Our third visit to this lovely home and it won’t be our last. The view is amazing, the layout of the home is nice, the owner responds promptly.

Based on the reviews, I was hopeful that Ocean Front Beach House would be a great end-of- summer vacation spot for my family of 5. The reviews give it an 8.8 for cleanliness, but it's not at all clean with decades of dust and grime and mold covering the walls, vents, stair rails, light switches, and door frames. The reviews suggest that the house had been updated. Both bathrooms have had a minor, DIY refresh with builder grade materials. It was not well done and has not been maintained well based on the gross, moldy gunk in the corners of the showers and door tracks. There are a ton of dirty, hand-me-down kitchen tools crammed in the dirty drawers, but nothing is worth using. There were only 6 mismatched bath towels, but only 3 of all other towels; and there was nowhere to hang towels to dry to use again. Everything in this house is a mix of yard sale finds and home goods from Wal-Mart. The tv was way too small for the room and there was no option for basic, local tv. The card/game drawer was crammed full of old, mismatched games with missing pieces. The outdoor spaces in this house are also mostly unusable. The ground floor lacked any personality or comfortable furniture, and the flies were ridiculous. And without anything to shield the sun, the upstairs decks were worthless too. Every square inch of this house needs a lot of attention - deep cleaning, repairs, updates, and all new furnishings. We actually cut our losses and left a day earlier than scheduled.

This property has it all - great house with great views, perfect location, and access to the beach. We stayed for a week and wished that we could have stayed longer. Plenty of kitchen utensils if you want to cook in, or, some pretty good restaurants close by - West End Marina, Nate's, Coopers Landing. We at at all of them and would readily go back to all three. The beach was awesome - right in front of the property it gets a little congested, but walk either East or West and it feels like you have the whole beach to yourself. No complaints about the property nor the location.

This was a fantastic house. Great beach access and the beach was not as crowded as other areas. We loved relaxing on the balconies and listening to the ocean. My kids did choose this house based on the pictures online, and the house has been updated since then. The house is absolutely gorgeous, and the updates are very beautiful.

We stayed here last week with our 13 y/o daughter (she absolutely loved the loft space!)... house was more than advertised with updated bathrooms since the listing. Kitchen fully appointed, patios were perfect, and so nice to have a live fireplace for Spring break chills, especially in the master! The windows and high ceilings make the space feel huge. The beach was beautiful and steps away... if you want a little busy it's there sometimes, if you want more private beach it's just steps away to the left... perfect. Host was responsive to any concerns...we'll absolutely be back.

We loved our stay at your beach house. Perfect distance from town. Very quiet area. Was a bit worried being near a public beach entrance, but we hardly saw any one on the beach during our stay. Very nice peaceful stay. We loved the views. The beds were very comfortable. We cooked and washed clothes. Easy to park. All was good. Would definitely stay again!!

Overall a nice property and a good location. Approximately 20 mins from being in Galveston. Two of the three bedrooms are upstairs, and one of those is a open loft. We had an issue with the oven, but the property manager was prompt to respond.

This was just the house we needed for a relaxing get away with friends. The location is prime with a short walk to the beach. Beautiful sunrises and sunsets, quiet neighbors and we even saw a rabbit chilling by the dune grasses yesterday! The house is very clean and we slept very well, loved our master bath with modern shower. Host Don was easy to communicate with and very informative, looking forward to staying here again!

This property had 2 king size beds and 1 queen. They were good and comfortable. The views were beautiful. I would recommend and we will be back. We rent every year and this was a great one. No problem so we didn't have to contact anyone.

Great location, 30 minutes from the Strand and downtown. There’s a public parking lot for beach access right in front of the house so if you’re there on the weekend you’ll have a lot of people watching to do. The house itself is great, clean, lighting is nice, patio below the house to hang out on, one patio on the first floor of the house and a large balcony on the top floor as well. The neighbors to the left when they are there, don’t want you to park are their grass. They’re pretty easy to tick off so if they’re watch out. Overall great place, we had a fun time.

Considering the price I paid for 4 nights my expectations were high. Unfortunately we had several small problems which added up. We had to request the lock box information the day of. During our stay we encountered some issues such as not enough towels for 6 people we had enough for 4, I ended up doing several loads of laundry daily for the towels. we asked for more and was told they were in a cabinet with extra papertowels which also were not there. There was old food from the previous occupants in the fridge, the house had a spoiled smell, we also had 2 cockroaches we had to kill as well. The final piece was the photos, the photos showed an empty beach which for the price I thought was private. The beach is actually a public entrance where all the vehicles can park on the beach and on saturday there were so many people. I paid a hefty price for privacy and quiet which there was none of. The house also needs an update for the price that was paid as well.

The house is so much more than what we expected. The views were beautiful. The house was spacious enough for three teenagers. The bed were very comfortable. There was everything we needed to make a few meals. The only issue we had was the neighbor scolding us for the trash cans sitting on the street but other than that, it was a relaxing and peaceful stay.

We spent a great week in this house that is right on the gulf. It had everything we needed. It was my husband and I, our son, his wife plus their 4 yr old and 1 year old. The only negative was the oven didn't work and we had packed food planning to use it.

We enjoyed the location of the home and the views. The stocked items were not available as listed and owner did not respond to our emails. Home needed a deep cleaning around ceiling fans and vents. Our bathroom towels were folded damp and needed to be put back in dryer before use.
