The cleaning company needs to be replaced. Hair in every shower! Tooth brush laying on the floor between sink and toilet of 1 bathroom. The cabinet door was off under the sink. A false drawer facing board was split in 1/2 and hanging by paint on the kitchen bar.
When we arrived we realized the pictures on VRBO look better than actual. House is a little run down but it is a beach house and hard to maintain, I get that. However, we walked in and there was a kitchen sink cabinet that was completely on the floor, hinge and all. There was another cracked drawer. Not necessarily a big deal but a flag. The area underneath the house had not been swept at all. There was sand, charcoal, dirty tables, and bar b q pit parts scattered about. The grill was in total disrepair. Felt like any second it would collapse. Also water leaked from a bathroom shower onto the concrete. There was algae were the water was falling which meant the leak had been there awhile. Obviously no clean up was done there prior to our arrival. Additionally there was a beach restoration project that was ongoing. Wed-Fri we had dump trucks and front end loaders in front of the house. Would have been nice to know. Lastly we had guests arrive on Fri. When they went into the room to retire they discovered blood on their pillow. How did the housekeeping group not see this?Except for the beach restoration project, all of the issues above are easily fixed. There seems to be a lack of attention from the mgmt group.
The house is nice and well stocked. The area is cute and there is a nice community pool nearby. The beach in front of the house was closed for construction. We were not able to enjoy the beach. There was constant tractor traffic, 18 wheelers, and signage that we could not access the beach. Although it is advertised as being beachfront we were not able to access the beach and it was a huge disappointment. We also paid for a golf cart for the trip and we were not able to use it because the beach was closed. The trash was never emptied and we had to keep our trash inside for the entire trip. We could not watch TV bc none of the TVs had remotes. Thanks!
We loved this property so much that we decided to rent it again this year around the same time of year. Once again the whole family was able to come, 11 adults and 2 small children. It is so comfortable and spacious and we enjoyed it once again every moment we were there. I highly recommend it!
We had a great time. We enjoyed the close proximity to the beach. With small children we could make several trips a day to the beach without it being a big deal. The deck and chairs were wonderful for watching the waves. All of us really enjoyed it.
Beach house has direct beach access from deck or by road just a few houses down. The layout is perfect for families. Main floor bedroom and bathroom is convenient for parents and the multi-bunk bedrooms great for kids. The kitchen, living-dining room layout is open and spacious. The whole family could hang out together. The views are amazing from sunrise to sunset. Would recommend and hope to stay here again in the future.
There were 9 of us and had space for plenty more! Great place to be especially with kids. Lots of seating in the living space and all of the windows brought in tons of natural light. Plenty of pots/pans/dishes/silverware to accommodate large groups. The main strip in Galveston is only about 15 to 20 minutes from the house with tons to do and places to eat (there were a few things closer as well).Had a couple minor issues that were handled immediately. Would definitely stay here again!1 thing to note...this is a beach that you can drive on which scared me at first but everyone was very cautious and we had no issues.1 suggestion (not complaint because I asked beforehand and knew what to bring)..beach towels are not supplied but there were plenty of bath towels for showers/baths.
Easy access to beach. Path direct from property. Be aware vehicles are allowed on beach. Easy check-in and check-out. Plenty of room. The bottom bunks are in the floor. Quiet neighborhood. Would stay again.
Overall, the listing was as described and it was a nice home that could accommodate a large group. It is right on the beach however beware that it gets terribly busy with lots of cars going up and down. There is tons of room and space for a large party. We only used 3 of the rooms. Pets were welcome which was a plus. Upon arrival, the key wasnât in the lock box but management replied very quickly to get us into the home. There was a broken cabinet and trash can in the kitchen but nothing that was an inconvenience to us but were reported for repair. The kitchen had just about everything readily available for me to cook all our meals using what we brought. We would book again.
Truly loved the place. Great location, clean, patios and great large living area with giant couch. Perfect for extended family. The 2 king bedrooms are like having 2 master bedrooms and worked so well with our family. All rooms are spacious and my favorite thing is all of the TALL chairs across the deck. Height is a big issue with me on deck furniture and these were perfect!!! We spent so many hours out there. Will stay here again next time we come.
The home was not as nice as the photos led us to believe. We arrived to a broken cabinet (door was on the floor), broken garbage can, and numerous ceiling light bulbs were out. Thatâs kind of a big deal because there are almost no table lamps, not even in the bedrooms. The toilets required additional cleaning and Iâm not convinced all the sheets were changed as some were suspiciously wrinkled. However, the view was fabulous and so are the deck chairs. I also received good communication from the property manager.
Well laid out house for extended family vacation. Plenty of real beds for everyone. Couldn't have been pleased with large deck sitting right on the Gulf. House was clean, but severable maintainable issue, but we'd stay again despite the.
It was as described in both the listing and in the reviews. It is an older home that has been updated in decor. It is multi-level inside the home. Good thing we didn't need the bunk beds as the bottom bunks are on the ground which would've been more like camping had any adult had to use them. The bathrooms have not been updated but they function.
This was our first time renting a house and using a service like this. We had a great time. This house is in a very good location. Not too many people on the beach when we stayed, but only 15 minutes from town.
