I have written or reviewed multiple VRBO experiences over the years. I never expect perfection, however, to be perfectly frank, this was a disappointing experience. Prior to traveling, quite a bit of research on my part is done looking for what is specifically wanted during any stay. In this case, my intent was to stay with my daughters for a brief trip to Galveston. I wanted a good facility, good amenities, and a washer/dryer in the unit intending to pack light. Diamond Beach Resort was a very nice facility. Things broke down, in my opinion, with the property management company (RYSON). Following are the reasons for my disappointment. Our flight arrived a few hours prior to check in time. We reached out to check if a possible early check in could be arranged. We were originally told, "absolutely not", and that was understandable. We assumed the unit was not ready. We were then told for 50.00 an hour we could check in. We chose not to do this. Upon arrival (4pm) an unidentified man came to the door and shared he had a work order to repair the washing machine. He did not wear a uniform and we were not notified that there would be anyone coming. He shared that he had keys to the unit and needed to assess the appliance. I did allow him in. He spend a very short amount of time in the unit and stated there were no problems. ****I have more to say, however, this space will not allow...****
