The street was quiet and the surrounding neighbors were friendly. The home met all or our needs. It was clean, spacious and conveniently located, within easy reach to the beach, the Strand, and restaurants. The surroundings were simply gorgeous on most of the street. The owners left very clear instructions that were easy to follow for check-in and check-out. I would recommend this place in a heartbeat! ##### Betty C.

Such an awesome area to explore and hang out in! Unfortunately it rained and was windy the whole time! but because the house is so awesome we enjoyed staying in and the granddaughter's highlight of their stay was learning how to play shuffleboard! We all had a lot of fun! the area couldn't have been any better. Mimi's home was defiantly comfortable and met our needs. ##### Scott T. Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Trish J.

Nov 27, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Classic Galveston Experience Mimi's House was amazing. The architecture, inside and out, and attention to detail created an impressive and relaxing environment. Light colors, hardwood floors, lots of windows, super comfortable beds and pillows, spacious bathrooms, along with a well-stocked kitchen and washer and dryer all contributed to a great stay. Our family really enjoyed the shuffle board as it quickly became an evening activity. We have stayed at a number of short term rental homes over the years and I can honestly say that Mimi's House is up there with the best of them. ##### Joe E.
