Perfect Getaway
Every year my husband and I take our 6 kids and 3 of my nephew & niece with us to our family vacation. This was our first year at the house as well as the first time being just us two adults with so many kids/teenagers. Everyone loved the house! The two fridges and ice trays inside each one was a big plus for us since we cook big amounts of food. The house was more spacious than what we expected from seeing the pictures which was perfect. The bedrooms all had big closets and plenty of storage. All the kids loved their beds they said they were soft and comfortable. Only downside for us was that their is only two bathrooms in the house with us being so many. And the downstairs shower water only came out hot. Unless we were doing something wrong. The house was close to the beach a couple of times we walked to and from the beach. It was about a block or less. But overall we loved the house and definitely recommend it. Only recommendation for the owners would be that if they had a complete downstairs bathroom it would be a great addition for those big families. It would beat having to go upstairs when you are at the beach

Great location and great space
This house is in a great location. Easy to walk to and from the beach. (We rented a golf cart because it’s fun to drive up and down the beach.) The three bedrooms are large and provide plenty of space for kids. The living room and dinning area a big and provide lots of seating for family. There are 4-5 boogie boards and 4 chairs you can use for the beach. The house also 4-6 beach towels that can be used as well.

Check in
It would have been helpful to have a phone number contact to the owner or property management before arrival. We were locked out for 40 minutes because the owner didn’t update the new lock box code on the website and failed to notify us that it changed, if the neighbor hadn’t come to our rescue we would have been locked out in the heat for more than 2 hours because that’s how long it took for someone to contact us with the property managers phone number. The owner only supplied an email and never ever emailed me back even after the owner called them, they could have at least emailed back that they were sorry for the inconvenience. The property manager did contact us about a power outage and kept us informed about updates about how long the power would be out, unfortunately it was off a lot longer than just a few hours it was off all night til 7am the next morning so our last night was very hot and miserable which made it very hard to sleep. The house was super nice as well as the area and very comfortable and spacious other than those 2 issues we had a great time.

Great stay..
Comfortable beds, cold a/c, quick walk to beach. I tried contacting the host via the VRBO app but didn’t get a reply. The master shower and sink were stopped up, or slow to drain. Other than that, great time.

It was wonderful!
Everything about our stay was wonderful. We arrived to a very clean cabin! The beds were super comfortable and so were the pillows. Loved that there was a working TV in every room, my kids loved that too. It wasn’t far of a walk to the beach at all. We will definitely be renting again!

Great location for our family vacation
Loved the property, the beach views, stocked kitchen supplies, and the gate around the bottom really provided peace of mind with our 2 year old. The cleaning details could have been improved (long dark hairs strewn around the bathrooms, dead flys in windowsills, trash under the bunkbeds and in the couch from previous renters). Overall an A+ rental. Definitely recommend and may book again!

Lovely Property
We had a group of 9: 4 ladies and 5 guys for 3 nights. The house fit and slept us all comfortably and the two bathrooms worked out fine. Kitchen has a lot of cooking utensils. The house is just a short walk to the beach. Galveston is accessible by ferry however the trip took 2 hours because of ferry delays. It was all around a comfortable stay and we would recommend this property.
