Great stay. We enjoyed the beautiful house with a huge master suite that had views from front and back from the upper story. We enjoyed our evenings on the patio deck and loved the swings. We fished from the dock and access our boat. Communication with the owner was great and very prompt. We look forward to staying again in the future.

Overall pretty good experience. The house was way more worn down on the outside than the photos look. Lots of rust and rotten boards on the deck and loose handrails and decking. The fridge and freezer were not working properly. We had Ice cream and popsicles that would not freeze and the fridge kept reading 55 degrees. The owner did come out but said there was nothing wrong with it but our food was barely cold and freezer would not freeze. The beds in the bunk room were pretty uncomfortable. The large bunk had the old spring mattress on it and the springs were pushing up so hard you could not sleep on it. Lots of extra activities offered. Great location on the bay and quiet great neighborhood.

Inside was definitely clean & comfortable, but us being older we could not use the front entry stairway because no railing partway up and steepness of stairs. Was a little disappointed with no night light in the canal as shown in pictures but had a fantastic time anyway. The owner was very nice and responded to our questions quickly ! Thank you for a beautiful vacation house! I can not express how clean the interior was! That meant allot to all of us!

My husvand and i celebrated out wedding anniversary that weekend. The house was beautiful. We loved it

House is just as listed. Kitchen well stocked, plenty of room. Super clean. The best part for us was the porch with ample seating and gorgeous view of water. Owners were fabulous to work with.

Kitchen is lightly equipped. Keeping utensils and dishware cleaned and available for 6 people over the day was a stretch. Hosting 10 people there at a time would have been daunting. Pots and pans need updating. Get rid of damaged teflon pans, increase quantity of both serving and eating utensils and upgrade to full set of knives. Loved the set up and location. Beds were comfortable except for the bunk bed mattresses.

The place was great. The main level deck was perfect. The swings on that deck was great. Listing stated 3 bathrooms, its really 2 inside with a shower outside. Cookware needs to be updated, but everything else was good. 37 minutes to The Strand - downtown Galveston. Which was both a pro and a con. The house was nice and peaceful.

This property had so many amenities for me and my friends. The host provided so many fun things, so even on cold days there’s plenty of stuff to do on the property. This house was perfect for us, extremely clean and the host was great to work with! We will definitely be back!

We had a great time staying at zimply paradise. The home was clean spacious and well stocked for everything we needed. The main bedroom beds were super comfortable and the sheets felt like clouds. The kids beds in the bunk room were a bit worn out and my kids said they weren’t very comfortable, but they still slept well. The house had tons of fun things for the kids to do especially since it rained almost the whole time we were there. I look forward to coming back when we can utilize the beautiful decks and the bay.

Everything was amazing, Zim the host was excellent at communicating we had a wonderful time!! Will definitely plan future trips here!

I reached out to the owner with the safety concerns that my family and I had. In return I was told that the house was very safe, and nothing was done in reference to the opportunities. 1) The hand railing leading upstairs from the 1st level to the second level was not anchored to the ceiling nor to the floor. It was held together at the joint with electrical tape. It was extremely loose and dangerous. 2) There was something white baked into the bottom of the oven. We were not sure if it was a toxic substance like a cleaning spray. The owner explained the next day that it was foil that was cooked into the bottom of the oven. We were confused as to the spill did not like foil. It was white. 3) The top screws on the porch swing appeared to be coming out of the beam above. The swing could potentially fall causing severe injury to someone. We were told that the screws could not be screwed further into the wood because the wood was very hard. 4) The main floor bathtub leaked water where the shower door and tub meet. It appears that the caulking needed to be replaced. We were told to move the shower head. 5) There was a double rocker/bench on the deck that should have been removed some time back. It was rotten along the back, seat, and feet. It had recently been painted instead of being removed. It was extremely dangerous if someone accidently sat on it without noticing the damage. We were told that it was known that the item needed to be removed but there had not been any time to do so. 6) The sleeper sofa in the living room could not be used as a bed. The frame was extremely bent. It was an ordeal trying to return it into the sofa position because of the frame being bent. No reason for the outage was offered by owner. When I expressed our concerns to the owner it appeared that these were all new things that were being brought to light. She stated that "no one had ever had an issue with the house". "The property is safe." I can understand that with rental property not everyone takes care of your property. I could overlook one or even two of these things for that reason. A list this long is not acceptable. The railing should have been addressed immediately upon me bring it to the attention of the owner. That is extremely unsafe. As it stands, we did not see the owner, nor did we receive at minimum an apology for ALL the opportunities.

The perfect paradise

One of the nicest property's we have rented, loved the interior beautifully decorated, the outside patios were all so nice the breeze was amazing the kayaks were awesome,the bike was fun and bringing my boat to the dock outside was fantastic, highly recommend Zimply Paradise that's what it was to us. Thank you for a wonderful experience in your home away from home.

Had a great stay over Labor Day weekend. Description is spot on and the home is better in person than pictures We have used VRBO in USA and abroad. This is one of the cleanest places we have ever stayed. Thanks so much for sharing your home!

We had one of the best times of Our Lives. Rented a fishing charter. The house was awesome.

Everything are good , kids love fishing rights on backyard .Will comebacks next time

Love it, will love to go back again 😊

We really enjoyed our stay at Zimply Paradise. The house was really spacious, comfortable beds, nice patio and deck. Fun kayaks and beach chairs. I didn’t realize just how far away it was from town but in the end that’s what we loved about it. I just had to make another drive into town for a groceries. We loved the quiet area and the sunset views across the street were amazing. We rented a golf cart to go to the beach. It really was a wonderful vacation!

Unfortunately, I couldnt go because my wife became ill before the trip, but my sons and their families did attend. According to them , the accommodations were excellent. The outside deck was large and could accommodate a good number of people without feeling overcrowed.

The place was very clean and beds comfortable. We enjoyed our time here.

It was a nice clean house with plenty of room for big family.

All ages had a great time.

House was very spacious and provided plenty of room to stretch and relax. Master suite was perfect since it sits on top floor and is separate from everyone one else if we wanted privacy. Kitchen offered all the necessary items for cooking as well as a gas and charcoal grill for cooking out. Distance from sea wall was about 25 minutes but I didn’t mind the drive. Only things that were disappointing was the flat on the pedal cart and lots of mosquitos but tires go flat and time of year on the water brings bugs so this would not cause me to give a less than stellar rating for this home. Owner was very responsive as well. I would definitely book again.

We had a great time staying at this property. The owner, and the house itself were great and we would definitely come back!

This property was a great getaway for our family. We were able to fish all day without having to haul tons of equipment around and beach access was a two-minute drive. The house was clean and beautiful and everything that we expected and more. We will be back.

The house was clean and well appointed with all that was needed. Our family had a great stay.

We enjoyed staying in the property. It was the best ecperience of staying away from home. We enjoyed kayaking, small party in the patio, fishing and crabbing. We caught a lot of fish and big crabs. We are planning to rent it next month, but fully booked. Highly recommended.
