We rented this property for a long weekend (Wednesday through Sunday) in the Galveston area. The day of check-in, Remax called me to check my status and were very communicative to ensure that I was able to pick up the key. The home is in a quiet neighborhood, a close walk to the beach. The house was very clean, and very comfortable for 9 of us (5 adults, 4 children). There were a few items that could use fixing, and when I spoke with ReMax about it, they were open to the feedback and working on some of the fixes already.
We did not pay the fee for linens, we brought our own from home and it was fine. The kitchen had all the pots and pans that we needed when we wanted to cook meals. We did bring a crockpot to use on the days that we wanted to have a meal ready when we returned to the house. We brought paper products to use (plates, bowls, utensils) but the house also has reusable items already there for use if you want. The bathrooms were clean and every bathroom had a tub, which was great for the kids. The bedrooms were also decently sized, and while they did not all have dressers, every room had a spacious closet with ample shelving. All 3 of the upstairs bedrooms also had a door to the upstairs balcony.
The house is about 6 miles from the ferry that takes you to Galveston. We rode the ferry every day, and while the ride did get longer as we approached the weekend, it was always pleasant to relax on the boat while we were ferried over to Galveston.
The house felt like an escape from the hurry of life. It doesn’t have wifi, which may be a negative to some, but for us, it felt a bit freeing, as we ended up being somewhat out of pocket, as we had to depend on cell phone service. We enjoyed being able to unplug for a few days. We had a wonderful time and would be happy to rent this same home again.
