Bday Trip

This was our second time staying at this property. We enjoyed it just as much as we did the first time. The house was clean and fully stocked with everything we needed. The beach is within a 7 min walk. The beds were very comfortable. The game table was a treat and my daughter and her friend had fun playing the various games. We were very happy with our stay and would definitely recommend.

We had a very good time. The house is a great location to the beach. It has wagons, coolers, chairs, beach toys, anything you would need for the beach! Inside the house was nice and clean. Plenty of towels. It has lots of leftover things in the pantry for use, some of it was a little old, but very useful if needed. The grill was a little rough, could use a new one, but there was propane provided. Overall, we would stay at this property again!

Pirates Beach, Galveston

Had a wonderful stay at this little gem of a beach house! Ultra modern beach house, with a fantastic deck to sunbath, enjoy, eat, and relax. House is so inviting with comfortable beds, great kitchen/dinning area to use and enjoy. Great location to the beach and Galveston. Perfect place to stay for a relaxing beach getaway.

Excellent Get Away Spot

We really enjoyed our time here, the spot was a short walk from the beach and a close drive to many attractions. We spent a lot of time in the morning on the back deck, soaking in the sun and jamming out to the neighbor's tunes. Friendly neighborhood, a very well-kept area that does not disappoint!

Wonderful getaway for our family of 5 with young kids. We loved walking to the beach and playing in the waves everyday. The house was comfortable and had everything we needed to cook on our own. The outdoor shower was awesome for keeping the sand out of the house. Overall wonderful vacation spot!

We had such a nice stay, even on coldish weekend. Very nice rooms, kitchen, furnishings inside, super deck furniture outside. The game table really helped in the evenings, young adults playing pool, ping pong, & poker into the wee hours. Will miss it when we can’t find it unbooked!

Great family house

My husband, 15 yo son, and two babies under two stayed here, and it was great. The kitchen was stocked with non perishables, bathrooms had travel sized toiletries, and there were even beach toys, wagons, and small coolers for the beach. It really made packing easier. There house is about three blocks from the beach, so it’s easy to pack a wagon and walk over. I loved that it was close enough to walk back with my babies for their naps.

50th Anniversary of Historical Society Homes Tour

We came to town for the homes tour. The rental met all our needs and was very safe and comfortable. We were disappointed to realize that the 2nd bath is down by the driveway and cannot be accessed without leaving the living area. The home had a well stocked kitchen with cookware and serving ware abundant. There was a lot of non perishable pantry items which was great for the 1st mornings coffee time. I slept better than I sleep in my own bed. It was very quiet, peaceful, comfortable and safe.

Nice house with some issues

Initially, the house was wonderful. Very clean and house amenities were nice. House is located in a lovely neighborhood and the walk to beach wasn’t too long. Our only complaint is that the hot water stopped working midway through our stay and property manager was notified several times. The issue wasn’t fixed before we left. Also, while the house has a lot of beach materials- chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, chairs were rusted, umbrellas were broken, and boogie boards unusable. One plus was the wagon available to bring materials to beach.

Hi Lauren, thanks for letting us know about your stay. We followed up with the homeowner after reading your feedback, and they would like to share the following: We genuinely regret that your stay did not meet your expectations, as we take our short-term rental reviews seriously. The only concern that had come to our attention was related to the water heater, which stopped working towards the end of your stay. Unfortunately, we received notification of this issue at 9:30 PM the night before your scheduled check-out, making it logistically impossible for us to address it promptly. To acknowledge this inconvenience, we issued a refund to alleviate the situation. We trust that the steps we took to rectify the issue and provide a refund helped mitigate some of the inconveniences you encountered. We want to assure you that we take all mentioned inconveniences seriously, and we are committed to addressing them thoroughly to enhance the experience for future guests. Your feedback is instrumental in our continuous efforts to provide a high-quality stay for our guests. Thank you for choosing our property, and we look forward to any future opportunities to host you.

Quick Family Getaway

We enjoyed our stay at this sweet little house but had a few things that weren’t what we expected. The washing machine was broken and had stagnant water sitting in it. We didn’t realize that there was only 1 bathroom upstairs and that the second one was located downstairs. The railing near the keypad entrance door needs attention before some tries to lean on it. The deck wasn’t in great shape and shoes needed to be worn while walking on it. It was very clean and the neighborhood was lovely. It needs some TLC but we enjoyed our stay.

Awesome space and close to the beach!

I went with family for my birthday weekend and it was a blast! The driveway was large enough to fit my entire family and we were able to avoid parking on the street! This beach house has everything you need. Comfy beds, washer/dryer, outdoor shower, nice bathrooms, new appliances, and everything you need to go to the beach. They even have beach towels and chairs. All you need to bring is your swimsuit and sunblock! Even the pull out sofa beds were super soft and comfy. The deck was huge and could accommodate everyone for a nice dinner outside. The full bathroom was so convenient to have downstairs so we could take bathroom breaks while we lounged around in the hammocks downstairs. They also had a gas grill to bbq. The beach was close enough to walk or ride a bike and was clean. It was super easy to contact the owners and they were quick to respond to our questions. The place was immaculately clean. Can’t wait to book again!

Quick getaway!

My daughter wanted a beach house getaway for her 17th birthday. This house was perfect! We had 4 of her friends join us and the 2nd bedroom was able to accommodate them all. The house was so clean and nicely decorated. It has a gaming table that has multiple game options that the kids really loved. It was just a short 6 min walk to the beach. We could have stayed a whole week and had been perfectly happy! I definitely recommend!

My family of 7 stayed here the last 4 nights and it’s been a great experience. It’s nice and clean, comes with lots to do at the beach or to have on the beach. lol sand toys, chairs, boogy boards and a wagon to pull it with. There is a ton of seating and comfortable. And it’s a short distance to the ocean. I would stay here again.

Never rent this home. They have four security cameras and watch every move outside of the home. No idea if the have them inside home. They have to adhere to rules vrbo has and they do not follow the rules.

Policy enforcement from vrbo If a host violates this surveillance policy and a guest leaves a property because of this violation, the host may be required to refund the entirety of the stay. Violations could also result in removal from our platform. While local rules and regulations may vary, we feel that physical and digital privacy is a critical component of a safe and trusted marketplace. Therefore, we'll enforce our policy even if local laws are less restrictive.
Response from VrboOwner on 27 May 2022
Hi Danny, we always appreciate hearing from our guests but the homeowner would like to clarify the following: - As common in the vacation rental industry, this home features exterior-facing cameras for the safety of our guests. These do not face interior spaces and are clearly noted on our listing. - We're sorry if this caught you off-guard, but do expect all guests to respect house rules throughout their stay. We do all we can to make the best possible stay, and we look forward to this property hosting many satisfied guests.
