We had a 1yr old so noise on the strand was a concern but we still needed to be close. This spot was perfect! A few noises from the apartment neighbors who have to walk up stairs but no one was out late or overly noisey. House was well equipped for a short stay. ##### Hannah J.

The location is awesome! I loved every part of our four night stay. The stainless steel appliances are new and work perfectly. We hit the beach daily and walked the strand at night. The arcade games are too cool. This place is located on 25 Street which connects downtown to the seawall. The pleasure pier is located at the end of 25 Street. Fun lots of fun. ##### Marcos Stayed 4 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kelly J.

The spot was convenient in proximity to the cruise terminal and was very close to downtown. We walked to dinner that night and explored a little of the downtown area before we checked in with a cruise. The host was very available for questions and was very helpful. Check in was a little strange trying to find the box with they keys, but not impossible. Would definitely stay again. ##### Kelly J. Stayed 1 night in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Darrell T.

Walking distance to The Strand, the Railroad Museum, Fisherman's Wharf and much more. By car the location gave quick access to Broadway and Seawall. Inside we were comfortable with all the necessities of home with a furnished kitchen, comfy living room, two bedrooms and a game room for family foosball tournaments. We loved the back patio with the firepit, where we made some great memories. Russell was an excellent host and provided great information and responded in good time anytime we had a question. We will be back for sure. ##### Darrell T. Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Evangelina Jul 25, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, communication The property was located downtown Galveston and was quiet. Loved the historical, Industrial design of the building. My only negatives on this property is, the bathroom had black mold above the shower, the entry door needs to be replaced because they were seriously weathered and deteriorated. Pest control is needed because we killed two roaches. ##### Evangelina Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nicci K.

Location was walking distance from The Strand and a short drive to Pleasure Pier and the beach! The only issue for us was the back door It would not open. Maintenance came out to open it but once you lock it, it doesn’t open again. That is my only complaint. We will definitely stay there again. Hopefully the back door will be fixed. ##### Nicci K.

The owner/manager was very quick to respond. It was advertised that soap was provided in the bathroom but it wasn't enough for 2 people, 2 nights. I suggest bring your own. Plenty of towels were provided. The floors needed to be swept but other than that it was clean. The aracade games were so fun! Great location. We will stay here again. ##### Dayna L.

THE GOOD: the children enjoyed playing the arcade games. Though one of the guns for the terminator shooting game didn’t work but it wasn’t that big of deal. THE BAD: We arrived around 9pm and that’s where we realized there is no designating parking, it’s like downtown parking. We had to go around the building a couple times but finally got a spot. ##### Bianca B. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jacqueline S. Apr 13, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location for cruisers We used this location for a quick overnight stay to catch our cruise ship just blocks away. Great location! Kids loved the arcade games. Only issue was the check-in. There are multiple doors so it's kind of confusing it should be clearly labeled to avoid any confusion. I know it is not the fault of the owner but the upstairs neighbors were so loud running back and forth until about midnight. We could not fall asleep until after then because it was loud and annoying. Not sure if it also used as a VRBO or those people live there but just be aware it is a possibility. ##### Jacqueline S.

Sep 30, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, location Disliked: Check-in #### Underinformative If the property description and direct emails had more accurately described the architectural design and check-in process, the stay would have been less stressful and more enjoyable. One of the rooms is described as having three beds. That is incorrect because it is actually a triple bunkbed. Nowhere were there instructions on how to check in, which is a multi-step process of entering an access code on to an unidentified lockbox to access your key. It was a failed guessing game until I received assistance from the cleaning staff, who was very helpful. The description also lists the property as two bedrooms. That is inaccurate. It is actually a renovated storefront with partial walls that divide the rooms from the main lounge and kitchen. Since the walls do not reach the ceiling, both rooms can still hear everything going on in the main rooms and are susceptible to the overhead lighting. I do not recommend this property for light sleepers. The design of the property is actually quite innovative and appealing. The kitchen is also well stocked with dishware and cookware. It is the property description that falls short and could affect the quality of your stay if it is not cut out for you. ##### Cameron G. Stayed 1 night in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Claudia H. Dec 26, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Location in Downtown Galveston We enjoyed our stay. My son really liked the arcade. The location is great, five minutes walk to the Railroad Museum, coffee shops and restaurants. About a ten minutes drive to the Moody Mansion/Children's museum, Bishop's Palace, and the Seawall. And finally about 15 minutes to the Moody Gardens. There is lots to see and do.Great communication with the host, quick response time and provided all information needed.Great Location in Downtown Galveston to walk around.Things to note:The Terminator arcade game doesn't work due to the wiring at the base of the guns which it's exposed and coming apart. The other arcades do work just fine.There are lots of creaks and noises all the time (it's an older building so this can be expected). The front door is hard to open because it sticks on the concrete.You can hear people going up/down the stairs and walking about the unit upstairs You can hear people walking by outside as well.The shower does shows some discoloration on the sealant around the bottom. There isn't a washer/dryer available in the unit.To get to the trash bins, you go out the patio gate and through the second gate (past the other apartments) to the back alley, there you will find the dark green trash bins.Parking: We were able to park right out front.There is a sign that says "2 hour parking 9am to 6pm" but we didn't have an issue, we were out the second day until the evening. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would stay again. ##### Claudia H. Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Melissa H. Jun 29, 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### So close… Pros: This place is really cute, plenty of room for my family, fun arcade games, great location. Parking was not an issue, we parked right at the front door and never had trouble getting a spot. Accessing the unit was easy, the key box was clearly marked. Cons: It fell short on cleanliness. The floors were filthy, food crumbs on the dining table, popcorn on the couch cushions, we couldn’t use the space under the bathroom sink or the hairdryer because there was a thick buildup of dust on the surfaces. However, linens and shower/toilet were clean. Not the owners fault, but the sound coming from the upstairs unit is horrible if you have a bad neighbor during your stay. The first night was fine, we could hear them, but they were quiet by 10pm. 2 nights there was a group that was banging around, partying, cursing, etc until 2am. I’m all for having a good time on vacation, but it was too much when my kids are trying to sleep. 2 mornings before 8am we were awaken by the sound of a saw and hammering and saw a man at the back window. I assume they were doing repairs, but I was startled to walk out the room and see someone in the back patio. If it were cleaner and if it were just my husband and I, I may give it another try in the future. ##### Melissa H. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Denise K. Apr 9, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great stay, and some useful info Overall we had a great one night stay prior to our cruise boarding the next morning The location is outstanding, very close to the cruise terminals The kids (ages 6/5) were crazy about the foosball table and arcade games. They loved the 3 level bunkbed Check in was difficult - the door at the listed address is not the correct door to enter the property, it is a local business entrance. Thankfully, although it was 9 PM, when we texted the property manager we heard back right away. The correct door is 3 doors to the right (after other street numbers, follow the VRBO arrow), with a master lock box labeled “Guest” The two bedrooms have open ceilings, so if light/noise is a concern the arrangement isn’t ideal. We turned the lights off and stopped talking when our kids went to bed There is a large step off at bathroom entrance if you have any concerns about mobility/access. I forgot about the step the first time I left the bathroom and stumbled We ran laundry next door after going up a flight of stairs. The machines were free to use (not coin operated). Check out requires you to run the dishwasher, take out all the trash, pile towels in the bathroom. We couldn’t figure out where the trash receptacle was, so that would be useful check out information to have. Street parking is free from 6pm-9am, and then is limited to 2 hour parking between 9am-6pm (so we left before 11am), check out is at 11am in any case. We would stay again! ##### Denise K. Stayed 1 night in Apr 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Teresa D. Feb 19, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location! Positive notes: great location, close to bars, restaurants & The Strand (walkable). Roomy for the 4 of us. Game room was a hit. Cute decor. King bed mattress very comfortable. Could be improved upon: although the apartment reeked of bleach when we arrived, the floors were not clean (our socks were filthy within a couple hours), the corners of the bathroom also needed some serious attention. Triple bunks mattresses extremely uncomfortable. Was required to remove trash at checkout but there were no trash bins available. Had to call BeachBox Rentals, because the emails I received would not allow me to respond to them, to report the bleach smell and a fire alarm that was constantly beeping. The agent was friendly and did let us know the beeping was from an apartment managed by a different company. It was terribly annoying. The listing said free parking but the check-in email said paid parking only. The listing also said washer/dryer, hair dryer and bikes. The bikes were locked and there was no hair dryer or washer/dryer. Please print out instructions for the A/C units as they were difficult to figure out. Paint the chunks of peeling paint in the bathroom. Vacuum the tufted ottoman’s to remove the small chunks of food. We did have a good time but wouldn’t stay there again unfortunately. ##### Teresa D. Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Brandi M. Apr 14, 2024 Liked: Location Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication #### Don’t expect a good nights sleep This was not our best VRBO experience. Our family booked this loft for one night prior to catching our cruise ship. PROS: As far as location, it was very convenient. It was right up the street from the cruise port and there were lots of restaurants within walking distance. My children also enjoyed the arcade games. CONS: upon arrival, the check in instructions were very unclear. It just said to put in an access code to the key box, but failed to mention there were multiple key boxes at this address and it needed to be the one labeled “guest”. Made it kind of stressful and didn’t hear back from the host when we messaged them. As far as cleanliness, like another reviewer said, the floors were dirty and the walls/baseboards were too. But the most concerning thing was I couldn’t tell if our bed linens had been washed. The towels smelled clean, but the linens did not. The sheets were paper thin and the “coverlet” was also paper thin. As far as sleep goes, this loft is located on the first floor and all walls/ceiling are, like the linens, paper thin. All night, we could hear the family above us footsteps and they brought their dog so it was running across the floor all night, not to mention woke us up 4 times barking. Then before you leave the checkout instructions ask you to “not leave trash in the loft” but give no explanation as where to dispose of it. This place has a lot of potential and improving the aforementioned items would make it a better experience. ##### Brandi M.
