Loved this House!

Review Submitted: December 7, 2011 Date of Stay: November 2011
This home was truly incredible; beautifully re-done. It was like stepping back in time! My 17 year old walked in and said, "This house is really cool!!" And it was. The owners did a fantastic job bringing this home back to life. But they have really gone the extra mile, making sure that everything a visitor could need/want is there. You are walking distance from the water and close to all of Galveston's attractions. Every step of the process was easy and the owner does a fantastic job following up and making sure you have what you need. I would highly recommended this home!

Perfect Place!

Review Submitted: October 6, 2011 Date of Stay: September 2011
This home was perfect for my family! I have always wanted to stay in a historical home in Galveston and this was a great experience. The house is filled with antiques yet still very kid friendly. I didn't feel like I constantly needed to guard my one year old. He played throughout the house with the older kids and had lots of fun. The bedrooms were big with comfy beds and lots of room for your bags and clothes. The kitchen has everything you need including condiments for meals and the table fit everyone. The porch was nice too because we sat out there and watched the older kids play at the park across the street. We cant wait until next year when we can come back.

Our family vacation

Review Submitted: August 16, 2011 Date of Stay: August 2011
This home was the perfect home for our family vacation. The warmth and charm reminded me of visiting my grandparents home as a child. The location was perfect-my husband & I enjoyed driving around looking at the homes that have been renovated since hurricane Ike. We were close to the beach as well as to the Strand. Plans are already being made to return during the Christmas season and we are hoping to return to this same home.

GREAT!!!!

Review Submitted: August 15, 2011 Date of Stay: July 2011
The house was fabulous!!! We really appreciated the "extras" such as the washer and dryer, detergent, boogie boards, beach chairs, exterier hose, etc. You don't find those things in a hotel room. There were 7 of us that went to Galveston and we would have had to get 2 hotel rooms. We all had plenty of space. The bath towels were big and fluffy. The house was spotless. If we vacation in Glaveston again, we will definitely book this house and recommend it to others.
