Clean but with safety concerns

Clean. Only 4 partial rolls of toilet paper for a place that sleeps 17. When we called for a few rolls of toilet paper, we were told they only provide starter paper although there were combination lock cabinets with paper. Very poor customer service. We were texted a few hours later after we had to make the trip for more. Something needs to be done with the stairs. The handrail does not go all the way to the bottom of the staircase and the last step blends with the flooring below. We had 2 elderly people fall on the last steps and one is currently in the hospital with a fractured hip. Also, we took the garbage out to find that 3 of the 4 cans were already full including building materialsr they

Ruined our long awaited family Thanksgiving.

This property appears very beautiful in the ad. And it is stunning when you drive up to it however it's not on the beach not as close to the beach as it states either. There were so many issues a. The oven didn't work was broken. B. The cook stop was cracked and every time it got hot the child lock would engage and shut it off. C. Wanted to showers barely trickled. D. There were molded baked potatoes on the grill gross! E. The washing machine was very rusty and left rust on the towels from the home as well as our clothes! F. Half of the light bulbs were out we had to keep moving light bulbs to be able to see wherever we were set up. G. No dish towels, no dish sponge, barely enough towels and washcloths for people to use it's supposed to be set up for 17 people with 11 towels total? G. The breaker and the main dining area and living area kept flipping leaving us in the dark. H. There was mold in one of the showers. I. The child's playground toy in the back was broken where the kids climb up and was a potential hazard for kids, thank goodness we were all adults. J. You nearly need to be a mechanical engineer to operate the elevator, as if every door The elevator is stuck on whatever floor. K. Cleanliness was not observed there as there was long black hair in the master bath tub and shower. L. Three half rolls of toilet paper for four baths. And a half roll if that of paper towels. Contacting the owner was pretty much useless she wanted to give us a small credit even though we

Spacious and Nice

We had a quick weekend stay. The house is truly awesome. The elevator is a complete life savor with my elderly parents. I wish we could of spent more time there. The communication was excellent. They answered all of our questions promptly The only thing that I found a bit odd were the door looks. I took a little while to get it figured out, but besides that the property is beautiful, the upper decks and views are awesome. I would definitely do it again.

Christmas 2023

We decided to rent a home this year that would fit our entire family. New traditions. Check in was supposed to be at 4pm. Well I was excited when the owner called around 10am and told me the house was ready and we could have early check in. The house is beautiful. The decor is nice with hardwood floors and tiled bathrooms. The master bedroom is fantastic, everyone wanted to bathe in that shower. The other bedrooms were just as described in the VRBO app. They were large enough for several people to stay. The elevator was a great help. It was sensitive. The only downside which the owner did explain was the oven and stove. They were a little bit outdated. I called about the stove and she guided me on how to use it. Everything was great and we had a wonderful time. I hope to do this again, probably in the summer!

Miracle of the Sea

This is a beautiful property that sits in a safe, quiet, clean neighborhood away from the hustle and bustle of Galveston. The home is spacious, well stocked with linen and kitchen tools/dishes. The A/C is cold and the hot water is hot for all 10 of us! The separate living spaces allows for the kids to have a space to watch TV and play. The washer and dryer, while dated, works great. The outside shower has warm water and works great to get the sand off. The yard is spacious and well manicures, but watch out for fire ants! The swing set is a little rickety, but held up! We had a wonderful stay and the owner is easy to reach and very nice! Great for large, multi-family use.

Very dirty

When we arrived at the rental, the lockbox was opened and broken off. So no key was in the box. Called the contact and she answered right away. She led me to the another key. Within 5 minutes of being there, walking up the stairs a picture is falling to the ground. Again - called the contact answered right away. Getting into the house and walking around, it was very very dirty. The floor was not swept or mopped. There was clumps of hair on the bathroom floors, used eyelashes on the counter and all over the floor. Fingernails on the chairs. Unopened condoms stuck in decorations. Piles of dirt on the floor. The decks had chairs flung around, trash lying around. We’ve had to go to the store for cleaning stuff and spend hours cleaning just so we could stay there. I reached out to the contact - now no reply. 2 days later - still haven’t heard anything from her. The living room furniture was outdated and not in good shape. Also dining room table was very wobbly. Overall, the house was ok. Upstairs was nice and the house was very roomy. Elevator was a plus since we had elderly and handicapped people. Pictures shown are not updated to what the house actually looks like.

Very disappointing

Entering the house requires climbing 3 flights of stairs. We came in after dark to unlit stairs. Once we got in the house we expected to turn on the outside lights to see to unload everything. Only a couple of lights worked so we had to use the car lights and our phones to see to bring everything in. We expected to be able to use the patio for supper but could but since the lights did not work. When we reported this we were told they would fix it after we left since it was not an emergency. We were told we could take some bulbs out of the kitchen fixtures and put them outside. The fixtures were in such bad shape we did not do that. I sent them a picture of the fixture and asked again to get them fixed. This time the manager said they were on vacation and could not do anything about it. The dishwasher was not connected to the cabinet on one side. The disposal was stopped up so the dishwasher drained into the sink. We fixed that. The ice maker in the refrigerator made almost no ice. There were not nearly enough towels so we had to wash towels. There was no detergent for that. This was by far the least stocked house we have ever stayed in. Fortunately we brought all the pans and such we needed to cook with. The grill we wanted to use was disgustingly dirty and rusty. We rent these type houses usually two times a year. This was by far the worst experience we have ever had. We have never been treated so dismissively by a manager or been in a house that was in such shape.

About the host

Hosted by Marisol Mendez

My name is Marisol Mendez and I manage Miracle of the Sea Vacation Beach Home for my mother-in-law. My husband Estevan built this dream home for my mother-in-law( Maqui). Maqui took an interest in having a beach house as an investment/getaway for the family. Every year, for the past 10 years, Maqui has taken the initiative to plan the family vacations for us throughout the United States and one in Acapulco, Mexico. Maqui would make plans for her 2 sons, daughter-in-laws, 1 daughter, son-in-law, and 10 grandkids. We wanted to make the best out of the short time and cherish those memories. Where your vacation is equally as important as where you stay.

Why they chose this property

Miracle of the Sea is great place to relax and build some fond memories. It is a direct result of the likes and dislikes of our vacation experiences. Miracle of the Sea truly is unique. The property description and pictures don’t do it justice. We have gone above and beyond the norm to make our stay as comfortable as possible. We enjoy it every chance we get and now available for others to enjoy it as well.
