The house was clean and comfortable. The beds were soooo comfortable. I rarely enjoy beds other than my own, but everyone in our group agreed the beds were awesome. The kitchen had everything we needed. The bathrooms were nice and clean as well, and they had great water pressure and plenty of hot water. The house is one block from the Pleasure Pier and the Seawall. It's in walking distance from some of the best restaurants in Galveston, like Bubba Gumps. Great location all in all.

We stayed at this newly renovated (opened Jan 2023) Airbnb (21 room) spot near UTMB. I believe it use to be a medical office of some sort. The check in process was great, the room was EXACTLY as photographed, clean and well kept. It’s not a hotel so there was no front desk so it felt secluded without actually being secluded, which was nice for us. We only passed two other guests over the entire weekend, so it didn’t feel “fully booked” with noise or people walking in the halls. The water pressure in the shower was better than my own house. The bed is memory foam as well as the pillows. Parking was intimidating at first but quickly realized there was more than needed for all the guests (side street parking) and we could see our vehicle from our room window. There are no keys, no cards, you get a code for the front/main door and a different code for your room entry, so not having to take (and keep up with) a key was nice. We walked to local restaurants, corner store and Stewart Beach Galveston. All-in-all it was a great stay and we’re planning our second trip with our son a few months from now in their two bed suite. Definitely recommend them!!
