Cute and comfy little house. Perfect for what we needed.

My daughter and I went for mother/daughter trip. When we first arrived I thought the area was sketchy. But it ended up being great. Easy access to everything. The house was super clean and very cute theme. We loved our stay and had a great time. Side note is there was an older man that stays outside by his truck a couple of.houses over. As soon as we got there he yelled over to us that he was our security guard and that we were safe there. He was the nicest man and was definitely harmless. He told.us good morning every day and although he never approached us directly he made sure to let us know that he was looking out for us. We couldn't leave without walking over and telling him thank you and good bye. So be sure to say hi to him. But definitely will stay there again if we go back to Galveston.

Place is just a couple minutes drive to the beach and close to the pliers.

It was adequate for what we needed it for, a place to stay a night before our cruise. The location is not great. One of our uber drivers said we were “in the hood” and that was apparent. The place was clean and served its purpose. I reached out to the host to ask if we do a luggage drop without “checking in” until the scheduled time as we took taxis from the Houston airport with all our luggage, and trust me lugging around your luggage in the heat and in this specific location was not ideal. But I never got a response so we had our luggage at a local Mexican restaurant and sat for 2.5 hours. It smelled like the house cleaner smoked marijuana when we got in, the clocks were all incorrect, there was no “extra complimentary items” like toothbrushes, etc like you usually see at an Airbnb if you forgot something. Instead you had to pay 2$ for a toothbrush if you took one. like I said, it served its purpose and it was clean, burly I would certainly never stay there for more than that.
