This property must have been photographed years ago! It is listed as a "Premier Property" and it just did not meet up to those expectations.... couch in main living room is actually coming apart. .kids were afraid to sleep in bunk beds because of missing slats...toilets continually stopping up (wondered why there were plungers in every bath room!?) Bottom of dishwasher was in pieces! Tub in one of masters is NOT for bathing...it is a hot tub for two people with faucets against back wall so you have to climb in just to turn on water...definitely not suitable for older adults. I actually hate giving this house a bad review, because it has good bones and great location, but just isn't maintained well .....

This was the 6th time we have stayed at this house. It works well for our extended family get together. The beach is always in good shape and this year there has been some furniture updates that was nice. My only suggestion would be to replace/repair the dishwasher and ice maker.

Comfortable, well located, adequate. Property needs some TLC, e.g., loose fixtures, uneven window shades, warped deck boards, inadequate flatware for large group, broken glass tiles on dining room floor.

We are a blended family and had a large group to accommodate. The house was extremely comfortable, the kitchen perfect for cooking for a big group, the bedrooms pretty and private. The house looks exactly like the photos. The view of the ocean is beautiful and the water is just steps from the back deck. We had a service deliver chairs and a canopy to our beach every morning and it was just perfect. The location is great as it’s not too far from downtown Galveston and there are also a few really good restaurants nearby. Waterman’s and Coopers were both very good with excellent fresh seafood. The house is also a very short walk down the beach from a fun beachside bar; the Tipsy Turtle, where several of our young adult children would go for a drink and a few hours of fun. All in all it was a much better location than staying further down the island. We will definitely be back and won’t hesitate to stay here again!

Best beach location I’ve ever had. However, property is sorely in need of some TLC and some disclaimers on the description. Ice maker not working; Viking stove ovens don’t work, grill and griddle don’t work. Draperies in main floor bedrooms are sad!! Two plastic chairs on deck are broken and should be trashed before someone gets hurt. Worst of all is the dishwasher, the bottom rack is in several pieces making it difficult to say the least to load. If the location hadn’t been perfect I would have asked for a discount.

We had a wonderful experience and the house was perfect- right on the beach. The leasing company was very attentive- though we had a frustrating problem that the maintenance man didn’t fix- the smoke alarm would go off. ALL 3 days we were there we had an alarm going off briefly at a horrible hour! On our last day, it went off at 4:30 and 5:00am! But besides that frustration, it was fabulous!

Nice property and great location!

Our family of 17 spent Easter weekend at Paradise At Last and it was absolutely perfect! The house was a comfortable fit for 5 adult couples and 7 children.

This home was perfect, so close to the beach. Wonderful size, the kitchen was dreamy, so close to town, quiet, great location, just perfect. Unforgettable memories and a beautiful time with family, is what this home is about.

We had an enjoyable visit to Galveston! Wonderful location close to the action but far enough away to enjoy the beach peacefully.

We had 5 couples and 4 children 8-12 years old stay a week. Everyone had a bed, it didn't feel crowded. It was wonderful having the 2 decks right on the beach. The old folks could sit on the deck and watch everyone playing. I initially felt it was over priced but after our wonderful stay I'd do it again.

We take a trip in Feb (to Galveston) every year to celebrate birthdays. It is 4 couples and kids (8 adults, 8 kids, 7 -17). If you want to stay on the beach, the location is perfect. A little away from the seawall so quieter, right on the beach, direct access. The deck overlooking the beach is amazing and I would think, GREAT, in the summer. The house was clean and obtaining the key and access was efficient and a smooth process. We also liked all the bedrooms and bathrooms, so each family had their own. Those are all the good. The improvements needed.... For the price, the house is run down and worn. The bunk room and trundle bedroom are sterile and dingy. These are the things that did not work in the kitchen - the ice maker, the trash compactor (not that we would use it, but why keep another broken appliance in the house?), one of the two oven compartments, half the burners on the stove. The temp in the house is hard to control with the double living room (tall ceiling) and no blinds. The heater was blowing so hard on the main floor bedrooms to regulate the double living room, it made sleeping on the main floor almost unbearable. The living room is a wall of windows facing the ocean. While beautiful, it is blinding in the morning (they should install motorized shades on at least the top windows). The upstairs was just as bad, the kids bunk room was very hot. They should put fans in the bunk room and trundle room. The couch in the living room is worn down and felt dirty to sit on, like years of wear and tear. The house needs a refresh and get the kitchen in full working order before we would consider this property again. Even with the pristine location, the broken appliances, wear and tear of furniture and the heating issue, we would not stay again, nor recommend this property. Also, ask for the rules before renting. There is a long list of them and the constant reminders of them, through email, was off putting. The property manager was efficient to work with and nice. But for the price, there were too many cons to make this a repeat location for us.

Even though the weather was not ideal, the house was a great place for my family and I to have some time away! Would recommend to others!

For the first time since covid started our whole family was able to gather for a long awaited family reunion. This property was the perfect place. There is ample space and the house was spotless on arrival. It is literally on the beach and the sound of the waves crashing 24/7 was incredible. Thank you for helping us to create very special memories.

Just the perfect few days with friends, great house, great location, everything you need to have a great time

Our family throughly enjoyed this beautiful beach home for the thanksgiving holiday. There were 18 of us and we never crowded at all. The house was sparkling clean and the location is amazing. You are literally on the beach the moment you step off of the stairs. We truly appreciate the owners sharing their beautiful home with us and can’t wait to return!

Great for large family gatherings. Superior construction. Kitchen appliances were professional quality. Nice bedrooms and baths. The only negative for a property of this caliber were the broken plastic deck chairs and not enough cushions for the hard wood and iron deck seating.

I rent this home twice a year. One with family and one with a bunch of old ladies. It is ideal, especially having 2 master bedrooms with baths on lower floor to cut down on stair climbing.

The property was great; however, there was a serious gas line leak that interrupted our stay and the communication with host was minimal. The Plummer came out and insisted that it was not safe to stay home in the home. Mr Rooter showed me the leak and the foul gas smell was everywhere. We had to evacuate the property… and we still had family on the way. There was no gas to cook or wash ourselves. Our vacation was a shambles! Our feelings led from disappointment to anger. We had to find other options for our family members and financial support for other places to stay; and, It was a consuming nightmare! I finally received a call from the host’s emergency people telling us to evacuate the house without any consideration for what we were going to do for all of our family members. It was a disappointing time. We waited around with the help of the Texas gas service!for the rest of our family to arrive. He, The Texas Gas employee kept apologizing for the dangerous leak and stated it would be safe while he worked on it — and blaming it on the Plummer… ughhh! The person who spoke with me stated that they would give us a full refund on Monday. We lost our bride and groom’s experience for over 30 hours of our stay— the majority of our stay. It would be an expectation that the owners of a home that is rented out to vacationers would be fully inspected at a minimum — twice a year. THAT IS NOT TOO MUCH TO ASK!!!!!

Had a reunion of 12 women getting together after 30 years. We did need some of the beds made. Which is not much of a complaint!! Great beach, very secluded specially Mon, Tues., Wed.

The property was fantastic and laid out very well. Steps off the front deck right down to the private beach. The Tipsy Turtle is a short beach walk away. We would absolutely stay here again!

Great location, it is 1 hour from downtown Houston! It is on one of the best beaches we have been to in Galveston. The house is right on the beach and deck is perfect for hanging out after the long day at the beach. We had 5 couples and we had plenty of space to cook each night and then enjoy the sunsets! The only thing we had a complaint about was that as mentioned in the other reviews they need to replace some light bulbs, but other than that we loved the house and we will be going back for sure.

The house was spacious, clean and comfortable. We had a wonderful time!

Second time staying, awesome once again. 5 dads, 5 boys. Great spot. (But the dish washer and ice maker needs some help).

We enjoyed the layout of the house and ample space for twelve family members. We especially enjoyed the kitchen with the viking appliances. The view is spectacular and the short distance to the beach was appreciated!!

Excellent!

Loved the property and had a great time. However, many lights were still out even though the agency emailed they were aware of that, even before our arrival. The back door locks did not work. As previous guests have stated, general maintenance is past due. However, I still recommend the property for a large group. We will consider returning.

Plenty of room for extended family. Nice to be right on the beach and plenty of deck space to lay out.

This is a beautiful home right on the beach. The house is very nice but is sorely lacking in some simple maintenance issues. Lots of lightbulbs out, several doors would not latch, Icemaker at island did not work. We were told we would be sent the code by 3 PM to get into the house via text as well as email. That did not happen we had to call the office at 3:15. Also the information says parking for four cars only. This drive way easily holds seven cars so there is no need to leave cars at the business office. They should make people aware of that.

The house was fantastic. I little cosmetic flaws but for being fight on the beach you can't complain. Will be renting agian.

Enjoyed having two master suites, several bathrooms for a large group and very close proximity to the beach. Nice back deck to enjoy the beach without even getting sandy.

Once I found this property, no other house compared. My family and I were very pleased. The layout of the house is great and it easily accommodated our group of 16 family members. We loved being right on the beach. Everything worked as it should. Great location, great property, we didn't want to leave!
