Although we were initially put off by the 1500 security deposit, we were glad we made the reservation. The home was centrally located to Galveston attractions from the Strand to the Seawall to cruise terminals. It was playfully decorated which we especially enjoyed. Although we did not cook, the kitchen appeared to be well equipped with a nice stock of coffee pods. The bathroom was spacious with both a walk-in shower and a comfy soaking tub. All was in good working order, with fast internet and TVs in the living room and each bedroom. The hosts checked in frequently with good recommendations. And the noon check-out was a much appreciated bonus. We highly recommend this cute bungalow!

As Advertised!!!!
Sometimes on vacation rental descriptions things might be left off or misrepresentative.With this rental everything was as advertised. Great cleanliness,great check in,check out.Did not require the people that are renting the home to do too much.House was everything described and more great experience.Will probably rent again in the future.

Getaway!
Our trip was great! The accommodations were superb! The kitchen had everything that you needed which really was great since we cooked breakfast and dinner at the rental. The pamphlets that were in the home helped us plan our itinerary while we were in Galveston. The front porch was a nice place to enjoy an adult beverage in the evening! We would really rent this property again while visiting Galveston.

We come to Galveston a couple times a year and always use VRBO. We usually stay at a condo in a big building but this was so much better! House is adorable, listing is accurate. Will be looking for this house again for future visits!

Awesome Property
All things considered, the recent hurricane we had an amazing stay at the property. The kids loved their spacious room and the master was great. The owner was super helpful and was very attentive to our needs as they arose. If we're ever back in the area, we will definitely try staying there again!
The house was very nice. The host were helpful. Definitely would stay again.

Perfect VRBO
The house was perfect for our family of 4.
Positives: The kids loved the bunk bed. Each room and the living room of course had its own tv so that really helped apease the kids when each wanted to watch something different. The host had a bucket of beach towels available plus some beach chairs which was awesome for those that may forget to bring that gear. In the kitchen area there was a tower of all kinds of spices, all the pots and pans/kitchen ware were perfect for what we needed for our stay. They also had a gas grill and the grill kit. The coffee maker had an option to do the carafe or single cup of coffee. Everything in The house looked like it was fairly new. The decor was beautiful, i loved the colors outside and the inside the walls were a crisp white clean with pink hues embedded in the couch pillows and beautiful teal colors splashing throughout the house. And little plant decor just gave the house a natural beauty to it. The light fixtures in the bathroom and above the counter stove all just brought an elegance to the house. Elegant, classy, beach-vibes colors with a hint of nature all in one. In the side yard they made a beautiful area to sit and relax outside. We were able to fit our jeep top in the backyard as well. It was a little difficult to lift the jeep top above the gate area because the top was too wide to actually fit through the side door of the gate, but it was doable. Favorite detail was location: right in front of the famous galveston cemetery.
