The house is clean, the beds are fine and the pool is fine. Unfortunately not a lot of attention to detail. The AC is VERY loud and has to be turned off to enjoy time in the living room. It’s also very loud in the master bedroom. The second shower head in the master does not work. Low stock of items needed in the kitchen. Would not stay again unless AC is fixed.

I asked for a partial refund because of the pool, i was told a return check of 40 dollars will be sent to me! What a slap in the face! I have pictures of the pool, let me know if yall want to see.

Nice Private Place to Stay in Galveston
The home is nice and was relatively clean when we arrived. However, the first thing we noticed when we arrived was that the grass here, and every other house on the street, was long. Mowers did begin cutting grass at other homes during the week we were there, so maybe it was just the timing. The only other negative thing was that the pool was a murky green when we arrived and had lots of trash in it. It was an immediate shock and disappointment to the kids as this was our main reason for renting the place. We found out from maintenance that the pump had not been running, for who knows how long, and he had just shocked the water with chemicals. I had to personally do lots of skimming and cleaning with the net and the kids had to wait a few hours to let the water start to clear up before swimming. The next day the water in the pool had dropped around a foot overnight. There was a leak in the pump and the pool guy seemed to have to work on it for half the week that we were there. It did not hinder the kids from swimming and overall, they had a great time. There were a few other little things that I could nitpick about, but besides the main pool issue, the place was nice, clean and accommodating. There are plenty of beds, bathrooms, and room to move around. The A/C worked nicely. The kitchen was nice and very well supplied with dishes, utensils, pots and pans, etc. The Wi-Fi/Internet worked great. Furniture was comfortable. We would definitely stay here again.

Family Trip
House had a closed up smell, but once we turned up the ac, sprayed and got the fans going it was better. Back door frame was broken, I reported it to Guest Services immediately and they took note. Also contacted property manager about pool and he sent someone over right away. House was very spacious and very comfortable for our family . Pool was amazing for perfect evening swim. Would stay here again.

Nice house, but needs more maintaining.
It's a beautiful home and layout. Pool is nice. Cleaning crew probably not the most efficient. left dirty sheets in the sofa beds, floor was sticky and the patio was dirty, though that could be chalked off to recent storms. Wasn't overly stocked. Few dishes and amenities but not enough pillow cases for pillows and couple of pillows had holes. Twin bed was broken when we got there and put up loosely so when i hit it with my foot, it fell on my foot.

Went to visit family, nice place to stay as advertised. It was a little cool to in joy the pool, but that did not stop my 13 year old son. Great spot close to strip, beach, and food. American kitchen was a great place to have breakfast.

Mardi Gras at Bonita Cove
Good location to get to strand and beach. Neighborhood felt safe. Nice layout in house, beds and bedding could use some improvement. Backyard is fenced but all pool, cement and rocks so no where for dogs to poop, had to walk in front yard, but the park at the end of street was nice to walk dog to.

Vacation
After we booked this property we were very concerned with the negative reviews that were left. We were in contact with the owners previous to our stay and they were very responsive and helpful. The pool was clean, it is an older pool, so it does have some tile issues, but it was perfect for us and the kids loved it! The rock wall addition to the pool was a huge hit for our boys! The house was clean. If you’re looking for a luxurious home, this one is not for you! If you’re looking for a place where you can relax, kids can swim, and you can hang around the tiki bar during the day, this is for you! It’s great location to the beach and Sea Wall BLVD. The ferry is also close if you wanted to hop on. We were very grateful for this property. We all agreed we would book this home again!

DO NOT BOOK
If I could get a refund plus a cleaning fee for everything I did that would make me feel like I didn't have all my money stolen. Master bathroom toilet was broken and we had to fix it, the bathroom wasn't clean. Blood on walls of master bathroom. Mold growing on ceiling, shower walls, curtain, and windows, trash on floor. Master bathroom sink clogged and would take 15min to drain. Main bathroom tub drain clogged. Black particles would come out of drain when water was in tub. Drain time was 60-75min for tub. Hide a bed was completely broken. It couldn't even close. When we arrived it was half way closed and the cushions were on the floor beside it. The mattress had yellow and orange stains and there was a large red/brown stain on the cushion. Dishwasher and refrigerator were both in need or repairs. They worked, but TLC needed. Every time I would use the oven the fire alarm would go off when the door was opened because of all the burned food at the bottom. Cigarette butts all over in the back yard. The pool chemical shed had the door broken off laying in yard and the chemicals were falling out onto the ground. The eating/bar area could not be used. It was full of broken pool supplies, trash, and random items. All the vents, intake and out, were full of dust. Floors were all dirty around the rooms and corners. There was a sticky pad in the laundry room that had a decaying lizard and mouse on it. I HAVE PICTURES OF ALL OF THIS! My 6yr old has cystic fibrosis. It's a terminal lung disease. It's hard enough to keep her healthy, and breathing without difficulty, without having to deal with unsanitary conditions like this. I spent a day cleaning just so we could stay there comfortably. I left it cleaner then when we arrived.

Not the best value
The interior of the home was very good and layout was convenient. There was a problem with one door lock, the beds were average at best, and there was a moldy shower curtain in one bathroom. Not enough toilet paper and a constantly running master bath toilet. The backyard was terrible, with a standing bucket of water to breed mosquitoes, trash and debris scattered about and worst of all not one blade of grass for our dogs. Not really pet friendly.

Cute and close to beach, everything
Loved the outside shower & pool, although water was cloudy. Location was perfect! Right off the Seawall and near public beaches. Beds were decent and walk-in shower was nice & big enough for 2 people! Smart TV was a nice addition and galley kitchen was roomy enough. Wet bar a nice amenity outdoors, but we didn’t use. Could use bigger trash can in kitchen, hooks for towels in bathrooms, and description listed beach towels which weren’t there. But there were boogie boards and pool floats. Overall, great place at a great price! Would definitely book again!

Pool sucked
Not Vacasa's fault however..there were 10 of us for a girl's weekend , rented a hose w pool so we could survive Galveston heat and havexa great time. Pool was dirty, something was broken, we couldn't use it and it sucked. When Vacasa checked house prior to arrival someone should have looked at the pool. They didn't come check it till 2nd day, first offered is a $75 refund on $1200 2 night rental. Unacceptable..in the end $600 credit. Weekend ruined..homeowners should be held accountable. House should be removed from rentals.

The how is really welcoming, as you go in is looks clean . But I continue see pet hair everywhere I sweep the floor and it help . The kitchen need a little more stuff if yiu use the blander regularly you need to take one since there isn’t one there , also bowls for salad or topper( take some if you use this stuff) .The outside part need a little bit more care since there were a lot of pool inflatable items just there that wasn’t good a but of trash . Other than that the house is great , quite . I do recommend this house even all the thing I mentioned before is a really great house just take the items I mention and your staying will be fine
