Beautiful home with great location of beach. Had a few issues:Front door was very hard to unlock and also lock. There was a trick to it which could have been given this information before our stay. Fire alarm would not turn off and there was no smoke in the house. Called for assistance twice and took too long to respond so we just removed the batteries. Master bathroom sink and toilet leak water onto floor. Master shower was clogged up so we had to use plunger. There is a piece of dried up gum stuck to the rug next to the bed. Downstairs bath was clogged as well. Pans to cook in were definitely NOT non stick as every one we cooked in, all types of food stuck to the pans. Otherwise, It is definitely a big beautiful home and a great location. There were 8 of us and we enjoyed our stay. Master bed was incredibly comfortable.

Quick Getaway

This beach house is the perfect blend of coastal charm and comfort. It’s modern yet cozy, with soft, neutral tones that complement the beach's natural beauty. It’s peaceful and has just the right touches to make beautiful memories with your family. We loved every minute here. Highly Recommended!

Perfect birthday beach house

We celebrated our daughter's sweet 16 birthday at this location with several of her friends and it was perfect! The main living area is very spacious so everyone had room to spread out and be comfortable, play games, etc. Nice balconies for group photos, overall a very well kept beach house. We've used Vrbo many times and this is our second time in a location managed by BeachBox who did a great job communicating and making sure we had everything we needed. Would definitely come back!

Great location

The beach house is in a great location right outside the busy part of Galveston but close to everything. The Beach house is very spacious and very clean. The front door was a little tricky to lock and unlock but once the manager explained to us how to do it it was not a problem again. Beds were very comfortable and a lot of room to spread out in living room and kitchen. We will definitely be back here.

Great house and location!

Great location and house was very nice and new as well. This location was right in between the Pier and north end of the island, about 10 minutes to the pier. Check in was pretty easy with a lock box and home owner provided many things like soap, towels, and beach boys in garage area. Highly recommend!

Beachside village

Overall it was okay. Gas stove was hard to light had to use lighter. Tv in master would not work. The outside shower was very dirty, but everything else was great. I would stay again. FYI Beachside Village does not allow trailers to park on properties.

Beautiful home close to beach

The home was beautiful and short walk to the beach access. Newer development with high end vacation homes. Home is decorated nicely and plenty of space for everyone. Short drive to area attractions and restaurants. Property owner / management is quick to respond to any questions or any issues that may come up. Family had a great relaxing stay for a week. I would highly recommend staying at the home if looking for a place in Galveston.

Very nice house in great location

The home was spacious, well appointed and a very short walk to the beach. My only suggestion is that the owner should leave instructions for using the oven or replace the control knob because, apparently, they had replaced the oven control knob with the wrong one, and we couldn't figure out how to turn it on and set the temperature. It kept shutting off. The owner, however, responded quickly and sent out a maintenance man, who was able to figure it out. He acknowledged the problem with the control knob.

Great Place Except

Very nice place. Good location good neighborhood. But the front door is a big problem. Not only was it very and I mean very hard to open and close. Also because you have to pull so hard on the door to close it the door handle is getting messed up from having to pull so hard to close the door. You cannot lock it from the inside of the house. Meaning when it is time to go to bed you could not lock the door from the inside of the house. You could lock it with a key from the outside of the house but not from the inside. I told the contact and they put somebody on it that told me that I would figure it out. I have storm doors almost exactly like these at my place I know that the locking mechanism that I wrote about above is messed up. Had I known about this issue before deciding to stay there. I would have looked around more and picked somewhere else to stay. Also the back door to the house which is upstairs from the master bedroom has a locking issue as well but was easy to open and close. but you could not lock it from the inside as well.
