Adorable house, nicely decorated, and well stocked. Really loved the character of the home - original wood floors and lovely antique glass doorknobs. Nice art and a really great dining room table! Dog friendliness was a HUGE plus and having a fence yard (even a small one) was fabulous. And, having a washer dryer was a bonus!
The not so good: The house right next door is boarded up, neighborhood feels on the edge of feeling a bit dodgy... Although other reviews stated the beds were comfortable, my husband and I did not concur. My hips ached after 2 nights and he had a headache. I like a hard mattress if it's a good one and these did not seem like good ones. Back entrance steps were coated in pigeon dung. Obviously, they have a problem but unfortunately it seems it will need to be part of the regular cleans between guests - steps should be power washed as they are quite gross. And, what is it with the plug in air fresheners??? The house had a fake sweet smell that made me sneeze. We hunted them down and unplugged or removed but it was still in the air.
I probably sound whiny to some - and I almost never write bad reviews but since the other reviews have been glowing, I wanted to bring our two cents to the table.
The price was right but given the above, if we were to return to Galveston, we would skip this house.
