The place looked just like the photos. There were some past reviews mentioning a smell, we did notice it but it was not overwhelming, couldn't even smell it most of the time and it did not affect our comfortability. I loved the kitchen, cookware and utensils! The AC worked fantastic. There were no problems with either bathroom, shower or the washer and dryer, all functioned properly. The kids loved their space upstairs. We slept so good on the comfortable beds! This was our first time to Galveston, it is a lovely town, quiet at night. We would love to stay here again and 100% recommend! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3f15369f-daf6-4893-8a7e-f31a9442b9b8-1752288191650.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0974f1be-8921-494e-827d-67d011c16402-1752288191885.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/7bd634cf-13a8-456f-bdca-355107b93add-1752288191194.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/d55a8c73-c4f3-4f83-915a-a804acebe35c-1752288191889.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Carly M.

The yellow house was super cute and we would have enjoyed it if the air was cooling all the rooms well. My only critique would be kitchen items - the property we were moved to didn’t have a toaster and there were 4 kitchens so a toaster is a necessity! There was also no seasonings - salt/pepper at the home we were moved to. All else was great!! ##### Michelle N.

Apparently it had been a while since someone had stayed there so everything was dusty. Couldn’t use the pack porch as it was covered in tree droppings. One of the couches in the living room use to be leather but it has peeled away and continues to flake so we avoided that chair. The main shower has this really nice shower head that you can change water pressure but the knob to do so is missing. Son parked his car in the driveway and we parked in the street. When we got home son had to get special stuff to clean his car cause of the tree droppings. The trees above the driveway are covered in looks like worm silk so that could be the cause. Would we stay there again. Maybe if it was updated. Oh if you park in the street be ready if you leave early and come back to have to find parking as there is a like a daycare across the street. Host was responsive to questions till we complained about the showerhead and couch then they ghosted us. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/64c74434-8c7d-4420-b5fe-aec79e0cdfa6-1754354492333.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Jerry R.

The air conditioning worked perfect, even had to throw a blanket on when the temps changed one evening Overall would definitely stay here on our next trip. ##### tim t. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Amanda A. 28 Apr 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great locations...close to everything The location is perfect for a combination beach and strand vacation. Easy walk to the seawall and the strand / historic district equally close. As other have mentioned there is a school right across the street, but it was not too noisy. The main issue was trying to back out of the driveway during pickup times. Property was clean and well stocked. The beds are too firm for us and some furniture needs to be replaced. Nice backyard space, but there is an empty house next door that is in need of repair. Layout is great for a couple or family. ##### Amanda A.

The air did not work very well. It was 80 outside and the air could barely keep the house at 72. Otherwise the rooms and the house were very nice and the property managers were nice ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Mickey B. 18 Jun 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location #### Miserable No AC for two days and nights 83 degrees inside. Then we were given another house at 10:00 PM at night and had to move all our things and got moved in and to bed at 11:15 PM. I think we should get a two day refund. ##### Mickey B. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### John B. 10 Dec 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Good Not Great This is an older house & and you are hit with the musty smell when you first enter the front door!. The living room furniture is tired - couch is new but one are chair cover is literally falling apart and the other chair is vintage 1970's. The kitchen makeover was nice. The on suite master bath makeover was nice. The AC return for the whole house is in the FLOOR of the master bath floor - OMG, come on man! Clawfoot tub in the other bathroom with no shower. Vacant house next door with windows missing. Preschool across the street makes for lots of traffic in the afternoon - we were blocked out of our driveway twice due to moms parking & blocking to retrieve kids. Would not stay here again! ##### John B. Stayed 5 nights in Dec 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Elsa C., Plano,tx 30 Mar 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location #### Just ok. We come to the island often as this was our home for many years. There were several issues with the home & backyard area. While the owner was promt to respond, there was no rectifying the situation during our stay. Extra charges per dog are not paid upfront. Upon arrival you're messaged to process through iTrips. The fee per pet is more than posted with an additional processing fee that was disclosed on VRBO post but not quantified. Although the property location is exactly where we wanted, we will not return. It's ok and has potential for improvements. ##### Elsa C. Stayed 6 nights in Mar 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### David G. 27 Jul 2023 Liked: Check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Not quite clean, trash overflowing when we arrived I understand the trash may only be picked up once a week, but being welcomed by a giant pile of trash is never a good sign (hint: you can get another cart from the city at no additional cost anywhere in TX). Trash could also be found all around the premises (discarded fast food bags/containers, spent aluminum foil, trashed foldable chairs, you name it). The beds were made, but I doubt the sheets were replaced, unless the cleaning crew purposely dumped a bunch of hair on/in the beds after changing the sheets. Given what was in the pile of trash in front of the house, it looks like the house is rented to people who come to Galveston to party, and maybe their expectations are not that high--if you fall in that category, the house might work for you. If you're a family and have slightly higher expectations, pass. ##### David G.
