Overall it was nice. The elevator doors stick sometimes. The grill was useless they need a new one. The upstairs bedroom doors wouldn’t stay shut no pin. Home was beautiful just need to fix a few small problems.

I am glad you enjoyed your stay. We do provide video instructions for both the elevator and the hurricane doors. Unfortunately, the instructions weren't followed causing the doors to stick and the bedroom doors to not stay closed. Had you called, I could have helped with both problems. I am always available to assist.

Great house and prime location. The beach was essentially 'private' at this time of year and due to no vehicles allowed at this part of the beach. The balconies were fantastic and had tons of provided seating. Inside was really comfortable and provided plenty of space for gathering. The elevator made luggage and supplies simple to get upstairs.

This house is gorgeous and is right on the beach! The decor and the amenities are outstanding! I have rented many properties in Pirates Beach and this is my favorite. We loved our stay here, and would absolutely love to stay here again. I also must say that the property manager James was so helpful and such a delight.

Perfect set up and location. Right on the beach!

The ground level has a deck with chairs perfect for watching children playing on the beach. The interior is well appointed, spacious as well as having two upper great decks for relaxing and hanging outside. Plenty of deck seating and dining on the main deck.

It was a wonderful house. The beach front location was spectacular. The tile work was to die for! However, there were 10 of us & 4 kids under 6 (2 babies). We only can rent houses with washer/dryers. Unfortunately, the dryer didn’t work. The host was quick to get it looked at, but the part had to be ordered. We had to purchase a drying rack and hang clothes outside. The host provided a link to the local laundromat but that wasn’t feasible for us. With the high price we paid to rent the house, I was disappointed. Also, all the kitchen cabinets were very full. There was not a pantry. For such a large house/occupancy, there needs to be space for groceries. The elevator was wonderful for loading and unloading. The bedrooms and bathrooms were great.

Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the spectacular beachfront location, beautiful tile work, spacious bedrooms and bathrooms, and the convenience of the elevator—especially with a large group and young children. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by the dryer not working during your stay. While we’re glad our host responded quickly and arranged for it to be serviced, we understand that waiting for a replacement part and having to air-dry clothes was frustrating, particularly with two babies and a large group. We appreciate your patience and understanding while the repair was being addressed. Additionally, we didn't just point you to a laundromat. We let you know of a drop off service only minutes away and offered to cover the cost of having your clothes laundered. We understand that it is important and want to make your stay as easy as possible. Thank you as well for pointing out the limited kitchen storage and lack of pantry space. Your feedback is very helpful, and we’ll evaluate how we can better accommodate groceries and supplies for larger groups. We truly appreciate your feedback and hope to have the opportunity to host you and your family again, providing the comfortable and convenient experience you deserve.

Great house right on the beach!

We have stayed in many different homes in Galveston, but this one had the best access to the beach of any of the homes we have rented. We loved being able to walk right off the deck onto the beach. The kitchen was very well stocked and having an ice machine and elevator was wonderful. The bedrooms and bathrooms were very nice and clean. It was also great to have the balcony with no access to the stairs for our toddlers. We had a great stay and will rent here again.

My family recently stayed at this beautiful home and had an amazing experience. James, the property manager, was super responsive and made booking easy.The house is stunning—spacious, modern, and right on the beach. The views from the large windows are breathtaking.It’s perfect for large groups. The layout gives everyone plenty of space. When not at the beach, we loved hanging out in the living room and on the balcony.The beds are incredibly comfortable, and the rooms feel cozy.Overall, this place exceeded expectations. James made everything smooth, and we can’t wait to come back!

The home is even better than the description. It was absolutely perfect. The response time from the host (James) was super quick. The property included lots of amenities. The only thing missing were beach chairs and an umbrella. But with an Academy not far, that problem was solved. Would we stay there again? ABSOLUTELY!!!

Right place wrong time

The home is beautiful as well as the location. The hot tub was left unusable by the previous tenants and construction started the day after we arrived (tearing up the beach and property on either sides of the driveway) it was loud and busy with trucks coming and going. I think this property would be an easy 5 stars on most days.

Family time

The house is beautiful. Lots of room. A huge plus is that it is on the beach that cars do not drive on. You will feel safe with children. A huge plus for us is that it was a non-smoking home. I had my pregnant granddaughter who has lung issues and my 95yr old mom. The elevator was needed for both of them. The large decking is wonderful for beach viewing and just hanging out.
