Amazing time!

The house and pool were just as pictured and clean! We loved the location of the house as it was near the strip but in a quiet neighborhood. It was exactly what we were looking for and we would definitely consider staying again!

Nice pool to cool off in

Close drive to the beach or convenience stores. Nice pool to cool off in. Property manager and owners responded to a small issue promptly and took care of it.

Great the second time around

This is the second summer for us to rent this property. It is great for our needs. In very nice condition and very well appointed and stocked with all your short-term needs. The pool in the afternoon, after a morning at the beach, is a great combination. The lift for moving your stuff up and down is a must! Great support from the local representative and owner.

Great vacation

Pool was great. Clean place. Easy to navigate around the island. Quiet. It made us feel like we had the whole neighborhood to ourselves. Having our own laundry and kitchen made for a relaxing week.

Cozy Weekend Getaway

This property was just what I was looking for. Far enough away from the seawall to get away from crowds but still within reach to make the day trips in. House was the perfect size for my family (4 adults, 1 toddler) and the pool was used quite often. House was clean upon arrival, everything was easily accessible, and the property manager was very responsive for one bit of info that wasn't made available up front. Cargo lift was a nice bonus considering the heat and ages of some of the guests. Would definitely book this property again in the same situation.

Quick weekend get away

Overall nice property, spacious enough for us, comfortable. Good location for what we were looking for. I understand this( prob only have weekly pick up ) but outside trash was overflowing and smelled so, so bad. Made being outside unpleasant. I would have someone get it more than once a week. The pool was nice to have but was full of sand( I get that too, even though there is an outdoor shower) and kind of dirty. Looked like at some point there had been an auto pool cleaner but it was out of the pool and didn’t look like it had worked in awhile. My husband netted the best he could. Also grill was super filthy and brush to clean was awful. We never figured out the lift either ( although I saw the email we were supposed to print, sign and send back a waiver…too late once we got there) Overall it was a nice place, very quiet area and not a far drive to beach. Would stay here again.

Overall good place to stay

The house was great for the most part and was nicely kept. Downsides were that the beds weren’t super comfy, but that’s not unusual for rentals and the downstairs with king size doesn’t have a bathroom. Only negative we had was not getting the door code locks to work the first time. We had to work at it to get them unlocked and then when we left they wouldn’t lock for us. 🤷‍♀️Mosquitoes are terrible so take some bug spray for sure. (That’s just Galveston and due to all the rain lately too-no fault of the home/owners)Also the house was further from the beach than I had thought but that was my own fault for not looking closely at a map before booking. It was still close, but couldn’t walk to it had to drive a very short distance.

Great Galveston Getaway

Last week we experienced a wonderful stay at Galveston Getaway. The location, though not on the beach, is in a quiet neighborhood literally 3 minutes away by car.The home is nicely furnished and clean. The kitchen is well-stocked with dishes, pots, pans and utensils. There are beach towels for the guests to use. For us, its most unique and advantageous features are a wonderful pool and a lift for transporting coolers, boxes and luggage to the upper level. The pool is very clean and has a shaded portion in summer afternoons. Since it has entry steps and shallow areas, it was perfect for us and our three young grandkids, when they visited. Everyone loved it. No review of this property would be complete without a thank-you to the Evolve property manager, Crystal, for her outstanding service and support. She was accommodating to our questions and unique needs with exceptionally quick callbacks and responsiveness. The actual property owner gave us a follow-up call once we were back home and thanked us for staying. It was nice to have direct contact with the owner.Galveston Getaway is most definitely a place to stay again!

Fell short of listing/Roach Motel

This place needs a complete and detail cleaning, starting with the walls and baseboards. It needs to be exterminated for roaches. I was so afraid that they would get into our luggage, and thank God they didn’t. We checked everything before we left. The microwave that is above the stove did not work. They were called and she said someone would bring one out and put it up. He brought it out and left. Each time we left we had to fool with the lock that wouldn’t work, and had to go down stairs to a lock box to get the key each time. The banister on the balcony was loss and about to fall. There was a pool that had a cleaner in the bottom, so we called to see if we needed to take it out before getting in it. They never called us back. The pool funiture pads were ripped to shreds and not able to sit in. The third bedroom was so deceiving. It was the pool room and had no bathroom, so if you needed to go to the bathroom you would have to go outside and go up the stairs, and fool with the lock to use the bathroom. I do not recommend this place.
