The houses were as described and the pool was clean. The cleaning service they use could be better but the sheets smelled clean and there was plenty of towels. Make sure you pack your own soap, shampoo, and conditioner. But they did provide enough dish soap for a few days. Other than that it was a pleasant stay the neighborhood is good. Not alot of traffic.

Thanks for your review! We love hearing from our guests. We can’t wait to host you again soon.
The floors were not clean, we found roaches, there were leaves everywhere in the back. Made it unpleasant to be back there.There is a musty smell in the back bedroom with the TV in it. Gave me have a headache had to move rooms. I found black mold where the water comes into the washer. Got on clothes being washed. On a good note overall it was a decent stay. Plenty of rooms for everyone. Enjoyed cooking in the kitchen. Plenty of cook ware, plates, silverware etc. it was nice having the washer and dryer.
Our stay in Galveston was pretty good for a large group. Communication with the host was easy, and so was access to the property. The house was clean, spacious, and had most amenities. Some feedback- there are limited cooking supplies and soap/ body products in the kitchen and bathroom, respectively. There is also no separate bathroom in the main house, which made it a little difficult when every bathroom was connected to a bedroom. Overall, nice location and very close to the beach, and a great mini golf spot! Didn't get to enjoy the pool, but the outdoor area was very peaceful.

We appreciate your review. Our goal is that every guest would have a 5-star experience and when we fall short, we take that feedback very seriously. We will address the concerns you raised with our team.
This house is located in an area within easy reach of many Galveston attractions. The house is well appointed with all kitchen items you might need and was very clean. The host was easy to communicate with. There are several beds and two bathrooms. You can only enter the bathrooms through a bedroom. While we were there it was cold so could not use the pool which was only half full. The neighborhood has several empty houses which did concern us. The bed in the master bedroom has a broken frame which made the mattress tilt 3-4” in one corner making sleeping difficult so we moved to a different room. The frame should be repaired.

A very comfortable and well-appointed location for our family trip. The group included children 4 and up, their parents and aunt and their grandparents. The layout worked well for all of us. The decor was bright and fresh. The kitchen had every pot, pan, and small appliance needed. Highly recommend!

House worked for a day stay. The bathrooms are a bit weird as they are inside the rooms so it can get tricky if you have a big party. House has plenty of cooking items…strange they had coffee but no sugar but it was no biggie. Overall was a great stay and close to the port which is what we needed.
