Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: For the price, this house is great for a small group of people. There was 6 of us and it fit us very comfortably. Kitchen was very spacious, couch was super comfortable, and the wrap around deck was amazing!However, there were just a couple things that kept it from being 5 stars. I think they keep the power off whenever no one is staying, because there was a mildew-ish smell when we first arrived, and the fridge still wasnt cold and there was water all in the bottom of the freezer. They instruct in the cleanup to take all the trash out, but there was no trash bags. They want you to clean up all of the dishes, but there was no soap or dishwasher pods. They provided just two rolls of toilet paper for the weekend when they knew several people were coming to the house. It was kind of strange. The thing that sucked the most is we lost power for 6 hours and the property management company seemed to not care and pretty much was just like oh well.All in all, I would return back. Especially now that I know what all to bring when coming.

House could use some deep cleaning, particularly the carpets which had pet stains in several areas.

Overall good. House itself is nice and clean. Good water pressure. Listing states you have to request linens. Its $125 for sheets and towels but you still have to put the sheets on the bed.. toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags not provided. Beach is small but clean and nice. A/C wasn't working at full capacity the first day but management responded immediately and it was fixed within a couple of hours. View is great and there is a small park next to the neighborhood with a historic army bunker. Gave us something extra to do when we were done at the beach. Perfect spot for families with small children.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: At first we had a little trouble with the refrigerator. It would not get cold. Devin came out and fixed the problem promptly. We wasn't told the TV in the bedrooms were not working until we got there. But nonetheless we still manage to have a fun time. The house itself is very beautiful. Easy access to the beach was a major plus and the view from the balcony was outstanding.

I loved the location of this property. It's right on the end of the peninsula where one can see all the ships pass by to and from Galveston / Port of Houston. It's also within a few minutes walk of the North Jetty which also has a bate camp. I liked that it's within minutes of the Port Bolivar - Galveston ferry so I could conveniently hop over to the island at will. The unit was exceptionally clean with a nice kitchen. The huge TV is another plus. The beds and furniture were very comfortable. The deck is very large and a great place to lounge and enjoy the weather. I really can't think of a bad thing to say about the property. It seemed to have everything I needed to enjoy my stay yet not over cluttered with stuff. Swedes management were very nice and quick to respond to requests. I loved this place so much I asked to extend my stay for a couple of days and they facilitated this request within an hour. I will certainly be renting this property again in the future. I absolutely loved it!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: On the rocks is a great home. Views are great.right next to the jetties. Home is overall awesome. Love the stainless steel counter top. Quick walk to the beach or jetty to fish. Couple things I didn't like. Could not get either tv in bedrooms to work(called swedes talked to a lady and they never got back with me) if I could change anything it would be getting direct tv and making sure the tvs in bedrooms work.

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was cute. I didn’t not like we have to pay for liens which I knew I didn’t like how we then had to put all our liens on, the patio furniture sucks. Literally all of it. My 70 year old father went to sit down at the kitchen table and the chair just shattered into many many pieces. He is not a heavy guy at all, and it looked like it was just pieces together with glue! I talked to two women, and was told I would be contacted Monday when she spoke with the owner, well that was a week ago now. I really just wanted mainly a apology and express how lucky they were he wasn’t hurt! But all I got was well I don’t know what you want me to tell my manager.. & so he didn’t go to the hospital right? Like come on. The views were amazing the ships were cool to watch. The beach was disgusting. And people partied on it all night that’s in front of the house, go to crystal beach. We were in Galveston most of the trip for fishing. So the ferry experience was cool.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was very nice and spacious. Nicely decorated. The deck was amazing. Our dogs loved being able to hang outside on deck with us. The patio furniture left a lot to be desired.
Inconveniences:
1. Having to pay extra for linens or bring your own, then having to make beds upon arrival!?!?! I was told they started this due to Covid.... I don’t think this is an excuse any more. Having to pay extra for linens, which includes everything, I.e. towel, kitchen, towels etc....Very Inconvenient and I Have Never Had To Do At Any Other Rental!
2. There was only roll of paper towels and 1 roll of toilet paper to share between 2 bathrooms.
3. You have to drive an additional 10/15 minutes to pick up and return key, even though there is a lock box on deck. The property is only a couple minutes right off of ferry. Having to travel 10/15 minutes past the property and then turn around and go back that direction is a little annoying.

Aside from the AC issues on the first 24hrs. our stay was amazing. I would definitely recommend this rental for my friends and family. The home was clean, gorgeous, and the views were beautiful. They responded promptly to our AC problem and made a generous offer to adjust our price due to the inconvenience it caused us.
