    The house was super cute and in a great location would’ve been good to have a door on the third bedroom next to the kitchen! Overall, really nice day

    Nice property in a great location for our needs. Quiet street and some great restaurants in walking distance. Very well equipped and cozy! Would have liked more direct communication from the manager before I got on the plane as requested.

    We were most pleased with our stay at Shades of Blue. The house is clean, and our stay was comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked with most everything needed for a “Home away from Home”. The bathroom was clean, although the door handle needed to be wiggled a little to open and close the door…but not a complaint as it is understandable since the house is a little older. The proximity to UTMB was a major plus for us, as we were able to walk to and from to visit/stay with a family member in ICU. Justin was the ABSOLUTE best host. The container of laundry pods was empty, but Justin brought over a refill within an hour of notifying him. We also needed an extension of three days due to our situation at UTMB, but unfortunately Shades of Blue was already booked. Justin was able to assist us with another of their rental properties nearby. We sincerely appreciate Justin accommodating to assist us on short notice. He is the BEST!!! If we return to Galveston (whether on business or pleasure), we will definitely choose Shades of Blue (or another of their properties). We highly recommend Shades of Blue!!

    The house was perfect for what we wanted in a multi-week stay. The owners clearly communicated instructions prior to check in and were responsive with questions throughout the stay. Great location.
