We really enjoyed our stay. The home was very clean and decorated beautifully. The elevator came in great use for my son who has a disability and can’t use the stairs. The owner was very gracious and made checking in a breeze.

Pros:Large property, elevator, pool, outdoor shower, large yard, parking, quiet location, 2 porches, numerous tvs, four refrigerators, cold a/c.
Cons:Key to elevator was not available at check in. Had to travel 90 minutes get it. Wifi & television non existent first day. Downstairs apartment smell bad. Downstairs bathroom hot water difficult to get. One bedroom has double mattress on a broken queen frame. No lawn chairs for beach. Skillets in poor condition. More silverware needed. No grilling utensils. Bring your own garbage bags, kitchen towels, silverware, dish soap, & toilet paper-only enough provided for one day. No swim towels or laundry soap. Floors appeared unclean & bugs everywhere on arrival. Front storm door spring & back door screen are broken. Safety issue, tight metal spiral staircase right as exiting the elevator. Elevator is pitch dark unless button is held down. Waterslide water hose broken. Stickers in grass around pool. A/C controls are locked. Bugs are an issue. It worked for what we needed, but could have been better. Host issues can be fixed.

I told Ms. Rosalind that she needed to update her pictures on VRBO because the property is nicer than the pictures shown. She really worked well with me. My family who trusted us to get the property was pleased and asked us to look into planning to stay at the home again for the next family trip. The pool was truly heated. She didn't talk much about the downstairs garage room--very roomy with lots of tables and chairs. We didn't get to use the ping pong table because it was folded. Extra refrigerators that seemed ideal for storing fish if you go fishing--wont interfere with regular refrigerators. Only wish she had a vent in the upstairs kitchen--i was a little afraid of smelling the house. I would certainly stay again. Lots of extras.

Property was awesome and the host was even better. This house had everything we needed to ensure that we had a great time. Host checked in several times to make sure we didnt need anything. Enjoyed our wonderful trip to Galveston to suprise my aunt for her 60th birthday. Thanks for having us!!!!

We were expecting 6 full bedrooms, because I didn’t read the entire listing, but Mrs Rosalind was great and very attentive. When we had any questions she was always available and ready with answers. The stay was so good our grandkids asked if we could stay forever. Highly recommend!

We chose this property for the Handicap access which worked well and was adequate in sleeping arrangements. We had 9 adults. 5 siblings and 4 spouses for a family get away. When we stayed there were no top sheets on any of the beds which we found odd. No water pressure in the Master shower, no hot water in the downstairs bath and the main bath upstairs didn't drain too well. The canopy on the upstairs deck doesn't work. Be sure to get the Property Damage protection policy because all appliances (except the upstairs stove, which broke while we were there) are old and could break at any time. It's been 8 weeks since we stayed at this property and I still haven't received my "refundable" deposit back. Ms Brooks is not the easiest person to work with. She hasn’t filed the proper claims for reimbursement and is holding the refundable deposit, won’t return calls or answer text messages. JUST BE PREPARED.

Very clean and spacious property. Home owners were great with communication and helpful when I had questions!
As a swimming pool contractor I was impressed with with pool and the area around it. Everything was up to code and safe. No gaps in fencing and lad lock on gate with a top latch also

Big place just enough for our family and close relatives and friends. With 3 full baths, 3 refrigerators and 2 kitchens. Plenty of rooms to accommodate us. Other family members were having tents outside for the night because of the huge ground. Elevator was a plus for the oldies with arthritic pain. It was hot during the weekend, so the younger ones played ping pong the garage. We were supposed to play badminton and volleyball in the ground or yard, but it was too hot. This house rental is the only one I found which allows events. We had karaoke night and then dancing. We had so much fun knowing we were just staying there. The occasion was ‘Till morning the night’. Thank you Ms Rosalind Brooks for allowing us to check in few min ahead of time. This is highly recommended for a group or family get together.

Bad-Good-Summary
1st- Upon arriving at the property it was in disarray. Housekeeping was working frantically to get the house cleaned and ready for us(we arrived 30min early but there was ALOT more than 30min worth of cleaning to be done). There was broken chairs around the pool, the BBQ area was unclean with even food left on one of the grills, the ground was covered with what must have been a water balloon fight remains, food left in the gaming area downstairs, trash around the property grounds, ALL the garbage cans were on the road OVERFLOWING with garbage, No towels left out for use(NONE), no washcloths(NONE), no hand towels(NONE) and no keys to the property in the lockbox. We waited patiently until 4pm check in and then housekeeping said upstairs was ready and they were still working on downstairs. Needless to say at this point I was attempting to contact Property Owner Rosalind Brooks to notify her of the situation. Well....housekeeping left and I'll say they did a good(not great) job of cleaning rooms, bathrooms, kitchen and floors. Grandson finally found the keys to the property under one of the TV's downstairs bedrooms. Housekeeping's manager came back to the property around 6:30 0r 7 and got some towels, dishtowels and washcloths out of a storage room for us. Miss Brooks also contacted me that evening and apologized for the condition of the property and said she would be there the next day. Well....that was the arrival.
2nd- The next day and for the remainder of our stay we found the property to be dated but very nice for a large group(we had 6 adults and 7 teen-preteen young ones, 13 overall). Elevator IS a nice touch with the main kitchen being upstairs and helping with back and forth. Pool was nice(needed some attention but was manageable). Grills were serviceable(AFTER Cleaning). Lots of refrigerators and tables for large group.
In summary of our stay...we had Good and Bad. The arrival was a disaster but after meeting with Miss Brooks I understood a little better(some people don't have ANY respect for another persons property). The Pool was nice and the elevator is nice if you need it. Large groups will do well there and it is only a short drive to the beach. I've stayed at many property's and for the price I would not stay at this property again, mainly because of the issues upon arrival. Roasalind is very nice and she'll do everything she can to make your stay enjoyable. Just hope you don't have to follow bad renters like we did.

Spring Break with Friends and Teens
The house was perfect for us having a place for the older kids to hang out and the moms could be in the main area of the house.
Since it was March the heated pool was nice as well.

Amazing place for family fun even if weather is a factor.
Could use some minor updates to lighting . Power flickers / some windows knock in the wind. Overall great.

Arrived. Downstairs wasn’t cleaned. Carpet rug dirty. Looked like powdered sugar on all furniture in the living room. Sheets weren’t clean. I have pictures if needed. Long story short. I left my iPad there. Live 4 hours away. Called Ms. Rosalind Brooks multiple times to see if she could ship it back(I’d pay) or if I could have friends that I know there pick it up. She blocked all of my calls n text. Stay there at your own risk knowing that the place might not be clean and that the property manager sure isn’t an honest person.

Location was great. House was very spacious, a lot of rooms and space to move around. Having the pool was a plus. Expected the place to be more clean. The rooms by the garage was not in good condition, bed sheets smells bad and restroom fixtures were broken.

I want to say that it was exactly as expected from the pictures. I tend to look for family style places that aren’t overly perfect so that we can enjoy ourselves. When we arrived there was only a small issue with some of the cleaning. Upstairs was cleaned nicely but downstairs which is a separate area had a couple issues. Nothing that would stop us from using again. Downstairs has pretty much an apartment with two bedrooms, bathroom, kitchen and living area. It was perfect for the two families with small kids and dogs. The garage area had tables set up which was used nightly for those who wanted to play games late. It did not bother anyone upstairs but was a little noisy for the downstairs apartment rooms. Upstairs is roomy and trust me has enough dishes, cups, bowls, cooking utensils for any large group. The elevator was a blessing as we had my 83 yo mom with us. She loved the area just out where the laundry is and the door to the upper porch. The house is kept very cool all the time. We enjoyed movies and tv to relax after spending a couple days at the beach which is only 6 mins away. It was perfect. The pool is deep but the slide and handle to walk in are not usable. The bugs love the pool even though the pool man is out there every Tuesday to clean we did have to skim quite a bit. One thing I loved is that the owner was on top of anything that came up. We could not have asked for any quicker responses.. Although 15 minutes from Kroger and other shopping we did an order and picked up. Be sure to check order as lots of items are out in Galveston. We did Moody Gardens, Pleasure Pier, Schliterban, beach, escape room, rented a boat for 5 hours. All were within 15-20 minutes from property. Peace and quiet at night, and close to everything, Thank you for a wonderful vacation!

We Did A Cabinet Installation in Galveston and Had my Children and Grandchildren meet us There for the Weekend, The Home is Very Spacious and has Everything our Family needed . It Is Outdated needs A Facelift. It was Cold For the Weekend, and we Didn’t know how to Heat the Pool . We love the Layout of the Home , especially the Downstairs Apartment perfect for Our Tenagers and Grandchildren. We Will definitely do another Vacation there when it is Summertime. This Home has it All !!!
