No peace
Nice older house in rundown neighborhood. Extremely loud concert music down the street played for many hours, lots of loud racing cars coming and going, no peace . We were forced to leave had to leave early.

Great distance from beach
I booked this trip very last minute and I was very pleased with the house! A short distance from pleasure pier and restaurants. Cute cozy space. So glad it has a washer and dryer! Definitely will look to book one of these houses for my next visit to Galveston!

Always a pleasure
We love to stay here before our cruises. There is nothing like waking up in the morning, looking down the street and seeing your ship. The shower has amazing water pressure and the beds are comfortable. The owners are amazing and offer additional perks like foods/beverages available for purchase via Venmo. They also don't require a bunch of craziness at checkout...Just empty all the trashes. As a frequent traveler, this is VERY appreciated! I highly recommend!

Perfect little place to stay
The house was clean and exactly as described. You can hear the upstairs neighbors quite easily. And there were no Kleenex. The neighborhood is transitional and was a little sketchy at night. But other than that, everything was perfect.

This was the perfect location for the day before a cruise. When we walked out in the morning, we saw our Cruise ship 0.9 miles down the road at the end of our street. Made navigating to the port incredibly easy! The beds were really comfortable and the water pressure is amazing! Would recommend A+

Rough Neighborhood
The host let us check in a little early which was nice since we had a long drive but was very snippy when giving me instructions as to what time to check in after already telling me through messages, she acted like I didn’t understand. We booked this place because it was within walking distance of our event we were attending. However, I would NOT advise walking through this area. When confirming the location the host described the outside of the house as looking “beat-up” this area still has lots of houses that were affected by the hurricanes which was expected but it looked shabby on the outside. We had to park on the street which didn’t feel safe. To top our evening off there was a altercation close to the house that broke out into gunfire. My girlfriend hit the ground until the gunshots stopped. Several police officers arrived on scene in-front of the house. I took videos and pictures. The house was nice on the inside but the outside and the neighborhood was extremely rough!! Be careful! As a Vrbo host ourselves, I would definitely lower the nightly rate due to the area location. I gave the host an over all four star rating because the crime area is out of her control.
