We loved the convenience of how close everything was but not being in the center of the chaos on the seawall. The house was cozy & immaculate. We really liked the antique charm! We did have a slight problem getting into the home upon arrival but the host was very quick in contacting us & resolving the issue immediately! This home was also extremely family friendly! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Autumn B. 11 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Host was quick with messages and staying in communication with us.

Would recommend and definitely will stay there again! ##### Autumn B. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Darlene D. 23 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy Disliked: Location #### no privacy the property was clean, but i felt like i was being watched the whole time i was there. we didn't like that there was nothing covering the kitchen windows or bathroom windows. we went brought tacks and used blankets to cover windows. we didn't feel safe or wanted in that area. contact was great with the person renting. the tubs and height is dangerous, if we had, had a elderly person with us, there's no way they could've step in and out the tubs without assistance. they get 5 stars for cleanliness. but need to work on everything else that was mention. ##### Darlene D. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sean J. 24 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy This historic home is fantastic! It was updated and still kept its charm. Everything worked perfectly. No issues with any bed besides my own personal taste. The house is absolutely stunning. The wood just screams history. Especially when your wife loves watching restoring Galveston while in a restored house. I really want to point out the tile ceiling in the master bath that was really well done. Ac works great all fans operational, which is very important in texas coast. The kitchen is huge plenty of space. Tbe only thing we wish improved on would be a history of the house book or information spot. Our stay at this historical beach house was truly unforgettable. The property carries a rare charm—beautifully preserving its history while offering all the comforts of a relaxing coastal retreat. Every detail, from the weathered wood accents to the thoughtfully chosen furnishings, tells a story and adds to the sense of place.What we appreciated most was the balance between authenticity and comfort: modern amenities are seamlessly blended into the historic character, allowing us to feel the spirit of the past without sacrificing convenience. I would absolutely recommend ##### Sean J. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ---
