Had everything we needed. Great trip
The location of the property was great. It had everything we needed. The booking and check out process were easy. The property could use major updating, deep cleaning, and a few minor repairs. But overall was great for our needs and comfortable

Okay - Not Great
Pros of this house: a short walk to the beach & it’s a charming house overall. The communication was superb! Unfortunately, there’s SO many cons. The cleanliness was absolutely awful. The dining table & multiple chairs were broken. Cabinet doors hanging off the hinges, not a lot of supplies (like laundry detergent,, toilet paper, napkins, some kitchen items, etc…) are very lacking. The house is for sale, so that is now a RED FLAG for us & will not stay at a place if we know it’s for sale. Because for sale = won’t be replacing items that need it. Towel holders were falling off the wall, carpet needs a deep clean x5, it was nasty, toilet paper stand was even wobbly about to break, gunk in corners of the floor. A huge amount of dust buildup on majority of the fans & decorations. The main microwave doesn’t work, but they provided a smaller one on the counter. Even the coffee table in the living room was wobbly & we feared would break if anyone would place something on it. There were screws on the bathroom counter. The cleaning crew or whoever placed wet water filter pitchers in the cabinets instead of drying them & smelled of mildew/mold. All the air fresheners were dried up. There’s just no eye for even the most simple details that could have made the experience better. This is our fault, but had we known there was no baby gate, we would have brought one for the stairs since we have a young toddler. We would not stay here again.

Place is nice, except, Island cabinet door hinge broken and door hanging. Bathroom cabinet door missing. Bedroom door hard to open. AC not keeping the house cool during heat of the day even with probably unit. Turned itself off daily, had to reset it 3 times on one day. Sat in one of the chairs outside and one side came apart almost fell out of the chair. Outside TV did not work. Saturday afternoon the temperature in the house was over 80 degrees.

Great location!
Arrived on Friday afternoon, checked in & went right to the beach, it’s so close! Stayed at the house til checkout Monday. House was good & had enough space & beds for all. Stairs to get to other 3 big beds was difficult for adults, so had to sleep elsewhere. Overall, the place is a great location, roomy, plenty of outdoor seating, parking for multiple vehicles or golf carts. The price for the weekend was great for the size & location! Would rent the house again!

Host was very accommodating. Arrived in area early, reached out if could leave a trailer in the driveway so could hangout on the beach before check in time. He let us know the house was ready and could access the house early. Not many places would allow that.

Great location!
Conveniently located close to the Big Store for those forgotten grocery items, a very short walk to the beach, and tons of fun for the kids! My only suggestion would be to bring a hotspot for the TV outside. We used our phone hotspots to get the Astros games! Great stay and will likely use this rental again!!

Great location, with some flaws.
Honestly this property is pretty awesome. The house is located so close to the beach, and has everything you need for the stay. My family really only had an issue with the AC. It was above 80 most of the day, despite being set to 70. It didn’t get below 80 till 11 at night, and was back above 80 by 10a. If you don’t mind the heat this listing is phenomenal. It was too uncomfortable for us.

Great Location and Fun Times!
We really enjoyed staying here with the family. A 3 minute walk to the beach was perfect. The kids loved to play the arcade in the living room when we had downtime. I had a couple questions at the beginning of our stay and Shaun was quick to respond. Would definitely stay here again!

Great owners!
We reported some very minor issues to the owner, and he responded immediately, offering to fix them that day. They were minor, so we asked them to wait until we left. 2 days after the trip, we were notified that all concerns were addressed. No place is perfect, but the owner went above and beyond to make the place as perfect as possible. It was also the best stocked location we've ever rented. Great location, close to the beach and the Big Store. We will definitely be booking this place again in the future.
