Would come back!
We happened to meet the new owners of this property when we arrived and they could not have been nicer! It seems like they will be more proactive in updating and repairing some of the negative things mentioned in more recent reviews. The location and proximity to the beach could not be better! We had all of Pirates Beach to ourselves all three days we went out! The private pool was a hit, though we couldn’t figure out the spa. The dishwasher did not work and the refrigerator did not dispense water or ice. The towels and linens were poor quality and the beds were kind of springy. The floors were also very grubby like they’ve never been mopped and only vacuumed. Despite this, my family had a great time and we would definitely come back to this house!

Disappointing stay, even more disappointing ownership and communication
My wife and I booked this stay as a babymoon for our upcoming 2nd child. We very specifically were looking for a place near the beach that also had a private pool. This place seemed perfect and even had a little extra. To start off, this reservation ports you out to another rental company called Vacasa, who I've never heard of or dealt with before. Communication was fine but upon our arrival, the issues began. The place was filthy and under stocked. We did not have hot water the entire time we were there and even had to wait around for them to send a plumber by on the first full day of our vacation. The plumber could not fix the hot water and we went with cold showers for four days. The pool was littered with dead bugs and the hot tub did not work (they will charge you for it, regardless, by the way, it's automatically included in the fees). They even had a local staff member show up unannounced to run the water pump on the pool while we were there. The outdoor bathroom is filthy. The firepit has a hole in the bottom and there is no TV in the cabinet by the pool. After the trip we requested that we get a refund of at least two nights due to the massive inconveniences, uncleanliness, and unexpected interruptions we experienced. It took ten days for them to even offer a refund for "missing amenities" and when we pushed back, they only offered one single night refund. This place looks nice in the pictures but I would never stay here again.

Never will use VRBO AGAIN!
Your bait and switch on amenities as well as the change in stay fiasco is criminal. I am through with Vacasa/VRBO. I have rented at least 15 times and never had this experience but this is definitely criminal the way to charge after the fact when listing clearly does not show such an amenity. Then to refuse my extra day that I approved because you would not offer the price you gave me for sure deserves reprimand

Perfect house for a beach getaway!
We loved our stay at the house! The pool and spa went to great use and also just a short walk away from the beach. The full kitchen came in handy and was fully stocked for everything we needed. Only trouble was lack of instructions for the pool/turning jets on in the spa. Luckily a few of us have experience with pools and figured it out, but would recommend having a short instructions guide for future stays. Other than that, highly recommend!

Galveston hide away
Hot tub never did really work. Good game selection. Mosquitos were horrible, couldn't go outside without repellant. (may just be the season but we all got ate up) House is very comfortable.
