Really enjoyed our time at the house. It was clean and comfortable. We could have used a little more paper goods and soap but not too big of a deal.

We had an amazing stay at this location. Just minutes from ocean and canals it was such a quiet location. Great fishing from the dock for my son and husband. The house was wonderful. We loved the hot tub and corn hole. We brought our fur babies and they enjoyed sunning on the deck and bird watching. We have stayed at many VRBO's in Galveston and this was our favorite. We brought

The house has everything you need for a relaxing weekend away! We went during the wintertime so the hot tub was a nice treat. An easy drive into Galveston. It was nice being able to bring our dogs and the house was well appointed for meals and games with friends. We also enjoyed walking to the restaurant to watch football. Thank you for a wonderful weekend getaway from Houston!

The property was beautiful and so special. We hadn't seen our son for almost a year so meeting here and having a hot tub to boot was really special. We did a lot of cooking and the kitchen was stocked well. One of the most beautiful places we have stayed. Thank you so much for this special time.
Beautiful home. Very Clean. Lots of patio and porch space. So many things to do in the area. This property company kept in touch with us and did an AMAZING job of resolving any issue we had which was very miminal. I cant say enough great things about their customer service!!! I wish we had more than a week to stay. The grandchuldren absolutely loved the location and always had something to do. We have stayed at mulitiple condos across many states but love Texas. Great job of sharing such a beautiful home. Thanks for the great memories

It made our day to read your kind words, Drema, and we thank you for making Ryson your trusted rental partner.
The neighborhood is not very nice. This property will require you to drive to beach (just a few minutes) but you need to cross a busy main road which would be dangerous to walk. Or you could always rent a golf cart while there, that is pretty popular.
The property is really cute inside, lovely decor, all as described.
Sadly, you can't check in til 4 pm, and you have to leave by 10 am. We couldn't even get in at 4 pm because the code did not unlock the door. Someone had to come and let us in, so we ended up waiting an extra hour. I don't recommend the management company although the house is cute inside.

Hi Leigh, we are sorry to hear the neighborhood did not meet your expectations. When frequenting Galveston, you will see an array of different homes within each neighborhood; contributing to the uniqueness of our island. However, the Sea Isle neighborhood is considered a great location for homeowners and guests alike. Our listing does not state that we are "in walking distance" of the beach; it states that we are "across from the beach". As for the check-in time, we do have a 4 pm check-in but this is necessary so that our management team can ensure that the home is clean and in pristine condition for the next guest. We wish you had contacted us during your stay so that we could make it right but do not have any record of you reaching out to voice your concerns. Happy travels!
Daughter’s Birthday Beach Trip - Labor Day Weekend
The beach house is super nice and well kept! We loved the fenced in property, hot tub and outdoor shower that has hot & cold water. Awesome open kitchen / floor plan. Spacious bed rooms and comfortable beds.
Management is quick to reply when we had an issue with the bathtub not draining correctly. A maintenance guy was sent out and wasn’t able to fix the drain issue since we were staying there but was fast to assist and see what the issue was.
There were sugar ants or little black bugs all on the counter in kitchen but we kept it clean so they weren’t a problem, also used ziplock bags to prevent them from getting in food.
The beach gear that was at the property to use wasn’t in the best condition - chairs were mildew and rusted, but we had our own.
Big plus this property allows dogs and we were able to bring ours along!
Having access to the private fishing pier was great as well.
Sea Isle is our favorite area on the island to stay and this beach house was added to the list of our favorite homes to rent!

We're pleased to hear that you and your family enjoyed your stay, and that the property met your expectations in terms of the amenities and accommodations. We appreciate you taking the time to provide feedback on the maintenance issue, as well as the condition of the beach gear. Your comments are valuable in helping us improve the guest experience. We look forward to welcoming you back to the beach house in the future.
No communication with the property host! Never contacted me one time!! Never got email with check in process and no returned calls and messages through app when I contacted!!! Had to go through customer support for the code for door and that was a hassle!! No Wi-Fi help as there was no information and Ryson Rental never sent information promised and then didn’t return call after I’d been on phone with them twice to get it all!!! Very poor service! Will not rent again. Owner needs to know they did not deliver proper service at all and I will tell everyone to not stay.

Excellent modern and clean beach house in a local quiet neighborhood. Close to the beach but far enough away from tourists. It was perfect for a getaway with our little dog!
We love living in Galveston and raising our family here on the Island. We want all our visitors to the Island to enjoy the same fun and that’s why we started Southern Sands Property Management Group. We've been part of the community for over a decade, and love to give our guests memorable experiences!
