This place didn’t disappoint. Everything was exactly as pictured. The place was super clean and welcoming. We will definitely be back sometime. ##### Hailey V. Stayed 1 night in Oct 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Dana H. 14 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Stay on way to cruise Plenty of room. Clean. Felt safe. It’s not a luxury home, but clean and provided a good place for us to stay and get up to go to Galveston for cruise. Best way to describe is eclectic. Easy drive to Galveston, only about 30 minutes away. ##### Dana H. Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Elaine D. 14 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication #### Great House and Good Location We enjoyed the house. It took a while to cool down in the summer heat but by late evening it was very enjoyable. The neighborhood is undergoing major street and drainage upgrades - wish we’d been warned ahead of time. It was disconcerting to drive into a large construction zone. That said - they shut down by 4 pm and it was quiet and peaceful. The neighborhood park is torn up but you could fish there if you wanted. The house is old and has some quirks but is as pictured. Bedrooms 2 and 3 are quite small. Easy to get to Kemah Boardwalk. ##### Elaine D. Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brent J. 5 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Music festival weekend This is a great place to stay for our family. ##### Brent J.
