We want your stay to be as easy as you do, and the 979 Crew aims to deliver on that commitment. We love our island guests!

While we will do everything we can to ensure these items are in good working order before your arrival, please note, these services may not be as consistent as they are in your area.

Happiest of New Years

This house has a great location only two blocks from the beach. The interior of the home was actually cuter/nicer than it appears online. It was well stocked with all we needed for our short stay. We could not get the outdoor party lights to work but I know the electrician had just come to change out that plug so the property management team was working on it. The only other issue we had was a bug in the silverware drawer, which could happen anywhere. I notified them so they could get a pest control visit. I would stay here again, although the tight spiral staircase would make me nervous if I had very young children. The house was clean and well cared for.

Great Getaway!

We loved our stay at Aloha! Perfect location in a safe neighborhood. Very Short walk to the beach! House is super clean and the beds and bedsheets are the best! Additionally all furniture is chosen with love and we really felt at home! We were able to bring our dogs, which makes it even more enjoyable! We definitely will rent this house again!

Fabulous stay in adorable Aloha!

The property was so stunning, and our family (4 adults and a 3-year-old) had a lovely time in balmy Galveston. The house was so cute, the couch and beds were very comfy, and it was an easy 2-block walk to the beach. The decorations were so festive! I loved the Hawaiian theme. The 4 queen beds and children's toys in the upstairs bunk room were all great. My son loved all of the children's books and graphic novels. The only items I missed included in some rentals we considered were beach chairs/toys. A couple tissue boxes and a little more shampoo/conditioner/body wash per person also would have been appreciated. Do pay heed to the warnings about the teeny-tiny spiral staircase; it was a little treacherous. The downstairs shower door also was pretty hard to open/close. Parking and checkin/out were super easy; the outdoor shower and outdoor furniture were lovely to use. Our dog was very comfortable and we were so glad to get to bring him. Kitchen fully stocked and we cooked some fun meals. I loved the giant TV in the living room too; we had a fun movie night. We definitely would stay here again!

Mahalo Aloha House

Overall great property with the cutest theme and style. Also very prompt responses once you get the direct 979 customer care line once inside the home. Unfortunately we had some serious cleanliness issues discovered late at night in the upstairs bathroom despite the 979 claim of being the “cleanest” but they did their utmost to correct the situation quickly (although I had to clean bathroom myself out of disgust at midnight) They had cleaners come out ASAP the next day once I informed them with photo evidence and even though there was only two concerns within the home the cleaners completely re-cleaned the entire home, changed all linens, left fresh towels and even ran the dishwasher for us. Aside from that it was a 5 star stay with easy access to Pirates Beach!
