2 Mi to Beach & Seawall: Quaint Home in Galveston!

Reviews

• 3/5

  Whenever I leave a review I like to list the positives and negatives to give a clear picture.Positives: Property is within walking distance of the Seawall. Enjoyed this because we didn't have to drive & park on a busy weekend. Off-street parking was nice. We appreciated having our vehicle off the roadway. Fun to stay at a home that has some history- It appears the home was built in the 1940's which is pretty cool. The king bed was comfortable. I also appreciated having a Keurig style coffee maker. Frig was large for food storage. Negatives: Home appears to be one the owners have bought and used solely as a money maker. It shows some disrepair, such as a dingy comforter on the bed, disrepair in the bathroom, broken items in the kitchen, and old towels (one of which had a hole in it). Impression is not much pride is taken in the home. The home doesn't have an ice maker (we ended up buying ice). The kitchen is tiny, so cooking was nearly impossible. The trash can lid was not attached and fell to the floor frequently while trying to cook. I would not recommend this home if you plan to cook. There was no outside hose or water spigot. Big problem when you come back from the beach with sand and no way to wash it off. The TV in the living room is old/dark and it's the only one in the house. No porch light so it's very dark when you come/go after dark. No outdoor space except picnic table which is surrounded by ants. House is mostly clean if you don't look too hard.

  The location of this home was amazing for us. Close to the Seawall and restaurant's, and a quick uber to the strand. The beds were very comfortable and the perfect size home for 4 people for a weekend trip. It came equipped with everything we needed. Our only “gripes” were the fridge water and ice machine did not work during our stay but we just purchased some water bottles, the shower shelf’s could use some anchoring and the bedrooms could really use some better blinds that darken the room so you have the choice to not wake up with the sun every morning (spare sheets they had fixed this). None of these things were “deal breakers” for us. The property manager was kind and quick to answer when the door code didn’t work and allowed for an early check in. The neighborhood is quiet which is a bonus too. Plenty of street parking if you have more than one car. We would come back!
