Great place to stay prior to your cruise!

The house was very close to the terminals, restaurants and the beach! It was clean and the pictures looks just like it does in person. They had items available that I didn't realize I would need (coffee & creamer) which was great! Dante recommended several restaurants and we chose one. It was just several blocks away and right on the beach. The food was great and fast.

Property was easy to find. It was very clean and laid out well. We enjoyed the coffee! We were disappointed that we couldn’t find the TV remote. But all in all, it’s a great place. Very close to the port terminal.

What a wonderful stay. From traveling to arrive and during our stay, Dante was easy to communicate and on top of questions. We were able to drop our luggage off a little early and went out to explore. On our return the property was clean and cool. Close to the Strand and cruise port but easy enough to drive to the beach and Walmart as well. We would definitely be willing to stay again if we are back in Galveston. Thank you Dante for a great pre-cruise rental.

Nice home.

Not alot to cook with it that is what you are looking for bit it met all our needs and the manager was very helpful when my niece thought she had left something there. We just stayed overnight for a cruise the next morning and the location was perfect for that

Amazing house

We enjoyed our stay here on Christmas Eve. We sadly only got to stay one day since we had to leave for our cruise. But the house is amazing and perfect for our family. Owners were amazing and answered any questions we had. We will definitely be back again.

You can tell they put money in to update, but it's already got some flaws. Guest room with king, ceiling fan wouldn't work. Front door jams and frame coming apart. Location is iffy. You can tell the neighborhood is trying. But I wouldn't have wanted to stay longer than the night we needed.

Area

Be sure to check the area before booking, family with two grandkids age 5 and I felt very uncomfortable being in the area, never got out of the truck, could not even turn into the very small drive and was on a single lane side street with only one way in and out.

Disliked: Location

run down neighborhood, disappointing supplies

Neighborhood was sketchy. House was partially remodeled and felt barren. Not much in the way of decorating. Very little kitchen supplies. We hade to use an old mixing bowl to make a salad. Condiments were sparse and what there was, were very old. Backyard and front yard were both overtaken with weeds. Would not stay here again.

Great price, Convenient Location

Owner is very responsive and friendly. The open floor plan made it easy to sit down and relax a bit before our cruise. The location was very convenient for hitting a few stores and an ATM nearby before we departed. We'd stay here again!
