Overall the house was perfect for our. Smiley reunion m. The family loved the house. There was plenty of places to sleep for the 27 that stayed the night and more than enough room for the 52 total that showed up on Saturday.

My kids loved that there were two different game rooms as my bigs played card games and pool and then my littles used the arcade games. This place had a ton of room for everyone and I liked that it had the cowboy pool, so we did not always have to go down to the beach. We can't wait to stay here again next year

I loved this home! The driveway had room for all our cars and the home had room for the kids to play and us adults to relax. Loved the cowboy pool. The pool table was relaxing to use at night and the homes area felt safe most importantly.

We loved this house! This house had enough room for my family/friends and I while not all being crammed on top of each other. We loved the game room areas and hung out in there a lot. The area was also nice and felt safe. Would definitely stay again!

When we arrived to the property there were flying Nats EVERYWHERE.There were dead bugs in every bed and the bath tubs.flooring was coming up in many places in the room where the pool table is and to top it off we thought the BBQ pit was usable but it has a big hole in the bottom of it.I rented this property because it was big enough to accommodate my family for my Wedding Anniversary and I’m simply not satisfied.

This is the perfect place for a large group. The spaciousness of the house was amazing. Kids had plenty of room inside and out of the house to have fun with their friends. Parents would stay up late laughing. Aside from a few structural obstacles, I would highly recommend this house. We look forward to our next trip to Galveston.

Property had regular sewage smell that we reported but was never attended to. Had lights not working in the game room and other places and we messaged the host and they sent people to fix the lights - they came, left to get parts, and never came back. One of the days it rained and there was multiple water leaks in the ceiling coming through the light fixtures, one of the listing pictures shows a hot tub and there is no hot tub, cleaners were late leaving after the 4pm check in, several broken cabinets and drawers in the kitchen, ping pong table is half broken, not nearly enough towels for the advertised amount of people that it can host, floors are warped in many places, darts for dart board are broken, several soft spots on the deck and broken deck board at bottom of the stairs with exposed nails, closet doors off the hinges in the upstairs jack and jill room, no broom or vacuum to be found. I messaged the host Beach Box several times and they were typically good at responding to emails, but none of these issues got physically resolved. I reported all of these issues prior to us leaving the facility and requested a partial refund for our difficulties and false advertising and host said they would have to check with the owner of the property. I have followed up three times with the host and have not heard back about them approving or not approving our request. Overall, this property was not as expected for the price we paid and would recommend this property undergo repairs.
