Great weekend getaway

The property was very close to the beach and not too far from Pleasure Pier and the Strand. Great for a weekend getaway. The AC worked VERY well, and we had everything we needed to cook in the kitchen. Beds were very comfortable and we had plenty of room as a small family.

Cute Galveston Cottage

This Galveston cottage is a wonderful getaway. The decor and feel of the place is better than staying at any hotel in the area. We absolutely loved our time there and we will be back.

Restful Beach House

My husband and I enjoyed the well-laid out and nicely appointed beach house. It can be a great place for 2 couples. Both bedrooms had big comfy beds, with 2 separate bathrooms. Short drive to the Strand and other attractions.

Favorite place!

We stay in Galveston frequently and is our new favorite place. The house has that historic charm but with a fantastic remodel. The steampunk touches are awesome, the front room is bathed in morning sun, the porch furniture draws you in for a rest, and the location is great. Total winner.

Beautiful place. We felt so comfortable there. It’s conveniently located. The beds and pillows in the king room were to die for, so much so I just ordered the same pillows on line. The host was very quick to answer our questions. Again beautiful place that we will definitely book again.
