Galveston getaway
My husband and i, along with friends, went to Galveston to celebrate our anniversary and play golf. We found this listing on VRBO and it sounded perfect. Thankfully it was! Right at the end of the Strand it was quiet and peaceful but within walking distance to shopping and restaurants. The home was beautifully decorated and had all the amenities we needed. The deck overlooking the street was a great place to relax in the evening. The Italian restaurant a block down was our second best find of the trip. We'll definitely be back.

Awesome place!
We were blown away by this cute, cozy loft and all we could say was WOW! It is perfectly decorated and the kitchen is fully furnished with almost anything you will need. The beds are comfy, the bathrooms clean and the balcony is a nice place to sit and relax with a glass of wine. The large pull in garage was even big enough for a crew cab pickup! We will definitely try to stay again.

Perfect stay and play before cruising
The place was top notch. King beds were nice and cozy. Bathroom plenty big and shower was perfect. The huge kitchen was very modern with huge island. Living was comfortable to watch the games. The outside second floor deck over looking the street view was so nice. This is a three story condo with a secondary King bed and bathroom on the second floor and then on the third main floor is the main bedroom (King) and main bathroom. This is where the kitchen, living room and outside deck is also located. Be aware of the two levels of stairs. The only thing that was a little hard to figure out was the locking of the front door when you were already inside. It would be nice to have an old school dead bolt to lock from the inside to make sure it was secured. The town is literally right outside the door. Resultants, Bars and attractions all easy to get to.

Halloween on the strand
This place was amazing and really good for two couples wanting to spend time on the strand during any festival. Great location at the beginning of the parades wonderful host even left us a bottle of wine, which was yummy. We loved it so much. We booked again in February for Mardi Gras. An amazing bonus was the beds were very comfortable, which is not something you typically get in a rental

Great location!
The location was awesome. We were able to walk everywhere we needed to go. It was so nice having the garage and having a place to park. The loft was comfortable and had everything we needed. The second bedroom was on the lower floor separate from the main floor which would be nice. We were only two so we didn't need the extra bedroom but would be great for a family with older kids or two couples. The owner was very responsive and we were even able to check in early!
