We enjoyed the time we spent together here, our granddaughter had a great time in the pool and so did we. Lots of room for everyone and easy access to everything. Parking is not an issue just have to remember it is on the street and may not always be close.

The house was perfect! The cleanliness, enough space, HUGE fridge which is lerfect for a family stay for 9 people. Adults and kids loved the pool and we spent a lot of time in it. We also loved the location, so close to the strand and seawall. We thought we'd have trouble parking but we never ran into any issues. Loved this location!

The house was clean and appeared like the listings, the pool was a nice feature and we were within walking distance to the beach. A few things worth noting: there is zero privacy in the home, none of the bed or bathroom doors lock, rooms have open windows above the door. The kitchen door handle broke off during our stay and the property management company was not responsive at all. This meant we had to leave the door wide open if we were in the back or risk being locked out. The showers only went to scalding hot or ice cold, which was incredibly challenging washing kids. We requested help and were only told they’d put in a work order but nothing was ever fixed. Living room TV does not have streaming features which was a bummer. Overall it was an okay stay. We enjoyed our time in Galveston and appreciated how close the house was to everything.
