Renter beware if problems - beautiful beach house only if all runs smoothly

My extended family of 10 stayed over Thanksgiving long weekend. And 2.5 of our 4 days, we were without hot water, one of the A/C - heater units didn't work, and we had to manage sopping up leaks in the kitchen from the A/C and meeting contractors - all without any refund. The homeowner worked hard to repair things over a holiday weekend, but with our short stay, we got only one hot shower of the 3 nights there. Eight days before we arrived, I was given additional contracts to sign including clauses like no reimbursement for mechanical issues and noting the house provides no hand or body soaps, no dishwasher or washing machine soap, etc. It was too late to change to a new location, and we couldn't get the access codes without executing the renter-unfriendly agreements. The house was beautiful, and if all the appliances work well, you'll be all set. But if you have issues, you will have a disappointing experience capped off with overpaying for the value that you receive.

House was comfortable and having baths for each bedroom is a plus!

It might be helpful to list what you do not supply for the vrbo…..such as toilet paper, paper towels etc. new cooking or baking pans would be nice for easier use and clean up. Thank you for letting us check out later! We will rent this place in the future.

Nicely Appointed Beach Home

We loved the location of this home -- two beautiful decks with ocean views. The owner has provided so many high quality amenities in this home -- it was like being in your own home -- the linens/bedding, towels and pillows were such nice quality and the beds were all amazingly comfortable. I would definitely stay here again. Kristen is very responsive and easy to work with. My only very minor complaint is that we had very little space to store things - especially in the kitchen. There are a lot of decorations so finding a place to sit anything down was a challenge. If she could thin out some of the decor and provide an unlocked pantry for food, that would make all the difference. It would be hard to manage staying here for a full week with all of the food without having a pantry to store things in. We just felt really cluttered and cramped in the kitchen. But, again, all of the rooms were spacious and overall this was a VERY comfortable and homey place to stay. I plan on returning with my family very soon!!!

Lovely home

Beautifully decorated home. Very comfortable and so close to the beach. And the beach was like having a private one all to yourself compared to the madness of the Seawall & Stewart Beach. I just had one problem with the cleanliness: in the downstairs

Family Getaway

We loved our stay. The beach was amazing as it was just steps away. The home was just as promised. It was comfortable and convenient. We were happy not to have to fight the crowds for a spot on the beach, yet have the convenience that things were within minutes drive. Everyone commented on the fact that they had the best night's sleep that they had had in a very long time. stress seemed to melt away there. The house is beautiful many, many decorations. Our Hostess is amazing! She was in constant contact, letting us know everything we needed to know about the property.

The beach house was as we expected! It was clean, nicely decorated, and plenty of room for 4 females ( we each got to have our own bedroom and bath). Although the weather was not conducive to beach time we still enjoyed ourselves in the house. We will definitely be back!!

Wonderful Stay

The owner was incredibly nice and responsive and accommodating, especially considering our short notice. The house was perfect--clean, nice views of the water from each deck, a great kitchen, comfortable beds, well-stocked--basically everything you could ask for. After seeing some other beach rentals in the same price range, this house is, by far, the best in Pirates Beach. We will stay here again.

Great Vacation

We enjoyed our spring break trip at Linger Longer. House was very clean and homey. We had one hiccup due to being one of the first renters in the house after the February freeze, but Kristen does a great job of communicating, and got someone over there right away to fix it. Great location in Pirates Beach! We’ll be back

Perfect location and great floor plan

We chose this property to spend time with our four children and the grandparents and the floor plan with 4 bed rooms and 4 full baths was perfect for us. The beach was less than a block away so we cooked our dinners in the slow cooker and were able to come and go to the beach as we liked. The house is so thoughtfully set up and decorated and Kristen was very quick to respond to any questions I had. We would love to stay here again soon!

Our family is from Westlake, Texas and we have been spending time in Galveston for the last 3 years. We LOVE Pirates Beach, the town of Galveston and all it has to offer. We have traveled all over the world and feel so blessed to have been able to buy a beachhouse just a few driving hours from our home. Our vacation times have included multi-generations and span of ages and Galveston offers activites (or not) for our entire family! We love all that Galveston offers including Beachtime, Art Walk, Great Restaurants, fun festivals and have experienced wonderful family memories each time we are there. We hope that your family will enjoy our home and will create wonderful memories like we have enjoyed!
