The view is great
We utilized the space for a Ladies Weekend getaway. Friday night we noticed right away there were roaches in the kitchen as we began to start cooking. We only noticed them in the kitchen. Everyone slept in the main house area because the Downstairs room that has the 6 bunk beds, was full of mosquitos and the only access to the room was by outside stairs, at night, the lighting was a bit dim for this too, so if your group is drinking, be careful. I was surprised that the third bathroom was completely outside and downstairs. Again, the mosquitos will keep you company. The view in the daytime is peaceful and the walk to the beach isnt bad at all. If you want to use the fire pit you have to bring your own supply, and be careful of the deck! Some nails are not all the way in!

Terrible roach infested
The property itself was gorgeous. The host however was LESS than accommodating. Upon arrival it was very unclear how to get inside the home. Once inside, the downstairs bedrooms listed as a “game/entertainment” room were INFESTED with roaches. Multiple very large roaches. Shortly after informing the host they did nothing to remedy this. After this discovery the roaches continued ALL over the kitchen and its cabinets. The sheets were also full of hair and unwashed, with stains throughout and even a few hair ties, all of which I had taken photos of and sent to the host who simply said “sorry about that”. Will never ever stay here again. This was my wedding trip and I had all of my family who was very excited to stay in this home who ended up having to wash their own sheets and clean up roaches on their vacation. Embarrassing.

This is the perfect property for a large group. So close to the beach, gorgeous panoramic views, so many spaces for entertaining. The floor plan is fantastic and the house is well equipped. Props to the host for being very responsive and helpful. Fire pit, ping pong, and so much more. WYSIWYG - an awesome experience!

Galveston House
The check in process was very easy and accommodating. Upon entry the house was very clean. As we began to settle in we noticed the floors were chipping and some slight mold in the bathrooms. Also bathroom toilet seats were not secure. The floors throughout creeked pretty badly and some parts were lifted. We absolutely loved the gaming room downstairs. We never realized we had to completely exit the home to enter the basement part of the house. Made it quite difficult for our kids but we managed. The pool and yard looked wonderful and we wish it wasn't too cold to swim!

Great property but maintenance wasn’t great.
We enjoyed the property and believe it has so much potential. It was a great space with lots of room. It was pretty dirty from previous renters though. Light fixtures were extremely dusty, floors were sticky, dishes weren’t clean, there was trash from previous renters and tape stuck to a lot of things, and the door knobs were missing on a lot of doors, bugs cooked into the coffee pot, we couldn’t find some light switches we would have liked and not much privacy in restrooms. I believe it could be great if it were cleaner and a little more love to the house. We had a great time and did love our stay but for the price we believe it needs a lot more attention.

Quick Getaway
Love the size and private pool this property has to offer. The beds were super comfy and plenty of bath towels. I was disappointed in a couple of things. We spotted roaches and ants in the house. Also there were NO essentials provided in the kitchen such as salt/pepper/sugar/oil. For a beach house, I would expect lots of hooks to hang towels and bathing suits. No hooks, anywhere in bedrooms or bathrooms.

We had 18 women with us and there was plenty of room for all the fun to be had. We had some minor issues we quickly mentioned upon arrival (lights outside not working, bugs) and the property manager did an excellent job at getting those fixed right away for us to completely enjoy our stay! The pool was great, and the views/location were amazing! We had a blast!

Poor housekeeping—spacious house
Grandchildren loved the pool. I did report that no one could help us turn pool lights on. At night the roaches came out in kitchen. We sprayed the kitchen ourselves. Also when we got there, I had to clean up vomit by the bed in the bedroom on the right. Everything else was very clean. Also trash cans downstairs were full and very smelly. We had one trash can to use. The main problem is the housekeeping staff.

Beautiful location but
This place has potential but there's definitely work to be done. The best parts were the outdoor spaces. The decks and pool area. Pros: -Beautiful location close to the beach -Wrap around deck with chairs -Nice pool and fire pit area -Lots of dishes, silverware -Bunk room good for kids -Good parking for several vehicles Cons: -No cutting board, extra blankets or dust pan -Blender didn't work. Had to buy one. -One chair for the table on deck was broken. -Only part of the pool lights worked leaving the half with the table in the dark. -Two of the 4 trash cans were full when we arrived. -There was trash left from previous occupants laying around outside, on chairs, table, etc. -And there were bugs that we could live with and then there were the roaches. Too many to ignore. In drawers, cupboards, the dishwasher, etc. For as much money as we spent, it should have been in pristine condition! It is in a beautiful location and could be an ideal vacation home if it were better maintained. We would not recommend it the way it is now.
