We were very much looking forward to our stay at the Sea Isle. This community is so sweet and very well maintained. Check in is 20 plus minutes away from the property. I HIGHLY recommend they add a digital code key for the property! This was very inconvienent. We arrived to the area early, and were not allowed to check in early, even though we offered to pay a fee. We were told that they house wasn't ready at 2pm for a 4pm check in.
Thinking that they house was still being cleaned, we anticipated a sparkling and great smelling home. The house has an awful odor of mold and mustiness. It was clear that no one had been in the house recently. The floors were not swept and as I stated, it had a very old/musty/closed up odor.
The next day, were were eating breakfast and some family members were showering. We noticed a water bubble in the sheet rock. Then all of a sudden, water started dripping from the ceiling/cabinet area of the kitchen. We couldn't figure out where the water was coming from. It wasn't pouring, but was steady drip for a while.
We called maintenance, and the man who showed up was pretty clueless. He didn't fix anything and just said if it starts leaking again, let us know. Well, ok....
Check out is at 10am... so, if you're more than 4-5 people staying in a home that you've brought food, clothes, etc... it takes a bit to clean everything up. We all got up and worked hard to be out of the house prior to 10am and then hustled to turn in the keys to the office. Only once I arrived to the office, it was closed and we just had a key drop off.
Kitchen chairs were broken, outside furniture is not nicely arrange upon our arrival, there was a stain on the living room couch, the upstairs "game room" couch isn't even a seat. No one older than a child could sit there. The doorways are extremely narrow... especially in the bunk room.
Our family enjoyed each other and our time, but would have had a much better experience if the house was nicely kept, updated, aired out, free of leaks and broken/stained furniture.
My hope is that this honest review will be seen by the owners so that they can understand that the management company is not caring for the home, and it is desperate need of repair.

Enjoyed the property. Only real problem was the onslaught of mosquitoes which was beyond your control and not your fault however spraying in the neighborhood would have helped.

The house was nicely located with lots of beds but the AC does cool off the top level so it stays very hot. The fridge was outdated and did not have a microwave and it was not cleaned deeply. Found trash in several areas and behind furniture. Electrical outlet did not work in one of the rooms and it needs a paint job badly. cabinets and walls. Very expensive for the condition.

We enjoyed our stay at this house. The number of bedrooms and bathrooms make it ideal for a large crowd. I do suggest new pots and pans for the kitchen or bring your own if you plan on cooking big meals. A fish cleaning station would also be a great addition.

This is a really beautiful home with lots of space for everyone, and plenty of bathrooms too! Just missing a few creature comforts like an icemaker, better pots and pans in the kitchen, and maybe a fish cleaning station downstairs. Some other suggestions might be stairs coming off the outside deck, and although obviously costly, a second AC unit for the upstairs would do wonders for cooling down those bedrooms, and I’m guessing for the electric bill as well. The back doors to the deck would not lock properly, or even stay closed, which added to the problem of not keeping the house cool (we did report that to Ryson). Also, we have rented many houses over the years, and it has been a very long time since we’ve had to actually stop at an office and pick up/drop off keys. Keyless entry would be amazing. We did have a wonderful time though, and really enjoyed all of the fireworks off the deck on the Fourth of July! We love Galveston and Sea Isle is a really neat community.

We went with our kids and grandkids (14 of us total) for the weekend. This was a great house for all of us with lots of space to spread out. Especially loved the fence that kept our youngest grandkids from the water. We were always with them downstairs but it wasn’t as nerve racking. They could still fish but not so worried about one wrong step and them falling in. The yard is completely fenced in Loved that the decks also had no stair access. Kitchen was well stocked and plenty of towels for everyone. We will definitely go back again and hopefully be able to stay longer.

Wanda from VACASA saved our family vacation
I can’t say enough amazing things about Wanda. She completely saved our family vacation. I booked a home back in February then in June, I decided to see how the reviews where going on the home I originally booked. The reviews where horrible when I called upset, Wanda ensured me she would help me find another home. We kept in touch until the Reel Me In home was secured. Wanda even went as far as checking the new location the day we arrived to be sure it was perfect. It was perfect! Give her a raise she deserves it!!!! She went above and beyond to ensure we where going to be happy. I can’t thank her enough our vacation with VACASA as it was perfect!

A work in progress
This is a lovely house and slept our party of 13 perfectly. Beds, sheets and towels as well as living space was great. However it needs some basic supplies besides coffee filters to be ready for guests. We were supplied with two kitchen trash bags, a sample size of dish soap, a roll and a half of paper towels, two pods for the dishwasher (that didn’t work) and one dollar store, cheap kitchen towel. For 3 nights and 13 people these basics were less than adequate. Please go to WalMart and buy a large box of everything so your renters have enough items to keep your place clean. You also need a dish drying rack for items that do not go in the dishwasher. We put the trash cans out on Sunday, which were already full when we checked in, and when we left this morning they had not been emptied by the trash company (all the neighbors cans had). Guests also need to be aware that there are no beach towels or condiments of any kind available, and that once you pass the Walmart there is no main grocery store. We left some kids beach toys and a boogie board. Overall all the family had a good time and there was plenty of space.

Would rent again
The dishwasher had nasty water in it that looked like maybe it wasnt working so it wasnt used, the jets in the tub did not work and it wasnt as spacious as the pictures looked but over all it was good. The kids enjoyed it and there was room for everyone. It would be a place to rent again.
4.5
Unclean property
Very unclean property, Shower curtain is very dirty, linens are not clean and there was spots of dirt on them, Garbage disposal does not work. Very dirt entrance. Over all not satisfied with this property and way overcharged

The house was beautiful! It was the perfect size for our group which consisted of 4 couple's and and 5 children. The house was fully stocked with everything we needed from kitchen supplies to toiletries. The outside decks we're where we spent most of our time enjoying the water views. We had a wonderful time and would definitely return.
4.5
Overall, the house is very nice but there were problems with the AC and that caused a terrible leak right at the staircase coming upstairs. The kitchen is NOT equipped for 16 people, there were not enough forks, there are NO big bowls or platters that you would need if cooking for a large crowd. I let the leasing company know that the house was not cleaned well, apparently they are changing companies, so you should check to see who will be maintaining the house!
