Overall great stay. You need to bring hand soap, shower gel, shampoo conditioner, coffee toilet paper, paper towels, dishwasher pods, anything you need as there is not a small hotel size of anything provided as the website says. Has signs in bathroom to use the provided black makeup towel but again, not there. It says turn dishwasher on before you leave but no detergent to wash? Our last night was miserable as the AC must have been controlled offsite. At midnight it kept resetting to 75. Very hot night for us with no sleep. Overall beautiful home. The outdoor trash cans were overflowing with trash from previous stays but We took the dumpsters out to the street upon leaving. Great place to stay due to the pool and house.

Bring your own detergents, extra toilet paper, and noise machines. The top floor is a loft style so you can hear all that goes on downstairs.

I stayed at this house for a long weekend with family. The location is great and within walking distance to the seawall and a 5 minute drive to the Strand. The bedrooms were very nicely decorated and large. The upstairs was was a nice space with a queen bed and 2 twins and a bathroom. The kitchen was nice and large with an enormous refrigerator. It had everything we needed to prepare our meals and plenty of room to seat the 6 of us. The bathrooms were newly updated, and the showers were roomy. The best part was the beautiful private pool in the back yard. It was a perfect place to hang out and relax with the family. The only negative I have are the rental fees. If you are looking to rent this property, pay attention to the fees. They are just as much as the nightly rental price which almost doubled the price. The nightly rate is already a premium price and when you add the fees and taxes it was over $800 a night! The property is beautiful though and it was nice to stay in a historic home in Galveston so close to everything.
