Good location but not clean
Septic smell on the property physically see sewage/grey water bubbling on the ground.Shower handle is not attached.Top step on the pool ladder is broken.Coffee pot looks as though it’s never been cleaned. Moldy and could not use. Floors dirty left feet and socks dirty. Vacuum was full not cleaned out.Half a bag of fruity cereal in a kitchen drawer. Decorative wall clocks don’t work, one with no hands. No pantry space - only shelving area adjacent to kitchen is inside a bathroom. No bathtub only stand up showers. No dishwasher.No space to hang clothes. I informed the property manager of all issues. Good location close to the beach. Pool was clean. Plenty of dishes and silverware for a large family. Loved the porch swings. Wheelchair accessible. Didn’t use the fire pit.

14 in on house...Crazy
We like to have our semi-annual Thanksgiving trips and it is often difficult to find a place that will accommodate 6 adults and 8 children plus 2 pets. This house didn't just a accommodate us but we had a great time. We hit a snafu on the first day with the refigerator/freezer that quit working but the maintenance people were out of sight and installed a new one that very day in a short amount of time. We could have lost all our food but we didn't lose any of it. From the management to the staff, these people are great.

Not what I expected
This property was very filthy when we arrived nothing was clean! All of the rooms had the bedding messed up and all the used towels were piled in the bathroom counter. One of the beds was broken down the center. The property was obviously not cleaned by anyone. The communication between the property management was pretty good. They did finally move us to a slightly better property but not till we lost a couple of hours….very disappointed by this property!

False advertising
When you read your description, it says that there is a playground which there was not it also says there was a washer and dryer there was not. I had to go to a laundromat and I had 14 people with me which was very inconvenient. I also felt like there was not enough towels or, there definitely would not have been enough cooking utensils I’m so glad I already brought my own and when we got there, you could see that the floors had not been mopped or anything. The baseboards were still very very dirty. Had lots of dust everywhere and other than that, it was a OK stay but a bathroom being in the middle of the kitchen was also very hard to deal with with a large group .

Nice property and great communication!
Very nice property located just a bit further South on Galveston Island. Not too far from beach access points and away from the busy areas. The property had everything we needed and was clean with everything working as expected. Extra bonus is it had a ramp rather than stairs that made it easier getting our stuff up to the property. The communication was fantastic and made us feel very welcome. All details were provided and even put together an online packet of information that was very helpful. We enjoyed our quick getaway stay and will seek out this owner for more rentals!

We had a wonderful stay at Anchor Away, StayBeachBox. The house was well equipped The communication was excellent. We have stayed at other Stay Beach Homes and they are always clean and well stocked. We dont have any complaints, because Stay Beach rentals are always well kept. We came to have a great time of celebrating Christmas together and we did. Thank you for being a part of making our weekend a great one.

Minimalist Accommodation
The Good: Great AC kept us cool. A short drive to the best public beach in Galveston (no cars, not many folks). Excellent television. The Bad: Not enough chairs for the number of people. Not a single closet rod or hook (except near the shower) to hang up clothes. Had to go buy chairs for the kids, a drying rack for dishes. The flooring was starting to come up in places. "Sand fleas" ate everyone up if you were outside after dark. Won't stay there or in any of their properties again. It did not meet our expectations and was a bare minimum property for what we paid. We've stayed in better places in Galveston.
