Guests appreciate the spacious and comfortable layout of the property, as well as the quiet neighborhood and great pool, making it an ideal spot for family gatherings. However, attention to maintenance and cleanliness is needed to enhance the overall experience and ensure a more enjoyable stay.

Great location, and very private with great neighbors. Galveston’s best kept secret in my opinion if you’re not looking to be near the commotion of the city, but want to be close to the beach, which in our case Sunny Beach is a 4min drive and also has vehicle access. I will absolutely be coming back, and would recommend to anyone with a big family, as there are 3 floors where everyone can have their own space. Thanks Natalie!

The house was awesome large enough for us all to sleep well at night We highly recommend!

Natalie was very responsive to the few questions we had. The setup was great to accommodate our group.

Good, probably if we have more utensils and some basic groceries like salt, sugar were missing .

This property was just as advertised. Lots of beds and 2 kitchens. There were a few things I ddin't notice when booking...there is no table. If you want to eat as a group or play games, you are out of luck. There are barstools and plenty of counter space. Upstairs bathroom is great for kids, but super small and has no mirror. We had trouble with locking one of the doors, but the owner was very communicative and helped us troubleshoot. Overall it was a nice stay. We were a little disappionted that there was zero flexibility with late check out, but it was just as advertised.
