Nice property in a gated community….Nice!
4.0 / 5.0
This beach house is a great property located near the beach. We enjoyed the soaking pool on the property as well.
5.0 / 5.0
The property was in a great location and the house was nice. The outdoor entertainment area was our favorite hangout (we could have done without the 1,000 mosquitos.) It’s a good trip when the only issue you have is not being able to find the outdoor remote. Lol We enjoyed it and would highly recommend folks to book here!

House was clean and had everything that the listing said was provided. Overall very happy with the stay.

We really enjoyed our stay. The house was so well equipped in the kitchen . The beds were so comfortable. Our family had a great time hanging out in the backyard playing games .
5.0 / 5.0
This house is perfect for a large family or a big group of friends. We had 12 and the house as very comfortable for all of us. The home was clean with newer linens and pillows and fully stocked with enough plates, cups, cooking pans and utensils. We had plenty of towels and were able to all get a shower one after the other which is normally hard with that many people. Most houses we stayed at we would have to bring our own extra towels or wait to shower for hot water. The outside area is private and perfect for kids to
Play and a great place to prep food and eat at the outdoor table. It’s also fully covered so you can enjoy time outside if it rains while you’re on your trip like it did with us. The outdoor shower was great to have to wash all sand off before you head inside and the little kids really enjoyed the pool. Only thing that I wish we had were hangers for closets. We had a lot of clothes with so many people and it was a little overwhelming living out of suitcases. Otherwise our trip was great and we will keep this house in mind for our next trip out that way!

We enjoyed the ground level area. Ping pong table and swing chairs were a hit. Played cards on the table and enjoyed homeade ribs iff the barbecue.
3.0 / 5.0
Overall we enjoyed our stay but would choose to stay somewhere else next time. The house was very well cleaned and communication with the host was very prompt. However, we felt the listing left our major details. The bedroom located down the “hallway” was actually downstairs located off the outdoor area separate from the house. The kitchen was poorly stocked including lacking potholders to take things out of the oven and basic necessities for cooking. It is also important to bring your own toilet paper and paper towels as they provide only a very limited amount. These things were not found in the description or information provided by the host. Some of the previous reviews mentioned issues with bugs but that was not a problem for us.
5.0 / 5.0
The home was recently updated and had plenty of room for everyone. the downstairs patio area was fun and relaxing. The Cowboy pool was a plus. Overall, we all had a great time and would recommend others to stay, and we would like to stay again.

Everything was good.
1.0 / 5.0
The home was large and checkin was easy. After that, it was all downhill. The area downstairs adverised as an out door family area had a broken faucet and none of the electric lights or plugs worked There was trash and bits of bone and shh everywhere The upstairs shower leaked directly icer the downstairs patio atea making jt difficult to use The pool filtration system wasnt working either The interior if the house was dirty The sofa had holes and disgusting stains There were roaches throughout the kitchen an baths We went to make coffee in the coffee maker and roaches crawled out The beds had no mattress pads The bathrooms had mold in the corners and the bath tubs were dirty. I communicated immediately with the property manager they responded quickly but could not repair the sink and electric until halfway through our stay They did not fix the shower drain or address the roaches Overall, we were very disappointed and will likely not use VRBO again
1.0 / 5.0
Where to begin. Roaches everywhere, we had roaches climbing on kids in the middle of the night. The listing stats 4 bedrooms 3 bathrooms, but what it fails to mention is that one of the bedrooms ( the one with 2 beds) is outside and the bathroom is also outside. The bedroom that is outside has mold and is unusable.
When you use the bathroom upstairs, water falls into the 1st floor backyard. The oven didnt work, the sink in the backyard was broken and cannot be used. Rhe garage is full of trash and construction debris, it cannot be used. The pictures are not what this house look like. If you want to enjoy your vacation DO NOT STAY here, is hazardous and dangerous. I would expect someone form VRBO to contact me in regards of a refund.

Not happy at all had to leave as bottom room had mold.
1.0 / 5.0
The house is in a great location and that's the only good thing about it. Shortly after we arrived we realized there was a roach infestation. I'm not talking about the expected big flying water roaches that you'd expect on the coast. There were tons of German roaches inside the house. They're all over the kitchen and bathrooms. Within 5 minutes of setting the pizza we ordered on the counter there were roaches in it and we had to toss it along with other food we'd brought. There were roaches (full size and babies) in the drawers, cabinets, under the fridge, in the toilet paper rolls, on the dishes, etc. It was absolutely disgusting. The property manager said they'd send the maintenence crew to come spray but they never came. We spent a lot of money to stay here for a weekend and half my family (including me) were terrified to go to sleep at night. I would not recommend wasting your money staying at this house unless you're ok with sharing it with nasty, dirty roaches.
2.0 / 5.0
Pros:
The owner responds quickly to questions/concerns
The house is cute
Cons:
Lots of roaches. The owner did say they treat for pest control regularly. However, the roaches we saw were German roaches. You need to treat differently for those
The paint is peeling on the primary bathroom door.
Also what appears to be rust below the faucet in the primary bathtub
The bed frames are very thin and mattresses are lumpy. However, we did expect a lumpy mattress since so many have stayed here
You have to pay $100 to use the community pool
The beach is within driving distance and you can't hear the waves
Some of the flooring is coming up in the living room

The house was great and super close to the beach. Great location and a beautiful home. We loved the Tiki area. We will definitely book with them when. The property manager was prompt!
5.0 / 5.0
Rented this property for a little relaxation time. Good location if you don’t want to stay near the traffic along the Seawall. Still close enough if you want to head that way and be in the middle of it. Access to the beach is less than a two minute drive by vehicle or golf cart. Very spacious living quarters.
5.0 / 5.0
We booked this property for our cruise group to all stay together. The neighborhood was really fun. We had dinner down at the marina and watched the sunset. We had a few drinks and listened to live music before heading back to the house. However, the downstairs bedroom was unbearably musty and moldy smelling. We were unable to use this room in the house and had to improvise sleeping arrangements. We made it work! The patio area was really cool but our stay wasn’t long enough to enjoy. We would stay here again.

Definitely a 5 star stay. We loved it!

This property was clean and comfortable! Kitchen was fully stocked and beds were comfortable. The only thing that could have been better is the fridge could use some baking soda.
5.0 / 5.0
Property was very accommodating for a large group. The down stairs/patio/grill area was awesome to sit around and catch up. Probably our groups favorite part of the property. The host was very communicative making sure we arrived and checked in without any troubles. It is kind of a ways out from the main attractions of Galvestion, but we didn't mind taking the drive into town. Would definitely stay again.
4.0 / 5.0
The property is nice but had a few things that needs attention. Not so bad we couldn't stay there. Maintenance was right on top of things we needed fixed. The stairs were hard on my spouse who has knee problem. Specially hauling our stuff up. We stayed three weeks. Patio downstairs needed hosed out so we didn't track dirt to the beds downstairs. Had to walk through patio to go to the bathroom/ shower downstairs. Not a problem for me. Just tracking dirt to bed after shower was. The yard is fenced with a section of grass to play with our dog. He was able to stay down there when we went out. Place had good restaurant / bar nearby and walking distance to beach. Could see beautiful sunsets. Overall, besides a few minor problems, it was a great stay. Plenty of room.

I could literally hear the waves on beach from the house which was lovely and was everything we needed. Excellent communication from the host from check in to check out. I shall return!

We stayed there for a weekend once we arrived the house was very clean and spacious, and it had plenty of cups plates and silverware and about every kitchen item you would need. The house was clean and the beds were comfortable. The deck downstairs is very big it makes for a great area to hangout and have a good time. I would recommend!

5.0 / 5.0
My family and I have stayed in many VRBO's around Galveston Island. This was our first time at Sea Isle and it did not disappoint. Family friendly beach. Away from the Seawall crowds. This particular property just added to the fun! Here are my pros and cons of this property:
Pros:
- Fast/easy check-in to the property
- Property mgt/owner was very responsive
- Comfortable and clean
- Lovely beach decor
- GREAT water pressure in the bathrooms
- Kitchen had every utensil, pots/pans you would need
- Plenty of towels for a large group
- Close to the public beach parking
- Quiet neighborhood
- Close to "The Marina" and restaurant/bar (great food!)
- FAST wifi (had to work from here on Friday... no problems)
Cons:
- Mattresses on all the beds are hard/firm (not my preference)
- Each bed has a thin coverlet; bring your own blankets
- Only one pillow per person; bring yours if you like two
- Downstairs bedroom is very musty; my adult kids wouldn't sleep there (a/c in that room is AWESOME though)
- Downstairs bathroom was musty smelling too, but the tile is GORGEOUS and the water presser was fantastic
- There are broken boards and ripped screens in spots which was a little unsightly
- Needs some touch-up paint here and there around the baseboards and caulking around the tub/shower - property is showing its age a bit
Overall, we would DEFINITELY stay here again. This is a great property! The best part for me is the downstairs patio. We spent a lot of time out here socializing with family. This aspect of the property is unique and makes this property very special.

Good get away
The house has everything you need and more. It was clean and comfortable. It was a later checkin then I’d like. Checkout was also so early. But I enjoyed the house!

Very nice house
Stayed for an extended weekend to visit with family passing through the area to celebrate my birthday. The house itself is lovely. Very well decorated. The outside living area was great for entertaining. Only downside was that the downstairs bedroom was so strongly musty-smelling, that we could not use it, so had to find other accommodations for some of our family at a hotel further into Galveston. Notified the manager/owner about the issue, but they never responded to the email. The downstairs restroom we found the last day there, as it’s tucked via a separate door behind the house. While the accommodations in the main house was lovely, it wasn’t quite what we expected from the pictures and description.

Wonderful property
We only stayed for one night, but this property was wonderful! Had everything we needed for our stay and was only a quick 3-4 minute walk from the beach!

Great experience!
We stayed over New Years. The location was just as described, and was well stocked with all the necessities. The downstairs room was ok, but It did get pretty cold when the weather changed. I don’t believe there is a heat option for it, so it might be something to keep in mind.
