The house was good, Refrigerator were tricky at first. Contacted the host and they had maintenance out that night to fix the fridge. The kitchen wasn't fully stocked of some things we needed for cooking. Make sure to bring mosquito repellant. Any time we left we got eaten alive! The house itself was very clean and comfy. Located about 30mins from Galveston proper depending on the traffic. Was far enough out where there weren't a ton of people around but close enough to go to town and do the touristy stuff. Close to the beach and there is a grocery store close by as well. We would 100% book here again.

Cute house close to the beach!

The house is decorated so cute and has all of the necessary amenities you would need. Loved how close to the beach it was with a few minutes away from the house. The guest service was also amazing!

Great vacation home!

We enjoyed our stay, just a few minor adjustments would have made it a 5 star rental! We loved the location and the inclusiveness of the pets with the dog bed. Great touch!

Great quick beach getaway

The decor, cleanliness, and mattress selection was top notch. Great house, we have stayed before and will stay again! Slight cigarette smell would be my only criticism if previous renters had broken that policy.

Family holiday

Had a wonderful stay with my family for a late Christmas. House was great and had everything we needed. Bunk room was awesome for the kids. Location was perfect, a little out of Galveston main area but still very close to everything we wanted to do. Highly recommend.

Perfectly Located

This property is in a quiet location but close enough to go into Galveston for dinner. The house definitely has a smoke smell and a few things need a little extra cleaning. Beds were comfortable and kitchen has most everything we needed.

Great location near beach!

We enjoyed how close this property is to the beach and how much room the house had. There were some upkeep issues as well as lack of communication from host when we reached out. Overall, we had a great trip, just wish that the house was better taken care of and that we when we communicated with the host, someone would have helped us out.

Super cute

This is a cute home that is very clean, nicely decorated and a great layout. Though the sofas in the living area are showing age and some wear and tear, the rest of the home was great.

Wished we could stay longer

We enjoyed our stay, rental was exactly as we expected (other than broken hammock) Guest services made our stay even better. When they found out we were missing a coffee pot and grill, they immediately delivered a coffee pot and bought a new grill for us to use. I will stay with Vacasa again.

Thank you for staying with us. We look forward to hosting you for a true 5-star stay in the future.

Just what we needed

We landed here after our original booking was a bust. The pics are accurate and the space was great for our family of 4. The kitchen was well appointed and the appliances were new and easy to operate. The sofas and beds were comfy and front porch was very peaceful. Just be sure to bring your bug spray!
