Mardi Gras!

I recently had the pleasure of staying here. We couldn't be happier with our experience! The place was beautifully clean and a well-maintained space. The apartment was exactly as described in the listing, if not better.

Awesome Gem in Great Location

My party was 2 families staying one night before our cruise. The apartment was decorated so cute and it was spacious with plenty of seating, places to sleep and room to move. It was in a great location and the owner was wonderful to communicate with. This will be the first place I look for the next time I need to stay in Galveston.

11 year old birthday getaway

The place was absolutely perfect. One of the smoke alarms started chirping and the property manager was over here within 10 minutes with a ladder to fix the smoke alarm from chirping. The place was clean and walking distance to the beach. We had a fun girls trip celebrating my daughter's 11 year old birthday with a group of her girlfriends from school.

Short Family Galveston Getaway

We do a big family vacation every year. This year only some of us could come. We still had three young children. The host welcomed them and they loved the bunk beds. The home is private but still in a good area. Every bedroom has its own bathroom. Very spacious. One of the stovetop burners didn’t work when we went to cook breakfast, but everything else was great. The host was very helpful and responsive. They even had the house ready early. Wish we could have stayed longer!

Amazing Home

This home is beautiful,spacious and very clean. It looks just like the pictures if not better.It has all amenities that you'll need. The location is perfect. We grilled and had dinner on the rooftop deck and the view is amazing. The price was really reasonable, considering we booked last minute for Memorial day weekend. The check in process was easy and the host is very nice. Just book it trust you will not be disappointed.

Perfect landing

Our friends and my family loved the property. It felt like home, it was close to the beach and port. So much better than getting a hotel. If there is anything negative it would be the steep stairs getting up to the front door. It wasn’t an issue for us (although difficult with large luggage) some guests might find it difficult to climb up.
