Spacious home with pool

Spacious house with pool that accommodated our family well. It’s about a 15 to 20 minute walk to the beach. Walmart and restaurants are close by on the seawall. We do think the house needs to be cleaned better between guests. We had to wash some of the sheets before using them and there was a lot hair in the bathrooms and on the floors in general. Apart from needing to clean the house, we enjoyed our stay overall.

Beach house get together

This is the perfect beach house with an amazing pool and so close proximity to the beach. The owner was prompt with instructions for check in and check out. The house was so clean with such clean linens and clean towel. It was beautifully furnished an decorated with a full kitchen - appliances etc. We were a group of women (friends and family) and had a great time! House is so spacious with so many bedrooms and bathrooms. The pool was so clean and well maintained. We had an amazing time using the pool. Overall we had an excellent stay and would definitely rent this house again!

Perfect for large groups!

The variety of sleeping choices along with multiple baths were the draw for our large group of adults; 14 in all & we could’ve slept more… We booked so we could hang out & visit the night before our cruise out of Galveston! It was perfect for our needs & we’d stay here again. Upon drive-up, the neighborhood itself seemed well maintained & quiet & there was a long driveway for off-street parking for several cars. The main living room, dining & kitchen were open concept & large enough with enough seating that we spent the whole evening hanging & yacking. (There is a 2nd living area upstairs for the travel weary & quieter folks.) The beds overall were comfy, but I was told that some of the bed frames were creaky & noisy. Ours in the largest bedroom was perfect. The were only a few minor negatives but not enough to keep this from having 5 stars. Not all the rooms had ceiling fans & most of the old windows were jammed & wouldn’t open. The room where the master closet had been does not have any outlets for charging phones and we couldn’t turn on the outside lights by the driveway, so we unloaded the cars in the dark.

Good for overnight before a cruise!

Plenty of beds for our group of 16 kids and adults. Appreciated a high chair and port a crib for baby. Beds and pillows ok but not super comfortable at all. Easy check-in although it does make me a bit nervous to leave for a 6-hr drive and still haven’t received lock box code. Not really sure why the need to wait till last minute. If you tell me I can’t check in till 4:00, I’m not going to check in till 4:00. A/C worked fine. I would suggest if staying longer that guests bring some kitchen essentials. Only one giant wok-like skillet and never could find a pot holder to remove a pan from oven. Brought my own baking dishes for French toast and was glad I did as I didn’t see any 9x13 baking pans. Not many small plastic cups for kiddos to use. But plenty of plates and flatware. All in all it was sufficient for the needs of our family for overnight stay before a Disney Cruise. Did appreciate there were plenty of towels for everyone to shower. Also they had trash bags and plenty paper towels and TP for an overnight stay as well. It wasn’t pool season so won’t comment on the pool. It was a portable vinyl pool sitting in a rectangular hole of a deck.

Perfect choice!

We had a multigenerational family vacation including my parents who are in their late 70s, and my brothers and sisters and myself with our families that range from parents in the 40s and 50s to young adults, teens, and children as young a 6. This house was perfect. It’s set up with 2 bedrooms upstairs with multiple beds in each and 2 bathrooms up there, and a game room with foseball and arcade games and a big screen tv with a sofa upstairs. Perfect for the young adults and teens to hang out all night until whatever hours while the others sleep downstairs. It has a larger sized living room and kitchen table on the main floor and a well equipped open kitchen with ample counter space we used for serving the food. There is also a nice fire pit table in the deck and another full table outside (and a bathroom outside) for more space. The beach is a couple of blocks away and Schlitterbahn water park is about 2 miles away and that was all our kids wanted to do! We rented golf carts which were perfect for going back and forth to the beach and to shuttle kids back and forth from the water park. The house has an outside garden hose to get all the sand off so it doesn’t get all over the house. You have to cross two roads that have a decent amount of traffic so for the really young and really old, a golf cart or car is a better but it is definitely close enough to easily walk. The house is located in a quiet neighborhood and there is a nice gas station at the end of the street (half a block) that was easy access for snacks, ice, sodas, and beer. It is quick and easy to get to the historic area to shop and play. Also, Walmart is a 2 minute drive and there are a lot of really good places to get take out close by including several donut shops, a great BBQ place and we had some awesome Mexican food that was available family style catering on short notice. This house is laid out and located perfectly for large groups. Will definitely stay here again!

Great location. Walking distance to the beach. There was five of us that stayed in the house to go on a fishing trip the following day, but we got there kind of late so we’re not able to do much. The house has a decent size pool. Our boss liked the house a lot to look into renting it again for the family. There is a lot of room and a lot of bedrooms.

home near the seawall, Galveston

It was nicely remodeled, and had ample space to accommodate both the introverts and extroverts in the group. One thing to note is that there is a gap between the deck and above ground pool that a couple of our kids got their arms stuck in (and toys dropped down into the space). Beware. You'll also need to bring extra towels, b/c they only provide one towel per guest. The AC had trouble keeping up with the demands of the summer heat, so it often got up to 82 degrees in the house. We rolled with it, but if you have elderly people in your group, that could be an issue. Other than that, it was wonderful.

More Cons than Pros

Pros: -Near ocean-AC worked well-Manager responded quickly when sink had issue-Routine pool maintenance Cons:-Roaches in house-Poorly cleaned between guests (food crumbs in cabinets, floss in bathroom floor, garbage outside in grass)-Unable to utilize grassy area due to thorns -Pool deck felt unstable and had gaps between pool and deck where a child could get stuck or hurt-No steps to get out of Pool-No extra linens or throws -No bathroom amenities -No beach supplies in garage-Beds are very squeaky-No lights outside at night around pool-Dryer hardly worked-One bedroom door didn’t shut, latch broken-Huge shortage of towels for keeping such large groups-Washer was filled with toilet paper -No laundry soap provided-Water leaking thru kitchen light from upstairs shower-Plumbing is labeled “sensitive “ even though the rental is supposed to accommodate 20 people-No hooks or towel racks throughout entire homeOverall it served its purpose but I would not stay here again. I hope the host reviews the Con’s and can make some small changes that will positively impact future guests. Many of these were small inconveniences that just continued to add up
