Beautiful View
This house has beautiful views with a great deck to enjoy it from. The house was clean and comfortable.The beach was not crowded and easy to access. We enjoyed the ice cream truck that came through. The house did need some minor repairs and the public access next to the house does create a lot of traffic and noise.

Amazing location!
This rental is the perfect location away from the touristy spots--you are right on the beach. We absolutely loved being right on the beach. Working with the owner/staff was great--very helpful (we temporarily lost the house key and they drove to meet us to get us a back up very quickly!). Inside of the house was very clean and tidy; a great little set up for a couple or family of 4.

Galveston Beach House
The house in general was nice and clean. I appreciated the inside but when we got there, there was a foot and a half of water flooding the entire yard. We had to wade through this to get to the stairs to get to the house and carry all our luggage through this also. There was a transfer pump in the garage area so obviously it’s had to be used before. Also the washer didn’t work and we had packed light planning on using the washer and dryer. Was very inconvenient. They’re did bring us more clean towels when I called. Communicate fairly well.

Perfect little house for my Husband daughter and I! So close to the beach. Very comfortable beds and living room chairs. But make sure you bring bug spray, the mosquito’s are so bad! They bite you through your shirt. Other than that it was a perfect little getaway.

Not as advertised
The house is not at all as advertised. Upon arrival it was filthy. Dirty sheets, bedding and towels. Piles of dead roaches flies and other bugs all around the house. The outside shower was unusable due to rust and the insane amount of mosquitos as was the garage in general as well as the washer and dryer which meant we couldn’t wash any of our Sandy beach stuff. One of the main reasons we chose that particular house was because of the outside shower, that was disappointing to say the least. On top of that, the inside shower door was broken which made showering inside even more difficult. The patio area is dangerous and really needs some upkeep. It’s not safe for small children due to u finished wood, exposed rusted nails. You have to watch every step to ensure not to step on an exposed rusted nail. As if that isn’t enough the first night we hardly could even sleep due the to amount of mosquitos inside the home. We went and spent over 100$ just trying to get rid of some of the mosquitos so we could sleep. I spend my entire first night with no sleep up trying to kill mosquitos so they don’t bite my sleeping children all night. Then because of the dead mosquitos there were dead bugs and blood splatters all over the floor and of course there was no broom or mop. so disappointing. The house was no where near ready for guests and it was as if no one really took the time to prepare for guest arrival. Up all night cleaning and fighting off bugs is not a vacation.

Nice place
Good condition. Great view of the ocean. They aren't kidding - just a few steps and you are on the beach. A few lights out, switches that didn't work (or that we could not figure out), shower door not working correctly, general wear and tear from life on the coastline. Not sure why there are more AV remotes than equipment. LOL. We only spent one night of our 4-night reservation due to Tropical Storm Alberto and the rising water, but it was a good night. We all wanted to stay the whole time. I would have called management the next day about the shower door and lights, if we had stayed. I did send an email. Thanks.

Great Spot, Right On the Beach!!
This home worked out perfectly for my family (wife and two young boys)!! Everyone had an absolute blast! The house served its purpose perfectly for us. We would wake up early, make the simple walk down our stairs to the beach, set up camp for the day and enjoy! This isn’t a “luxury” home by any means, but you’re getting this spot to have cozy home right on the beach with your family or a few friends. The home is starting to show its age, but they’ve done well with the interior to maintain a great living space! Would definitely come back!

Galveston Beach Front
Terrific beachfront property perfect to unwind and just be. Home is very comfortable and all WiFi/electronics work perfectly. Love the outdoor shower (cold & hot!)…just need to level off the little puddle area. Woke up each morning to a gorgeous sunrise and we were fortunate enough to have a full moon while there and it was breathtaking during the nighttime. One thing to consider is that if you want to go to “town” it’s a bit of a drive (15-20 min), but mostly enjoyed the privacy. Had a great stay and Crystal was very helpful for the couple of questions we had during our stay. If we were ever to visit Galveston again. This would be a great spot.

Great for our girls weekend
The house was clean and the furniture and beds were comfortable. Being right on the beach was wonderful, watching the sunrise and enjoying the peace and quiet. Its a short drive to Galveston for shopping and restaurants. There is also a local grocery that has most of the conveniences and a large selection of items as well as several restaurants. If the property is available the next time we plan to go to Galveston, we will definitely stay here again.

Decent for price
As many of the other reviews stated the door to the deck is broken. It needs new hinges and can pose a danger if you aren’t very careful with it. There is no coffee pot as mentioned in the listing and posted in the online pictures. There is a keurig but I did not bring any pods so I had to go buy some. We also had to purchase our own hand soap for the kitchen & bathroom. I thought that was odd since my other vacation rentals had it. Not sure why but after we showered the floor was soaking wet. I couldn’t see a leak so we just tried not to use much water. My biggest concern was the electrical/wiring in the home. The switches didn’t make since and sometimes were multifunctional. For example in the bathroom, you could not turn on the ceiling fan without the light. Several of the lamps did not work. Some did not have light bulbs or the bulbs did not work. As I mentioned, it was decent for the price but you get what you pay for.
