What Guests Are Saying
“N/A”
“This is a great place. To rest and relax. I would highly recommend it..”
“It was a good experience.”
“We had a wonderful and memorable stay at this three-story home in Galveston. Our family of four had plenty of space to relax and enjoy our time together. The house is well equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay, including plenty of beds and the convenience of two kitchens.The small pool was clean and enjoyable. We bought some lounge floats and dive sticks, which made the pool even more fun for the family. The home is also especially convenient if you are traveling with a pet.There are a few areas that could use some updating. Some of the bathroom baseboards are showing their age, the shower head has some hard-water buildup, and the bathrooms could use toilet paper holders. These are relatively minor issues, though, and did not take away from our overall experience.Overall, we found the home comfortable, spacious, and well suited for a family vacation. We had a great time in Galveston and made some wonderful memories. We would definitely consider staying here again.”
