Summary: The bikes provided by the host are a must! We easily pedaled to the sea wall and along it to take in the sights and read the benches (history) along the way. We easily pedaled to The Strand, Post Office Street, & Market street, just blocks away, to wander into gift shops, antiques stores, and breweries. The Bishop Palace tour was amazing. Just riding through the neighborhood was such a history lesson. The patio was a welcome sight after riding and the beds were very comfortable. The neighborhood has plenty of little places to eat. Try Skykatz for breakfast. Thank you again!

Summary: We loved our stay and will definitely be returning to this perfect little place again! The decor was lovely, cleanliness top notch, and location was ideal. Everything we needed and more was provided. The kitchen is excellently stocked with everything you need to cook delicious meals and amazing restaurants were so close by, if cooking isn’t your thing. Spotless bathroom with the thoughtful touches of toiletries provided was also much appreciated. Relaxing in the patio area at night with the soft lighting of the lanterns was dreamy and felt very private. The neighborhood was calm and quiet, making us feel right at home. Can’t wait to come back!

Summary: Great little house in the old part of Galveston. We loved the little courtyard. Walkable to the Strand and the Beach. The cottage is small, but we'll laid out, so plenty of room for my wife and me and our two teenagers!

Summary: The house instructions were great. Upon arriving the home was nicer in person than in pictures which says a lot. It is gorgeous inside and out. We have stayed at quite a few homes over the years and this one was the BEST stocked home by far. Comfortable and clean, we can't wait to make staying here a summer family tradition.

Summary: This was our second time to stay in this house. We highly recommend it. It is very clean, feels like home, and a great location. It has all the kitchen appliances, toiletries, washer/dryer and beach gear. I do not have babies in cribs anymore; however, I noticed she had a pack n play that you can use. The master bedroom is very roomy and comfortable and the kids' room can sleep up to 4 kids. This house is located in a lovely neighborhood that we took many walks through. We walked to The Strand almost every night and its about a 2 minute drive to the beach. The host is very responsive and personalizes your stay. She even left a happy birthday banner and cupcakes from a local bakery for our daughter's birthday. If you're thinking about booking this house, just do it, you wont be disappointed.

Summary: After a long drive into a Galveston and a full afternoon at the beach it was a pleasure to drive up to such a cozy place to stay. My siblings and I were very pleased to find such a sweet welcoming home to spend the night in. The Happy House was exactly as advertised! We planned to go back out to explore a bit but the home was just so inviting we stayed in and enjoy a night of movies. So happy we found this little gem in Galveston! Any trip we make out again we are for sure looking to stay here. Thank you for sharing this beautiful home!

Summary: I stayed here with my husband and two kids. This house was a great fit for us. My kids loved having their own beds. We had plenty of space. I really appreciated all the little things that are available at the house so we didn’t have to pack them. Items very helpful to us were the beach gear (towels, wagon, chairs, umbrella, cooler, sand toys, boogie boards), laundry basket, extra ice trays, etc. The house was very clean. It looks just like the pictures. We didn’t need to contact the host much (because we had everything we needed) but she was always quick to respond. We would stay here again!
