The house was very nice and clean it was 12 of us and it was enough space for everyone to have their own bed. The only thing I didn’t like was when we sat in the backyard it was daylight outside at 10am and the neighbor was bothering us about our talking & laughing it was on a Saturday so not sure what her issue was. Other than that it was a nice 1 night stay

Sherry - Thank you for the thoughtful review! We're glad to hear you enjoyed the location and cleanliness of the home. We appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back for another great stay.
The house was OK. Beds were clean and comfy, there were clean towels. But NO handwash soap, NO bar soap for bathing as they had described. Cheap no name dishwashing liquid that wouldn’t foam or clean the dishes. One small hotel size shampoo and body wash in each bathroom for single person use (total of 4) for a house that’s supposed to sleep 20 people. When we asked about toiletries, we were told to check this cabinet or that drawer, but there was nothing. And the floors had not been vacuumed or mopped. They were dirty. Whoever is doing their cleaning does only the bare minimum to make the house look presentable superficially.
Nice home , close to the sea wall and shopping . Beautiful pool , Nice kitchen . Would i stay here again ? Yes definitely. Great communication with host !

Sharon - Thank you for your feedback! Looking forward to host you again soon!
We had fourteen young adults and four older adults that stayed at the house. It was a great fit! The house was clean and the rooms were just as they were advertised. There were plenty of pots and pans to cook for a large group! We enjoyed the pool and the fire pit. The location is perfect! We walked to the beach and had just a short drive to all that Galveston had to offer! It was a great place for an extended weekend!

Nicole - Thank you for sharing your experience! We're so happy to hear that the house was a great fit for both the young adults and older adults in your group. It’s wonderful that you enjoyed the pool, fire pit, and the proximity to the beach and Galveston attractions. We’re glad the kitchen had everything you needed to cook for a large group. We’d love to host you again for another extended weekend getaway!
There was a large group of us, and the house was PERFECT. We had the best time. The house was very clean, easy to access, in a great location, and even better amenities. Definitely would recommend and look forward to booking with them next year!

This house was perfect for my family of 13 (parents,grandparents and kids). The kids loved swimming in the pool and the cool game room. There was plenty of beds and the house was clean. Communication with the property manager was excellent. Would definitely stay again.
Pictures look better than actual house. Need a new floor. Bedroom with bathroom had leak in ceiling from the rain. Water was on the floor. For the price I paid we were hoping to have smaller tv’s in each bedroom. Seat on toilet in game room bathroom was loose. Need a second rack in oven. We had a good time but would not rent again without some changes.

House review
House has plenty of room and beds. 4 of our party was unable to attend so we had plenty of room. If you want to use pool, go in summertime, pool is not heated. Living room needs a recliner. My husband sleeps in a recliner at home because of his health, so it would have been nice to have one. Overall house was ok!
House could have been cleaner and pool was dirty. Messaged owner about the pool and he sent someone over quickly but they just threw some chemicals in the pool and left all the dirt in the bottom.
