Where do I start? Check in information was sent a day before. Access to the property was easy to follow. The property itself is located a couple a blocks from the beach. My husband & I were wowed when we entered. Immaculate, cute decor, written instructions and travel suggestions but we felt so at home! It was all the little details. From the welcome note, variety of coffee/ tea, the earplugs in the nightstands, the delicious cupcake/snacks, the games, the makeup wipes, the toiletries, the emergency flashlight... I mean EVERYTHING was thought of. Walking out to the balcony to have my morning coffee made me feel like it was perfect getaway! Thank you so much Asta!

The room is very well organized. There were a lot of amenities, including multiple charge outlets, a tv with multiple streaming channels, a nice drink and snack selection, water, and soaps. The balcony was also a nice hangout. Beach is a convenient walk away. The host is easy to contact through the app.

Nice place to stay, very clean and has everything you need, even chairs for the beach. It is just a short walk to the beach, souvenir shop and the galveston pier. The host was very courteous, left us a note about things going on in Galveston during our stay, responded to messages quickly. Would definitely stay again.

Our stay was pleasant and our host was readily available with any questions we had. Aside from the cleanliness, we were surprised at the amount of small amenities/supplies that were provided inside and around the property. Those small details are a nice touch. 10/10.
