The house was spacious and well equipped. The location, steps from the beach, and view was awesome. I would definitely rent it again.

Family reunion
This is a tremendous property, it had everything we desired and some. We had a slight hiccup when we arrived on Friday night, but the owners were there in about 30 minutes to straighten it out.It’s a convenient location, not immediately within the hustle and bustle of Pleasure Pier, but short drive away.I would recommend over and over.
We loved the location and layout of the beach house. The beach was perfect. However, the location lacked decent toilet paper, sufficient towels for a 14 person house, and extra blankets.
Our extended family rents a beach house in Galveston every summer. We have rented a different house every year, but we are planning to come back to this house if available for 2026!

Enjoyed our stay!
The house was beautiful. In a great location. Nice places for dinner nearby.
We had a group of 14 friends stay here following a school event. The house layout was perfect for our needs and was immaculately clean and well-stocked. Communication was smooth and efficient. The best part was being able to see the water from the house and just a two minute walk to the beach.

Great Place to Stay
This place is awesome. It provides a breathtaking view of the beach. The house is comfortable and has everything you need. I will definitely rent it again. We had a large group and all enjoyed the property.
Our family had a great time and enjoyed our stay. We appreciated the close proximity to the beach, the big windows facing the ocean, the well stocked kitchen, the extra snacks they provided, the variety of children's books and games, and the modern interior design, furnishings and decor. We would all enjoy coming back to stay again in the future.
Sadly weather did not cooperate , property is very nicely decorated , clean, good beach location , you can see beach from house . All bedrooms except one on entrance level , kitchen living and one bedroom upstairs , would definitely stay again .
The House is amazing we had plenty of room for our family of 6
very clean and well stocked. Games, Ice maker!!!!
we loved it.
easy access to the beach and beautiful views
We can wait to go back!!!
Good space, close to the beach, plenty of kitchen supplies, 25 minutes to pleasure pier, bring your own beach chairs & canopy

Great home
The layout of the house was perfect. Several balconies to view to the beach. Just a lovely home.
Not many stores near the house so come prepared with all groceries you may need.

Friend Vacation
We had the most incredible stay at this beach house! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the stunning views, the clean and beautifully decorated interior, and the overall attention to detail throughout the property. The house was exactly as described—if not better—and fully equipped with everything we needed for a relaxing and stress-free vacation.Waking up to the sound of the waves and enjoying coffee on the deck was an absolute dream. The location is ideal—just steps from the beach yet private enough to feel like our own little slice of paradise. The host was responsive, kind, and made sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay.Whether you’re looking for a peaceful retreat or a fun family getaway, this beach house checks all the boxes. We’re already talking about coming back again soon. Highly, highly recommend!

From the owner:
"Thank you so much for the great feedback. We’re glad you had a wonderful stay! Hope to see you again soon!"
The house was beautiful just like the pictures. The location was perfect, accesses to the beach very convenient, views of the gulf from the decks was beautiful!
One of the pocket doors to the shared Hollywood bathroom was off the track and this was somewhat inconvenient. Also there was no community pool access as advertised.
We had a great time on our stay!

Not what I expected
Very disappointed with the overall experience. The property itself was incredible. I will book again but there were some things that happened that made experience less than ideal.

Response from VrboOwner on 7 May 2024
Hi Joicede, we're truly sorry to hear that your stay didn't meet your expectations. There was a communication error, and unfortunately, our cleaning crew wasn't aware of your booking. We want you to know that we've addressed this issue to prevent it from happening again.
As a gesture of goodwill, we have issued a refund and offered a free stay.
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us.
We had 3 generations staying in the house. It was a perfect arrangement for young boys in the bunk room, parents and grandparents in nice rooms with ensuites. We loved the beach access right at the property. We went down several times a day. The living area and kitchen were great to gather, cook, and play games at the same time. The outdoor shower was very much appreciated after the beach. We appreciated the beach items we could use out of the garage along with the grill.
The views from the balconies were great and they were another place to gather and enjoy the sound of the waves.
We plan to return to this property next year.

Several of the outlets didn't work in the bedrooms & bathrooms, the lift didn't work even though the property says it's "wheelchair accessible". We have a child in a wheelchair and that was a reason we booked the house, wouldn't recommend for anyone who can't trek up tons of stairs.

Jordan, upon reviewing our listing, we found no indication that the property is wheelchair accessible. It appears there might have been a misunderstanding in the listing details provided by Evolve. We are actively working to ensure that this information is corrected if it incorrectly lists our property as wheelchair accessible. Our existing lift, which is currently under repair, is designed for cargo and not rated for public or wheelchair use. We truly regret any inconvenience this may have caused and are keen on making our property welcoming for everyone, including those requiring wheelchair access.However, we must prioritize safety and cannot permit the use of the cargo lift for such purposes. Please extend our sincere apologies to the guest for this oversight and any confusion it caused. We are committed to resolving these issues promptly and will also be inspecting and repairing any non-functional outlets on the property. We never intended to misrepresent our property's accessibility features, and we are taking immediate steps to address these concerns to prevent future misunderstandings. Thank you for bringing this to our attention and please ensure the guest is aware of our commitment to making necessary corrections and updates.
