Super spacious, comfy, super cute decor. Great communication with host. Loved it and wouldn’t mind staying again. ##### Linda S. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Larry L. 15 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We own 7 short term rental properties so when we stay in someone's we are always comparing it to ours. Usually we are very disappointed in the supplies, and hominess of the house but not with this one. It was perfect for our family of 16. It is an Historic home but she has done a great job of mixing the original with the modern to make it very updated. It is an easy 2 block walk to the beach. The guest before us had informed her the AC was not working properly. The technician was there when we arrived so we had no problems with that. If we are back in Galveston I hope this home is available. ##### Larry L.
