The owners put a lot of effort into making their rental property inviting and very accomodating. Every item from bathing supplies to wine accessories were not only easily accessible. That were organized and labelled as well. The back yard provided a nice additional respite and was very dog friendly. Thank you also for being Texas friendly.

This rental was simply amazing! I was blown away with how well stocked the house was. Location is perfectly situated as it's walking distance to the beach. The backyard was absolutely adorable! The owners were incredibly responsive. I really can't say enough positive things. We will definitely stay again!

My husband and I stayed for a couple of days with our 10 month and 2 medium size dogs. The house was absolutely perfect for us. It had pretty much anything we might need as far as cooking utensils, towels, blankets/bedding, even dog friendly items like bowls and extra poop bags if needed. The backyard was so lovely to hang out in with the dogs in the evening - the party lights are a great touch. We loved the home's location - everything was either a quick walk or drive away. We will definitely be making another family trip to the house next year!

House is a bright and comfortable space. Everything is well labeled and easy to find and well-stocked with convenience items. Check in and check out was super easy! The hosts are very responsive and helpful. Even with 2 adults a 3 teens we had plenty of space to enjoy together time and relax separately.

Could not ask for anything more in a vacation spot. This was steps from the beach and the owners thought of just about every single thing in advance of our arrival. We used every inch of this place and it was perfect for 2 adults and a 10 year old. Owners were super responsive and helpful. We will absolutely stay here again the next time we come to Galveston.

This home is perfect! From the minute you walk in you feel great. It is beautifully decorated, full stocked, great location and only 2 blocks from the beach and The Spot. The owner is super friendly and very helpful. This is our 2nd time staying at home and will always be our go to when in Galveston.

Me, my wife, and two kids (14 & 10) stayed here for a few days. The property was clean, well stocked, and in a great location. We really enjoyed how many things were within walking distance, and any of the other activities we had planned were short drive away.
The house itself was a good size for us considering that we spent a lot of time out and about. Only two bedrooms so one of the kids utilized the pull-out sofa bed.
The one issue we had was the internet/tv service. Typically not a huge factor in deciding where to stay, but with my kids’ internet needs and the College World Series playing on TV, I have to say the internet/tv service was very much sub-par. It’s also not the most user friendly system, and this coming from someone who is extremely technology proficient.
The check-in/check-out process was super easy, and I would definitely go back in the future.

We’ve stayed in many places on the island. This is by far the best! The house is immaculate and stocked with everything imaginable. The hosts have thought of everything. The communication of Ron and Carol is unsurpassed. On top of everything else, the location is prime. Enjoy your time on the porch as it’s the best spot for people watching. Speaking of The Spot, it’s walking distance. Great weekend. Thanks, Ron and Carol!!

Our family truly loved the house, location, amenities, and hosts. The walk to the beach was lovely and the beach items that were available were in excellent condition. Our family loves to cook and the kitchen had every item we could ever need to make big dinners and breakfasts. The Pier is so close that we had an easy walk, and we got to enjoy some awesome local ice cream at Cordray Drug Store. Five stars!!!

This was an awesome old home that was redone and was super comfortable. Enjoyed the backyard by the fireplace. Centrally located so easy to get to the beach and anywhere along the seawall. Would highly recommend checking this place out.

We had a wonderful time! The home is exactly as described and pictured so no surprises. This may be the best stocked rental we have ever stayed at. Communication was excellent and we would love to stay again when we visit next!

This home was perfectly described by the owners. With it's close proximity to the beach and wonderful decorations, we couldn't have asked for more. We enjoyed the front porch for morning coffee and the private backyard for evening grilling and fire. The kitchen had everything you could possibly need and the dining table could easily have sat 8 people comfortably. I would highly recommend this home to anyone going to the Galveston area!

This home is just amazing! My son and I really enjoyed our stay. The flowers and lawn were beaitiful. The back yard was perfect for my 2 little fur babies. This home had everything in it that you could even imagine. If you forgot something, its probably there. The beds were extremely comfortable and the neighborhood was clean, quiet and just a block from the beach. We could even walk to our favorite place for cold beer "The Spot" Carol and Ron were the perfect hosts and let us know of a couple of events that were happening in the area. I most definitely recommend this place, you won't be sorry. I myself will be booking again

A true home away from home experience. This home is fully stocked with everything from towels to snacks and full of charm. It was also spotless. Definitely wish we had more time to enjoy the beautiful backyard! It was nice to have a fenced in area for our dog. Perfect location - A short walk or car ride to the beach and restaurants. Parking is on the street but was no issue at all. We enjoyed our stay and look forward to future vacations at this rental.

Lovely and so close to the beach!
The house was clean and well furnished and the outside areas were lovely and relaxing. The location was ideal with the beach only a block away. We enjoyed our stay immensely!

This property was absolutely amazing. It was clean, stocked, and had the perfect location. Anything you could need was there. It was perfect location to walk to many restaurants and attractions including the beach. We had our pups and the backyard was perfect. We’d go sit outside and enjoy the atmosphere and the dogs would lay in the grass enjoying the sun. The owners are incredibly responsive and provided information before I even had to ask. My wife and I stay at a lot of different properties and by far this one was top notch. When we return to Galveston, this will be our first pick to stay. Thank you Carol and Ron for an awesome house to enjoy our vacation in!

Roomy bungalow - nice layout for our family of 4, bright and cheerful decor, generously-stocked & organized kitchen. Comfortable bedrooms and nicely remodeled bathroom. Hosts were great communicators and very friendly. Back yard space is great but also really enjoyed the front porch (would have loved a front gate so that our dog could've joined us out there). Location is perfect for walking to beach or restaurants - and lots of local resources provided if you need them. Would definitely stay again! Thanks Carol and Ron!

Perfect getaway!
Fantastic house, great location just a couple hundred yards from the beach. You can tell the owners take pride in keeping this place in great shape. Everything was in great condition.
We had one question about not knowing how to work one of the backyard lights. They jumped right on it and helped us. Very responsive.
Well stocked with anything you could possibly need. They had a high chair we used for our son, and they even had lots of kids dishes. Tons of little touches, like having extra toothpaste and toothbrushes in case you forgot yours.
Backyard is great. Fire pit and chairs were awesome. Ambiance from the lights is very nice.
Overall we loved the house and would stay there again. Great hosts!
