Timeless Treasure

Home was beautiful.. loved how it was so close to the beach, we walked to the beach.. loved the interior of the home. Read the history of the house it was built in 1902 or 1907 so it did have a antique vibe to it. It was a little creepy at night time it almost felt like we weren't alone in the house. Next door house was a little creepy as well. But overall it was a fun time/ experience.

We arrived at the house about 5:45pm to find it had not been cleaned, beds looked like the last guests had just gotten out of them, and the place had not been cleaned. I called after hours # and found out it wasn't cleaned because the person had been in an accident. I was made to feel like I shouldn't be upset that the place I had already paid for wasn't ready for me! No, it's unfortunate someone was in an accident, but this is a business and it needs to be taken care of. A cleaning crew showed up about two hours later and worked until 10:00. My family had to figure out something to do while they were in the house cleaning. Over the next day we found the coffee maker carafe was broken, a light and fan in the kitchen didn't work and the jacuzzi tub jets in the master bathtub didn't work. Someone did bring over a brand new coffee maker, thankfully. But, I haven't heard from Ryson about any compensation for the house not being ready when we arrived on June 23rd after check-in time. Not to mention, I was really excited about that jacuzzi tub and then it didn't even work. At least Galveston offers a lot of fun activities- we didn't have to depend on the house to be the best experience of the trip. I will most likely NOT stay with Ryson again.

Nice place to stay with mixed ages in the family . From grandma to two year old. Staying with 6 ladies and one male (Dad) it was nice to have the 3.5 bathrooms.

This place was so beautiful! It's got that old school charm but modern appliances. Thr fenced in front yard was great for my toddlers and the back yard space is super cool for entertaining. The beds are comfy, the shower is nice and big, and the access to town is great!! Just know that you cannot drive or park a golf cart on the street... whoops! Overall we had a great time and would for sure stay here again.

I would have rated excellent if they did not give me the wrong keys at the office. The house is updated in great taste and quality workmanship. We experienced no appliance or other problems during our stay. This house and the one next door (a little spooky) have family history you can discover in the information booklet on the entry table at the stairs.
