Great vacay beach house!

We had a great stay at this beach house for our beach vacation for spring break! Quiet neighborhood, great location, loved the house and decor! Love the layout as well. Regine is a fantastic host! We actually ended up staying longer than we planned because our kids were having just so much fun! Definitely recommend.

Great location for anywhere you want to go in Galveston. Boulevard, the strand, the sea wall, 61st street it’s all within reason! The beds were comfortable, backyard was a cute retreat, has all amenities, handicap friendly if needed, one car driveway but parking on the street is accessible. Quiet neighborhood and we have no complaints! Will stay here again!

This was a very cute, clean, and well stocked home. We drove in very late and were excited to see how lit up the property was for our arrival. Getting in was easy. The A/C worked well and beds were comfortable. We were grateful at how stocked the place was. There were more than enough towels and washcloths for 4 people, extra actually. It was a very short trip for us and we didn’t have lots of pre planning time. I forgot coffee but they had packets for all 3 mornings for us. There was even extra detergent to wash our beach towels. The neighborhood is older, but felt safe. The house is higher so it gave an extra feel of security too. Close to everything we needed. The home is exactly like the pictures. I did chat with the owner before the trip and she was very helpful and responded quickly. We would definitely stay here again.

The house was not cleaned prior to us checking in. We had to clean and wash our own sheets before we went to bed the first night as it appeared that they had not been changed from the previous guest stay. There was still dishes on the dishwasher and the cabinets were dirty and had trash in them. The bathroom needed much attention also. I could go on and on about this but let’s say I will not be back. Multiple attempts were made to send pictures to the owner to back up our complaints but was met with resistance. I would highly recommend that the owner go inspect the property herself and see if she would stay in the dirty dusty house. There was no PROFESSIONAL CLEANING DONE and to back up our statements, one of us cleans homes as our profession.
