Lovely Visit!

The house was clean and organized. Freshly painted inside and out. The beach was 140 steps away. You had a lovely view of the ocean from the deck. The curtains are not blackout and I was glad we brought our sleep masks. There were only 4 of us and it was great. 2 living rooms would be nice for family with younger kids.

Excellent trip to the beach

We had a blast in the property. The property is so close to the beach we walked it everyday with all our stuff and it was no issue at all. Beach and the house were very clean and in a very nice location. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Perfect for a Weekend or long term stay

The house was clean! The host made it easy to check in and check out. He assisted us with a couple of questions during and after our stay and responded in a timely manner. You can see the beach and hear the waves from the balcony. The house is just a quick walk down a paved road right down from the beach- we used a wagon to make our walk to the beach a bit easier. The kitchen came equipped with what we needed. Dryer and washer available too. We had plenty of room for everyone to sleep comfortably. We do recommend bringing your own pillows. We look forward to booking this home for our future Galveston stays.

Great stay in Galveston

Private beach was great, friendly, secure neighborhood, clean, light, airy atmosphere in the home, pretty decorations, paintings, floor and wall colors, nice kitchen, happy surprise 3rd bathroom. The 4th bedroom was more like a 2nd living room with 2 twin beds on one side, nice, but not private, lots of covered parking, loved the outdoor shower and the ramp, as well as, a great staircase. Outdoor balconies had several nice seating areas, and 2 gates that closed nicely. The kitchen dishes and pans were very nice quality. One drawback.. the outdoor grills were too dirty to use, so we changed our menu. Stores and gas very closeby. The ac was great .. nice and cold in July! Seating areas were comfortably and plentiful for our large family of 13! Thank you for providing a lovely vacation home.

It’ll work if you don’t have high expectations!

I wouldn’t stay here again. The property was dirty. It ness a good scrubbing inside and out. The vent on the wall by table is filthy. The cupboards/appliances need wiped down. Broken toys out in yard. The shower leaks a steady drip that makes you crazy. Grills are not usable which totally destroyed our game plan for eating. NO kayaks. The beds do not leave you with a good night rest. It does have nice view of water and close to walking to beach and private beach was nice.

great location and house

The house size and cleanliness of the house and property were great. The master bedroom lacked privacy due to double doors not completely closing. The master bathtub would not hold water. When we arrived we had little to no hot water and called the manager who promptly booked a repair guy. However, the repair guy could not show up until the day we left. When the repair guy showed up, the manager informed us we had called for no reason, that the hot water heater was working just fine. I felt like he thought we had not been truthful when reporting the issue. Also, if you need black out curtains to sleep, this is NOT the place for you. All curtains were shears which allowed you to enjoy the beautiful views. We could never get the back tv to connect to the cable service, so we just all shared the main tv. I still gave the stay a four overall, such a great location and large house to accommodate us all. We would stay again.

Wonderful home; needs a little TLC :)

We loved this place! The home is decorated/ colored in such a cheery, inviting, user friendly fashion, with a unique layout that honors vacation "mode". The door that closes off back bedrooms/hallway is genius, as it allows the late sleepers not to be disturbed whilst others get up early, use the kitchen, etc. The home didn't appear to have been cleaned before we arrived, though. There was obvious filth, stains, spills, bits of food on floors, hair still in bathrooms, food left in bedroom, trash had not been emptied from the bins outside. Perhaps the turnaround time between guests wasn't adequate for thorough cleaning to be done? This lovely home has some updates that are needed. The wash machine, though very convenient and much appreciated, is likely ruined. No matter what you wash in it, or how much scented product you add, the items come out smelling very strongly of mildew, and it does not go away, so whatever you wear, you stink. Some of the drains in bathrooms drain very slowly, there's paint peeling up on wall in one bathroom. In bunk bedroom, the ceiling fan has no blades on it, and the ac/heat vent in ceiling is hanging sideways, about to drop from ceiling. Unsightly, but more so, a bit of an unpleasant accident waiting to happen in a room where likely kiddos will be the occupants. Just a bit of TLC, and a good deep clean, is all the home needs. It really is a very special, family friendly place, and we would return here in a heartbeat, and most likely, we will!

Best location ever!

Overall for a family the property needs some updates, and some simple maintenance touch-ups. The stairs up to the front door have nails sticking out everywhere need to be hammered back in. There were loose spindles on the deck which my 3-year-old granddaughter stuck her head through very frightening. Ceiling fan in the kitchen does not work ceiling fan in fourth bedroom had no blades. Coffee pot was nice but only had a two cup coffee pot so first day coffee got spilled everywhere need a new coffee pot. The blender only had the base no top part for blending. Ice maker in the refrigerator doesn't work had to go buy ice twice a day. The sofa bed in the living room with disgusting I'll attach pictures no one would sleep on it so had to go buy an air mattress for the bedding. There were two grills for cooking both were unusable completely destroyed rusted out. The patio had lots of paint equipment and paint buckets scattered everywhere very inconvenient had to watch my twins constantly getting into that stuff. Master bedroom doesn't have knobs on the doors you have to pry the doors open and close. Think with some simple updates and a little bit of care the place would get five stars. But unfortunately with the inconveniences of simple things like no coffee maker no blender ceiling fans not working just a little aggravating. If these things were updated it would make all the difference in this property.

Beach Vacay

The good: The house itself is lovely. There was plenty of room for our group of 12, and though it feels less congested than Galveston proper, we were still close to things, including a Dollar General 4 minutes away. The house is a VERY short walk from the beach. You’re 12 minutes from town. There’s plenty of room for everyone to have space without feeling like you’re on top of each other. Mary tried to fix issues that we had and worked with us to fix our frustrations over things that couldn’t be fixed. Our problems were really a series of unfortunate events happening at the same time.The bad: Our problems were really a series of unfortunate events happening at the same time. We found out on our way there that we were a bed short due to the previous guest’s breaking it, but as discussed with Mary (who was amazing during this frustrating process), we made it work with a different sleeping arrangement. We had an unreliable fridge/freezer because it either wouldn’t freeze or was completely frosted over the entire trip. We had to go out to eat on nights we didn’t plan or make extra runs to the store since we did not have a trusty way to store food. Three of the four living room ceiling fans and one bedroom fan weren’t working. The living room ones got fixed, thankfully, because that room is longer and lacks air flow. Mary sent an electrician the next day to fix that, but he didn’t mess with the bedroom fan and took a working fan from another room because of a bracket issue. That issue was not re-addressed after I brought it up again. We addressed the yard not being mowed with EVOLVE, and it was handled the same day maintenance was there. All in all, I dealt with customer service via text, call, or email every day of this trip. That was frustrating, but my kids, who weren’t as affected by all of that, had a great time, and that is what I wanted to happen. I’m grateful to Mary for her patience and kindness. I know she was as frustrated as I was.

Great location to beach, property fell short of expectations

The owner did call back when needed, nice enough gentleman. Two weeks prior to our stay, the hurricane hit the area with some wind so a little exterior issue here and there was not unexpected. However, the floors are popping up inside, many dead bugs were found due to the exterminator coming previously and nobody had been to the place in a few weeks to check on it, and the building just was outdated and older. Overall the stay was fine, just not as nice as the photos. Additionally, the mosquitos in the area were the worst I have ever experienced.

This house is a cute as it is in the pictures! We loved how close we were to the beach and went back and forth often. The outdoor shower was so convenient. I even enjoyed that it was outside of the busyness of Galveston and found the drive to be a nice one.
