Property was older, but well kept. Some maintenance needed on A/C platform, dryer would not dry and had to be pulled out from the wall so air flow could be attained to dry towels; west bathroom water heater kept tripping breaker; minor inconveniences that only matter when you're tired because you spent all day on the beautiful private beach. A little pricey but all in all a decent value when you consider the location and privacy.

A great location - super easy access to the beach and close enough to the busy areas but far enough to where you had some privacy. Check-in was very straightforward and communication was great. The property had some maintenance issues (missing/broken door handles in the bathroom, broken toilet seats, shower doors off the track, etc) that were a mild annoyance and should be repaired. But overall, had a good experience

We also had the luxury of meeting indoors and outdoors. The beds were very comfortable, and the kitchen had EVERYTHING we needed. It was a wonderful weekend. The location was perfect!

Perfect Get Away

Great location, it is 1 hour from downtown Houston! It is on one of the best beaches we have been to in Galveston. The house is right on the beach and deck is perfect for hanging out after the long day at the beach. We had 5 couples and we had plenty of space to cook each night and then enjoy the sunsets! The only thing we had a complaint about was that as mentioned in the other reviews they need to replace some light bulbs, but other than that we loved the house and we will be going back for sure.

Paradise on the beach!

This was a fantastic place to stay for myself and 2 other families. Plenty of space. Location was amazing...close to grocery stores and restaurants, and being steps from the ocean was great. A few things in the kitchen need updating. The dishwasher was broken: the shelves barely held dishes and the top sprayer was broken off and laying on the floor. The small oven and griddle don't light. A few fun board games and puzzles, but no beach toys...make sure to bring your own buckets and shovels! Overall was a great, relaxing, and fun vacation on the beach.

Spacious home, gorgeous beach location

The house was perfect for our extended family of 10. 6 adults and 4 cousins age 6-10. Each individual family had plenty of private space and there were 2 separate inside gathering areas to keep everyone comfortable and happy. The beach was an absolute highlight. The outdoor deck and patio areas were perfect. We purchased and/or brought our own beach toys, towels, and beach tent. Some of the furnishings getting a bit worn and though the oven was large, the main oven door didn’t close completely affecting cooking times//temps. Overall, the house and all its amenities met our needs well, helping us create a wonderful family memory of Galveston.

Great Location!

Great location and the house was very clean. However the house needs to be updated as we had several issues from door handles falling off, satellite not working, clogged sink, broken dishwasher and ice maker, etc. Nothing too bad, but items that should have been handled prior to renting out. I would also strongly recommend a different management company. The lack of urgency from phone calls and the unprofessional behavior of Taylor left a terrible taste in our mouth.

All issues that were reported to us were handled immediately. As we explained with the current COVID-19 virus we were trying to limit exposure by only scheduling emergency maintenance issues during stays. However, plumbing and maintenance were still sent out. Some of the issues listed above were never reported. I apologize we were unable to do anything for the power outage for a few hours; that was due to a car wreck hitting a nearby power pole. That issue was out of our control. I apologize that these issues happened during your stay, but we handled all matters professionally and in a timely matter.

Highly recommend

We are a blended family and had a large group to accommodate. The house was extremely comfortable, the kitchen perfect for cooking for a big group, the bedrooms pretty and private. The house looks exactly like the photos. The view of the ocean is beautiful and the water is just steps from the back deck. We had a service deliver chairs and a canopy to our beach every morning and it was just perfect. The location is great as it’s not too far from downtown Galveston and there are also a few really good restaurants nearby. Waterman’s and Coopers were both very good with excellent fresh seafood. The house is also a very short walk down the beach from a fun beachside bar; the Tipsy Turtle, where several of our young adult children would go for a drink and a few hours of fun. All in all it was a much better location than staying further down the island. We will definitely be back and won’t hesitate to stay here again!

From Barbie Dream House to Roach Motel

This property and location is beautiful. The house has lavishing decor throughout. The views and location were phenomenal. The size was perfect to comfortably accommodate 12-14 guest and still allow everyone to have privacy. The decks, private beach, grill were enjoyable. Our only issues was roaches in the kitchen, living room and eating area. We killed about 8 of them the first night. We contacted the host who had someone come out to treat the home within hours. It is appreciated but the experience had us on edge most of the trip. It was hard to relax. We paid too much money to have to stomp roaches in a million dollar home. The cleaning fee was expensive so I don’t feel we got our money’s worth. There were traps in the pantry so the host knew it was an issue before we arrived. The hot water in the shower of the master suite on the west side of the home didn’t get hot either. That wasn’t as big of a deal as the roaches though.

Disappointed

This property must have been photographed years ago! It is listed as a "Premier Property" and it just did not meet up to those expectations.... couch in main living room is actually coming apart. .kids were afraid to sleep in bunk beds because of missing slats...toilets continually stopping up (wondered why there were plungers in every bath room!?) Bottom of dishwasher was in pieces! Tub in one of masters is NOT for bathing...it is a hot tub for two people with faucets against back wall so you have to climb in just to turn on water...definitely not suitable for older adults. I actually hate giving this house a bad review, because it has good bones and great location, but just isn't maintained well .....
