Family reunion
We had a great time! The house was big enough for our large family. Kitchen was clean and well stock. Bedrooms were clean and large too. Will defiantly use it again. The only thing we could have use more of were towels. But no problem there was a large laundry room well stock too.Thank you for letting us make our family memories in your beautiful home.

Beautiful Beach Home, But Needs A Little TLC!
This Galveston home is an ideal beach rental, and it was difficult to provide sucha low rating given its many positive attributes. The location is excellent, offering stunning ocean views and convenient beach access. The house is beautifully decorated with ample amenities, including a fully stocked kitchen, comfortable furnishings, and a lovely outdoor space for dining and relaxation. There are plenty of sleeping spaces, towels, and bathrooms available, providing guests with everything they need for a comfortable stay. Regrettably, our experience was overshadowed by a pest issue. We encountered roaches in the kitchen nightly and a significant number of gnats in the upstairs guest bathtub, making it unusable. While some of our group are from TX and accustomed to occasional pest appearances, the frequency and severity we experienced were beyond what is typical. One out of state guest even discovered a roach had traveled with them to the airport which was concerning. We understand beach locations can attract these critters but it made us wonder if pest control was a priority. Minor issues: pet hair on the downstairs couch and rug, the coffee maker required a deep cleaning to work properly, and the freezer door needed to be securely closed each time to maintain its temperature. While the home’s charm and amenities are appealing, the pest situation significantly impacted our stay which was disappointing. This is a great rental so we hope the issues are addressed for future guests.

We had our annual girls trip. All of us over 60 and we had a blast. The house was wonderful, but next time we need to find fewer stairs. The inly issues we had was the freezer would not stay clised, and we ciuld have used more towels. The pics were very close to what you actually get. The beds are very comfy.

Lovely Family Weekend
The home was beautiful, linens clean, and home welcoming. Beach Box was so responsive throughout the booking process and even upon arrival. It was great to find a place with all the king beds and en suites for all our extended family to have a comfortable space for the weekend. We went with the ordering pizza and catering route, so we didn’t really cook, but it looked like basic appliances and pots and pans were well appointed. Rented a golf cart which was great to get around. Beach access parking is right across the main road and easy to walk to, but golf cart was nice for the grandparents and trips back to the house as needed. No Keurig, fyi. We didn’t even check and all brought coffee pods, but there is a regular percolating coffee pot with filters. Outdoor furniture on deck was really nice and we spent a lot of time outside. Parking for more than 4-5 vehicles in driveway may be tight. We had 4 and fit comfortably. Awesome private pier for fishing in Sea Isle neighborhood with bait shop right there. Thanks!

Beach Vacay 2024
We were really pleased with our house! It was very comfortable and homey feeling! Not too far from the beach. We placed a grocery pickup order and picked it up on the way thru Galveston because there are not many places to get groceries in the area! I would recommend taking extra bath towels, kitchen towels, and paper towels, paper plates and throw away utensils. There were plenty of dishes and utensils but it makes it easier not to have to wash dishes as much! Besides there is not a dish drain and you only get 3 kitchen towels! I recommend bringing a dish drying mat. The bathrooms were very nice but they didn’t have any place to hang your towels to reuse them and the towel hanger by the sink was placed so low that you couldn’t hang a hand or bath towel only a wash cloth. All in all we had a great time staying at the Big Tuna/BeachBox

Beautiful large home w close walk to the beach!
Very accommodating and beautiful home! All bedrooms have king beds (some rooms have additional bunkbeds), and there are a lot of bathrooms in the house. The kitchen is well-equipped for a large family. The beach is a short walk. We will likely book this house again because it is just perfect for our growing family!

We had four couples stay and the house was perfect with each couple having their own bedroom and bathroom. Check in was easy and the hose was very clean. The only issue was the front door lock was broken and you could not lock it. Also the handle was loose. However I would definitely recommend this place if you have a large group

Too many minor issues
We had an awesome time however the house had several issues that we had to keep informing the host about. I’m sure the host was well aware of the issues before we arrived. I think we should have been told at check in about the issues so we wouldn’t have to take pictures and videos of all that stuff. It took a lot of our time calling, emailing and texting the host. The phone service is bad in the house so calls and messages were not going thru even with the WiFi connected. Had a hard time connecting with the host. One of the dining chairs was broken, the walls had scuff marks and dents in several places, the doors in the a few of bathrooms has water damage . One of the toilets would not flush but they fixed that in a timely manner. Overall we had an awesome time it was just a little stressful trying to inform the host of the multiple issues. I didn’t want to be blamed for those issues.

Our little girls trip was perfect. We loved the location of the house and size. Enough bedrooms and bathrooms for everyone. Only thing I would suggest is the house needs blinds. It was hard to change clothes without worrying someone is looking in. But house was close to beach and beautiful.

Spacious
The house was excellent and as described. There was a lot of room for everyone. We had 5 couples in our family group and each basically had their own master suite. It is a short walk to the beach and and there is a bar and food truck area less than a block away. Would stay again if we were in the area
