There are some small blemishes within some of the furnishings but the other interior designs of the house such as the kitchen and showers overshadow the blemishes. There was 7 of us and there was adequate space. There's even an extra space that could be treated as a bedroom. The distance to the ocean was a plus as it was in walking distance as described. The host was very responsive. All communication was answered quickly. The location of the property was a plus, with adequate parking. Overall, we all enjoyed the property and for the price, we would definitely recommend this property to others and we would definately stay there again! ##### Nate’ S.

Stayed 5 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael & Stephanie F. 2 Oct 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Nice new listing with lots of potential This is a new listing so we took our chances booking it without any reviews. It’s a nicely renovated house in an area that is just OK which is typical for most rentals on the island (one nice house then a run down one next door then another nice house, etc). The front rooms (queen rooms) are a bit noisy. There was a lot of cars going by at night with loud music and there is construction taking place on the street just a few houses away (as of 10/2 and out of the sellers control). The single queen room is right next to the AC unit outside which is a bit noisy when it turns in and off. The house is nicely decorated, the kitchen cabinets could be updated though. The owner is very responsive and easy to work with. The house still needs some work to be a 5 start rental but hopefully the owner will take some of our feedback and co to ie to improve the place. As long as you have the proper expectations when booking this rental then you will be fine. Would be great for two families or a group of friends! ##### Michael & Stephanie F. Stayed 1 night in Oct 2022 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Jerel F. 5 Dec 2022 Liked: Check-in, location Disliked: Cleanliness, communication, listing accuracy #### Filthy sheets, filthy kitchen, clogged shower drain and dishonest owner. It was our family's 6th consecutive year visiting Galveston for my Mother's Bday and this was by far the worst of the rentals. Upon entering, we noticed crumbs on the kitchen counter. With closer inspection, the entire counter was caked with food residue and sticky substances. We took a video to document the dirt and grime that we wiped of the countertop. Next, we took a shower and the water would not drain so that after a minute we were standing in a pool of dirty water. We thought that must be it, that is, until we pulled back the comforter on one of the beds and found yellow and brown stains on the white sheets. They appeared to not have been cleaned at all. There were spray marks as if they attempted to spot clean but never laundered the sheets. There was also makeup residue and hair on the sheets. So, we called the number provided and sent all the pictures and videos. The man said he would refund the cleaning fee, but after one week, nothing showed up in my cc account. We called and text him again; he answered the phone but acted as if he could not hear us. We called back and he did not answer. So, we text and never received a reply. Thus, this negative but very truthful review. Please don't condone this practice by renting this place. ##### Jerel F.
