Beautiful home, great location

My family stayed here for 3 nights while visiting Galveston. The price and location (to beach and town) are great. Parking can get a bit tricky, but our host did warn us prior to check-in. Rooms are comfortable and spacious. It is an older home, so expect some creaks while walking around.

Cozy yet spacious

The property was in a great location! Our young boys loved the bunk beds. It was so spacious and would've been ideal for a group bigger than ours but still cozy when we watched movies at night. Overall it was a wonderful place to stay and would stay again if we come back!

Exactly what we needed

Seven of us just came off a cruise, and the host was accommodating with letting us check in which we very much appreciated with all of our luggage. The house was definitely big enough for all of us. The house was located close to a grocery store and a gas station which helps since we didn’t have a vehicle. The back deck was nice to sit out on. Unfortunately, the front deck was a little loud because it sits on a main road. It’s definitely an older home, so the creak quite loudly. It definitely needs some TLC other than another coat of paint. It looks like they are in the process of slowly upgrading as the appliances were new in the kitchen and the master bedroom was gorgeous. I would definitely rent this place again if I were to ever be back in Galveston.

Close to everything

Could clean a little bit more, there was pot residue in the kitchen chairs. It was central to everything a nice place. We had to call about neighbors with trailer and within the hour taken care of. Was problems with front door handle but people seem to be willing to fix anything if they are alerted to the problem

Pre-cruise overnight

Overall we enjoyed our quick overnight stay prior to boarding a cruise. We were a family of 11 and the property accommodated everyone perfectly. The only reason I can’t give 5 stars is because the floors were absolutely filthy in every room except for the bathrooms. The rugs in living room and bedrooms had not seen a vacuum in quite some time. There were crumbs under the table and counters and dirt and debris in corners throughout the living room. I brought the floors up to the property manager. I was asked to send pictures and then never received any other communication. This property is very strict regarding check in and check out times and they say that’s so the cleaners have plenty of time. I can appreciate that but was definitely disappointed with the cleaning standard of the floors. Bathrooms and beds met our clean standards but the cleanliness of the floors really need to be improved.

Strong urine smell, dog hair and fleas

When we arrived the floor was dirty, soda bottles, laying on the ground the couch was covered in dog hair, yellow stains on the sheets. The house has a strong pet urine smell. I had to call the management company and they had to send the cleaners back out to vacuum the couch and floor. The bathrooms are very nice and clean. The location was good if you have a golf cart which we did. There was a pool, but it was very dirty. I contacted the owner multiple times with no response. The kids spent the night taking videos of the fleas, jumping on them and woke up with bites.

Weekend Getaway

The house appeared cute online, but when we got there we thought otherwise. The house was filthy, the kids feet were black from walking around on the floors. Right away we noticed a hole on the wall and contacted the property manager and he replied thank you. We were trying to make dinner and the oven was broken and the glass stove top was cracked, so we had to eat out instead of save money and eat in. The upstairs shower leaked water all over the downstairs floor. When we contacted the agent, he requested pictures for all of our complaints and said he would put in a work order. We then sent him a video of the water that leaked through the ceiling and the light fixture. He said he would mark the work order as urgent. Needless to say, nobody ever came to fix any of the issues addressed and we had to share 1 bathroom for 6 people. He never offered to compensate us for the inconveniences and proceeded to send me the invoice for my stay. I have always had positive experiences with VRBO, until now. I would not recommend anyone stay here, find another place on the island to stay.

Summer Vacation

The house itself was beautiful, clean, and well decorated. The outside was not well kept; the pool edge was broken (kinda dangerous) the grill was so filthy, trash all around the pool area, along the fence, and the trash outside was still full (brings bugs). The driveway needs to be repaired before it pops a vehicle tire.

Property was clean and comfortable. One of the beds upstairs was a little squeaky, but the layout worked out perfectly for our group of 11.

Mother’s 73rd bday celebration

House was a little bigger than expected. The rooms and space was perfect to celebrate my mother’s 73rd Birthday which perfectly accommodated our family of 12. The pool was a plus for the kids/teens. And a huge plus was also it being dog friendly, as we couldn’t leave our fur baby behind. The only three suggestions I would make would be the bed in the upstairs king bedroom was a little squeaky, it could use an update. The staircase was also loud and squeaky, understandable due to age of the home. The third one would be to possibly add more outdoor lighting in the back to be able to grill/use the pool later in the evening. Other than that, we enjoyed our time here and would recommend to family and friends.
