Mardi Gras Getaway
My husband and I checked in right at 4 to a clean space. Seemed smaller than pictures but accurate to online pics. Positives: Bed was comfortable, it was clean, tv easy to use, large bathroom. Negatives: light from outside coming in window(we hung a towel over window), shower had almost no cool water, and very small water pressure

Valentine trip
My husband and I came for Valentine’s weekend. Loft was in a good location for walking to the strand, and area restaurants. Loft was clean and comfortable. We did not cook but it is well stocked if u want to. Had a little problem getting key out of lock box. Overall had a great time a would use this loft again.

Perfect for our overnight stay before our cruise.
Our less than 5 rating is a reflection of: 1. getting errors in the VRBO app & email links when trying to contact BeachBox and 2. Electrical outlet only at the kitchen and bathroom counters and 3. Issue one key on the keypad to enter the building.

It’s a cute place. Lots of stairs to get up to the loft. It was just me and my adult daughter. We had a great time. Walking distance to the strand. I would stay here again if the need arises.

The stay was great but....
It was great but not advisable for senior citizens. To get to the apartment we had to go straight up a flight of 20 stairs. It was hard for two ladies in their 70s to get their luggage up and down the stairs, otherwise everything was great with the place. Street parking was tough because it is in a 2 hour limited parking street.

Couples Secret Getaway
This property is just as it is explained it had everything we needed. It may not be on the beach however, this spot was in a great location and within walking distance to the strand, I think 2 blocks. Awesome place for couples who are looking for a getaway, just for themselves. Cozy, fun, convenient and comfortable.

Great location for the Strand
Overall, the loft was fit our needs for attending Dickens on the Strand very well. The pictures are an exact match to reality. We both felt that all the furniture was meant for very light people and couldn't use the eating table at all.
What we loved - the size of the shower. Absolutely huge. Also, everything was clean and in it's place. Accessing the exterior door and then the loft door was easy.
What we didn't love - the uneven stairs leading to the upper floor. We realize it's a historic building, but the handrail could be tightened up. The stairs felt a bit dangerous with baggage and going up/down in long skirts. Most of the wear appeared to be on the side with the rail.
Some suggestions - additional blankets and pillows, removing "oven" and "desk" from the amenities as neither of these are present in the loft. Can some glow tape or something be added to emphasize the step into and out of the bathroom? We had to leave a bathroom light on all night.
Regarding electric outlets, there was an empty outlet on the wall the TV is on, the outlet above the sink, and an outlet in the bathroom.
Overall, for a small group, this is perfect for exploring the Strand.

Cozy place to stay
Loved this little cozy spot! The pictures look exactly like the property. We stay in Galveston often and this is by far the most convenient location! The apartment had everything we needed for a 2 stay night stay. What to expect – safe area, historic property, street parking. You will access into the building next to downstairs business’s with stairs that lead up to your loft. If you are looking for a fun, relaxed spot, I’d recommend this place!

Last Minute Booking
We were having a terrible time at a local "big resort" and wanted to salvage/finish our vacation elsewhere. Looked on vrbo and found the perfect place for myself and 2 girls. Super cute little loft. Love the Strand area, so this was any easy choice. Just as described. Easy parking in front, walk to stores and restaurants. Only downside was the amount of stairs. We had a lot of luggage. Other than that we highly recommend!

Cozy place
The good - great location! Right in the heart of the strand. The reason for my 3 star review is that there is only one outlet in which you can actually plug something in the entire living room, kitchen/bed area. (not counting behind the TV where they are both being used and the outlet where the microwave pushed against it and plugged in there). The outlet is directly behind the sink. I use a cpap machine at night, you have to run a cord over the sink and you need at extension cord to reach the bed. Also, communication was so-so. Property manager was supposed to check on the lighting and never followed up with it. There is an outer door, which lets you into all the units — this door has been broken into, the jamb is missing wood and the door does not lock all the time. Garbage - no where to put your garbage!!! They tell you to take your trash with you but do not give you a location to put it.

Extremely loud drunks came in @ 2am -4:30am Sunday am. Lack of sleep due to drunks all hours awful.
Dirty pillows cases. Turn the pillow case over you’ll be shocked. Address the issue with management their reply. Did I look for extra pillow in the closet.
No apologies or answer my question, how are they going to resolve the issue. I would never pay $664 for two night again. Further guest beware!
Parking is limited.
BTW I even submitted picture of the filthy pillow case & no reply:
