Great property with lots of space for our group. We had a great weekend and really enjoyed the pool!
5.0 / 5.0
Our group, about 18 guys who are friends and family, go deep sea fishing every year and have for 30 years straight. This house was spacious for 18 guys, even the living/dining room and bar we had a ton of elbow room to watch NBA finals on a very large tv. Size, pool, 5 toilets and location to pier was why we selected it. Everyone made comments how well the house worked out.

A few minor issues but nothing that couldn’t be fixed and that kept me and family from having a great time. Property was located near everything.

3.0 / 5.0
Spacious house with pool that accommodated our family well. It’s about a 15 to 20 minute walk to the beach. Walmart and restaurants are close by on the seawall. We do think the house needs to be cleaned better between guests. We had to wash some of the sheets before using them and there was a lot hair in the bathrooms and on the floors in general. Apart from needing to clean the house, we enjoyed our stay overall.

5.0 / 5.0
We enjoyed staying here the night before our cruise. House was plentiful and enough of room for everyone. Location was perfect the only downside to this is we weren’t there long enough to enjoy the pool and surrounding area.
5.0 / 5.0
The property had plenty of room for all guests. We really enjoyed our trip. We were so close to the beach definitely walking distance. My only negative would be we had a large group with small children so it would have been good to have access to a good broom and dustpan or small vacuum to clean up behind them. Other than that small thing we would definitely stay there again!
4.0 / 5.0
It was a nice place with a lot of cool things inside that was great for the kids. Only issues we had was the propane on the back deck for the fire pit was out and we wanted to hangout around it. The beds were also a bit to hard for our personal preference the couch was super soft and very comfortable on both levels. It's a short walk to the ocean and the neighborhood was quiet. If you are traveling with a big group and need a place to stay I'd highly recommend.
4.0 / 5.0
Good location.
Good size for a large group.
Good communication with host.
Overall good, despite a few things that need attention: bathroom tub water drain extremely slow, stain/mold on shower curtain, no closet in all bedrooms except one, microwave low power, washing machine and fryer low power.

We are a large family (17) that came down from Houston to enjoy Dickens on the strand. We had great time! Boise was big enough to accommodate all of and spread out. Parking was great!
5.0 / 5.0
I had the pleasure of staying at Russell’s property, and it was a delightful experience from start to finish. The listing accurately represented the property, with no unwelcome surprises. I was particularly impressed by the cleanliness and comfort that welcomed me, setting a restful tone for my entire stay.
One of the standout features was the property's backyard, complete with a pool. It's a wonderful spot that I'm sure would be perfect for a summer dip—I look forward to returning during warmer weather to enjoy it fully. Additionally, the location is superb, nestled close to the beach for easy access to seaside activities, and conveniently near a Walmart for any quick shopping needs.
Though the property didn't boast out-of-the-ordinary amenities, it did have a charming gaming area that added a fun edge to the evenings. Russell’s responsiveness as a host was also noteworthy; his quick communication made everything run smoothly.
Throughout my stay, I encountered no issues, which speaks volumes about Russell’s attentiveness to his guests. The proximity to both the beach and essential stores like Walmart added layers of convenience to my stay. I wholeheartedly recommend Russell’s property for a comfortable and convenient beach getaway, and I'm already contemplating a return visit—especially to enjoy that alluring pool in the summer!

The property was a great place for our family of 15 to hang out for the night before our cruise. The host was accommodating for sure.

Clean spacious house, pool was just what we needed for the summer heat. Loved that it is literally 1 minute away from beach and loads of stores for a quick run.

5.0 / 5.0
It was my 50th spent with my children, grandchildren, best friend & cousin . I spent every summer on the island as a kid with family so it's home to me. Check in was easy the house was amazing. The cleaning could have been better but we expected to clean to our own standard. There was also a leak in one of the upstairs bathroom but even with all that we loved the house it had so much space for everyone to sleep & move around comfortably we had 10 adults & 3 children. A great kitchen for cooking. My cousin & my friend loved the pool. We were located near everything food,stores & gas & 2 blocks from the seawall & 10 minutes away from my family it was an awesome 2 days. We would definitely do it again right there. Bring fly spray.

We had a good time despite some maintenance/comfort issues. Property is in a good location.
3.0 / 5.0
Property could be nice but it is suffering from lack of upkeep. We had two items that had to be addressed during our stay (AC not cooling and smoke alarm without a battery). We gave the owner a list of 20+ items that need to be addressed.
Bring your own skillet; the only one we found was 6" and it had seen too many trips through the dishwasher. The refrigerator icemaker and coffee maker did not operate properly.
3.0 / 5.0
We enjoyed our time, but there were some inconveniences. Upon arrival we realized the pictures online were misleading. There is only one bathroom for three bedrooms downstairs. While each bedroom upstairs has a bathroom, one was marked as the shower leaking to the kitchen and your knees touch the wall from the toilet. The banisters are NOT kid safe; likely too wide for code. The half bath is actually outside for the pool. The fire pit is broken. Things not clean-dried roaches and contacts on floor. More dust than can be described-under the beds, coating the downstairs air return (which we cleaned), and blown onto the ceiling in the living room. The kitchen is not stocked for cooking-two giant stock pots, a few small pots and a 2 egg skillet. Nothing really suitable for cooking for the 20+ people the house advertises it sleeps. The decking around the pool and back patio need to be repaired-boards not attached, screws sticking out around the pool, the gap between pool edge and decking is close to 6" in some places. While doing dishes the first night, the sink drain sprang a leak all over the floor. The fastener was tightened and checked the following afternoon by maintenance. When we called the 1st time around 5pm, the phone rang and never went to voicemail. We called again and were able to leave a voicemail, which was returned quickly. The beds need to be checked for loose screws. Bedding and towels were good. Read guide before arrival. Everyone we spoke to was pleasant!

Great location and great size for a big group!

A hidden gem! Being so close to the beach was nice, and the pool was awesome too! It's pretty rare to find a house that close to the beach that also has a pool. Really really loved our time here!
5.0 / 5.0
Loved that we could walk to the sea wall from the house. Super convenient beach access, and the home was stocked with toilet paper, laundry soap, dish soap, etc. We had a bad experience with a different owner on Vrbo before, but Russel was awesome and super accommodating. We'll be back!
3.0 / 5.0
Plenty of room but was not cleaned properly at all and a few maintenance issues. If you have small kids the stairs have no safety gates also no gate for the pool so keep that in mind. Did not like that lawn people came and our cars were at risk of flying objects with no warning. There was plenty of room for my large family but the cleanliness was disappointing
5.0 / 5.0
House was just as pictured. The area was great, just a short 5 minute walk to the beach. The cleaning wasn't the best.
5.0 / 5.0
The house is great. The backyard was too! Will definitely be back.
5.0 / 5.0
The backyard area was so cool. The pool and deck were great for hanging out with the family. There is a surprising amount of privacy for a home in the center of Galveston near the beach.
4.0 / 5.0
I booked this house because we had 6 adults and 4 children. We enjoyed the location a lot. The mattresses were great! It is advertised as a 7 bedroom house. One bedroom is actually a converted closet with 2 doors and no windows. The furniture seemed new. With 10 people there were only 6 chairs at the table and 3 chairs at the breakfast bar. I was disappointed that there was no mention that the pool was not heated. We stayed for 3 nights in March, knowing that the weather might be cooler and if the pool was heated, the kids could still enjoy a swim. Unfortunately the pool was quite cold. I probably would have looked elsewhere if I had known. Also, while the unit was very nice it was quite dirty. They need a new cleaning service.
