The house is great for gathering with friends and family! Allows for beaching, privacy when needed, and family dinners!

Loved being able to walk out the door and immediately be on the beach. It was super convenient to be able to run back to the house and make some sandwiches for the kiddos for lunch while they were still playing in the water.

The house is amazing. Beds for all nine of our grandchildren and 3 children and spouses. Game room was a big hit with the kids because the weather was not the best. One bedrooms ceiling leaked cuz it rained so hard but no harm done. Our granddaughter said it was the best vacation she’s ever had!! She is 8!

Absolutely gorgeous place and amazing location! Will be back!

This house was absolutely filthy. Trust the reviews and not the photos. That’s how we got fooled and especially scammed. The photos are heavily photoshopped. The house smells awful, is falling apart due to lack of maintenance, there is mold, dirty carpet in rooms and stains all over the place. There was half an inch of dust everywhere. The rooms are worse than motel 6 in a deserted highway. The management company is awful and won’t respond to your messages. On the second night of our stay one room started leaking brown water from the ceiling due to outside rain. Mind you this was not a storm or anything crazy outside. Just normal rain. However the ceiling was leaving in multiple places and all brown water. I contacted them in the morning and 3 more times during the day and they didn’t send anyone to check. They only sent a blow up mattress at 11 pm after I kept messaging them all day long letting them know one family has no place to sleep. One family had to sleep in the living room for the remainder of the stay. We finally had enough after and left a day early because we couldn’t take it anymore. We have tried multiple times to contact the owner and management ever since but they keep ignoring us. It was a nightmare and completely ruined our spring break. The only positive about this house is the location but it’s ridiculously overpriced and falsely advertised. It’s also a 5 bedroom 3/5 bath but is advertised as 6 bedroom 6 bath which is a bold face lie. For this amount you can stay in the best hotels or best beachfront properties in Galveston. This place is an absolute scam so beware.

While this home’s view is beautiful the house itself is lacking. The floors have had obvious water damage that was just covered with sheet vinyl, several soft spots that felt like you could fall through the floor. The safety latch on the third floor elevator had been removed from the door and screwed to the wall in the elevator shaft. We had small children in our party and were afraid they would open the door and fall down the shaft so we piled our coolers in front of the door to bar their access. The patio door doesn’t have a latch and the bar that was provided to allow the door to be locked just collapsed into itself, we had to use a rod in the track. The electrical outlets outside are a nightmare! The main service box outside needs to be replaced desperately, it is half rusted away and has a large hole in it. The deck is all splintered, don’t walk on it with bare feet. The hot water runs out quickly, we were a group of 16 so showers had to be staggered. The outside shower doesn’t have an enclosure and only has hot water available. The soffit underneath the deck is falling down, and there is a bird nesting in the chimney! The plume pod on the top floor doesn’t work so there isn’t internet to 1/2 the house, 3 guys in our group are very tech savvy so tried for several hours and failed to get it functioning. On the positive side, the beds are comfortable, the washer and dryer work well, the dishwasher cleans well. As one of our party pointed out the issues didn’t “inconvenience “ us so after 2 days of travel we made the best of it!

Good experience

My family & a few friends had a great time at Buccaneer Manor. The location directly on Pirates' Beach is phenomenal. It was relaxing to watch the waves and fun to see beach goers during the day. Our weather was perfect with sun and 71-73 degrees during our stay in January. The Manor provided plenty of room for our group of 8 to spread out and gather. Many fun games were played in the game room and the great room upstairs. The kitchen had lots of dishes, bowls, silverware, pots, pans and strainers. During our trip in January we did not see any unwanted insects. (In fact the roach motels that I brought along based on previous reviews went empty, I'm pleased to say.) The charcoal grill and outdoor shower worked well. Definitely do recommend wearing shoes on the deck as there are some uneven places and exposed nails. Yes - there are places inside that could use renovating - but I am unsure how high the price would rise with that! (One shared bathroom had a recently updated walk-in shower and several of the vanities looked recently updated.) I would definitely stay at Buccaneer Manor again!

Only 1 shower actually got hot water which was the master so everyone was using our shower to bath since we had all the hot water! The floors feel like there is major water damage & it feels like you will fall through if stepped on too long. The 80s called & would like all their fixtures & decor back! Pics do not match how actual house is set up. The back deck had a spot broken on the railing as well as the gate was no longer attached & both of these were covered with sideways laying chairs. NOT safe if we would of had animals or toddlers. Messaged the host & the response was they could get a maintenance guy out there to fix things. NOT how we want to spend our days with construction happening. I'm wondering if the new owners have even seen the property!? Spent way too much on this house as we wanted our whole family together before leaving for our cruise & besides being right on the beach this was a huge disappointment for everyone. Would not stay here again.

We enjoyed our stay. Had everything that we needed right on the beach. Thank you

We rented this house for Labor Day weekend with a group of friends and our kids. Our stay got off to an ominous start when we walked into the living room and saw the ocean view obscured by a giant blue tarp the property managers had nailed over half of the windows and deck. When I asked why the tarp was there, they said it’s because rain was in the forecast and the house leaks. Then we noticed that they had politely left us buckets in the bedrooms as well, which had water damage all over the ceilings. Not promising! The second day of our trip, the rain began. Sure enough, it soon began raining from the ceilings in two of the bedrooms. Rain was dripping into our luggage, the kids’ pack and plays, etc. The ceiling in one bedroom was bowing so badly from water it looked like it would cave in at any time. All we could do is move our stuff out of the rooms and use the buckets to catch as much water as we could. When I contacted the management company to tell them what was happening, they sent a maintenance guy over…to bring us more buckets! Unbelievable. They never offered any help or even an apology, and then proceeded to completely blow me off when I asked them to remedy the situation. Because their bedroom was leaking, one family moved into the downstairs game room. Unfortunately, we soon learned that room was covered in roaches. So they had to go back and sleep in the leaking room. The family in the other leaking bedroom had to move to the bunk room and share bunk beds with their kids. It truly was the stay from hell and I can’t believe the owners rent this home in good conscience. The water stains all over the ceilings and the soft spots in the floors make clear that the leaks have been going on a long time. It’s simply unacceptable to rent this home out in its current condition. I have provided videos and photos to VRBO and hope they’ll do the right thing. Other highlights: -elevator is broken -there is no exterior hose to wash off sandy items -the outdoor shower is in a mosquito nest and unusable as a result While the location is undeniably fantastic, I’m sure there are other properties on the beach that don’t rain from the ceiling. My advice is to rent one of those!

This house is in the perfect location right on the beach. There was plenty of room for our large family gathering. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. A huge problem for our family was that there was no beach towels we had to go out and buy 12 towels as we traveled from California and Oregon and did not bring towels so this was a major issue. Also do not plan to take a hot shower the water temperature only gets luke warm if you are lucky several people had to take cold showers. Over all the house is beautiful and we really enjoyed our stay.

Very nice

The best thing about this rental is the location. We all loved being able to step outside the door and step onto sand. Being able to sit on the deck and watch the kids play on the sand below was so much fun. Having the game room was great also. Everything we needed in the kitchen was there. The only concerns would be some maintenance issues with bathroom doors, and a leak on the ceiling in one bedroom. Overall, our group really enjoyed our time at this house.

The deck spaces are amazing! The layout of the house is ideal for large groups. The kitchen and main living room are on a floor by themselves allowing for quiet peaceful sleeping on the other floors while preparing breakfast or just coffee to enjoy on the expansive deck. Beautiful views and near a fish market which is always a MUST HAVE for us when we're near the ocean. Looking forward to a return trip.

House is older - well designed and generally clean. It rained while we were staying and woke up to the roof leaking in multiple rooms.

Our family decided to have a reunion at a beautiful location and this was it!! Plenty of room for everyone and the location couldn’t of been any better! The home was clean and comfy and we all enjoyed calling it home for the week. Beautiful sunsets with the sounds of the waves was the best!

We had a great experience but there are issues. Floors and dining table gritty. Questionable patch over a very large hole in the floor. Broken tile that we needed to cover to protect our feet. The location is great and the layout works really well! Focus on maintenance!
