It's a bit more of a drive into Galveston than some other options, but nothing that prevented us from doing what we came to do! The lack of cable TV was a bit of a letdown, especially since a storm knocked out the internet streaming options as well — but the owners were very accommodating in that regard and they compensated us for the inconvenience. They responded to every message that we sent. The only real complaint (and not the owners' fault) is the MOSQUITOS. I thought they were bad back home, but we were not prepared for the size, quantity, and aggression of these insects. The area is low-lying so even the lovely lawn is just a marshy breeding ground. Bring plenty of bug spray!! ##### Alex Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2024 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Austin J. Mar 26, 2025 #### Perfect stay for a weekend getaway, definitely will return! ##### Austin J. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hyatt Place Austin Downtown](https://www.expedia.ca/Austin-Hotels-Hyatt-Place-Austin-Downtown.h5437747.Hotel-Information) > > [Moody Gardens Hotel, Spa and Convention Center](https://www.expedia.ca/Galveston-Hotels-Moody-Gardens-Hotel.h157238.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott Austin](https://www.expedia.ca/Austin-Hotels-JW-Marriott-Austin.h8778760.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Austin](https://www.expedia.ca/Austin-Hotels-Hilton-Austin.h976145.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Austin](https://www.expedia.ca/Austin-Hotels-Fairmont-Austin.h18156638.Hotel-Information) > > [Marriott Marquis Houston](https://www.expedia.ca/Houston-Hotels-Marriott-Marquis-Houston.h14986044.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Hyatt San Antonio River Walk](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Antonio-Hotels-Grand-Hyatt-San-Antonio-River-Walk.h1848212.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Dallas](https://www.expedia.ca/Dallas-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Dallas.h24753.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express & Suites Galveston Beach by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Galveston-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-And-Suites-Galveston-Beach.h39353237.Hotel-Information) > > [Austin Marriott Downtown](https://www.expedia.ca/Austin-Hotels-Austin-Marriott-Downtown.h45866780.Hotel-Information) > > [ Hilton Anatole](https://www.expedia.ca/Dallas-Hotels-Hilton-Anatole.h22945.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Dallas](https://www.expedia.ca/Dallas-Hotels-Fairmont-Dallas.h18280.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Galvez Resort, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Galveston-Hotels-Hotel-Galvez-Spa.h8509.Hotel-Information) > > [The LINE Austin](https://www.expedia.ca/Austin-Hotels-The-LINE-Austin.h23193716.Hotel-Information) > > [Omni Dallas Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Dallas-Hotels-Omni-Dallas-Hotel.h4488581.Hotel-Information) > > [Omni Barton Creek Resort & Spa Austin](https://www.expedia.ca/Austin-Hotels-Omni-Barton-Creek-Resort-Spa.h687230.Hotel-Information) > > [The Woodlands Resort, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.ca/Conroe-Hotels-The-Woodlands-Resort.h25794.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Galveston Island Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Galveston-Hotels-Hilton-Galveston-Island-Resort.h4553.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Van Zandt](https://www.expedia.ca/Austin-Hotels-Hotel-Van-Zandt.h10269315.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Houston/Galleria](https://www.expedia.ca/Houston-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-HoustonGalleria.h10620692.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express & Suites Austin Downtown - University by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Austin-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Suites-Austin-Downtown-University.h12302973.Hotel-Information) > > [Omni Austin Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Austin-Hotels-Omni-Austin-Hotel.h8540.Hotel-Information) > > [The Post Oak Hotel at Uptown Houston](https://www.expedia.ca/Houston-Hotels-The-Post-Oak-Hotel-At-Uptown-Houston.h22340244.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Austin](https://www.expedia.ca/Austin-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Austin.h21746.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Houston Downtown](https://www.expedia.ca/Houston-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Houston.h20005.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Americas-Houston](https://www.expedia.ca/Houston-Hotels-Hilton-Americas-Houston.h976144.Hotel-Information) > > [The Tremont House, Galveston, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Galveston-Hotels-The-Tremont-House.h9121.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Dallas Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Dallas-Hotels-Sheraton-Dallas-Hotel.h43540.Hotel-Information) > > [Harbor House Hotel and Marina at Pier 21](https://www.expedia.ca/Galveston-Hotels-Harbor-House-At-Pier-21.h330270.Hotel-Information)
