We liove Windy Gate

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This stay was our 3rd time retuning to Windy Gate. It’s a perfect home for a family vacation and we look forward to bring our children and grandchildren back next year. We had visited right after the island got hit with a storm. Access to the beach from the wonderful deck was the only thing we wished would have been better but on the whole, it was once again a perfect visit.

Ocean views with easily accessible, uncrowded beach

We all had a wonderful time! Great ocean views and balconies off of every bedroom and the living room. Our hosts had everything we needed, from kitchen accessories, extra bedding, games, to the full range of beach needs. A memorable vacation!

Pay very close attention to the negative reviews before making a reservation. We wish we had.This property is disgusting and severely neglected and is absolutely not worth nearly 2,800 for three nights. The location is convenient, but that is the only positive.The house has serious humidity and moisture issues upstairs, with visible mold growing on multiple artwork frames. There was heavy dust and buildup around the air vents, dirty kitchen cabinets and drawers, stained pillows and furniture, and even bath towels that had been folded and placed on the beds while still wet.The pest problem was unacceptable. We had to kill more than three live cockroaches in the kitchen and two upstairs, in addition to finding dead cockroaches, wasps, and live ants. We were told the property receives pest control, but clearly the underlying cleanliness issues have not been addressed.The cabinets and drawers were covered in grime, food debris, and buildup, making it seem like they hadn’t been properly cleaned in years. The house is also packed with dusty decor and unnecessary furniture.Management needs to actually inspect this property and address these issues—not simply claim they have been resolved. The photos we are including speak for themselves.This house took away from our entire vacation. We would never stay here again and strongly recommend that you do not book it. Read the negative reviews and look closely at the photos before

Love the easy access to the beach. Even though the beds were queen size, it was better than most kings at rentals. Easy to check in and out. Had everything you could need. Loved the antique vibe.

I don’t ever do bad reviews but this place was disgusting. When we arrived hair was on sheets toothpaste in sink. Nothing seemed clean at all. Stains everywhere. Had to put towels down on the couches to sit to feel any comfort. Roaches on the ground. The house stunk like it had been sitting there when we arrived. I would not recommend this place to anyone without a complete renovation.

Family vacation!

Great house for a crowd! A master with bath for the grandparents on the main floor, a master with bath for the parents and another big bath and two other bedrooms on the second floor. Good beds and linens, lots of kitchenware and a big table for ouzzles, games and meals. Plus, a great shady porch with a wonderful view overlooking the boardwalk with steps down to the beach. We had a great time and are looking forward to staying again next summer!

Exactly what we needed

Perfect. Love the location. Love the down stairs entry way. Cons-(not house fault) mosquitos were horrible. The path to beach was over grown; look like wasn’t used much- so we used the house next door bridge since that house is under construction and no one there

Quiet week on the beach

Windygate provided a lovely quiet week long vacation for my family. The house is far enough from public access on both sides that there is minimal foot traffic on the beach. The kitchen was completely stocked with cooking implements. Every cabinet was full so there was no pantry to stash our supplies and we had to stack our food on the counter. There is a gas grill on the balcony and a charcoal grill downstairs. The gas grill was hard to keep lit during high wind, so having the charcoal option was very useful. The best part was a first floor foyer, which we called the “staging area,” that connected to internal stairs. The staging area allowed us to stash our items during storms without worrying that beach gear would blow away.

Run down, dirty, poorly maintained

The cliff notes - Moldy shower liner, stained towels, stained linens, mold and moisture on the walls, dirty bathrooms, house is cluttered with dusty knick-knaks, broken chairs, way too much furniture to even move around the house. Property manager came out on day 1 and replaced the shower liner and brought new towels, told me the cleaning crew, plumber and maintenance would be out the next day to address all of the issues. One cleaning lady showed up and changed the sheets on one bed, mopped one bathroom, and sprayed bleach in one shower. None of the other issues were addressed. And there was no follow up with us to see if anything had been resolved. The house is clearly not being maintained and there is very little attention being given between guests. We had family staying in an adjacent house and if location wasn't a priority, we would have immediately left. I wouldn't recommend to anyone.
One of the many broken chairs in the house. This was in a bedroom. In addition there was a broken barstool and a broken dining room chair.
All of the vents and returns looked like this. Everything was covered with dust.

Great location but cluttered

This house has a great location and is in good condition, the online photos are accurate. Everything important worked (AC, plumbing, dishwasher, appliances, etc.). The slider on the main level didn't slide or lock easily, and became next to impossible to deal with. Bring your own beach accessories. Not 5 stars because there is just too much furniture in all the wrong places! It's difficult to actually have people comfortably in rooms because the furniture is always in the way (e.g., beds and seating in front of doors leading to the decks, fragile decorative desks and chairs in corners with seemingly no purpose, limited closet space with no area to store luggage, a gigantic table and side hutch in a tiny dining area, more clutter in the side hutch rendering it useless, chairs that don't reach the height of the giant table . . .). The clutter in the kitchen was overwhelming--too much of everything and no place to store food. And the non-stick cookware is abundant, old, and scratched beyond being safe to use. For the price, we're moving on to another house for next year. Less is more, folks, particularly when you have such a nice location.

Excellent Property Management

We were alarmed when we arrived a little early for check-in and had the property manager tell us the house wasn't quite ready yet because the cleaners had reported the a/c unit was "struggling." Turned out it had died, on a Friday afternoon, when Galveston temps were higher than ever before in living memory. We thought our trip was ruined, but the host had a repair crew there in an hour and a brand new a/c unit installed within three. Pretty impressive. We were also impressed two nights later when the storm blew a utility line down, blocking the driveway. A call to the host at 9 am had an emergency repair crew there from the power company in less than an hour. The house is fine--lots of kitchen utensiles and basic staples. The rooms are comfy enough, if a tad small. The deck is great and the living/dining area is ok, though maybe a bit overstuffed with furniture. My biggest gripe was a paucity of shelves in the fridge and the absence of a grease drip pan for the grill on the deck (we told the host about this on checkout and they promised to fix). The beach is quiet and uncrowded--far from Galveston's mobs. The walkover is nice and the decks have beautiful views and plenty of room (the deck chairs could use some cushions). We've stayed in around a dozen Galveston beach houses over the years. This one is very good for the price, and you could not ask for more responsive management.
