Our 2nd time!

One of my favorite beach houses to rent! I just love this house. We have a toddler and a kid with us this time and we wish maybe you guys can put a gate at the top of the stairs. But overall we will definitely go back!

Close to beach

Having all 16 of us under one roof was amazing. Waking up to the ocean out our front door was beautiful. The house did have enough plates, silverware and cups for 16 people. The linen fee was a bit ridiculous. I've never stayed at a VRBO without sheets, towels, kitchen towels or toilet paper!

Beach House

We stayed in Galveston second week of July. This review has nothing to do with the hurricane that we were in. The house was somewhat clean. The upstairs looks like it had not been vacuumed because there were still little spurs in the carpet. We found a T-shirt in the garbage disposal. There were no toilet paper holders in the bathrooms. Something had been spilled in the freezer in a not been cleaned up. We chose to stay in the house during the hurricane and being without power. That was fine. However, the property manager only sent one email and never checked in on us overall we gave this house three out of five stars .

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Over all the property was very nice. The few things we had issues with were no gate down the stairs we did have a dog with us and we did bring baby gates a elevator outside would have been nice to get coolers and luguage also mky 80 year old mom.I would also like to see the lights down the stairs working. over all nice house as we do this every year and possibly looking at next year. We do our family trip every year and in all the places we have never had to pay extra for sheets and the basic kitchen and bat needs(tp paper towles soap ect). Kitchen could use some better pans knives ect.

great location, visible mold and smell was bad. Not clean!

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Location was great. Outside area was clean. Inside not so great. Mold smell when we walked in, dog hair all on the sectional couch, kitchen had food leaked down cabinets and stove. Was not swept or vacuumed. Upstairs had the worst mold smell,which later we found visible mold in this bathroom and room. I got on the phone and called Swedes when we first got there. I explained the issues with the cabin, she was not a pleasant person but she did offer to send a cleaning lady. I rejected and cleaned myself because we had already brought up all our stuff, and the kids we're all about to be there. Plus I couldn't chance the cleaning lady to actually clean when she didn't do it before arriving.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We love the location of the GYpsy SOl. The nice front covered deck looks out on the waves. The second story deck is also lovely. The cabin needs some better pots and pans, and a little maintenance but is such a good experience overall for the money spent. The beach is just a few steps away.
