“Perfect vacation with the whole family. Plenty of space for hanging out or breaking off and having your own little bit of privacy if needed. Came with plenty of amenities and the host is very responsive. We had a blast and made some great memories at the big blue!”

“A great property for a large group going on a cruise. Was extremely clean. Beds were very comfortable. Communication with property owner/property management group was excellent. I highly recommend this property. If we’re in Galveston again I will definitely be looking to make reservations at this property.”

“location seems sketchy but; it was not. The house had enough room for everyone.”

“Great place to stay! The house was clean and had plenty of room. The host was very responsive!”

“Nice house. Very spacious with the two houses back to back. It was great from our large group heading out for a cruise.”

“Wonderful property and even more amazing host!”

“ Beautiful and spacious property inside and out! The detached unit came in handy as well! Owners were very kind and responsive! ”

“We booked this property (both front house & back house) to host a Living Celebration of Life for my momma who was diagnosed with stage 4b terminal cervical cancer. The host/property owner was quick to address any issues we had, which honestly just making them aware of damages we had noticed upon arrival to protect myself from getting any damages charges/fees). The two houses combined was more than plenty enough room for my large group of people. I think all in all we had 27-28. Equal number of kids & adults. The issues we had were very minor. There was not enough dishware/silverware at either house to accommodate each houses total guests like it had claimed in the listing. Other than that I have no real complaints and would definitely book this locations again in the future. Great location, quiet neighborhood and basically central to everything Galveston. The front house sways very noticeably lol, something none of us were prepared for but should have known given the house is on stilts and the first 3 days of our stay was high winds and tons of rain. ”

“Thank you for the great accommodations. Close commute to restaurants and night life. We enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back!”

“Everything was great! There was a bit if a rough ride.”

“Family of 25 going on a cruise. There was plenty of sleeping areas and hang out areas.”

“Great time in Galveston”

“Nice property with plenty of room”

“Great proximity to the port and plenty of room for everyone ”

“I was very impressed with the communication between the owners and us. They responded back to me quickly and solved our issues. Only small things. We really enjoyed all being there together. ”

“We came as a church youth group so perfect to put boys in one and girls in the other. It’s clean and has a great set up. There is not enough dishes for number that can sleep there but we decided to use paper goods. Bunkbed in front house was wobbly but the girls were careful with it and it worked. Overall great place and everyone enjoyed!”

“Muy buen lugar todo estuvo muy bien”

“Everything is good. Thank you”

“We had a great weekend. Had plenty of room for everyone and the host was great. Always available anytime I messaged them about what ever.”

“Note that this is two SEPARATE houses. For some reason, I thought they were connected. We ended up just using the larger house, so we could all be together. We were happy with it. This is a good property for a get-together of multiple parties. There were games, couches, and beds a-plenty. The place was clean and in good condition. The mattresses on the bunk beds were very comfortable. The full sized mattresses upstairs, far less so. Excellent proximity to the cruise line, and lots of other things on the island. The immediate neighborhood was just OK. Overall, recommended, especially for a large party.”

“It was a great experience! This stay felt like home away from home, will book again!”

“Easy parking. Close to UTMB. Quiet area”

“Great place to stay for small and large groups, kids enjoyed a lot staying there. We recommend this place.”

“The house was great it was very nice and clean.”

“Great location in the city with plenty of room to have fun. Easy to work with host.”

“Fantastic stay. We had to move from a different location due to various issues, this place saved our vacation. Host was extremely responsive and helped contribute to a great experience. Would definitely stay again”

“The beds were very spacious and we had plenty of space for group just under 20 people with our college ministry retreat. Much more parking than other rentals in the area which is great for large groups. There were a few things broken/not working like the toilet and sink drain but we made it work. You’ll want to make sure to pack hand soaps and towels to wash your body with as only big towels were supplied.”

“The neighborhood was a little sketchy but we didn’t have any issues while we were there.”

“We had a great time! It was spacious, accommodations were good, and it’s also close to the beach.”

“Everything was really nice. Only issue was the water in all bathrooms was SLOW to drain. The AC in the game room wasn't working. ”

“The property was just as described. We had a total of 20 people that stayed in the house. It was very roomy and convenient for our soccer team who were participating in the Beach Blitz Soccer Tournament over the weekend on East Beach.”

“great house for a big family, if I was to go back to Galveston, this is the place I'll come back to.”

“We had a few hiccups during check with the wrong code being given to us by the host a couple of times. We ended up calling the customer service to get in and finally got in after 30 minutes or so of being outside in scorching heat. There’s barely any space for parking in the driveway with it being a narrow alleyway at the back house and the only access to the garage is to open it manually once you get inside. The covered parking area is accessible from the front house which is where we ended up parking all 6 of our cars. The houses were both clean and well maintained. However, one of the bunk beds was shaky and not usable. Some people from our party ended up sleeping on the floor. We complained of this, but were simply told that they look at everything in the house before giving it to a guest. It seemed like they were insinuating we broke it, which was disappointing. Lastly, we were charged $300 in cleaning fees but still had to wash dishes, empty dishwasher, and take out trash.”
