    I'll start with the good. Location was great for the large house close to the seawall with great parking area behind the house. The house was clean and well stocked with soaps, shampoo, bath towels and wash cloths but could use more hand towels. Kitchen was very well stocked with pots, pans, and utensils in the 4 kitchens but no toaster anywhere. Small coffee pot in each kitchen and 1 Keurig.The issues causing the fewer stars were communicated to our host during our stay. One of the sofa sleepers was broken and unusable. Listing had apparently been updated after we booked for this but not communicated to us. Also, there were linens for the sleeper sofas, but no blankets. Maintenance issues were peeling porcelain in the tubs and an upstairs kitchen window that was leaking badly in the storm. Judging by the kitchen floor, this leak was not new. Communication was good with the host although it did not result in any improvements during our stay like extra blankets. I used their app as suggested for the house information which was good, but still have no clue what the 200 Free Activities Daily in their listing title refers to. We enjoyed our stay but it definitely could have been better.

    We all loved this place. Our large group occupied the full house but setup as possibly 3 smaller units. Everyone having their own space was good except when wanted to be together no place indoors for us to gather. Walking distance to the beach, restaurants, pleasure pier and more.

    The stay was great, the tubs were chipping paint, could’ve used more kitchen supplies for cooking. More towels

    The 4 units worked so well for our large group! We chaperoned 11 High School Seniors on a Galveston trip. Having our own unit allowed us to have privacy from all the teens, while also giving them the space to feel like we weren't always in their business. They loved the game room and also enjoyed having a kitchen in each unit. The location is so close to the Seawall and the Pleasure Pier! The property manager was easy to contact and replied immediately. We would definitely book again!

    Locking the door is little hard with the digital lock system. Shower in the kitchen bathroom is very slow.

    This was an incredible property with tons of history and a very unique layout. It is basically 4 self-contained units all under one roof and built in 1901. We had so much fun researching the history on the home and loved the privacy that each unit provided. We will definitely book this property again!!!

    We stayed at this location for the Lone Star Rally. We had 9 adults staying at the house. There was plenty of room for everyone to have privacy and enough bathrooms that nobody had to wait for a restroom. The only hiccup was a stain on one of the sheets. I contacted the property manager and it was taken care of immediately. We will definitely look for this house to rent again on our next trip.

    My family and i , planned a last minute trip for a weekend to galveston , thankfully we found this house and IT WAS PERFECT. This house had everything we needed and more. We got there a few hours early but the host was super helpful and they helped us find a solution. The host was super nice and responds winthin minutes if you have any questions, which is awesome. I definately recommend this house if you have a big family, it’s comfortable and fun.

    A few families from our soccer team stayed for a beach tournament. There were plenty of beds and with 4 kitchens each family was able to have one. We walked to Fish Tales for dinner and the pier. Great location! The property manager was very helpful and quickly answered my questions. Definitely recommend
