Had a great time in July staying at this VRBO with family. Pool was clean. Very nice to get out of the heat. Pictures don’t show it but there are chairs around the pool to relax. Plenty of room for 7 adults. Lots of stairs. Would have been nice if there was a small table and chairs to eat outside on the back deck but we made due. Fire pit was fun to sit around a make s'mores. Close to stores and the Seawall. Hosts responded extremely fast which was very nice. Would definitely stay again.

It is a lovely place to stay comfortable all the amenities We’re perfect,and this time we saw the pool but did not get a chance to get in it because of the weather and the time we had we were actually there for a convention and most of the day we were at the convention we hope to stay there again and enjoy ourselves and you’re beautiful home.

Fabulous

This property is exactly as described. Very clean , very spacious, enough room for your family. We love the beach in the winter as much as we do in the summer. The backyard was great for roasting marshmallows and making s’mores in the fire pit. The kitchen has everything you need to make a meal vs eating out if that’s what you choose. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and will definitely be coming back.

Beautiful home, very clean and open, everything worked great, loved the amenities, pool was very nice. Only issue was lack of willingness to work with check in/out times even after being informed of child requirements. Total stay was 19 hrs.

Nice, clean, and close to the sea wall

Prior to this place, we were eyeing something within walking distance of the beach so we didn't have to drive. But we chose this property for its cleanliness. It's indeed very clean inside out. However, the location meant a drive everywhere, but it's only a short drive to many popular places in Galveston.

I miss it already!

Its a beautiful house. You can see that there has been recent upgrades. Especially, the bathrooms and kitchen. ( the kitchen was my favorite spot!) Just gorgeous! Comfy beds, washer dryer in spacious utility room. The pool was so refreshing and was a better alternative to the beach for us. Especially, having my 3 year old granddaughter It was very well maintained. Very nice experience for my family and I

Liked: Check-in
Upon arrival access to the home was easy and the premises seemed as described. Then we noticed what appeared to be black mold around the air vent in upstairs bathroom. We notified the owner and was asked to send photo, which we did. Owner failed to respond back. The same mold was found in both bathrooms. The backdoor knob was very loose. We discovered we were provided one extra kitchen trash bag for a one week stay with 8 people (hardly adequate), one disher washer pod, one roll of paper towels and one small bottle of dish soap. We had to buy more paper towels and dish soap. No pot holders were provided nor was there any extra bed linens or blankets. Two bar-b-ques were on site. One had holes bigger than your fist on the bottom. Both were char-coal which we had to supply. There was a firepit but no wood. All week we battled ants on the kitchen counter. Overall, we had a pleasant stay but owners hospitality and maintenance could certainly be improved.
