Great spot to lay our heads before our cruise

We booked this property for 1 night ahead of a cruise and the group adored this house and enjoyed the convenience of walking to dinner and to grab coffee. Some who stayed even walked to the royal caribbean port and actually were able to hoard before those of us who began ordering an uber at the same time time

Night b4 cruise stay

Our group of 11 stayed at this property the night b4 our cruise. We had 9 adults, a teenager and 1 child. The house took care of all of our needs. Everyone had their own bed and there was plenty of bathroom time for everyone. Great location, within walking distance to just about everything and the cruise port. Only thing that was a small issue was the road noise and sirens. The house is on a corner and apparently near either an ambulance service, police or fire station for we heard sirens several times. Other than that it was a perfect match!

Pleasant Stay

The location seemed safe. HVAC zoned so it worked fine. Well stocked kitchen. Parking for one car and driveway, otherwise you had to fight for parking on the street. Equipped for babies, with a stair gate and highchair. Only one tv but it suited us.

The parking was tricky and our code to the door didn’t work. However the owner was very quick to reply and made sure we got in ok. Excellent communication! Previous guests went a little rough on their property unfortunately (some minor fixes needed). But overall everyone had a great time.

Easy Checkin and Ideal Location Pre-Cruise

This house was the perfect location for us the night before our Carnival Cruise. We ended up renting a car and it took all of 6 minutes for my dad to drop each group of folks off at the terminal. We even said we wished we booked it for the day we came back. It was super close to a downtown area with food and live music. We didn't get to go to the pier area while in town but would definitely drive down their if we're ever in Galveston again. Thank you all again for a wonderful stay!
