The house is beautiful, clean and in close proximity to the beach and local amenities. Would definitely book again, much better than any hotel nearby. Perfect for a getaway!
The house was exactly as advertised. Plenty of room for our party of 19. The only thing that was bothersome, was the house echoed and was kinda noisy with a bunch of teenagers. But it was nice and clean and we enjoyed our stay.
The house is in a great location, walkable every where! Huge rooms, great kitchen and outdoor area. Ten of us had a great stay! Fun game room and pool for all to enjoy! Great host!
The home is very large and can comfortably sleep 22. There were many nice upgrades which made the home feel high-end. The floor in the living room needs some repair but everything else was in good condition. We would definitely stay here again.
We had a group of 15 friends and family leaving for a cruise and were able to all stay together the night before we left. The house was spacious with plenty of room for all us. The pool was nice and refreshing as well. The location was perfect for us as well.
We had a short stay in the house prior to our cruise. Overall, we were pleased. The house was clean, we had plenty of towels and it worked for our group. The only negative is that it's an old house and Galveston was going through a cold spell which made it difficult for the furnace to keep up.
We rented the home to bring extended family together with an elder who “missed her family.” This was the perfect home to grant her that wish as well as provide a great getaway for our family! The children loved the video games and third floor dedicated to them and the adults loved the patio and open floor plan on the main level.
Loved the house! Everything seemed so clean and high quality if that makes sense? We just really had a great time, and made good use of the fire pit/soaker pool in the backyard.
Everything was wonderful and very clean , the only thing i would say is that in some of the restrooms we did not have hot water. But besides that everything was great ..
We enjoyed the house. It was clean and spacious. We had more than enough towels to use. The kitchen needed a few more pans. The pool did not get clean until the day we left. This was disappointing as we booked the rental because the kids love to swim. Overall, beautiful rental.
Our family had a nice stay. The kids loved the pool and there was a ton of space. Our recommendations are as follows: we feel there should be more hooks in bathrooms and rooms for towels and bathingsuits. When we arrived the floors had not been cleaned thoroughly especially the stairs. Other than that, we had a nice stay
After being canceled by the owner of Cannonball Cove last minute, we searched for this property. It was great since the minute we walked in the property. The owner has great communication skills and is always aware of you in case you need something. We had no issues what so ever. My family enjoyed every minute spent there. I totally recommend and I am looking forward to booking again in the future. Definitely worth all the stars and would rate higher if I could. I am spreading the word back home and sending the link for recommendations.

Wasn’t pleased with cleanliness of the home. The bathroom tub was plugged.
This house is very spacious and beautiful inside and out. It’s very centrally located, not far from the beach/seawall or The Strand. The house was not as clean as expected upon arrival (bathrooms were not clean) and it sleeps 23 people but there is not even 1 pot/pan to cook with (glad I brought 2 of my own) and not many cooking utensils . There was everything else you would need in the kitchen. The pool in the backyard was a hit with the kids and the fire pit was also a nice touch. Communication with the owner/manager was great. Would definitely stay here again.
Our group of 15 celebrated an early family Christmas in this beautiful home. We had plenty of room to spread out, the beds were comfortable, and the kitchen was a very generous size to prepare and serve meals for all our crew. The kids, ages 5-13, enjoyed the game room and loft area, and the weather provided one nice night to have a bonfire outside in the nicely provided fire pit. We did bring our own wood. Minor issues included missing key items in the kitchen, (corkscrew, hot pads, oven mits, cookie sheet, and salt and pepper), and some areas (floors and baseboards) that needed some additional cleaning. Overall, for us anyway, the weekend was perfect!
