This was our second year to stay here for a family vacation over the summer. We asked to check in early for Father’s Day and were allowed to no questions asked. The home was clean and had all the necessities. It even had an upgrade, a small mini fridge for beach drinks was added next to the main kitchen fridge. We will absolutely book this home again. The owner is responsive and nice, and the location is unbeatable. You just walk right out onto the beach.

Just as advertised, this house is well appointed and decor is very nice. Beds were comfy. Proximity to town cannot be beat. The decks are very nice. They look brand new. And the view of the beach is exceptional and not crowded at all. We had a little bit of trouble with the door lock upon check-in, but manager was available to help. At check-out, after locking up 10 minutes before our check-out time, we tried to get back in for a quick once-over to make sure we had not left anything. -- the lock would not let us back in. I understood that it was on a timer, so the timer clock needs a little adjusting. The only somewhat-major issue we had was the that refrigerator seemed to cool on and off. After reporting it to the manager, a smaller refrigerator was provided. The fees were really much higher than other similar houses I have rented, and I thought that the requirement to unload the dishwasher was unreasonable. If that requirement were dropped, and the fees were brought more in alignment of other similar houses, I might consider renting this again.

The house is very pretty and well appointed. Plenty of nice dishes and flatware for our group. The extra fees were significant, the list of chores to do more than average - for example, wash all dishes AND put away, and the property said it was pet friendly, charged a pet fee, then included restrictions such as not allowing the pet upstairs. There were two sets of house rules that contradicted each other. We've been renting beach houses for years here and enjoyed many happy times in Galveston. This property is not one we'll come back to because it feels like a property run by an investment group with property management that tries so hard to cover its own assets it treats guests as unwelcome.

This beach house is perfectly located. Between the steps to the beach, and a short drive into town, it worked well for our base camp. Plus each of us had our own bathroom. Check in was easy too. Highly recommend!! My only beef was having to strip our beds before we left. I believe the cleaning fee (3 Benjamin’s and 1 grant)(vrbo would not allow me to quote the exact fee!) should cover this easily.

We had a wonderful visit . House was perfect for us and our adult children along with our two grand kids .

Everything was great except the lock, we used the key, the light switches for living room and lights over kitchen table and the door knobs to the outside balconies. Overall however very pleased and will rent agaun

The location to the beach is perfect. Great for little kids because there isn’t any wait from the beach house to the beach. It makes set up/take down of tents, chairs ect very convenient. The fridge wasn’t very cool but a maintenance man came the day we called to fix it and it got much cooler so very responsive property manager. Would rent again.

Eleven people, ages 5-78, stayed for four days. Everything we needed was there. We especially enjoyed the two porches. Good location—fairly close to town.

We had a really bad experience with a VRBO house a year ago, so we checked in with a little trepidation. Traffic into Galveston was lighter than expected, so we arrived early. No problem, the management team arranged to open up the house for us so we could begin our stay. It's a new house and it was delivered to us clean as a whistle. The Wifi works, the cable TV works, the kitchen is well equipped, the air-conditioning works and best of all the house is literally 50 feet from a no car beach. What's wrong with the house? If I was going to nitpick, I'd ask the architect why they chose to put the light and fan switches for the bathrooms on the outside wall of the space, but that's it really. Oh, the location of the house. It's as close to the end of the Seawall as you can get in a beach front house. No long drives for groceries and ice.

Villa Azul is beautiful, well-appointed and in a fantastic location!! My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay there! The home is well-stocked with cookware and spices, as well as plenty of towels and blankets! The views are beautiful, and the outdoor spaces are great!!

The host has thought of absolutely everything you may need during your stay! There were plenty of towels and blankets. The kitchen is well equipped with any cooking and servingware you may need. The beach is right in your backyard. Everything in the house was clean and modern. We will definitely be staying at Villa Azul again.

This is a gorgeous home on a gorgeous beach. Our entire family had a delightful time and we would happily stay here again.

Really enjoyed the stay!

Our family had a wonderful time, with the location right off the beach. The house was really well organized with each person having their own room and space to chill and enjoy the summer breeze. Just recommend that more trash bags be provided for future renters.

Villa Azul was perfect for our multigenerational end of summer get away. The house has a magnificent layout. With beautiful views of the ocean from windows and decks. The hosts have thought of everything you’ll need for a beach vacation board games, a fully appointed kitchen, beach towels, deck furniture to sit and enjoy the breezes off of the ocean, even little things like soap and shampoo! The house has two amazing bunk rooms to choose from. They were perfect for kids and adults. Extra large washer and dryers were extremely useful allowing us to wash beach towels and bathing suits each day. Everything was so well thought out. We had everything we needed at our fingertips. The home is located on a private beach but we were so close to everything! We would highly recommend staying at Villa Azul!

We enjoyed our stay. The home was convenient and absolutely beautiful

This house is really nice! Very nicely appointed, clean, with a really well laid out floor plan. Still very new but had zero issues. Communication with the host was excellent and the check-in process was a breeze. House has a backyard that backs up to the beach. Vehicle access to the beach is a block away. Has a gas grill, beach gear, and plenty of parking under the house and driveway (at least 5 cars). This will go on my short list for future stays on the Island!
