    The house was really cute and had everything we needed. We had my mother and father in law, my husband and our two daughters and we all stayed comfortable with our own spaces. The laundry in the back was cute too. We spent time on the back porch and made friends with the new neighbors accords the street. We will definitely be back.

    We loved this house! We felt so comfortable. It was close to everything. The labels made finding things a breeze, an assortment of snacks was a nice touch, all the hooks in the bathroom were handy, and there was even a fly swatter on the back porch (which we didn't need). Check in was easy and we had no reason to contact the hosts during our stay. We WILL be back!

    Chris and Kelly were fabulous hosts. The pictures and description of the property accurately show the features of the home. The reservation was quick and seamless. The check-in & check-out information was simple with clear information. It was obvious that an incredible effort was made to ensure guests have all the comforts they would need for a pleasant stay. The home was comfortable, welcoming, refreshing and visually appealing. Everything about the property was filled with thoughtfulness for comfort and ease. The decor and furnishings were lovely and beautiful style. Chris & Kelly clearly have a talent for maintaining a home that is both efficient and well organized; and filled with welcoming warmth and hospitality. It is clear that they care highly for the overall experience their guests will have. Thoughtful notes are placed to give guests tips on the house. The home was decorated lovely for Christmas. There was even a basket of snacks on the counter when we arrived. Kelly & Chris responded quickly to any message I sent with a question or request. Again, having stayed in many vrbo properties, I was really impressed with the thoughtful excellence that was apparent in every detail. Nice yard, comfortable front and back porches. Comfortable beds. Great location. Loved our stay.

    We couldn't have asked for a more amazing property. The house was beautifully decorated & completely stocked with anything you could need. The house is conveniently located to the beach, downtown historic district, and everything else on the island. The entire house is a quiet enjoyable retreat from the hustle of the island. The porch & yard is well kept and we enjoyed watching the lizards scurrying about. Looking forward to future visits to the island and staying at this property.

    The house is super comfortable. The host has thought of everything, so the home as a result is very well appointed. We especially enjoyed sitting in the back porch deck, and to our delight we discovered that the ecosystem that exists in that back yard is super healthy; we know this because of the number of delightful little lizards that live there. They're just a hoot to watch. We really so enjoyed this home. You will too.

    What a wonderful place for our family vacation. Chris and Kelly were excellent hosts. We appreciated the prompt communication and the details they provided to make this an easy stay. The home was very well stocked and labeled for ease of use and well equipped to handle our large family. The space is very comfortable and the beds were a dream. We appreciated the snacks left for us and the beach chairs/toys for us to enjoy as well as the bag of ice for our cooler. Having a separate laundry area was absolutely perfect for having quiet time while others enjoyed their stay. We enjoyed the large back patio both day and night and the very well landscaped yard. All the best attractions are a very close drive and check out was easy and simple. We can not wait to stay again at Home on the Isle!

    The house was fantastic, immaculate, well decorated and peaceful neighborhood. Within a couple of miles of anything we wanted to get to. The hosts were amazing answering any questions posted on VRBO within minutes of asking and were very accommodating of changes related to our stay before we got there. We rented the place because it was dog friendly and at last minute we could not bring our dog and they immediately said the pet fee would be refunded even though it was last minute. When I got to the house they had healthy snacks on the counter, dog treats in a plastic bag in the dog bowl and water bottles and ice already in the refrigerator, I would absolutely go back to this house in the future.

    We came to Galveston, two old friends (in our late seventies) to enjoy a couple of days of fishing. We wanted a place which would allow us to enjoy a couple of after-dinner cigars and cognac on the porch. As it turned out we never did smoke those cigars but it was nice to have had the opportunity to do so. Kelly, our host, has been extremely responsive and accommodating. This is a very comfortable house with lots of amenities.

    Our 42nd anniversary! We decided to visit Galveston. I located Kelly’s darling rental and was thrilled to see the back yard. We bring our dog and want to see what kind of outdoor space he will have. The house was immaculate looked like the ad. Decorated cute but livable especially with a big dog. Everything you could possibly need was there even treats for Nemo. We would highly recommend this rental.

    I cannot say enough wonderful things about this home!! We made a quick “about to head back to school” trip with our two college aged kids and four legged baby. This house was perfect! Centrally located to all the things we wanted to do on the island. Plenty of room for 4 adults. Everything is very well organized and easy to find. The decor has a beachy feel without being overboard. Beds were very comfortable. The backyard was perfect for our dog. The host thought of everything! Even things we didn’t think we needed (like ziplock bags we used for our shell collection). She also provided a handy snack basket for our arrival…and had treats for our dog! Great communication and a welcome book with restaurant selections and activities complete with contact information. Book the Home on the Isle! You will not be disappointed!!
