Great Little Spot

My new go-to in Galveston! Clean & comfortable, only negative - unable to get the fishing lights on the pier to work. Regardless, would stay here again.

We'd been advised that the bay side was better place to stay if the beach wasn't of primary interest. We were very pleased with the little house on the bay. It was well cleaned, everything worked as it should and we had absolutely no negative issues during our stay. We will check its availability on our next trip.

Family trip

This is my favorite vacation house, clean, really nice and a great location. Close to everything, good coffee shop & restaurant within walking distance. They have made numerous improvements since last time I visited, making this visit even more enjoyable. New floors, updated bathrooms, new ceiling fans & blinds throughout the house. Has all you need to cook your meals there, plus they have added a grill downstairs to cook your burgers and/or steaks. The washer/dryer is convenient and they leave soap Pods for you to use. Fishing from the pier day and night is so much fun, you catch all kinds of fish and it has water on the pier as well to clean your fish. During the day, dolphins feed by the pier. Bring bug spray, because mosquitoes can get bad in the afternoon & night.

They Canceled

I would have loved to stay in this house which I looked for forever when planning my family fishing trip. I booked it in MAY, three months in advance and four days before my check in I get a call from Vacasa saying its not available because they are redoing the floors. Y'all had three months to get that done. Thanks for ruining my vacation. three
