Overall we enjoyed the property. There was plenty of room, the beds were very comfortable and the house was clean. Our only disappointment was that there was no beach in front of the house any time of the day. The tide was always up to the lower deck. The staircase to the beach/water shown in the photos did not exist. We had to walk down a couple of house to find any sand/beach. With that said, we still had a great time. The kids had fun in the water, catching crabs and making sandcastles. We had a couple of issues but response from the property managers was quick. The code to the main door did not work when we arrived but they sent a new one within 30 minutes. The lock actually broke midweek and the repair man was there quickly to fix it. The icemaker broke a few days before we arrived but we were told ahead of time so we were able to purchase ice. Other than that we had a great time.

The house was great. The only negative issues were the ice makers did not function and the beach did not match the photos. There was no beach in front of this property; however, we enjoyed our stay.

It was a very nice vacation but the beach in the picture was not there. The tide was very high all week and it is very far from stores. So if you go to Galveston a lot while you're there you will have about 20 to 30 minutes and a $2 toll on the bridge both ways.

Property was very nice and booking and checking in was very easy. Only downfall is the pictures of outside show more beach out in front of the house and alot has been washed away. We still had a great beach on the side of the neighboring house, and we rented a golf cart to drive to a bigger nicer beach a couple of blocks away. Overall great experience.

The Z beach house itself is great. Unfortunately, the outdoor photos of the beach in front of the house are completely inaccurate now. I realize that the hurricane is not the fault of the owners but the outdoor photos that are advertising the home are completely misleading. There is NO beach in front of the house anymore. The house has gulf water flowing up to and under the house at all hours of the day. There is no place to play in the sand except on the side of the house between this house and the neighbors. It was very disappointing for our family. The interior of the house is exactly as shown and we had a pleasant stay. The property managers were very responsive regarding a TV issue that we had and the kids certainly appreciated that! However, the photos of the beach are completely inaccurate and need to be updated.

Listing looked much better than propertyAnd terrible beach Knew could not swim but it’s extremely dangerous and with storm coming we never had any sand at all No wifi whole time Would pick better beach access Old furnishings

We spent a weekend here last fall, and were excited to find an opportunity to come back this summer. It's a roomy house, well equipped, with unquestionably the best beach access anywhere around. The house casts a big shady spot on the beach in the afternoon, making it a pleasant place on even the hottest of days. We look forward to our next visit.

Perfect location

We really enjoyed stepping in right out onto the water. Although we did not read the fine print about swimming, our grandkids were just the right age, running along edge of water, splashing, playing and picking up shells and crabs! House was clean and the space was perfect for all 20 of us! Definitely recommend!!!

We absolutely loved this property. The large rooms, 3 story views are amazing. We saw everything from crabs to pelicans from our back porch. I highly recommend this property for a large family or group.

This house sits right on the water. During high tide you can sit on the bottom deck and have your feet in the gulf. We had a great time here and will be back. Plenty of space for a large family or group.

Wonderful house in a great neighborhood. Steven was extraordinarily helpful. Set up for everything to be easy and fun.

Overall good experience. Property is clean and comfortable

Had a wonderful girl's getaway with 5 family members aged 13 to 79. It was an absolutely fabulous home with more than enough room. Very clean, well stocked, and cute nautical decor! The stairs literally lead right onto the beach. The outside shower with warm water was really nice. It had a picnic table, cleaning station for shells and hands (I guess men might call this a fish cleaning area -- ha ha), hooks for hanging stuff, bins of beach toys, and lots of chairs. We did have to watch the tide tables closely as high tide left no beach in front of the house. Overall, a 5-Star rental. Would highly recommend!

We got lucky - perfect weather, unusually blue water and not a single mosquito in sight. Our biggest lucky break was finding this house. It's a big two story with a broad wrap-around deck on both floors, roomy for our group of 3 couples and a baby, and comfortably equipped (LOVED the big ice maker). It is literally just steps from the water. We eagerly look forward to our next visit here.

We stayed for a long weekend with friends at this house and it was great! As soon as you walk off the back steps you are on the beach. Great location and the house was clean and plenty of space for everyone. Although you cant swim at the beach at this location, we didnt mind and the swim beach was just around the corner for when the kids wanted to go, which was only twice. We would stay here again and recommend it to anyone.

This property was great for our family! You can walk off the porch and have your toes in the sand. It was clean and had all the necessary items needed to make your trip amazing. We will definitely go back!!

This is an awesome property and presents exactly as described. VERY well equipped, just take the food you love for that grill! We so enjoyed our evenings on the deck w/the yummies from it and our favorites wine(s). :) Only thing we found was some details missed in cleaning. I think this is totally on the cleaning company as ceiling fans were dirty, and the kitchen counter had a "film" on it. We wiped everything down and were happier than clams! No big deal. Thank you for the warm welcome, hospitality and beautiful, relaxing home!

What an amazing property! My family of 4 boys just loved it. We fell in love with the whole area! So thankful to find a home that we could take our dogs also. I great trip had by us all!!!

The Z beach house was nothing short of perfection! We wanted lots of room for all the family and we wanted beach front property and the Z house did not disappoint at all. Every detail of our stay exceeded our expectation. The ice machine was so awesome!! The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed . Beds were comfortable. We enjoyed grilling on the deck and watching the beautiful sunrises and sunsets over the water. Neighbors were friendly . Thank you for sharing this beautiful home. We hope to return to make more family memories.

The house was perfect. Everything was in working order, clean and plenty of room for our party of 10. I chose this house so we could have a true Beach House experience and we did just that. Our group spent more time on the beach and near the water than any vacation in recent years. We have two 11-yr olds and they were never bored. Our friends brought their teenagers and they never complained once, it was a great time. The shelling was amazing as well as the crabs our family caught each night. The only drawback was early in the week we had a very strong storm come in which really effected water quality. The current is very strong in front of the house so our kids were only allowed to go knee deep but there is a beach area just around the bend for safer swimming. HOLY MOSQUITOS! At times they were unbearable so we will be better prepared next time. Water and mosquitos are things we can't control so with that I thought this was an awesome experience and thankful we made the 1,000 mile drive to get there!

Everything was perfect. Walking right on to the beach...having a bed for everyone in the family....huge kitchen to cook and enjoy...only thing we missed was a grill. The one here I would be afraid to need a shot if I used it. But it's hard to keep metal nice by the water. ONLY downfall for us. And really, we could of just cooked the burgers on the stove. Best house you'll find on VBRO for the price.

This was an amazing house right on the beach. The beds were comfy and the house was exactly what we wanted and expected. We enjoyed watching the sunrise from the deck outside of the master bedroom and the lower deck was perfect for sipping wine in the afternoon. We enjoyed watching the porpoises and all of the various birds who call the Gulf Coast home. Our time there went by way too fast. We will definitely rent this home again.

Few waterfront rentals are literally ON the beach - this one is and makes it special. We had a great time shelling and playing games in the sand. Bedding is awesome, kitchen well equipped. Could use some additional seating inside and out when you are 8+ guests, which the house can accommodate easily. It’s a haul in to the store, so provision well ahead of time. Going out to eat, it’s closer to Surfside to the South, than Galveston. Thanks fo the memorable stay.

Only pitfall was dryer was broken and now have to go home and spend a day washing. Other than that we will consider renting next year if available. Love the lake cation and the beach!!
