Be very cautious renting this house from Russell, he does NOT abide by VRBO’s posted policies. We were scheduled to stay at this property from 7/9 – 7/15 for a Dance competition in Galveston. Unfortunately a hurricane hit right before our arrival. The competition we planned to attend was going ahead as scheduled despite the storm so we were still making the trip. We are from South Louisiana and are very aware of how much a hurricane can affect an area so I was not surprised when Russell contacted me and said we could NOT check-in to his property. I was understanding of the situation having been in hurricane damaged areas myself. I asked if it was possible for a later day check-in so we could still make the competition. After not receiving a response we were forced to pull out of the competition. Due to the storm, VRBO has instituted their “Extenuating Circumstances Policy” which states that the property owner “Must refund the guest in full if they have not checked in to their reservation”. Despite the fact that he cancelled my reservation, Russell has refused to refund any of my Rental Payment, telling me to contact my travel insurance. In addition to him being the one who cancelled my reservation, the final invoice he sent for the rental states “Cancellation Policy: According to the cancellation policy on VRBO.” Apparently this is not the case and this owner follows his own policy despite stating the opposite on his invoice. I highly recommend looking and staying elsewhere.

Great location lots of space to enjoy your time

Me and my family stayed for the weekend we all loved the house and how much space we all had in the entire house the pictures does not really actually show how beautiful this house really is. We also had a bunch on the front porch as we all watch the sunrise in the morning, I will most definitely be back soon
