As a courtesy to our neighbors, we cannot allow prom parties, graduation parties, or young spring breakers. You must be 25 years of age to reserve the home. To decrease litter on the beach and protect marine life, the City of Galveston has implemented a City Ordinance (No 19-017 Secs 8-27) that states all items left on the beach after sunset will be discarded. The Galveston Park Board strictly enforces the ordinance. Winter Guests are most welcome.

We came to visit our son at A&M Galveston for the Family Weekend. This house was perfect for us!! The decor and character of the house was absolutely charming. We loved the spaciousness which allowed all of us to just relax and recharge - which was perfect for our Sea Aggie. The kitchen allowed room for 3 of us to prepare different courses of our meal while the others played games in the living room. Two other family members were in town as well (staying elsewhere) and came over to join us for dinner. All 8 of us sat outside comfortably with the pool in the background. That was an extra touch of calmness to round out our stay. We will definitely recommend this property.

The house is clean and well laid out. The pool is nice and a great way to relax each day. The patio is a great relaxing space.
The neighborhood was quiet and convenient to everything on the island. We would stay here again.

We had a nice stay in Galveston. The house was fine. Only issue was that, due to the recent drought conditions there were some ants in the house. They were promptly addressed after we contacted the manager and weren't an issue after that.
The house is cute and not too far from the beach.

If you’re looking for a nice pool and a hot shower then this is the place. If you’re looking for a good location this is not it. Terrible neighborhood with barking dogs, grouchy neighbors and just overall sketchy. If you’re looking for a clean home this is not it. Ants everywhere!!! Especially in the kitchen. Couldn’t prepare food without fighting the ants. Also found them in one bed. If you’re looking for a host that cares you’re having a terrible experience this is not it. Besides the ants the house was not clean and smelled musty. We arrived home at midnight only to have the passcode not work. Oh and it’s too hot in Texas to not have an air conditioner that cools effectively. I’ve stayed at many VRBO locations and this is the only one I wouldn’t recommend or reserve again.

The house is absolutely adorable and well equipped. The pool was very nice and relaxing. The water was (of course) nice and warm (in August). The beach is only a few blocks away and a nice little walk. Even though property manager was out of state, he still responded to my inquiries. I would definitely stay here again!!

This trip was a quick getaway, we usually stay in a beach house on the beach. For a last minute booking, this house was great. The beach was not far, quick ride to the strand and the Seawall. The pool was relaxing and nice! The house was updated, beds were comfortable, and everything we needed was available. The only downside was the very narrow drive way, our big SUV was a tricky spot to park.

We can’t say enough about Debbie and this property. It was everything advertised and more. The evening we got there the AC went out, but Debbie had someone there within hours and it was replaced the next day. My kids enjoyed the pool every day and we had all the amenities we needed. We will definitely be staying again.

Really enjoyed this place. Pool and house were clean, water pressure was great, they supply just about everything you minus the food. Great place if you’re looking to just throw your suit in a bag and go!

I had no problems renting this property. The house is just as pictured, well kept. The property owner was very responsive to our needs. The kids loved the pool and we walked to the beach. It was a great experience grilling and chilling by the pool. It was just right for us. We were very comfortable and look forward to renting again this summer.

The back of the house is fabulous! We lived in the back - either on the deck, in the pool or on the swing and lounge chairs. the ONLY issue I had with the back was a lack of any grass for a dog walk. It would be easy to lay grass along the fence in the back just so the dog would have had a place to walk. Instead I had to walk her out front and along the streets. The location of the house is OK but very lacking in sidewalks and lots of other dogs in yards so the walks were always chaos.
Inside the furniture is dated and worn. The baths are nice and the space and layout is great. We did have a MAJOR issue with ants the entire time of our stay. They were in the kitchen, in the bathrooms, in the living room, etc. We have a dog so could not spray chemicals but did get a few ant traps and put out where the dog couldn't reach. The kitchen appliances are good - and the washer/dryer also - but the fridge controls were set so low everything in the fridge froze ... and the controls were locked. We also had an issues in the front bedrooms where there was a lack of air flow from the AC and when we opened the vent noticed the filter was completely covered in dust, lint, etc. I swept it - it was that thick - and then vacuumed it before returning it.
Overall the property was very good. The outside space is everything I wanted (save for grass in the fenced yard) and then some. Inside, I think there is a need for basic maintenance, pest intervention, and deep cleaning throughout.

Place was awesome, love the decor and very clean. We truly enjoyed the pool. One thing I would mention is if you park in the driveway to pull straight in. It is very narrow and I tore the rubber on the bottom of my truck. Driveway is better for small cars, large parked on the street. Other than that the place is great and I will be back!
