Great Location

We enjoyed staying so close to the beach and being able to not only hear, but see the ocean from the patio! With that being said, I do want to note that even though our family of ten slept comfortably in the four rooms, the living and dining space combined was not large enough for us to all hang out together. But, if weather permits, you can utilize the outdoor space. Unfortunately, it was raining all day the day we arrived and so we couldn't utilize the outdoor space to all hang out. We had issues with the cleanliness of the house such as sticky residue on the table that got on my things, junk found underneath the couch and beds and a dead cockroach in plain sight of one of the bedrooms. Since we asked about possibly checking-in early and was told housekeeping needed time to clean, we totally understood. But if five hours of cleaning got us this, that's really disappointing. All of these issues were addressed with the host and the host was very responsive and apologized for the inconvenience. Honestly, the location of this beach house was the saving grace!

The place was right near the beach.

The only bad thing about it is the location. We got stuck in the sand and had to be helped out. Not a great location for a small car

Family Bonding

We really like to house location, the house itself. the bookings arrangements was so easy. We have enjoyed staying at this location. On the other hand, the kitchen and the kitchen utensils and also towels and bed sheets could have more clean. We also have a question about leaking green ground box just at the edge of wooden tables. It’s possible that it is broken, but not sure.

Worth it

Property was how it was listed. There were a few cosmetic issues, but nothing that made safety a concern. It was so nice to wake up beach side and enjoy a nice home outside city limits. I would stay here again honestly. Apparently a hurricane pushed sand up to the driveway. I thought this was normal, but I was told my friends that it isn’t. You will have to drive on hard-packed sand to get to the home, but we had no issues in a SUV.

Cute place shows it’s age

Sitting on the porch watching The surf crash a mere 75 feet away. This cute little stay is nestled Amongst a group of beautiful homes raised up on stilts to avoid the occasional tidal surge. Was very clean when we arrived however there were no cleaning supplies anywhere for us to keep it that way. I recommend stocking up on that sort of thing for the next group. The appliances all worked fine as we made several meals in the house huge money saver. I didn’t mention but I will now this place is an incredible value. However it does need a bit of deferred upkeep taken care of. There are a few leftover spices from previous renters however no salt to be found anywhere. There was plenty of toilet paper but not enough paper towels. The beds were comfy the house was cozy Ac works really well. There are a couple places in the floor that seem less supportive than others but all that feeds into the charm of this cute little spot. Four couple stay here that usually stay in a Ritz Carlton. Our Princess cruise was canceled at the last minute this was a good stay over on our way to Louisiana. There is a great bar down the street next to the Chevron station at the bar told great stories. The town of Galveston was great there is so much to do here we will be coming back and likely for the value of the trip we will rent the same place. We will pick up some cleaning supplies before we show up. All in all great great location cute little spot it’s not five stars but it’s close enough!

Renters beware

I will be as fair as possible. The proximity to the beach is the positive for this properry. The host did communicate back with me quickly eventhough there were no resolutions to the issues I presented. The photos on the listing are of this property, however they do not represent the poor state of repair this property is in. The floors are unstable and have paint splatter in several places. The paint is probably from the layers of paint on the walls and built in cabinets. The bunk beds are no longer on legs, instead the bottom bunk is on the floor. The dishwasher did not work. Kitchen caninets were dirty and unorganized. The septic tank is over flowing grey water. The decking is in need of complete replacement. (On the last day, one of the boards popped off the back staircase and struck me.) The shared bathroom isnt pictured and extremely small. Ceilings have mold and water damage. Door and baseboards were worn out. Furniture stained. Not much room in the living area to gather. When the washer was in the spin cycle the house noticably shifts. Again, location to beach was ideal. This property would be reaonable foe about 125 dollars a night for walls and a roof. If you spend all day at the beach and just need to shower and sleep, it would be satisfactory at a lower nightly rate. Oh, and the driveway that curves under the house is difficult to manuver in a midsize suv, back in recommended. state of

Labor day

The property is as large as advertised. The plugs on either side of the kitchen sink are GFI and lit but did not function. The coffee pot had to be plugged in in the living room. The TV and internet were fine. The property had large roaches inside and on the patios. The roads to the house were non existent and we would not have been able to access the house if we had a small car.

Dissatisfied Booker

In a nutshell, we made the best of some unforeseen amenities, and these online photos are surely misleading. Letting people know the fence in the back yard was down would have been a good start. Pest control should surely be considered as well. Other issues should be looked into, but I'll stop there...

Disappointing stay due to poor cleaning / setup

Bad experience at this property, likely due to the company that manages the property. Downstairs bathroom was locked and when we got the bathroom door open bathroom was dirty. Downstairs TV was not hooked up, only one frying pan and one coffee cup. Property in need of some repair. Very poor performance by the company managing property, they refused to come out even though I highlighted the issues right after checkin. The recent (June & July) bad reviews are accurate.

Don’t know how it was

We couldn’t stay there as the power was out due to the hurricane. The property manager offered us another property in lieu of this one. It was a lesser/cheaper property but they would not refund the difference. When we checked in to the other property it was filthy. They sent the cleaning crew over and they cleaned it right up. The pool was a mess and unusable and they never cleaned it. When I asked for some compensation for it the property manager stopped communicating with me. I will not rent from this property menegemwnt company again.
