This was our second time in this fantastic property! We enjoyed the location and the spacious accommodations! We will continue to look for this listing every time we come to Galveston for our cruises. Best part is, you can stand on the balcony and watch the cruise ships come in! So fun!

The place was in the center of the historic strand. Walking distance to many restaurants, bars, and shops. The beds were all very comfortable, the cooling system worked great. Plenty of towels and wash cloths. It was very clean and we didn’t need anything extra. Walking distance to Starbucks. Perfect location. We would stay again.

A great place to stay on The Strand. Cool historic building. Central/ walkable location. The patio is huge and accessible on 2 side of the building. Great views—lots of Maritime action. Prime spot during any parade or event on the strand. Road noise is a little loud from harborside drive at early morning hours. I would certainly stay here again.

We loved our stay! The location was amazing (couldn’t have been any better) and the space was great. It was super clean and just as described. Since it is right on the strand and somewhat near the cruise ships I imagine it can get loud at times but we had zero issue with noise. Also the hosts provided ear plugs which was so thoughtful! We also had a special request when we arrived and the hosts were super responsive and accommodating. We loved our time here and would absolutely stay again.

I don’t live far from Galveston and work remote but have to go into our Houston office occasionally. I wanted to get away without having to be too far. I booked this place and it met all expectations. It was decorated super cute and right on the strand and walkable to the beach and many other places. Even though it was in the strand, I was never bothered by loud noises. The hosts texted me before my stay and during my stay assuring me they were available anytime. I lived my stay and will be coming back soon.

The apartment was conveniently located on the Strand. We walked most places we went which was great. And the provided parking was nearby, easy to access and safe. The apartment was clean and well furnished. The large windows in the living room made the space bright and it was fun to watch the cruise ships in the harbor. Less fun was the noise - the ships’ horns and announcements were quite loud but only periodic; the traffic on Harborside was noisy in the early mornings. These were only minor annoyances however. The management company was very communicative, friendly and proactive. Overall we had a very nice stay and recommend this home if you are looking for a historic apartment located right in the thick of the fun.

Great location right on the strand with a view of the street on the front side and view of the cruise ship port on the other side (wrap around porch). Plenty of room and the two bathrooms made it easy for everyone to get ready. The local neighbors were very helpful and friendly as well. Be prepared to walk and carry your luggage/coolers up a LOT of stairs to get into the unit. Parking garage was included with this unit and was easy to find a block away. I would stay here again.

This was our second year in a row to stay here and we will be back again! The new floors were a nice touch! Can’t beat the location. It’s also easier to park across the street from Starbucks and pay the daily rate to avoid walking from the parking garage. It’s worth it!

We enjoyed our stay (a family of 4, two toddlers). The place was clean, spacious, with a lot of sunlight! It is located right on the Stand. The unit itself is located in the back of the building, so you don’t hear the action happening on the Stand. We enjoyed the access to the wrap-around balcony. The host was welcoming and responsive.
