The house was freezing, specifically downstairs. We turned the heat on as soon as we arrived in the house, and the temperature never went up past 62 degrees. Otherwise, the house was well fit for our group!

The host was responsive from the moment I booked. Easy check-in and easy check-out. It was our first time being in Galveston. We wanted to explore the town, but since we only had one night at the property, we wanted to enjoy the amenities and the ambience of the property.

Great location

The house is great, especially for larger groups. You can't get a better location either. It was the perfect distance for all the popular Galveston attractions. The beds were so comfortable as well, so that's a big plus! It was a bit hot upstairs during the day, but luckily it cooled down at night, so that was okay. We would book this house again!
