Didn’t live up to listing
Pretty rough all around house. Generally it was clean enough but things like broken windows, a dehumidifier aluminum taped in kitchen, no cooking pan, no broom etc. also the number of towels was severely lacking and the back door did not lock (broken). It’s wasn’t the worst stay but there was a ton of room for improvement. Water filter on fridge didn’t work either.

We enjoyed the layout of the house. Plenty of room for everyone. The private ocean access was fun & enjoyable. The ocean roar with sun up & sun down views were great. We enjoyed the beach, private walks, Katie’s seafood, The Strand, Duck ride, Murdocks, & Moody Gardens.

Potentially fabulous, but fell flat
The house was once upon a time wonderful but it has seen better days. On arrival one could see many problems on the outside of the house. Windows cloudy, green mold on drainage/gutter and stairwell. Opening the front door, a wall of Fabuliso scent hits you in the face. The floor was sticky and dirty, even though I saw the maids mop upon arrival. The bedrooms were fine but the bedding was cheap. In a 500 a night stay one would hope for at least cotton sheets but no, cheap bamboo or polyester is what we had. Windows and doors were difficult to open. Some impossible to open and close. The kitchen was a Goodwill collection of everything from the glasses and cups to all the mismatched cookware all put away Helter Skelter The refridgerator ice machine was not in working order and there was one half used roll of paper towels. The bottom oven did not work. In the property description it stated 6 parking spots. But the garage doors were in terrible shape and would not open. Dangerous too. If opened they could have fallen on some unsuspecting victim. The Bar-B-Q was solidly rusted out with no clean utensils to be found however I would not have used it because it was nasty looking. No beach towels or beach chairs were provided. In closing I wanted this to be a positive vacation with my family but it turned out to be very disappointing. I am a VRBO owner. I try to please my guests always. Clean cotton sheets and towels and always spick and span. I hope this helps.

Nice and yet disappointing
The place is a bit tired..,1) two codes are needed: one for the gate to the property and one for the home. They goofed and gave me only one code which they said was for the home but was for the gate. Took time to get this sorted.2) not as clean as hoped. Not dirty per se but found cheerios on the floor and sauce on the cupboards which my gals wiped off.3) my shower had mold around bottom edges4) they’ve got three portable air conditioners with hoses through the windows. Clearly mechanical issues with the hvac.5) says it’s got a bbq. Rusted piece of junk6) two garage doors both of which won’t open. Cables off the tracks and one door cockeyed7) one of the outside steps going up was warped.Nice enough place but I’ll rent a different one next time

So much potential
Before I reserved I asked if they would allow early check in - about noon- on the 24th because my hubby and I wanted to do some business planning before our family and friends arrived. They said yes. As soon as I booked- they changed their answer. I asked and asked - their response was “depends on if the cleaners get done early!” Even though nobody stayed at property night before. I suggested they clean night before so they could honor their word- and they wouldn’t bend. They said check in the morning. When I did- they said check back after 2p. Well check in is at 4p and we are over an hour away- defeats the purpose. Never got to check in.When we get there- there travel guide has the wrong address. Took 15 mins to find a contact #- she was great- finally get I . When we get in home- it was filthy. Roach on kitchen window sill- limited cooking pans- broken fridge- showers and floors filthy. Sticky stuff on cabinets. They Said they would send cleaners- but they didn’t come until 3p- Christmas- while we were eating. Couches make u itch because they are super dirty gross!! We all showered with flip flops on… dirty home Overall this house has great potential. Owners don’t care to make it what it could be. It is filthy and needs TLC. Very nice location just need better managers or whoever is handling it. Didn’t ruin our Xmas or time together but definitely would never rent again. Still the irony of not checking in because cleaners had to clean and house was filthy. Don’t stay

The property looks different in online photos—furniture-wise. The house was pretty but unclean. The bar stools did not fit the "counter-height" bar—I couldn't put my legs under. The main room furniture was filthy, and there were no comfortable chairs. In the bunk room next to the master, the shower handle and faucet were broken, and the window was shattered. We left a day early because they house was uncomfortable.

Worst experience ever
There were a ton of mosquitos inside the place. They had left the door open so the mosquitoes got inside. There were a lot of mosquitoes right outside the house as well. It seems like they have a pest issue. The plumbing is very bad. The toilets and the sinks get clogged quickly. The AC did not work. We contacted management and they never resolved any of our issues.

Deceptive
House was relatively expensive so some basic expectations were in order. Floors were not sept or clean at all. Two of the four bathrooms had no toilet paper, soap or any other necessary items. You had no way to unlock a back door to the property to go out into the back yard, you had to exit front of house to go around back yard. Also, it was a 4 story house and I had a colleague there that recently had surgery and they had a elevator but you could not access it either. Downstairs in area for garage and family games was very dirty with trash everywhere and the grill just filled to the top with ashes. Most frustrating thing was I tried to contact the owner and got no reply. They took my money very quickly but after they got the money they were not too worried about accommodations. Do not rent from the individual.

Nice House
Nice House with lots a beds. Perfect for large group of kids. We only stayed two night, the refrigerator and freezer was not cooling, it finally cooled down the last night we were there. Owner did offer maintenance to come out, but since we were leaving and it started to cool no need. No Cornhole, as shown in picture, so make sure you take your own and the door to the yard was lock, so you have to walk around if you want to access the yard. Owner was helpful and responded quickly. Overall nice stay and location.

Website needs to be updated. The house is not as close to the beach as they say. The house does not over look the ocean, it overlooks a public drive to the public beach! Liars!! Housekeeping needs to be better. We walked in to a bad fish smell and discovered it was the garbage can had not been cleaned out. Clearly a company owns the house and is not on top of it. If it’s owned by a person, then shame on you. You are NOT easy to work with.

Vacy experience
The home is roomy and great neighborhood. The outside grill is not recommended for usage, previous grilling buildup. The upstairs patio screening window screens torn. The cooking pans missing handles and worn. Plenty of plates and drink ware. Refrigerator clean. Oven dirty , door gasket needs to be replaced , damaged. Master bedroom bed not very comfortable , bedsheet had some unknown stains. Trash under the nightstand and window treatments damaged. We experienced foul water odor in master shower while in use. One downstairs bedroom toilet needed repair not flushing. The washer door sealant has mold stains. We tried to clean with disinfectant wipes not very successful in cleaning the buildup and mold stains. The bunk beds only have mattresses, no bunkie boards. AC not cooling well with this hot weather, lacking fans for backups, ceiling fans some worked some did not function well to assist with cooling the home. Trash was left on the boat dock from previous clients. The cowboy pool was dirty. Hoping this feedback helps others.

Perfect Beach House!
Just wow. We stayed at this home recently and we could not have had a better experience! The house is located in a private gated community on the East end of Galveston island, and they even have their own secluded section of beach for community members and their guests. We were able to use the private community walkover to quickly and easily get to the beach. And the home itself was gorgeous. So much open space in the home to relax and spend time together with our family was great. The kitchen was stocked with plenty of cooking utensils and appliances so that we were easily able to cook meals. Everything was decorated to really give a beachy vibe to the place and helped get us ready for our trip to the beach. So so happy we chose to stay here!
