This is by far the best place we have ever stayed at. The only issue was that 2 of the rooms were pretty hot maybe issue with the ventilation in there? Other than that the house was super clean and provided everything we needed for our stay.The pool was the best part!!!

House was Great-Neighbors not so much
The house was great, exactly as pictured. The property manager was also great. The neighbors on the other hand....were rude and obnoxious very invasive and annoying. They came over multiple times uninvited, it was weird.

Nice little house. Pool is an awesome plus. I do wish it would have had a washer, dryer , and dishwasher. Watch your head when using the bottom lounge area sits really low.
This property is pretty much exactly as described. Very quiet neighborhood, basic house setup, pool!, and not a long walk to the beach. We would stay again next time we come to Galveston.
It was a wonderful and cozy place to stay. Being able to bring back memories of when my wife and I met and making new ones. Looking forward to staying again in the future.
stay was fine except for the rain, most of the dishes were filthy. There were mouse droppings in the window seals where the children could reach. When reaching out to the management I was told someone would come to clean this up but no one showed up. Mouse droppings by the window seal next couch, there is no way the mice were not on the couch. Very disappointing.
This was a great property for large groups! The kids (8 total) had so much fun with the bunk beds and area under the house. It was a great location and easy walk to the beach.
I didn't give a 5 only because I think it could have been slightly better, but my family and I did have a good time. The house didn't quite look like the pictures. Could use a little bit of maintenance. It's to be expected in Galveston. The house was a bit worn. Doors all squeaked (bring some WD40), cabinets didn't close well, flooring was worn, house was a little unlevel, handle in shower fell off, but it was fine. I am sure a few hurricanes will do that.It was clean and the beds were comfortable. Lots of big beds! Only TV is in the family room. The area under the house isn't terribly inviting so we never used it. Never used the firepit either but we spent so much time in the pool we were tired in the evenings.The yard is not fenced so i enjoyed walks with my two little dogs instead. Bring mosquito spray!The pool was pretty dirty when we got there (algae and sand), and the yard needed to be mowed but I messaged the property manager, and a pool guy arrived, and the yard was mowed.Internet worked well. Never found a desk but I brought my own table anyway.Plenty of Toilet paper and coffee. Lots of dishes, silverware, pots and pans, 2 microwaves, coffee pot. Lots of lighting outside.Lots of bath towels. No beach towels.No games or books were found other than a checkerboard with 3 checkers.There are grocery stores, restaurants, and liquor stores nearby. Could walk to the bay or the beach. Overall, I was very comfortable with the home, and we had a great time.
We had a great mini getaway and very much enjoyed the house. The owner communicated with us quickly and respectfully. The house is beautifully decorated and the accommodations were excellent!
Spacious enough for the big family of ours that went. We all enjoyed our time and house had everything.!
