Wonderful

Very clean, host text as soon as the property was ready for check in; which was before 4pm! Beach was just steps away. And the ocean view was fantastic! The family loved it!
We had a great stay! The house is beautiful, but so many stairs!!! Wish the elevator worked.

great house!
Loved the location! Very clean and lots of room for our big family. Our only issue is that the kitchen was small and needs organizing - it was chaos trying to cook for a big group in a small, unorganized space. Other than that, we loved it!

Wonderful Views & Beach Access
Such a beautiful beach house with amazing views and easy beach access!
Lots of space and comfort. Plenty of kitchen supplies. Beach towels provided. Wonderful views and so close to beach is great! Nice that shampoo/ conditioner/ soap is provided. Only a starter supply if paper towels, garbage bags, toilet paper is provided so plan accordingly if your staying more than a few nights with a large crowd. We will definitely stay again.
Location and ocean view is FANTASTIC, kitchen is well-stocked, home is clean and there’s plenty of room for everyone. But the description of the layout - despite my efforts to further clarify with Vacasa (also confusing because I expected VRBO but Vacasa wanted me to install and use their app for communication) - was not clear on VRBO. Of course it’s Galveston so we expected to climb some stairs, but my family was vacationing with my two 85-year-old parents (both of whom have mobility issues) so I wanted the “main living space” - including kitchen and family seating - on the lowest level. It turned out only the bedrooms were on that lower level. My poor parents were so exhausted after the long process of getting them all the way up the staircases to the top level that they never came down until we left! Don’t get me wrong, the view from the top level is amazing - and they thoroughly enjoyed it - but we wanted to get them out on the beach and go out and eat seafood and such (not an option with all the stairs). I asked Vacasa to please have VRBO update the listing, because I would have also been concerned about all the extra stairs back when my kids were little. Otherwise it was a FANTASTIC STAY!

Beach House
Great for a large family. Right on the wonderful beach. Lots of fun!
This house was great for our large extended family--fourteen people (the youngest is nine and the oldest are in their seventies) plus a little dog. There was plenty of room and everyone was comfortable. The location was great and beach access was very convenient. Highlights: plenty of pillows and blankets, lots of beach towels, easy parking, smooth check-in/check-out, great views, tons of seating for a large group.
The house was great! The bedrooms were all nicely furnished and plenty of space for us to gather as a group. Location on the beach was wonderful! Communication was excellent.
Property was amazing with so much room, clean and comfortable. Steps away from the waves and beach was quiet and private. Location was still close to shops and attractions. We had a great family get together!
We loved our stay in this vacation rental. Everything was clean, beautiful interior furnishings and gorgeous view from the home. We will definitely rent this house again!

Dream vacation
This is a beautiful property! Balconies are great - watched dolphins play one day! Great location. Close to shopping & restaurants. Steps from your private beach! It's quiet & so relaxing...we definitely plan to return!
Loved the location in relation to getting into Galveston. The house was spacious and well equipped to handle a larger group. Would recommend for future use.
