We stayed in Galveston second week of July. This review has nothing to do with the hurricane that we were in. The house was somewhat clean. The upstairs looks like it had not been vacuumed because there were still little spurs in the carpet. We found a T-shirt in the garbage disposal. There were no toilet paper holders in the bathrooms. Something had been spilled in the freezer in a not been cleaned up. We chose to stay in the house during the hurricane and being without power. That was fine. However, the property manager only sent one email and never checked in on us overall we gave this house three out of five stars .

The Door needs fixing very hard to push open. The handle broke off and had issues getting the TVs working but maintenance was there in a very short time and took care of the issues. He was very professional and knowledgeable about what he was doing.

The property was stocked with everything we needed to have a great 4 day weekend. Great space for my family of 13. The location was outstanding with immediate access to the beach.

Having all 16 of us under one roof was amazing. Waking up to the ocean out our front door was beautiful. The house did have enough plates, silverware and cups for 16 people. The linen fee was a bit ridiculous. I've never stayed at a VRBO without sheets, towels, kitchen towels or toilet paper!

I mean this is the perfect spot for a quick family vacation! The beach was clean and literally a 1 minute walk!
Also the house was clean and had enough beds for everyone. We really enjoyed our stay!

One of my favorite beach houses to rent! I just love this house. We have a toddler and a kid with us this time and we wish maybe you guys can put a gate at the top of the stairs. But overall we will definitely go back!

Nine girlfriends stayed the weekend. The view as amazing@ Plenty of room for all of us. Home was clean, well stocked with dishes/cookware. Only had one issue upon arrival and maintenance responded immediately. Check in and check out was easy and the ladies at Swede's are friendly and helpful for suggestions on what to do on the island. Will definitely use them again.

Swedes staff is friendly, professional, and courteous. This beach house is in a great location, with a beautiful beach view, only steps from the beach access road. Very roomy, comfortable furniture, well appointed kitchen, This was our Thanksgiving get away, and the spacious, wide open family room/dining room kitchen area was perfect. Only took a few minutes to get to the Big Store and savor some great seafood at Stingaree. Thank you, Gypsy Sol, for a much needed, relaxed holiday with family.

This is our second stay here. We love the location and the space of the cabin. While big and roomy, it is an older cabin, outside maintenance isn't top notch(i had to clean windows to see outside and deck furniture before sitting on it)The inside is good, except for the same thing I complained about before, grass burs are thick in carpet in bedrooms so you cant go barefooted in there. And bring silverware! There are plenty of utensils to cook with but 1 spoon and 2 forks. lol.But we will definitely stay again..

The location of the house is the best so far. Rooms are very spacious. I really love how you can see the beach throughout the living room, dining room and kitchen. The master bedroom with private balcony is just one of the best part of the house. Overall the house was great! I only have one tiny issue. When we got there, the floor was kinda dirty and the countertops . Please upgrade your cleaning tools: like the vaccume and broom. It was really hard for us to clean the house because the vaccum is very hard to work with. Other than that definitely will be back!

Front row beach house with 5 bedrooms. We brought our tiny dog with us. You could definitely tell this was a pet friendly house. It had an odor and the carpets were very dirty. We have been coming to Crystal Beach for 50 years and stayed in many Swede’s rentals, and have been very pleased with our accommodations each stay. Sadly this was not the case with the Gypsy Sol.

Okay
The floor was quite dirty upon arrival. The overall is nice and a good location. The other irritating thing is linens. There is an extra charge for linens. And it does not state this in the listing. This charge should be included in the nightly price. Feels like you are getting nickel and dimed.

Nice place, but needs a small refresh. Before I get to the negatives, I would still recommend!The location and house were very nice but you can tell this is a income property only. The internet didn't work, and I notified Swedes multiple times, only to ultimately be ignored. This put a damper on my stay because i had work to do while there, and wasn't able to do anything. And yes, we did everything tech told us to do! (my husband is very electronically savvy so it wasnt as simple as unplugging and re-plugging in the router). The remotes are also not functional; we bought new batteries and everything. Also, the dishes need to have a glance over. A lot of the coffee cups and dishes were cracked or broken (imagine coffee leaking everywhere). Other basic things needed in this house are a cutting board, and scissors.Everything else was satisfactory. If i could recommend a gate being installed on the balcony going to the stairs, this would be huge since this is a pet friendly property and we were traveling with very little kids.

Great location
Nice house. Everything you need is there. We didn't use the linen service we just brought our own. Wifi was spotty but I think that was from a wind storm they had previously. We had a great time and will definitely be back

Great view and walking access to beach
Great location, but lacking in the following:
1. Cleanliness - the house is dirty
2. House is not stocked with anything to include, TP, paper towels or garbage bags. Forget anything else.
3. If you want sheets, towels, wash cloths, hand towels kitchen towels you MUST request the linen package and it comes at a high cost. You will also have to make and strip your own bed. Also, if you want blankets or pillows that do not smell, you must bring your own.
4. The high speed internet is available, but not at this house because they do not have the appropriate equipment. So wifi is spotty at best. If you need to do any work, you need to bring a "hot spot".
5. The management was good. The issues are we had to contact the management numerous times for no wifi, no water etc.
I use VRBO a lot for both business and pleasure. I have never experienced a property that was so dirty and that had no paper products or garbage bags. Additionally, I have never had to make my bed or pay for my linens.

Weekend Gathering
First off this property was beautiful. From the theme of the house up to the cleanliness it was an amazing stay for my family and friends. It was very windy this weekend so we couldn’t enjoy the beach as much but the warm feeling in the house brung us all together. I was impressed and so was my family. Will be coming back again for sure.

Wonderful wedding weekend at the Gypsy Sol!
The house was amazing, location was ideal and the set up was perfect for our small family wedding. Everything was just as described and the Team at Swedes Real-estate was great. Thank you so much! My wedding was perfect!!

Property is in a great location, but needs deep cleaning bad.
This place has a great view and close access to the beach. The downfall is that this house really needs to have a deep cleaning done. Found molding in the upstairs bedroom and bathroom. The house does have a musty smell. I was not made aware of the extra cost of linens and towels when I booked this property, so unfortunately when we checked-in late at night the beds had no sheets and bathrooms had no towels. My family was not very happy after a 10 1/2 hour drive. We did have a issue with the stove but maintance was able to fix the issue.

Fun for all
The inside of the home was surface clean, but could use a deep clean. Many of the air vents smelled extremely musty or like mildew. There were some minor deferred maintenance items such as missing cabinet knobs and dirty windows. Overall, we had a good stay and enjoyed the property. Proximity to the ocean was nice and the underneath parking and shower were great. A dumbwaiter would have been icing on the cake! Thank you.
