If I could give this one star I would

Just to start it off, the beds are full sized not queen, the beds are like sleeping on a hide away cot. Spiders everywhere. The front bed room had dog hair in the bed, the blinds were held up by tape so if you bump them they fall down. The back bedroom had a blood spot on the sheets, black dog hair, and dead bugs. Before I could sleep, I had to wash the sheets, the bed cover was in absolutely DEPLORABLE condition. Stain on the couch cover. Absolutely disgusting. No extra sheets in the house. Once the property people were informed they offered to come and clean the house, my question is, why was it not cleaned before we arrived? Also, when the stain on the couch was brought up, I was told it was cleaned that its just a stain. They brought new sheets over that smelled like burned rubber. When asked for a partial refund, I was denied because they offered to clean it. It shouldve been done before arriving. Do not stay here. Attached are photos of the bed sheets, couch, bed cover, blinds and the spider that was found directly behind our heads on the bed. Please book somewhere else.

Unexpected Surprise

Communication prior to check in was a complicated process. I would send a message and have to wait 24-48 hours to get a response and when I did get a response it was not pertaining to my questions and my response was from multiple people who were not on the same page. Upon arrival my son found a dead cockroach in his room, we found baby cockroaches on the kitchen counter, the refrigerator was not working, the two chaise that was pictured in the listing was not there so my son had to sit on a bar stool since the couch sits only 2 people and there was sandy beach toys and chairs from the family before us. I put in a ticket for someone to look at the refrigerator and was told that they would try to make it right for the inconvenience but haven't heard back from anyone. The location is great, the abundance of towels was great but the inconveniences for my husband's birthday weekend, was not fun!

Horrible!

I’m Not sure why this listing says “premiere host”. When we got to this house to check in, the first thing I noticed is it didn’t have the two large lounge chairs in the living room like the pictures that were provided….making it NOT sleep 6. There were roaches and random Water bottles near the love seat. My nephew killed 3 spiders and some roaches that were in one of the bedrooms. The bedding had little black nats on it. This was the worst house I’ve ever stayed at in Galveston and we come here a lot. Also, the fridge didn’t work. I messaged the host several times and never heard back. I need to speak with the manager of the company who owns this property ASAP.

It was the perfect location but the house needs better attention to clean thoroughly. Bathroom is kinda dangerous for young children and older people.

Interesting Holiday Stay

There weren't any instructions beyond what was submitted via email from the property manager, Vacasa (wi-fi info, door code, and stay out of the back yard). The lack of a personal touch, as I've experienced with previous Vrbo stays, might be because of a corporation handling the stay. When I went to verify, before I could check-in, even though I'm already verified on Vrbo; it failed and I was immediately sent an email canceling my reservation. I had to call the hotline to push the verification through in order to keep my reservation. The first night was horrible. This is a downstairs unit and you can hear the upstairs people. At one point, it felt like they were intentionally stomping for almost 5 minutes after 9pm. There is a stairway that leads to the upstairs, and it's controlled on the side for the upstairs. We had a lizard in the house we had to remove. The neighborhood is sketchy. A rundown corner store a block away, shopping carts left along the block, people revving their motorcycles past 1am, and then sketchy people walking late at night past the unit. There's no central air, only portable devices and wall units in the living room and back room for heat or AC. The blinds, in the back room, are broken. The bed is an iron frame and is noisy getting in and out. It's not comfortable. The toilet and sink are on this random step up platform, no outlets in the bathroom. No live tv, only Roku live; but the WiFi was good.

Great place for a quick getaway!

My husband, two daughters (18 and 15), and myself stayed comfortably for a quick visit. I am going to go into detail as there were not many reviews when we booked. Hopefully this helps! This place is in close proximity to everything. The four of us had plenty of space in the living room to watch tv and hang out. The kitchen had all of the basics you would need. The bedrooms stayed cold at night. We were super excited to see beach chairs, sand toys, and boogie boards for us to use. I don’t recall seeing that on the listing but they were a welcome surprise since we could not fit our boogie boards in our vehicle this trip. I loved that this place was dog friendly. The only cons I have are there was no enclosed space outside for our dog to stretch her legs. There was plenty of grassy area, but she needed to be on a leash at all times. The only other thing worth mentioning is that there is a step up into the bathroom and another step to the toilet. This was not an issue for us but if you are specifically choosing a place with no stairs for someone who cannot get up stairs, please note that they will have two steps to use the toilet. We met the owner and he is very nice. This is a great place to stay for a great price!

Its a duplex, and there is a door to the other unit

This is listed as a home, so I missed the part at the bottom that said it is a duplex. I did not care for that, but the worst part was there is a stairwell and an interior door to the other unit. There is a lock, but you do not control it, so you just have to trust it is locked. I did not like that.
