Paradise on the beach!
This was a fantastic place to stay for myself and 2 other families. Plenty of space. Location was amazing...close to grocery stores and restaurants, and being steps from the ocean was great. A few things in the kitchen need updating. The dishwasher was broken: the shelves barely held dishes and the top sprayer was broken off and laying on the floor. The small oven and griddle don't light. A few fun board games and puzzles, but no beach toys...make sure to bring your own buckets and shovels! Overall was a great, relaxing, and fun vacation on the beach.

Location fantastic-it stops there! We stay in Galveston every year with family and I do my research on the homes. We also stayed in another house on the same street as this one last year but we had more coming this year and needed a bigger house. I do normality leave a review. DO NOT STAY HERE! This home is stuck in 2004! No updates and dangerous- gas stove that wouldn’t light without using a long lighter. House filled with gas before we found this out. Safety gate at the top patio not there as in the pictures. We had small children that we had to make a makeshift gate for. Electrical plug fried and put the power out to 1/2 the downstairs.Electrian couldn’t fix it due to extensive damage. Management would not bring extension cords or help. We had to go in the pouring down rain to get equipment to help us through the next couple of days. Just a general unkemptness throughout the house. Debris outside from past repairs, cords hanging out of the walls, ladders and extra in the laundry room, dilapidated appliances. No way this home should have been a rental. If it didn’t fall in business hours Gary Greene the management company was no help at all. Out of the 20 years we have been going to Galveston-the worse so far!

Our Family Vacation
The location was beautiful. Perfect area, little street noise, quiet, private beach, and amazing view. A few things about the house itself. None of the bathrooms are handicapped compliant. A wheelchair does not fit through the door, and does not fit into the separate toilet area. The listing says that there are minimal kitchen supplies, but there are plenty of large pots and pans,utensils, plates, and a Keurig. We brought our own not knowing these things were already there. Also, there are plenty of chairs on the decks. We brought several fold-up chairs also not knowing there were already several chairs available. We had several things either broken or not working at all.Both of the master suites on the lower level have lights above the bed that are not working at all. They both have jetted tubs. One of the jetted tubs does not plug up, so you can't fill it with water, and the jets themselves do not work. The other jetted tub does work, but we had to use a flat-head screwdriver to lift back up the plug to drain the tub. Several of the blinds either did not properly go up and down, and some were falling off of the top of the window pane. One of the bedrooms upstairs with one queen bed does not have a closet, and has a minimal dresser. We will definitely stay there again, these things were not deal breakers. But it would be helpful to update your listing to include these things mentioned so people can plan accordingly.

Spacious home, gorgeous beach location
The house was perfect for our extended family of 10. 6 adults and 4 cousins age 6-10. Each individual family had plenty of private space and there were 2 separate inside gathering areas to keep everyone comfortable and happy. The beach was an absolute highlight. The outdoor deck and patio areas were perfect. We purchased and/or brought our own beach toys, towels, and beach tent. Some of the furnishings getting a bit worn and though the oven was large, the main oven door didn’t close completely affecting cooking times//temps. Overall, the house and all its amenities met our needs well, helping us create a wonderful family memory of Galveston.

Disappointed
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.

Highly recommend
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!

Location saves the day!
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.

Fabulous house
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!

Spring break
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.

Friends Birthday and beach weekend
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.

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.
