dog hair and dust throughout the house. Bug dropping in kitchen drawer. Workman left screws and dirt on bedroom floor and bed linen .we left 2 days early . Breathing in mold was not my idea of a weekend getaway . Very Disappointed.
