The house hadn’t been cleaned & the photos online had to be over 10 years old. There was only window a/c units, it was musty & moldy smelling. The toilet was OFF and sitting across the bathroom….with nasty, dirty towels all over.Outside was beautiful & just like the pics - except the deck which wasn’t in great shape.We did not stay here. The management company put us in a nicer, newer house but it didn’t have a pool, firepit, and was not on the water.
The house was perfect for our families with kids. So much to do with it being on the canal, having a pool, and arcade games. Beach access is super close. All the kitchen necessities are provided and plenty of them. We had 7 adults and 6 kids and we had more than enough room for everyone.

That’s what we like to hear! Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. We hope to host you again soon.
Our overall stay was wonderful. The communication with the property owner was spectacular! We had two littles (1.5 & 3) that loved having a pool to swim. My husband, brother & dad enjoyed crabbing and fishing from the boat dock all hours.

We really enjoyed our stay! This place was perfect for all 12 of us. The pool was a huge hit! The kids loved swimming and did it most of the time. We loved being able to fish off the boat dock. Most of all we loved the top deck, sitting outside at night watching the fish go to the green light in the water acrtogether watching the fish go to the green light

Pool was a perfect fit for kids. They loved the game room too. Having 2 living areas was great. Used the washer and dryer also. Very quiet neighborhood.

Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. So glad you had a great time staying with us.
We stayed Monday through Thursday with friends and had a wonderful time. The canal location was perfect. The parents fished in the backyard while the kids swam in the pool. It was peaceful, quiet, and just a one minute drive to the beach.The house was clean and comfortable, with a little normal wear and tear. The listing photos made it look slightly nicer than in person, but everything was still in good shape and we enjoyed our stay. The pool was the highlight for the kids, and a sunshade would make it even better for midday swims.The downstairs area has its own kitchen and beds, which was great for extra space, though it stayed a bit warm. The host was kind, responsive, and easy to work with.Overall, it was a great setup for families. We would definitely come back for another relaxing getaway.

First time ever to rent anything other than a hotel and enjoyed it! Rented a weekend getaway for the family and couldn't have had a better time. Very peaceful place to get some much needed R&R. Definitely looking forward to our next getaway....

Russell was great!! Communication was amazing! There were a few spots that appeared to not be too clean, but nothing we couldn’t pick up ourselves! Pool was beautiful!

Outside pool and water views were excellent. Inside was needing repairs, had several window air conditioners with very dirty filters instead of HVAC, had to go outside to access lower level, and we swept up bugs inside and out constantly. The lower level smelled like sewer, and we determined that the mowers had covered the venting system with heavy grass due to mowing right after a rain. We cleared it away, and the issue improved. Overall we had a memorable stay and enjoyed Galveston history and the warm Gulf waters and views. It was challenging accessing the VRBO site, however Beach Box representatives were very helpful and accommodating.

Christina - It was a pleasure to host you and thanks for the review. You're welcome back any time.
The property was a great place for a large group. There was always something to do for adults and kids, we stayed busy from fishing, to the pool and ending the night with s’mores. There were a few small things that could have been fixed but all and all a really great place to stay! And the property was clean. Just a note for those who like boating and fishing. If you are planning on bringing a boat, access to the property can be tricky so be sure to check when the tides are going out. Also the property’s pier lights are disconnected along with the boat lift. We made it all work but It was a definitely learn as you go while navigating coming in from the bay. We able to catch a variety of fish from the pier and this made the kids happy!

These pictures are deceptive, truly out dated. The home needed a lot of TLC and cleaning. We contacted the owner because the stove top was cracked and wanted to know if it was safe to use, also if they had any fans to help circulate the air They claimed there has been no report of it being broken and they would have maintenance out to check it along with two box fans. CRICKETS! Never heard of them or maintenance again
Great time with family but some disappointments with space
There were roaches in pantry and cabinets (we bought spray to kill), the down stairs area smelled like mold and in fact we saw several “damp rid” units in there. The shower downstairs, had mold/mildew and had not been cleaned very well. The outdoor shower didn’t work at all. Appeared handle was missing.
