The home felt great, with plenty of space for everyone. I could move around the kitchen with ease. Salt, pepper, and lots of kitchen utensils and containers were provided. I like how the dining room, living room, and kitchen are all open to each other. The bathrooms had soap, lotion, conditioning shampoo, and toilet paper. The pool seems to be about 4 feet deep the whole way, and we had fun swimming and just hanging out on the deck. There’s a nice outdoor shower to clean off after a beach visit. We did have an issue with the dryer not spinning that wasn’t resolved, but it was fine hanging items on the deck to dry in the sun. I swept the floor daily because the tile just picks up sand and dirt, but that’s to be expected. Overall, I would recommend this home. Though we just had our immediate family, you can fit a lot of people in here.

Upon arrival the outside of the home did not reflect advertised pictures of home, the pool was dirty with leaves, dirt, and algae and the television in the guest house had a busted screen. We tried to do our laundry on the first evening and realized the dryer didn’t work, so we spent the entire week having to lay our clothes out around the house to dry. On the second morning of waking up, one of the bedrooms had a large water pocket in the ceiling and water leaking through the window.. we notified management of the dryer and water leak immediately, they did nothing. The water pocket busted open mid morning and continued to leak the entire week making that bedroom unusable. We moved the bed and furniture out of the way to prevent it being ruined. We continued to reach out to management throughout the week to get these issues fixed and they would not respond. Definitely a 0/10 for the 8 of us. We do not recommend this place or beach box rentals.

We canceled our trip due to what was predicted from Hurricane Beryl. Just hours after we canceled, the Mayor of Galveston announced for voluntary evacuation. Flooding of the island was predicted and warnings were throughout area. We were not willing to risk three families safety. Results of development devastation included power outages throughout 70% of the island. Russell Griffin’s response is that we follow cancellation policy (30 day notice). We are now trying to work directly through VRBO to possibly get a reasonable refund. Our VRBO experience in Branson Missouri was amazing for a last minute detour of our trip! The kids enjoyed the sunny, sandy beach at Table Rock Lake! To be continued…

My husband and I travelled with our adults kids and grandkids. This property was perfect for us with space to hang out and bedrooms for all. Even better, we were in close proximity to the beach and restaurants. Great communication from Russell made for easy in and out. No hassles, just a relaxing time!

We stayed here with two other families for the June 2024 Beach Blitz Soccer Tournament. The house was bigger than expected, clean, and had everything we needed. The pool was great for the boys after their games and the host was very responsive to our questions. We would definitely book this place again!

We enjoyed both the houses and the location. The house was perfect for our big family. Great location to the beach, park, froyo, and shopping.

We loved the space and how big it was. The cleaning could have been a bit better. There was sand and rocks in the bathrooms/ toilet. Smudges on the mirrors and for some reasons the picture frames were placed on the beds when we arrived. We would definitely come back to stay.
10.0
The house was perfect for our family, such a great location. Russel was fabulous and responded right away. He was so accommodating when we arrived early to Galveston and helping us to extend our trip. My only complaint was the shower/water system. There was very little to no water pressure in the master bath and we could not seem to get the water to warm up as well as we could not get the tub to drain properly. The guest house shower also has very little water pressure. We will definitely rebook the property.

The house is bigger than the pictures make it look. We had so much space! The house is in a great neighborhood within walking distance to the Seawall. The host was great to work with, very attentive and fast at responding.

We were in town for a three day weekend and this house worked great for our family of 5! Check in was smooth, communication from the owner was great, the house was in a good location, we had plenty of space and everything we needed. We would definitely stay here again!

This quaint little place was perfect for my family. We had a group of 8 adults and 3 minors. It was decorated beautifully. The little house in the back was awesome. Would stay again.

We stayed there for my daughter’s cheer competition and loved the place. We will most definitely be staying there again. The host was very responsive to all our questions.

Large house and very accommodating to our family needs. Our family is large and had a comfortable place to sleep. The house is conveniently located between attractions restaurants and gas stations.
8.0
Plenty of room and amenities to make the stay fun. There was room for up to 10 people, we had six and stayed very comfortably.
We were close to the beach, restaurants and relaxation. We would stay in this house again.
Unfortunately the host didn't send us the information for entry into the property in they expected time frame. We had to call twice and email asking for this information before we could get into the house. I'm hoping they have fixed that glitch by now.
There were a few issues with all three bathrooms, primarily water pressure and water drainage. But I'm sure the host has resolved those by now. Plus the bathroom in the guest house behind the main house does need a door or curtains for privacy.

We just had a quick overnight stay for an event the next day but the place was great and the kids (2 and 4) absolutely loved it, they didn't want to leave!
8.0
We really enjoyed the property. We spent Thursday thru Sunday here as we were attending a wedding in the area.
We had a few issues that were handled promptly. Nothing major but still cause for concern. Mainly because it is a beach area the plumbing was a little ify at times.
I would have given 5 stars had we not had those issues. Overall our family enjoyed the dual houses and pool. Plenty of space for all of us.
6.0
The host was very helpful but the overall stay was somewhat disappointing. The lock box wouldn't open when we arrived (until I finally had to pry it open), porch light wasn't on so we were using our flashlights just to get inside, not very welcoming to guests. The house was full of dead bugs, then all the living bugs came out of the sink & out from under the coffee maker . . this is why we spent the majority of out time away from the house & only came back each night to sleep. The house itself was cute & had more than enough room for our family . . however, next time I will spend the extra money & stay in a nicer house.
2.0
The property itself was nice, but we did have roaches everyday we were there in the kitchen, they seemed to be coming in and out of the coffee maker, and then there was a Texas size roach in the main bathroom. I have never been to a property that does not have a dresser or hangers for you to unpack your clothes...also the main bath tub did not drain properly so we would be standing in water that covered our feet. I have also never been to a property that does not have a place for you to store your dry foods...there was no food pantry or regular every day spices(salt, pepper)....and the 2nd bedroom had NO closet at all to put up their clothes....and they provided NO extra linens and I have been staying in homes for 12 years for summer vacations and this house had no guest book to write in about their stay or to tell future guest on cool things to do in the area. Although the house was nice on the inside the neighborhood was terrible....not what I was expecting at all! And the front door was very hard to open...me and 2 of my guest each hurt our fingers trying to open the door...I think the doorknob was just too close to the frame...and as far as the guest house in the back...it was great except that it also had roaches in the kitchen as well. I will not be staying at this property again and would not recommend it to my friends or family

The house was perfect for our large family. The WiFi was out the entire time we were there, which was disappointing. We would definitely rent this home again!
10.0
The AC was nice and cool when we first walked in. We LOVED the open space LR/Kitchen layout. The place is small, but somehow there are also many places to hang out and plenty of room for guests to sleep comfortably. The location had two areas out back to hang out & we loved the little guest house too! We could tell that the owners really put in some TLC when decorating- they achieved a super chill yet festive vibe. My MIL commented several times how much she loved the decorating! The kitchen had all utensils etc., we didn't need to buy anything. The house is located near the seawall and is also nice and quiet, a cute neighborhood. Would stay here again for sure!

This house was perfect for what we were looking for! A cute little home near the beach that we used mainly to sleep in after we went to the beach and had a nice dinner at Nicks Seafood on the Seawall.

I chose this place because of the large open area to entertain my extended family. And it did not disappoint. Professionally ran staff.

It was a great place to stay. We went to Galveston to celebrate my daughter’s birthday. The girls stayed in the guest house while the moms stayed in the main house. It was the perfect amount of space and privacy for everyone while still having enough room for all 8 of us to hang out together as well.

We only stayed one night ! But the owner communicated with me throughout the stay ! I would stay at residence again if we came back to Texas

We stayed here for one night before our cruise took off on Thursday. Overall location of house was nice 6 min walk to the beach. Pictures from listing were correct. The host gave us a early check in and also let us check out 30 mins later.
There were some things not communicated to us. The back window in the back room was completely broken and also covered with card board box. This was a safety hazard and I do feel like we should of been notified before arriving.
We had some issues with dirty stains on head board in master room. Make up and lip stick Stains on pillow cases and bedding like they weren’t washed from the previous stay and seemed as if they only changed the sheets. Other than that our stay was great for the short period of time we were there.

It’s so spacious for a big family and close to everything. Close to the beach and everything.

Good afternoon, our stay was discussed and decided on mutually, Loved the home overall but due to fact of being 6 seniors ages 62-76 there were NO TV'S in the MASTER OR 1st bed rooms, the seating was uncomfortable, and the Mattresses............... If you are only providing a single mattress on Beds at least make if Comfortable ones.
