Stayed Aug 14, 2025We had a great stay at 911 Post office st. In Galveston. It was clean and cozy. The arcade game in the kids room really topped it, over all the rest.

Stayed Oct 3, 2024We enjoyed this historic home, located nearly within the UTMB complex. It is close to the beach and the Strand, and we enjoyed walking around the historic homes in the neighborhood. Close to good breakfast spots, although they were both quite crowded, not surprisingly. Went to some great seafood restaurants, including one of the best on the island, Rudy and Paco, where we had a fabulous lunch. Be aware that one of the three bedrooms can only be accessed by going through one of the other two bedrooms, so not totally private. The hosts were very welcoming. Suggest you bring your own coffee! All in all, a good value in an increasingly expensive market, Galveston itself.

Stayed Jul 31, 2024The grass was uncut, producing more mosquitoes and bugs, we had to cancel the cookout. There was construction on the corner. Other than that the home was clean and it did its job.

Stayed Mar 15, 2024My family and I just stayed here for two nights and we loved it! The only issue we had was the couch needed to be updated, and there were issues with the recliners not wanting to go back in. The smartlock to the door wouldnt recognize our code and was confusing to open. But the owners/property managers were quick to respond and help us with the problem. Its close to Seawall and a slew of gift shops and restaurants. 9 out of 10! Would definitely recommend this place to stay.

Stayed Feb 25, 2024This historic home (survivor of the 1900 hurricane) is located near the University. It's within easy walking distance to the historic downtown of Galveston and many fine restaurants, as well as entertainment venues. The home, itself, was well stocked. This is unusual for vacation homes. We only had minimal shopping to do (like certain beverage choices). The coastal seawall is only 15+ minutes away, as is the inner harbor. We didn't have to drive at all. We look forward to booking again!
