The house looks like its been renovated fairly recently. Appliances & most furniture still have the tags & surface protectors. It has a full kitchen, 2 bedroom 1 bathroom & a dining area & a nice little front porch.This place is good for the cost, but I do think it needs a deep clean. There are random clothes in drawers & trash in others. We were asked to put a load of laundry in the dryer during our stay, no big deal but still worth mentioning. The neighborhood, while mostly quiet, is right in the housing authority neighborhood. People speed down the road like crazy & on our second night we heard gunshots twice, about 45 minutes apart. Other than that & the dirty mop bucket left in the kitchen, the stay was great. The AC gets cold, the fridge makes ice, beds are comfy & the location is perfect for going to Galveston or Kemah. This was a good stay for the price for 2 nights.The owner was responsive & fair.

Overall, we had a good experience. The home is older but well-decorated and laid out nicely. The neighborhood felt a bit sketchy at first—the entrance it’s located in a back alley in a more industrial area—but it was quiet and well-kept with no issues during our stay.The home is very close to being perfect but could use more attention to detail. When we arrived, the front porch was cluttered, floors were dirty (we had to sweep), and the stove and fridge/freezer weren’t clean. There was also a glass with dirty tissue left near the TV. The bathroom had several partially used soap and shampoo bottles, which gave it a lived-in feel. There wasn’t a liner in the bathroom, not a problem we used our own.The biggest issue was a surprise visit from a service tech to check the AC. We received a message just 5 minutes before he arrived. This was unprofessional and disruptive—guests shouldn't have to deal with maintenance during a paid stay. That visit should have been arranged before or after our trip, or at least discussed with us in advance. The host acted like it was not a big deal...It is!We followed all the checkout instructions, but it would’ve been nice if the same level of care was taken to prepare the home before we arrived. With a little more cleaning and better communication, this place could be exceptional.

We had a fairly good first jight besides feeling slightly unsafe in the area which was ok, after all we did choose the location however the second day, the ac stopped working and would not cool down the house, saying a wire was not connected properly and received minimum help with no offer of a refund when we chose to leave due to the house being 87 inside.and we received

Nice Home
We really enjoyed our stay! The house was just right for a last minute trip. The host was great and gave detailed instructions on everything. My only complaint is the rental could use a good cleaning. There was alot of human and dog hair through out the home. I have terrible allergies so this made it a little challenging. Everything else was great, comfortable space, quiet neighborhood. I would definitely book again if needed.

Perfectly comfortable!
This little house was perfectly situated to do the activities we had planned. Texas City is quite an interesting place and we explored it. Close to cruise terminal and beaches. Even in December our little girls wanted to walk the beach and yes even got in the water.
House is older and in a quiet neighborhood. Comfy beds and other furniture made the stay pleasant. It is exactly as pictured. Great value!
