The property was nice but could use some maintenance and updating like painting and rust. The decks are spacious. Unfortunately due to the weather we couldn't enjoy the beach during our visit which was the primary reason for our stay. The property was relaxing and a nice way to end the year.

Fun beach house
The house is in a great location, and the beds were really comfortable. There were some places on the floor that showed some damage, but they were clean. One thing that was disappointing was the pool. We chose this house because it had a pool. When we got the check in information, we found out the pool had an extra cost attached. That was misleading on the description. As for contact with the management company it was frustrating. We were supposed to arrive the Monday that Hurricane Beryl hit. I had tried to change the date the Saturday and Sunday before, but they wouldn't allow it, saying over and over they were keeping an eye on the gulf. The hurricane hit Galveston and we still got an email about checking in that day. I like fire a phone number to talk to a person and they finally moved our date. Luckily i was at family's that had power of I would've never gotten the email.

Horrible dog smelling couch and moldy bathroom
The house was extremely nice except for the COUCH and the master bathroom The couch was horrible. We could not even sit on it. It smelled like a dirty wet dog. We had to take the comforters off the bunk beds to ever sit on them. The owner offered to have the cleaners come look at it. It needs to be thrown out with the couch pillows. The master bathroom smelled like mold. My boys said when they was downstairs fishing that water ran out the bottom of the house when we took bathes. Location was about twenty minutes from anything. The guys enjoyed fishing off the bottom. The porch swing out back was broke n another chair upstairs on porch was broke.

Nice weekend visit
We enjoyed our stay. Fishing off the canal was fun, especially for a first-timer who caught a black drum. It was nice to go to the pier as well and change it up a bit. It was a convenient location and we will be back!

Cozy
Property was as stated. House was immaculate, and smelled so clean. They supply coffee and had trash bags already there which was nice. Kitchen is small but doable for a short trip. Outside was peaceful, loved having a water hose by the stairs and all the outdoor furniture to sit on. Bring an extra blanket because there are no extras here. Also, an extension cord because some of the rooms have outlets across from the bed, not next to it.

Great getaway with lots of fishing!
This was a cute property in a great neighborhood. My 10 year old loved fishing off the back deck in the canal and caught lots of fish! The beach is right across the way and there is a restaurant and bait shop just a few streets over. Only about a 20 minute drive to downtown Galveston. We enjoyed our stay!
