Great property and owner was kind enough to let me arrive a little early. Owner has house well supplied and thought of everything. Loved this house so much that I found myself shopping for a little “shotgun” floorplan of my own. It was just me but this would be a great house for a family. I stayed at the Galvez hotel the week before but “Happy House” was 100 times better IMO!!! I am a picky guest… so a 5 star is hard to get from me. My only issue was a little stale odor at first but we gotta keep in mind this is 130 year old house!!! It wasn’t noticeable after the first day. Love this house and will definitely be back!!!

Cute small house located in a nice neighborhood. Easy access to beach and downtown Galveston. Nice outdoor seating area to relax after a long day!

We loved this property and the delightful host was amazing and super responsive to any questions we had. I slept in the green room bed and it was so nice and not a hard mattress! It’s located at a great spot if you want to shoot to the seawall and go to the beach or shoot the opposite way and head to the strand! Thank you for the wonderful stay and all the attentive features! The little touches all around the house are so cute and well thought of.
