I understand the lack of power due to the hurricane was out of your control. However, the state and condition of the vacation home is totally in your control and was absolutely unacceptable, unsanitary and unsafe. In addition you false advertised what I was getting. When we first arrived the entirety of the downstairs are was trashed. The previous occupants had a party and your cleaning crew failed to clean it up. There were beer cans, box's, bottles and various trash all over. I called and wrote your mgt company and they said that they would send out the cleaning crew to attend to it. The cleaning crew did not arrive until the next day. And they DID NOT clean it up, all they did was ask us if we were checking out and when we said not at that moment they left without addressing the issue. We had to clean it ourselves. Also when we first arrived we could barely open the door to get in. There was a pile of window shingles blocking the door on the inside. There was literally a pile of about 60 of them in the middle of the floor inside the home. Next we had no working toilets. One bathroom had a toilet that had a broken tank, a hole at the bottom of it. Your company was aware that it was broken because you had turned the water off to the toilet so it would not flood the home. In addition your cleaning company did not clean it. In addition in t

Everything was great. I do recommend mosquito repellent!! They get horrible in the evenings. Other than that great trip!

Upon arrival, the house smelt clean!! That made me happy from the start. Everything was great!
I do suggest new mattresses as you could feel the springs through them.
Also, mosquitos are horrible! Bring spray!
We rented a golf cart and explored the area! Really fun! Great place!

This is a nice house. It is further out than I thought. It is about 20 minutes from the businesses in Galveston proper. That’s not necessarily bad, just a little unexpected. Easy access to public beach.

The house is in a very nice neighborhood, quiet and peaceful with the beach right across the highway. A short 2 min drive. Plenty of beds for everyone and the two video games in the loft were a fun addition to entertain kids. The things that could be improved: all the windows in the living room need blinds because when the sun is setting it directly hits your eyes when you are watching tv or as you sit and chat with family on the sofa, there is no way around it because that is the only seating area. Comfortable bar stools because this is the only seating to eat in the kitchen, the current bar stools are hard metal, not easy to sit on. Additional TVs should be added in the rooms so guests can watch what they feel like watching, not just have one TV. There is an umbrella shown in the pictures that is provided for the deck, there was no umbrella available to provide any shade when sitting/eating outside. If these things could be improved it would greatly improve the experience.

This made a perfect family retreat. It was about a 5-6 minute walk to the beach. The AC was cool. The TV was big and had access to all the TV viewing we could handle. Everyone bedded down comfortably. It is out of the frenzy of the Pleasure Pier area but close enough for us to get there if we wanted. Perfect family Vacay!

First of all we didn’t even get to stay at the property we were so looking forward to stay in. We ended up in a different much smaller house and the owner did not give us the price difference. Our experience was disappointing and not worth the price.

Nice House
A nice property. All had a very good time. Would've liked to see some extra blankets. Kitchen was stocked with plenty of silverware and some pots but no frying pan. There were enough bath towels but a beach house with no beach towels or chairs to bring to the beach makes no sense. We flew so obviously can't bring that stuff with us. Most rentals have board games; this house was a little chintzy on amenities. Otherwise, was good.

Everything about my kids spring break vacation stay here was amazing. From communication with the owner for check in, to distance from the beach and stores, plus the grill to bbq. We truly enjoyed. Everything was clean and well stocked.

Beautiful Beach Get-Away
My husband and I booked this home for an early Family Thanksgiving get-together. Our in-laws and grown children all stayed comfortably. We enjoyed every moment in this beautifully decorated home. We didn’t have a single disappointment. We enjoyed mornings on the deck, short walks to the beach (not crowded at all in November!), grill for burgers and brats, fire pit for s’mores, cozy-comfy seating for watching movies at night, and comfortable rooms for good nights sleep. The Gumbo Diner served up amazing seafood (and benets!) for a family on a budget. We appreciate all the local recommendations, Russell!

Beach getaway
This property was perfect for our family of 9, short drive to loads of restaurants and piers with stuff to do. 5 min walk to the perfect beach that we had to ourselves most of the time! WiFi was a bit of a problem but we were on vacation so who cares. Would definitely recommend.

Great place for a weekend away
The property was great and we loved the home. You do have to cross a busy road to get to the beach, but it is not too bad. The beach in this area is gorgeous. You are about 10- 15 miles from the hustle and bustle of the seawall, which was great for us. We loved the outdoor dining and the fire pit. The home had all the ammenities needed including coffee and filters. It would have been nice to have sugar and salt and pepper but definitely not expected. We had issues with the internet, but the owner was in constant communication and was able to rectify it by the next day. Sam did great at trying to make he experience great. Overall, we would consider staying here again and would recommend it to friends.

Ok place, not great, overpriced
This place was ok. From the pictures you get the idea that it has more seating than it does. The tables are all outside. The inside seating is a bar area with a few tall chairs. Not a great spot with kids, no bathtubs only showers with fixed heads. It is close to the beach, but you really cannot safely walk there as there is a busy road with no cross walk that you have to cross. Not safe unless you drive. The place from first glance seemed clean, but we noticed it had ants. They do not allow for an early check in and the earliest you can arrive is 4pm. We felt it was overpriced for what it was. I wouldn't stay here again.

Nice house!
The beds were comfy and clean. The house was in walking distance from the beach or a quick drive and plenty of parking at the beach. The cleaning crew ran late on checkin but I think the previous renters were dirty based on some trash found in random places hidden spaces around house. The owners were quick to respond when the toilet stopped flushing. Overall, nice, clean and close to the beach! A lot of beds for a lot of people and the kids had fun playing in the loft! Responsive owners are always a nice too!

Family reunion weekend
Property is remodeled, but still needed the repairs mentioned in a June review. Worked well for our group of 11. Nice to have a separate space (loft) for the kids.

Mixed beach getaway
We would’ve loved to have had a better experience but unfortunately did not have the best experience with the actual property. The biggest issues were that the cleaners took a significant time to clean the home post check out (and the only compensation was an extra hour the next day) which affected the time we could check in. Additionally a number of the items in the home were not clean - kitchen items, bed sheets were missing and the sink and towel rack in the bathroom were both broken. The outside window was also repaired with tape, which is a hazard. The location is great but given the high cost of the property, one should expect a higher level of care of the property.

Girls trip
Short girls trip, just to get away from the business of everyday life, layout and enjoy the sun! Mission definitely accomplished and we all adored this home. The decor is gorgeous, everything was brand new and appeared straight out of a magazine. There was plenty of patio furniture which was perfect because we couldn't have asked for better weather!
