The apartment was very cute and comfortable. It was a great place to stay for our family with pets. The location was perfect and convenient to get everywhere. Neighborhood was quiet and all the other guests were very respectful of the quiet hours since you are so close to each other in the yard area.

Definitely recommend this BNB for your next trip to Galveston! Justin & Lindsey are incredible hosts and i can’t say enough great things about the location and amenities. It’s a short drive from the beach and the BNB was spacious, clean, and everything you could need!

Great place to stay in Galveston. Justin was the best! Place was immaculate, quiet & clean. We loved how close everything was. We rode our bikes to the Seawall and the Strand. We would love to stay at this location in the future. Wish we could’ve stayed longer, but had to get back home.

We had a wonderful stay at Justin and Lindsay’s place. It was spotless and in a great location. The outdoor patio was very comfy and a real treat! It has everything you might need to prepare a meal (although we didn’t) with full size appliances. They supplied great recommendations on what to visit and where to eat. Highly recommend!

Justin & Lindsey’s listing is everything you could want and more. As a mom with a 2 year old, the gated area allowed my daughter to play in a safe place. I loved the local community and would stay here again in a heartbeat. Thank you for opening your home!
