Nice, very spacious. The door was unlocked when we arrived. The white microwave in the kitchen doesn’t work and the black microwave was locked up so it couldn’t be used. Bedrooms that are facing the water get very hot in the afternoon but the house comes with plenty of fans which was super nice.

The Perfect Getaway

This truly is a charming, oceanfront home with amazing views! We had a wonderful time and the check in and check out process was smooth and easy. The house accommodates large groups and we especially liked that every bedroom had their own bathroom. Beach is only a few feet away and it makes trips to the beach so easy! Hosts and management are friendly and quick to reply to questions. We'll be coming back for sure! Highly recommned!

Easy access to beach and plenty of living and entertainment space. Some appliances (eg. dishwasher) needed to fixed or upgraded. Otherwise, nice rental and we would stay there again.

Best Beach Location Ever!

This is a large HOME, not a hotel. It is not perfectly pristine or sterile. However, my experience was great! The house is BIG and literally steps from the beach/water - you cannot beat it's location! House is large and has all the comforts one could need for a vacation. It was clean, modern and had everything needed for a very comfortable stay! We would definitely recommend staying at this house! Experience with Vacasa was excellent!

Check in was difficult

We couldn't get the lockbox openand it took hours for someone to respond with the correct code. We also had no upstairs air conditioning for 2 days of our stay. I was on the phone trying to get in contact with owner to send someone. The nights were uncomfortable to sleep those 2 nights. The location was great and the home was very spacious for our 11 people. Bring beach toys and chairs because non were available at this property

Dishwasher & Hot Water

The dishwasher was inoperable and had been even before our stay. The kitchen sink hot water did not work so we had to boil water to wash all of our dishes. The property was a great lay-out and location, but the property owner needs to replace the dishwasher and fix the hot water issue. There were also no pot holders. The kitchen linens were not adequate probably because of the dishwasher issue. Otherwise, loved the property.

Mixed

Nice house with good location, but not well maintained and cheaply stocked. Dishwasher was not working when we checked in and was never repaired or repair replaced with zero owner response to our multiple requests and a price adjustment. Furniture needs to be upgraded. Walls marked up and need painting with some ants in the kitchen. Some bedding had stains so not useable, some pillows didn’t have pillow cases and bath towels were cheap/thin. Allegedly stocked, but you need to bring your own soap, laundry detergent, washing liquid, etc. since what was provided was very limited. Disappointing.

Great view, subpar property

Pros- soaps, shampoos provided. View and private beach. Clean sheets and towels, plenty of space. Cons- carpets dirty, musty smell walking in, limited utensils and cookware. Trash from someone previously on floor and porch (broken sunglasses, tobacco trash and can). Living room fan doesn’t work. When I asked about the fan, I was told I should check the breaker box to see if there were shorted out wires ( I said we would not). Furniture is old, holy and broken. Master beds are very hard/ firm.

Family Vacation

The view from the house is beautiful. It is located very close to the beach. The house itself is beautiful. Other than that, I can't really say much good. I tried for over a week to cancel our booking & get a refund due to the hurricane. 3 people online & 2 people on the phone told me that yes, we would absolutely be getting a refund given the circumstances. (There was no electricity.) Then 1 day before we were supposed to leave I got an email saying we were not getting a refund and the case was closed. I had trouble getting anyone to respond. We ended up driving 13 hours so we wouldn't lose our money just to find the code for the keypad didn't work or the code for the lockbox (we couldn't get into that until the next day.) The internet was not working, (which I understand with a hurricane but it would have been nice to know that considering I needed to work from my laptop). The house was not clean. We had no kitchen washcloths or towels, no washcloths or handtowels in any of the bathrooms, only 1 roll of papertowels & 1 trash bag in the kitchen, the ice maker didn't work & when I pulled it out it was filthy!!! The kitchen was full of ants. There was black mold in several places on the ceiling, chandelier was filthy, basically I had to deep clean & disinfect the house before we could use it. We went to get dishes out of the cupboard & they were dirty so I had to run them all through the dishwasher before we could use them. When I wiped out the cupboard it was g

April 2024 Galveston

House was very clean and smelled nice. They had turned on the a/c and fans to make sure it was fresh. New carpet in the bedrooms and second floor stairs. The first floor stairs form the ground had older carpet and it was stained from people coming in from the beach and still wet, probably from the outside shower. Would be better if these stairs were tiled. Also the walls in the stairwells had marks from people hitting the walls with their stuff. Not sure how you could prevent this.
