first of all, I would like to say check in was very easy and instructions were clear emailed to me and we did not have a problem. House was very, very clean and organized. I could tell they had the touch of a woman the way it was decorated. The only problem we had was a three-quarter bath toilet was plugged. We got hold of the connect team and they promptly sent somebody out there to snake it. His name was Dave. He did leave rust rings inside the toilet that will have to be taken off with a pumice stone because they are not going away. The cleaning service does a very good job except for on some of the furniture and appliances. I know there is still some leftover dirt from previous occupants. The property is also in need of extermination, we did not have a problem, but I did notice a few roaches in the kitchen area.

The weather was perfect. the two chairs in the living room were no safe to use, one had a broken leg and the other had a leg that felt like it was going to break. I did reply to the check in text informing the host but never heard back from them. The kitchen was not very well stocked with basic items. The ice maker didn't work. there were several other things that needed attention . All in all we did enjoy our stay.

Perfect for what we needed!

We went to Galveston for the Lone Star Rally. We needed a nice, clean place close…but not too close to the Strand. We wanted convenience without the noise. This was a very clean, nicely decorated home with all the necessities. The neighborhood was quiet and we were respectful of others as well. Plenty of room for two couples as the one bathroom and half bath gave opportunity for toilet use if the shower was being used. We willl be back!

Great little house

Was as advertised, great place to stay for anyone but especially if you have a dog, the back yard much larger then I was expecting, only a couple blocks off of 61st street so easy in and out, they provide much more than we used, in the garage they have chairs for beach, bikes, ice chest and much more, coffee provided and all earning and cooking utensils, I recommend and would stay again

Good family staycation

Since I couldn’t get my money back after hurricane Beryl came through, we figured we might as well go and stay at this house we booked! We had a good time. The home was nice, perfect size for us. Me, husband, 4 yr old and 10 month old. The mosquitoes were horrendous so we didn’t utilize the outside area at all! The backyard patio cover was falling apart anyways, I’m guessing after the storm ….?? The actual house itself was nice, bedding comfy and clean, NO dishwasher! But the laundry appliances were nice and they supplied detergent. Thermostat was a problem! I keep mine at home at 71 and every time I would turn it down, I would look and it would be back up! It was a “smart thermometer” so I’m guessing someone else could control the temp. I wanted to be comfortable… I felt like I was fighting the thermostat lol. Honestly the home was nice and it met our needs overall.

Nice place

We enjoyed our stay. Just a couple of things to improve. The couch was not very comfortable. I would suggest a newer more comfy one to enjoy TV watching. Also, the thermostat was very confusing and difficult to operate. Otherwise it was great. Bedrooms were roomy and the bed was super comfortable. Backyard space was quiet and quite large. Decor was homey and inviting. Location made it easy to enjoy Galveston Home Tour.
