My husband and I stayed here for our first trip to Galveston. We had no idea what to look for, but lucked out with this spot. Super quick walk to the beach, close to a few fun bars, and a 5 minute drive to the Strand. It's nice to have a big backyard too, we relaxed back there a few mornings. The neighborhood is a little mixed, some of the houses look rundown and some don't, so we were a little nervous driving up that this would be a mess, but not at all. Exactly as advertised. Parking requires a pass which is provided, and when we were there in April there were plenty of spots available, just pay attention to the signs. I would definitely recommend this house to another couple or a small family who wants to be close to the action but far enough away to escape the craziness on the Seawall.
