Spotless bathroom with the thoughtful touches of toiletries provided was also much appreciated. Relaxing in the patio area at night with the soft lighting of the lanterns was dreamy and felt very private. The neighborhood was calm and quiet, making us feel right at home.

We easily pedaled to the sea wall and along it to take in the sights and read the benches (history) along the way. We easily pedaled to The Strand, Post Office Street, & Market street, just blocks away, to wander into gift shops, antiques stores, and breweries. The Bishop Palace tour was amazing. Just riding through the neighborhood was such a history lesson. The patio was a welcome sight after riding and the beds were very comfortable. The neighborhood has plenty of little places to eat. Try Skykatz for breakfast. Thank you again! ##### Becky L. Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### wylie m.

We all had a fantastic time, and the house has everything we could’ve needed! Even being so hot, the outdoor space was such an added bonus. The home is in a beautiful neighborhood close to so much that Galveston has to offer, and we can’t wait to get back and explore even more! ##### Jessica D.

The house upon arrival was clean and just a perfect little house for me, the wife and 2 teenage daughters. Location was just a perfect as it took us 10 minutes or less to get anywhere we wanted to go. ##### Wilbert P. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### tara h.

Instant smile and definitely set the mood for the rest of the stay. The place is exactly as descried and the beds are super comfortable. The outdoor area is a plus. This is a sweet gem hidden in the historic area. ##### tara h.
