This house had cute interior decor and was very clean. It was about a 2 block walk to the beach, so we loved the location. There is a little back porch with a table, great for morning coffee or evening wind down when weather permits. Super comfy beds and window units provided great white noise for sleeping.

Very nice little house, great location!! The only negative (it's a small one) is the window air conditioners in the bedrooms are very noisy when they run. Affected my sleep a bit, but I'm old and grumpy! No regrets with this property!

Casa Azul was great for a weekend getaway for a couple. The home was very clean and had a comfortable couch in the living room and a cozy, comfortable bed in each bedroom. The linens and towels were soft and high quality. The kitchen is a newer remodel and we found it just right for cooking for two. The best part of this house is the location. We walked to breakfast at Millers, dinner at the Hotel Galvez, and walked a bit further (just a mile) to all the shops and restaurants on the Strand. The beach is a 2-minute walk and the Pleasure Pier is within site as soon as you walk to the corner. Parking was easy right in front of the house. All-in-all, a perfect December getaway.

I stayed here for 10 nights and have no major complaints, I was alone the first 5 night and my husband joined me for the rest. Having never been to Galveston, the area seemed a little sketchy but we had no issues. They do not allow any early check in or late check out and there are a lot of gaps and cracks around doors and windows so lots of bugs find their way in. Sleeper sofa was broken, no cable tv, streaming only so can’t watch news or sports. The two beds in rooms were very comfortable. Pots and pans all scratched up teflon so if you want to cook, may consider that…overall a nice vacation spot, I would probably stay there again. Also very loud to sleep so bring ear plugs, it’s right on a main LOUD road. Not a bad review, just an honest one 😉

Cute 2 bedroom 1 bath cottage tastefully decorated and very comfortable. The window units are used to drown out traffic noise at night on 19th street as this is a very busy thoroughfare. The cottage has central air and heat. Beds are very comfortable which for us is a must as that can really ruin a trip. Centrally located within walking distance to the Seawall and many eateries and shops. Local favorites were Bambu for breakfast, The Original Mexican Restaurant for Lunch or Dinner, and Katie’s. Although Millers Seawall is just a short walk away, the food was mediocre at best. This is a great place to stay if you want to be within walking distance to both the Seawall and downtown. The host was very responsive and we enjoyed this little cottage by the sea!

Casa Azul is the perfect place to rest your head after a great day at the beach, or on the Strand, or at the Pleasure Pier or anything else you do in Galveston. It is very clean, well-maintained and in an ideal location. We definitely give a thumbs up for this rental property.

My friend, myself and her two dogs stayed over spring break and had a wonderful time. You can’t beat the location…about one block off the beach and a few additional blocks to the pier. The house is comfortable with adequate air conditioning and has been recently updated. Fenced in yard for dogs and nice patio. We walked all over the near by neighborhoods enjoying the gorgeous houses. Host was easy to communicate with. Would definitely stay again

We loved the little house. The location was great. Nice, quiet, and comfortable. The few issues were the flood lights in the parking lot that shown directly into both bedrooms, the Tv's were confusing , detailed directions in the renters guide would be nice, and control over the a/c-heater. We hit the 40's and then up to the 69's andbthe heat kept running. We ended up having to open all the doors. Everthing else was great.
