Great location, Engaging Hosts and Nice unit!
The place was done well and gives walkable access to the beach and restaurants. We've stayed in 3 vrbo's in Galveston and Id say they all have their quiks but this one had the fewest. I appreciated Tony's comment "you paid for cleaning so you dont have to do anything. That was a first for all of our VRBO experiences and I found it refreshng. Everything was clean and in good condition. The beds were comfortable and the place was well furnished. My only negative was that I searched specifically for a whole house rental. This is not that. It has a unit in the basement. I looked back at the ad and I didnt see a mention but I could of missed it. I believe a gathering area is underneath the main bedroom as I was listening to a conversation while lying in bed last night. Still this is a wonderful place and would recommend it.

Holidays at the Beach
Though the Gulf View is only from the front porch, this roomy, nicely decorated house is only a block from the beach and in a nice safe neighborhood. Like most of the old houses in Galveston, there's a flight of stairs to get to the front door that is the tradeoff for having the Gulf of Mexico so close to your door. All in all, this is a really nice place with equally nice owners.

Thanksgiving Getaway
Cottage was clean and fully furnished with everything you need, bring your own food of course. Very good and convenient location for many attractions and shopping. Walked to Saltgrass Steakhouse for supper one evening and a short drive to excellent seafood restaurants. The only downside was the very small and unkept dog run.

Great beach cottage!
A great little beach cottage. Everything that we needed was there. We visited in the off season and the neighborhood was pretty quiet. And we loved being able to walk to the beach or out to dinner. Our only complaint is that there was a pet smell in the main bedroom. I think maybe that rug needed to be replaced or cleaned. Otherwise the cottage was spotless. Thanks so much for a great quick trip before the holidays!

Great home and location
The home was gorgeous! Hardwood floors, historical features, and lovely decorations. Everything was included and there were thoughtful additions such as doggie bowls and leashes. We read and perused the Galveston history and picture books, and we learned things about Galveston we never knew, even though both of us are native Houstonians. Also a great location. Close to beach, Strand, and nightlife. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Great house with short walk to the beach
My wife and I stayed at the house during Mardi Gras and we surprised and pleased to see the outside of the house decorated and o know ng cake on the counter. The house is in a great location with a short walk to the beach and to our favorite bar Longboard. The house was perfect for my wife and I including our two Italian Greyhounds. The owners were easily accessible and provided great support. I would recommend this house for anyone wanting to enjoy Galveston.

Perfect Location
We stayed during the coldest days of December 2022! Like 11 degrees! Tony came over on day 2 our 4 days to check on us and make sure the water had not froze! Excellent service our entire visit. We will definitely come back in the summer, the location is perfect for heading to the beach!! Check in and check out is very easy and this unit is dog friendly! We brought our toy poodle and had no problems at all. There was even dog bowls, poop bags, and leashes available for our use. We were very pleased with our 4 days at this property.

As others have said -- excellent location for beach & all tourist activities. House is clean and well stocked for our stay. No issues but the property managers were easily available if needed. This is the second time we have stayed here, and would definitely stay again on next Galveston trip.

Awesome location and pet friendly!
Awesome location and pet friendly! The managers of this place were incredible. When we booked it originally several months ago we did not know our dog would be on doggie hospice at the time of this trip. Tony came through in a big way for us to help our doggy be super comfy while we were out and about enjoying the beach and city. We were very thankful for his kindness. Location is great and close to lots of eating locations, Murdochs for souvenirs and having parking is definite a plus this close to the Seawall. The Spa at the Grand Galvez is an easy walk from the house.
