WEATHER & PEST CONCERNS:
Please take the time to consider any personal sensitivities when traveling outside of your own home. Unfortunately, we cannot control weather, wildlife, governing entities, locals, or tourists visiting the area, nor can we cater to each individual’s sensitivities. We strongly recommend researching the city you plan to stay and travel to.

BUGS:
Texas, the Gulf Coast Region, & Galveston have a variety of bugs & insects (mosquitoes, ants, flies, roaches, beetles, wasps, & spiders). Occasionally you will see ducks, frogs, snakes & even alligators around specific vegetation. Bugs and insects are not associated with cleanliness issues and often come from outside. We do pest control every 6 months & spray the interior & exterior home regularly & can provide receipts/schedules of such.

WEATHER:
Hurricanes are a yearly issue around (Jun.- Nov.) in the Texas Gulf Coast Region, & in Galveston and last for 6 months. While these brutal storms can technically happen any time of year, the significant amount of rain will infamously cause bugs and insects to be seen inside the home.

In the SUMMER months (Jun.- Aug.), temperatures in Texas, the Gulf Coast Region, & Galveston are extremely hot and can soar up to 110 degrees.

In the WINTER months (Nov.- Mar.), the 2021 Snowpocalypse has taught us that temperatures can drop below freezing to 13°F.

Due to highly destructive weather in Texas and the Gulf Coast Region, governing entities can disrupt power, water, gas & cutting off access to gas & food supply lines for days. Though these extreme instances happen rarely, they are crucial concerns & should be taken seriously along with any mandated evacuation orders.

We realize that much, if not all, of those mentioned above is common knowledge to anyone who’s ever lived in Galveston or stayed in the great state of Texas. We also recognize that not everyone traveling has had these prior personal experiences. We believe in being straightforward, and giving every guest a safe and pleasant stay for everyone is our top priority.

We are unable to provide refunds or compensation to guests. Period. For any reason. You must read, understand, acknowledge, & agree to all of the listing instructions & requirements that are provided everywhere in this listing before you book. You should fully understand any foreseen or unforeseen events that may cause your stay to be shortened.
