“The location is convenient and the check in instructions are very clear. Had a great weekend! Thanks so much!”

“This Bnb was great, we stayed for the weekend and everything was clean and came with very clear instructions! Neighborhood was a little noisy but if you don’t mind; this is a great spot!”

“Lots of comfy beds but hard to get to the entrance Positive: The space inside this property was excellent and worked out perfectly for our group of six women. The house was impeccably clean, and well stocked for the most part. The location worked out well for us to drive to the strand, restaurants, stores and the port of Galveston. The beds were very comfortable and the two bathrooms were clean and fully functional. The kitchen had a nice appliances and plenty of service wear for our single night stay. We did not cook here, only snacking. We slept well without noise from outside. The hosts were great communicators. The lockbox provided us easy access to the door key. Negative: Upon arrival there were big trucks parked in the driveway and an overgrown bushy tree and wooden fence that made it difficult to walk past to get to the rear entrance staircase. The street parking was full so we had to park a ways away in front of a house at the end of the block and walk down the street with all our belongings. I worried about leaving my truck so far away. The front balcony seemed unfit to walk on. The house was warm when we arrived and the living room ceiling fan would not work despite our back and forth contact with the host. The bathrooms each had one tiny little soap, no body wash for the showers. Also, with so many beds you would think they would stock each bathroom with more hand towels so everyone didn't have to share just one.”

“We loved the place! The host was super responsive and we walked 10 minutes to get to the downtown shops.”

“Our visit was a last minute trip and they were super friendly and quick to respond to our request for just a one night stay! It was super cute and so much charm! Would love to stay again!”

“Positive: It was a beautiful home Negative: It was not disclosed that it was on the second floor and 2 of the bedrooms were on a 3rd floor”

“This is perfect for one night and the location was so close to the pier but difficult parking and neighbors are not safe if you have young kids”

“Clean Rooms, Great House, Great Location, very accommodating. My only complaint is the onlune listing seemed like we would have the house to ourselves, but the downstairs was rented out to another family. They seemed suprised to see us their too.”

“The AirBNB itself was great! Super close to downtown and the cruise ports. Not the greatest neighborhood though. A great place to crash for the night, but not somewhere I would want to stay an entire week. Would come here again for a cruise with a large group though!”
