beautiful house, poor communication

family trip, house was amazing. not entirely clean but still very good. communication with host was poor. I left several messages while on property but never heard back, then expressed concerns at check out and was told I would hear back from someone and never did. So, I sent an email and still didn't hear back after a month. You will love the house, it's fabulous! but don't expect any response from the managers if you have an issue.

Family Fun

Our stay at this fabulous home was truly memory- making!! We enjoyed our large group of family; cooking and visiting in the beautiful kitchen and living area. The best part of this stay was the view of the beach from the wrap-around porch! The property manager, KAYLA was amazing and attentive to all our needs and responded quickly. We will definitely return!

Perfection for first timers but...

We have stayed in this amazing house a few times. It's a perfect Galveston Beach House. The kitchen is well-appointed, comfortable living area, nice beds, luxurious towels, and great all the way around. We were a bit disappointed and surprised at check-in to find out that a bedroom, bathroom, and living area were now unavailable. Since we stayed here before and the price was the same we assumed all bedrooms and bathrooms were available like before. Suggest reading the house description closely to make sure you are getting what you expect. Otherwise...enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!

Wonderful Family Stay

Beautiful property and a very well laid out beach home. Common area was perfect for socializing in doors and out while the rest of the home offered plenty of privacy for our group of 11 family members. Very convenient short walk to the beach! Quiet neighborhood!

Dream house getaway

The house was absolutely stunning! Tons of room for 4 couples. The views of the beach were great. We spent every night on the porch watching the waves. My business partners and I spend a weekend in Galveston every August for the Sandcastle event at East Beach. I think we found the perfect rental. It's very convenient to the event. Would absolutely book this house again.

Second time and more to come

We love this property. This is our second time to stay here. We have a large range of ages, from littles to older adults. This property fits all our needs. First, it is gorgeous - really feels like we are pampering ourselves. Plenty of space for everyone to be together and have separate space when needed. Elevator for someone who needs this assistance in our group. We love being right on the beach. So close to amenities in Galveston. We will be back!

Excellent stay

Very clean and very well equipped. Confusion on what bedrooms were on what floor. Worked out ok but with an infant (and or children ) it would be better for that to have been made clear. Also, bring mosquito repellent!

Fabulous home full of charm, amenities and luxury accommodations.

We very much enjoyed our stay. Easy access to the beach and amazing views from every angle. All of the bedding and mattress's were definitely 5 star hotel grade. everyone slept very well. We will book the house again. We highly recommend this property and the owners were more than accomadating. We give the property a 5 star rating. Book with confidence.

Beach Getaway

The house was beautiful and the location was great. A few things that need to be fixed for the next guest: steamer in kitchen leaks/broken, downstairs fireplace does not work (it stormed a few days in a row & we wanted to enjoy it), the upstairs bathroom has a shower that has a major leak through the lower hallway light fixture, a panel was broken on the bunk bed. None of these items ruined our trip; the stay was exceptional but we couldn’t use the shower & other items & for what we were paying I thought they should have been addressed before we arrived. Other than that we highly recommend the home.

Wonderful House to Vacation and Relax

This home is amazing! Fully equipped, and has a wonderful kitchen for gathering. I was there with a few of my executive staff and families, and enjoyed the area immensely. Rooms were large and beds were comfy. TV's everywhere, and I like there is not a tv in the Family area so you enjoy each other and the view! The beach was great, close and not crowded at all. Close to everything, and the mgmt company was very helpful. The house stayed cool, and everyone enjoyed the trip. It was nice to be able to put cars in garage and in driveway out of the way. The best are the wonderful comfy chairs on the porch. We spent hours there, just talking and laughing. Great place!

Amazing beach front house

Beautifully decorated, roomy house with top of the line appliances. That being said, it was a little over the top for a beach rental. I would loved to have an outdoor grill instead of the elaborate gas stove with a grill top. (We set off smoke alarm grilling steaks with the fan at full force.) also, as beautiful as the elegant chandeliers we’re, ceiling fans would have been welcome. It would have been helpful to have a pack n play and a high chair provided. Lastly, I would encourage owners to install programmable locks on a couple doors. Having to keep up with a real estate lock box with key proved problematic. Still, we all loved the house and location and would rent it again.

Beach House Of No Return

Positives: Large beach front home in secure private beach neighborhood with other estate type homes. Location good with panoramic ocean views. Beach Town is great. Negatives: Daily maintenance issues too numerous to elaborate and very annoying. Possible mold issue. House needs work. We will not return to that house again.

Amazing Beach Getaway

The home was all it looks like online and more... a relaxing beach getaway. The home itself looks like a castle and is beautifully lit at night. We were traveling with two 80+ seniors and, though there are a lot of stairs, there is also an elevator which worked wonderfully for getting them around in the home. The home was spotless and clean... has a state-of-the-art kitchen with all plates, cups, cookware, coffee pot and more. We never cooked meals but it would be well-equipped to do so. Bedrooms each have ensuite bathroom and are spaciously appointed so our party of six (which occupied four bedrooms) were very spread out and comfortable. Each shower had shampoo and conditioner which was a nice touch. Plenty of fluffy bath towels and also lots of extra bed linens or throws to use on beds or couches if you're chilly. You can also adjust the air/heat on each floor as desired. The beach boardwalk is steps from the house and the beach is beautiful. Easy to walk or simply enjoy the waves from one of the many balconies in the home. The area does allow for the public to access the beach but it was never an issue or crowded while we were there. Mainly people out either taking photos or walking the beach. Security is top-notch, even throughout the night so you do not have to worry about a thing. There is also a community pool though we did not take advantage of this but it looked wonderful. The home is within a five to ten minute drive to countless restaurants on Seawall and the surrounding neighborhood. We enjoyed the free ferry to the Bolivar Peninsula (so many dolphins!) as well as Moody Gardens during our stay. We were completely satisfied with the rental experience both from the administration side (easy booking, communication, etc) down to the actual rental of the home. It was a five-star experience and highly recommended!

Beachtown

The home is beautiful and directly by the boardwalk cross over to the ocean. We wanted to grill hamburgers, but there was no outdoor grill; this may be a fire requirement of the subdivision Beachtown. Please verify if that’s important to you. The East end of Galveston is clean, neat & close to all of the Galveston activities. We’ve rented houses on the West End for years, but like the convenience of the East End.

Castle for the family

We had an awesome time at the castle in Galveston. There were some minor issues that came up. There was a wall in the master nook that was under maintenance. The property manager refunded us 10% without us even asking which was nice. The lighting system was a little frustrating in the main area, but they did come attempt to fix it. He was able to get the lights on, but we could not turn them off. A door would not stay shut and the elevator was finicky. Other than that, the house was perfect for us. It's right on the beach in a great area. The community pool ($200 for the week) was very warm and nice too. We absolutely loved our time and would highly recommend this house to anyone.

Neitherfireplace worked. There were no shades in the master bedroom. The light switches on the main floor are very difficult to operate. This is a beautiful house and a great location but the property needs to be maintained

It was great!

This house is wonderful! The size is perfect for a large family or lots of friends and the location is amazing! We loved everything about it! The only thing we wished is that their would have been a tv in the living area. We were there in October and there was lots of college football watching and the tv on the main floor is in a smaller tv room which made it difficult for everyone to be in there together to watch. Other than that we loved it!
