Great stay at the Hermosa!

Our stay at the Hermosa was great! Clear view of the beach and there was a pathway right to the beach. In unit washer and dryer was really convenient and host provided laundry detergent. Good amount of towels provided and house was well air conditioned plus fans and window units.

Great location very close to the beach!!

When you can’t trust spring break weather, it is much more fun to be able to stroll over the dune to the beach whenever you feel like it instead of load everyone and all the stuff up and drive in the car. And when kids want to stay but it is too cold for mom, it is awesome to be able to supervise away from the wind in the shelter of the huge porch! House was very clean and well outfitted for our stay. Thanks for sharing your beach house with us!

Hello Zulema, Thank you for sharing your feedback. I’m truly sorry to hear that the home did not meet your expectations. While the listing does not state that the property is a beachfront property (it stated that it has beachfront Gulf view - which is correct), I understand how this may have caused some disappointment upon arrival, especially on a busy day at the public beach. Note that all Texas beaches are public beaches. In Sea Isle beach, the city installed sand bolsters to stop vehicles from driving in front of the houses. I also apologize for the inconvenience caused by the heavy rain and the door sweep not holding up as intended. We will have this checked right away to help prevent this from happening again for future guests. Your comments are very valuable to us, and we’ll continue working to make each stay as comfortable as possible. I hope you’ll consider giving us another chance in the future. Warm regards,

House needs massive repairs and sways in the wind. Would highly recommend a structural engineer to

Also loud beach parties very late at night at the public beach nearby.

Hello Jeremy, Thank you for taking the time to post a review. Noted, we will get an educated opinion and do the appropriate reinforcement if recommended. The houses in Galveston are designed with a specific live load for the structure when that live load is exceeded there might be some flexure which is normal when properly designed. The houses in Galveston are also designed to have flexure in high wind and hurricane conditions. The flexure acts like a damper to help the house from being blown away. thank you again and have a great day.

WONDERFUL!!

The HERMOSA BEACH HOUSE was perfect for our family. There were 11 in our family that stayed and the sleeping arrangements were great. We did have some issues when we first arrived, however, Maria was quick to respond and handled those issues very quickly! The location to the beach was perfect!! We absolutely loved the deck looking at the ocean! Thank you so much Maria, for letting us rent your home over the 4th of July, we absolutely had a wonderful time!!

Great time with the family!!!!

The house was nice, very clean and the kids had a great time choosing rooms. The bunk beds were a hit with the boys and my 70+ year old parents maneuvered the stairs with no issues. We were extremely close to the beach and the youngest kids went to the beach each day we were there. Everyone had a great time, no complaints at all. The owner, Maria was extremely responsive and we will be coming back in the future! Thank you!

Thanksgiving Gateway

Just steps from the beach! The location is great and the house was clean. The house has a big deck from where you can see the beach. Maria was very prompt at replying to my emails. The only reason my overall rating is four is because personally I felt the house was small for six adults and the deck does not have a gate. A gate would have been good because we had a small child and pets.

Thank you for taking the time to review and for taking care of my property. We installed the deck gate early this year but got broken during season rental. We plan to put a gate again before next season starts. Thanks for this feedback. House Size is always declared in the listing. I believe the house size is very good for a beachfront house and with the rate I charge. Most guests prefers to stay outside when weather permits.

All About BEACH Access and Views

If you want beach access just 50 ft away, this is your place. The Aggie neighbors may keep you awake, so be prepared to call the Sheriff. They are quick to tell them to turn it down. Other than that it was what we expected. This place is for those who want to be outside!! Plenty of space and privacy to enjoy the Gulf!!! Bring extra toilet paper and beach towels, otherwise all stocked up. We enjoyed the Kayaks!!

Great getaway in Sea Isle

We enjoyed our stay here very much. The house was clean, amenities like towels a-plenty. One stair step showed signs of cracking, so we were just careful where our foot landed on that step. Also, one of the door blinds didn't work but we still could enjoy the view. We followed the instructions to use the DVD player but the TV didn't seem to recognize it so the wiring might need to be looked into. The grass was just a little bit tall but that didn't pose any problems. Overall, we had a wonderful time. 2-3 minute walk to the beach, friendly neighbors, line of sight to the beach, quiet neighborhood. If you are looking for a quiet getaway far from crowded beaches , this is a wonderful option for you. Thank you, Maria, for sharing your home with us.

Thanks for taking time to review. We will look into the things you've mentioned specifically the one stair step (we didn't noticed this when we were there). Sorry about the grass, my cleaner supposed to get it mowed but I guess she forgot to call the mower. I will remind her. I'm glad you enjoyed your vacations.

Good...

Over all, the house was good. All the commodities, we did missed anything from home. But, patio furniture needs to be upgraded. There was a rocking chair that’s been glue together by a 5 year old, dangerous. And there’s that $200 cleaning fee. It was not all that clean, you could tell the floor and smelly bed covers. Thank God we always like to carry our own sheets and pillows. Grass was tall, over all landscaping need some work, it looked like no one been in the house for at list two in two weeks.

Thank you for your feedback. Late last year, we replaced some deck furnitures and added a picnic table. (picture will be updated later) We also added an enclosure to our outdoor shower. The bedsheets are cleaned every change of guests. I mentioned your feedback to my cleaner and she said it was washed every change of guests. I'll be more pro-active that this policy is always followed and also with the mowing schedule (sorry, my mower is not very good in following schedule). Btw, the cleaning fee is just increased to $200 starting Jan 24, 2019 so last year when you stayed it was only $150.

Hard to beat this location

50 yards from the beach is no exaggeration. Morning sunrises and evening sunsets across the way at the fishing pier. The house is very comfortable for eating and gathering in the living room. The 3 bedrooms are decent sized with tvs in each room. The kitchen has ample dishes and pots and pans. Bring all of your own spices, extra paper towels, extra dishwasher soap, baggies etc. Both bathrooms have plenty of clean white towels and hand soaps. There is one hairdryer in the cottage, but no plugs in either bathroom. There are two wooden benches on the deck and a picnic table. There are no comfortable chairs on the deck nor any beach chairs provided. Make sure you bring your own. The house is an older home that has clearly been heavily used and needs some maintenance. Of course, we were there in October, at the end of the season, and perhaps the owner was not aware of the maintenance needed. My 3 star review is based on the TLC needed. You will absolutely LOVE the location.

Thank you for taking the time to review. We always do our yearly updates before the rental season starts. October (when you arrived) is towards the end of the peak season. Sorry, before your arrival we removed some of the outdoor chairs because it got damaged by guest and didn't have time to replace. The outdoor furniture is now replaced (vrbo listing pic not updated yet). The outlet in bathrooms will be added.
