The overall condition of the property is dilapidated. This was by far the worse property I have ever stayed at. This beach house was located on a canal that was a breeding ground for flies, gnats, and TEXAS SIZED MOSQUITOS. However, the flies were the main problem due to both their aggressiveness and their overwhelming numbers. It was biblical. (a s@!t load of flies) Furthermore, the only things really new in the house where the electronics. The overall condition of the house was terrible. This VRBO platform doesn't allow me to upload pictures. A picture is worth a 1000 words; and words can't describe not only the safety hazards at this property, but the run down condition of it as well. The concrete foundation has cracked so bad in the back of the house, by the canal that the wall of the back of the house on the top floor is about 1.5-2 inches lower than the rest of the floor. If you can picture the back of the house sagging. I'm no structural engineer, but when the crown molding has cracks on the top of the wall that usually is an indicator of a foundation issue; I stayed here June 21-25, 2021 .The pictures of the property are misleading. but in hopes that the owner will make the much needed repairs to the property to make it safer, cleaner, and a more pleasant experince for future guests.: VRBO GALVESTON TX NIGHTMARE RUN !!!

I'm a hard working, tax paying, 49 year old, college graduate, married for 24 years and proud father of 3 beautiful daughters. I'm old school, conservative, Christian and God fearing. I have an unapologetic sheep dog mentality for ALL. If you do better than we do better. I'm not a fan of uploading my life to the internet This is the one exception to that rule. In order to truly understand the gravity of the poor condition of this property you need to see proof. I'll let you the VRBO community be the judge. You have been warned.
In short, I performed a whole house treatment with a commercial flying insect bait that I got from one of my church members. All the flies were dead the next day. I can't decribe the overwhelming swarms of "canal" flies. Also, The ac broke. Rather than the owner/host calling out a 24hr tech, I worked with the host. I ended up fixing it, Sheepdog. I also cut myself on the worn deck. VRBO agrees I should get a refund. The owner wont comply, she has ignored all their requests to refund my money. SAD SAD SAD
