Perfect Galveston Getaway
What a wonderfully restored, thoughtfully stocked home. Every single person in our family absolutely loved this house. The AC was cold on both floors, the kitchen was outfitted beautifully, and the owners even provided hand soap, toilet paper, and paper towels. Every part of this house was comfortable and beautiful.

Loved it
We loved it. We would stay here again. I felt like I was staying in someone's home instead of a rental. It was very comfortable. The weekend we were there was very windy and overcast so we didn't spend as much time at the beach as we expected but Galveston has plenty of other things to do. All the furniture was comfortable, including the beds. I did see comments about the rooms upstairs being open to each other so I was a little concerned about that but it worked out fine. Each room had a door into the hallway that latched (not locked) and each interior door that connects the rooms doesn't latch but has a door stop to hold the door closed. The description states that two cars will fit in the driveway and being this is Texas and lots of people drive larger vehicles I want to note that my husband's 4door, long bed truck fit snuggly in the driveway with barely enough room to close the gate. Two normal sized cars will fit fine with the gate open. Just something to keep in mind if your party has multiple vehicles especially larger ones. We rented a golf cart and parked that in the driveway with the gate closed and two trucks on the street. Street parking didn't seem to be an issue, we comfortably parked two trucks in front of the house each day and there was room further down the street if we had needed it. We stayed with our adult children and all of them said they would stay there again.

Lovely House
We loved everything about this house! Our bookclub of 5 women enjoyed this lovely house for a recent weekend. Wonderfully decorated to enhance the beachside setting. Beds, pillows, linens were all very comfortable and exceptionally clean. The kitchen provided everything we needed including ziplock bags for leftovers. Enjoyed the wonderful air conditioning, even with the 2-story house, we all stayed cool and comfortable. We enjoyed every part of the house and the side porch was great for early morning coffee while the others slept in. Easy commute to the Strand, Boardwalk, and beach areas. We would like to make this a yearly outing and hope to return next year to enjoy this wonderful, welcoming house.

Amazing experience and great stay!
We had an amazing trip to Galveston and the house was great! We had open communication lines the entire trip and were so happy we were able to stay here. The house was amazing and very much like a home away from home. The location was great and central to many of the different things to do on the island. We all really enjoyed our trip and would definitely rebook in the future for another family vacation. It was a great time and a great experience!

Absolutely wonderful!
This property is absolutely wonderful and made our stay in Galveston just perfect. This beautiful historic home was immaculately clean and beautifully decorated. The kitchen was amazing - I have never stayed at any VRBO where the kitchen was so well stocked! The living/gathering spaces inside and out were comfortable and inviting. We had 7 adults and 2 teenagers and every single one of us loved it and couldn’t stop talking about its beauty and uniqueness in every room. The bathrooms were SO nice and there is even an outdoor shower for prerinsing off the sand from the beach - which is just an easy half-mile walk away. The neighborhood was peaceful and quiet. The owners were very helpful and responsive (more responsive than the management team). I highly recommend this place! We will stay here again!
