Misleading photos and Cleanliness concerns

I usually don’t leave negative reviews, but I felt this was important for future guests. Unfortunately, this property did not match what was advertised on the listing.When we arrived, the place was clearly an older beat up house. Some things just seemed like they were half-prepped such as provided adequate necessities for a listing for 8 guests. It felt more like an empty shell than a vacation rental — where we had to buy a few of our own essentials such as cooking oil, paper towels, shampoo. The photos and description gave the impression that it would be stocked and ready for guests, but it clearly wasn’t.In addition, we encountered serious cleanliness issues. There were visible rodent droppings in the kitchen, and we saw cockroaches in the bedroom and bathroom during our stay. This made it very difficult to feel comfortable in the space.For the price we paid, we expected at least the minimum comforts and a little more care in preparing the space.This could be a decent spot if properly managed, but as it stands now, it’s just not guest-ready. I would not recommend booking unless the listing is updated and more accurate to the actual condition of the place.

Weekend in Galveston

Great location just a few blocks from the seawall. Condition of the house was great and the backyard was great with a wood fire pit. It was very close to the historic house district and the Strand. There are a few great breweries in Galveston that you have to check out we spent time in the backyard around the fire pit and you could hear the Golf. There is a great little corner store probably a half a block away. The lady works there was super nice and you can get all your basics there if you forget anything. It was a great base location.

Cozy house, great location

The house is nice with an updated kitchen and downstairs bathroom. It was comfortable for our family of 6 and we loved that it was pet friendly. Good front porch and backyard area. I’m not sure it would be comfortable for 11 people - it’s pretty compact and the bathroom upstairs is small. But, overall it was light and airy and clean. Fantastic location - quick walk to the beach and not far from Pleasure Pier. Conveniently located to lots of bars, restaurants and activities. The host was very attentive and easy to communicate with. We would stay again!

We had a great weekend enjoying Mardi Gras and staying at this property. Perfect location for accessing the beach, restaurants and The Strand. We had six adults and three kids, the house was the perfect size and set up, everyone had a bed and a room. House was clean and well-kept and the property manager was very responsive. Thanks for having us!
