The house needs some work and a proper cleaning. It’s spacious but dated and not the cleanest.

This house is undeniably large! It can sleep a ton of people if that is what you need. We did not have a large group so the room was not necessary to us but the private pool and property were the draw for us to stay here. The private pool and backyard are hands down the only positive thing about this property. There are however a ton of cons. The floors were dirty when we arrived, glass around pool area, coffee grounds on counters with empty coffee container, dead bugs everywhere! Property owner states they pest control and bugs are part of every property but every day there were more and more. They likely come through the gaping hole at bottom of front door which should be addressed. One of the rooms had no power to the outlets, was asked to check breakers which we did and nothing. I didnt come on vacation to play electrician and we were a small group so we just changed rooms. The AC went out on our last day despite keeping it at the temperature required. The property owner was quick to respond and sent someone right away even when it was later in the day. They could not fix it but had window units brought in to the rooms to make it through the night. Even with the positives of private pool and property I would not stay here again if I ever come back to Galveston.

If I could give zero or negative 5 stars I would. This house is not as pictured. The house is extremely dirty and run down. Even after having the house cleaners come back and clean again it was disgusting. There is an inch gap under the front door for bugs and rodents to come in, which is a huge health hazard. The home owners think that a house with lots of bugs, trash and crumbs everywhere is sanitary. We spent the first night there cleaning just so we could take a shower and sleep. The dishes were dirty, there was bugs in the “clean” towels. There was fish hooks and broken glass on the patio. The pool had algae and probably hasn’t been cleaned in a while, I use to have a pool at one of our past houses and know what a clean pool looks like. They also had a broken tv remote in the kids bunk room which could cut someone’s hand, We ended up leaving before our check out due to seeing a rat come through the front door and the host wouldn’t help us find a new property to stay at or refund us our money. We found our own new place to stay at that was actually clean and bug free.
