My husband and I enjoyed our stay with our fur babies. Sitting on the porch swing on the 3rd floor and just relaxing and watching the ocean. 20 second walk from the beach and the large patio is great to just hangout on. We will be back!

Lovely beach house for us as a couple. The kids rooms will be a bit tight, but the excitement of the kids getting to play on the beach will tire them out. The house is right on the beach which is very convenient, sunsets and sunrises are spectacular. As a retired Merchant Mariner the upstairs living room made me feel like I was on the wheelhouse of a ship.
Bring binoculars and beach chairs.
About the title of the review, I think we counted 83 different camels in the house, but we may have missed some. Game on!

This house has the best location. Right on the beach with the most amazing views. Sunrise and sunsets and all day viewing. Great porches and outdoor seating. Spent the week outside on the porch.
Home is older and smaller inside but perfect for our family of 5. Kitchen was great and had all that we needed. Needs a really good cleaning as it was very dusty. Needs additional bedding but had a great stack of bath towels! Lots of sand toys in garage for kids to play with.
Bring pillows and extra blankets. Bring your own cleaning spray.
The location is the winner for this house. Beautiful porches and view.
5.0
It was sort of the vacation location you dream of. A nice house practically on the beach with beautiful ocean waves slapping up against the sandy beach. It was also very peaceful and quiet with a relatively few of amount of people… just enough to know that you’re not alone. Of course we walked along the beach a few times but spent most of our time telling stories and laughing while hearing and watching the ocean and the seagulls… a perfect backdrop! We are definitely going back next year!

It was a family mini get away. This house was in a perfect location. We walked to the beach every day, at night my husband and I wat hed the ocean from the balcony. The property had everything we needed.

Great location and views, but the place is very dusty and there are huge cockroaches inside. Beddings were very clean though, so it was nice.
5.0
This place is literally right on the beach with amazing views from the deck. Beach access is 50 yards from the front door. Also, the beach is only used by the neighborhood, so it doesn’t get crowded and feels very private. House was very clean and enough space for two families.

The only negative thing I have to report is the inadequate description of how to access the property. I have stayed at similar properties on dozens of occasions and had never had a problem until this one. (Getting in took over half an hour). Will be going back to this house in June but don't anticipate any problems then. Beyond that our stay was wonderful.

The one good thing about this house is its location and view, but we would not stay there again. We saw multiple cockroaches in the kitchen, and many of the dishes were put away dirty. The shower backed up the first time we used it, although Vacasa did fix it the same day. The worst part was that we noticed a musty smell in the house upon arrival. When we got back home we realized all of our clothing, towels, etc smelled terrible. The odor from the house penatrated everything with this awful moldy/mildew smell. We had to heavily wash everything, even the stuff we didn't wear while there. We paid about $500 a night after taxes and fees, and for that price, the experience didn't feel adequate.

We wanted a peaceful getaway in an oceanfront house and that’s what we got! Location and views were wonderful, house was clean and well stocked. I deducted one star because the instructions to unlock the lockbox to get the keys didn’t match up to the actual lockboxes there. I had to text for help and eventually someone called me to troubleshoot and we eventually got in. To Vacasa’s credit, they were responsive, which I really appreciated. Once we got in the house, the weekend was amazing. The only other issue we had was the bathtub drain upstairs wouldn’t drain for some reason. The downstairs bath worked fine. Despite the setback when we first arrived, everyone enjoyed the house and agreed that we’d stay there again!

It was really easy to find . Loved that is was close to beach . Did not like that dog hair was everywhere . The stairs was a little narrow that except. But other than that had a blast with family

We loved sitting on the deck overlooking the ocean. Location is fabulous. Neighborhood is quiet and everyone is friendly. This inside space was tight but it worked because most of our time was spent outdoors. The only complaint I would have would be the ants which appeared on the third night from the sideboards and flooring. Lots of ants living in the wood flooring.

This property is completely outfitted with dog doors, gates and a fenced potty area - perfect for a small pooch.

Location and layout were perfect. Our 4- and 2-year-old kids had a blast here! The top floor bathtub clogged on our first night but that didn't dampen our trip! This was a great house for our family! We love Vacasa rentals!

Great location and view. The house was clean and had everything we needed. House could benefit from a light at the bottom of the outside stairs. We really enjoyed our stay and would come back again.

Loved the view and location. We had a few sunny and rainy days and it was awesome being so close to the beach with an amazing view!

The management team went above and beyond to help us get into the house as we showed up after dark and checked on us the following day. The location to the beach is great, the house set-up is a little weird but doable for a small family and not sure it was big enough for the price you pay but everything worked and the stay was fabulous.

This home home is always about the view. Everything is is secondary. Still, a highly recommended property, although too expensive, in my view. Thanks

I stayed her a few years ago and came back! It is right on the beach and the neighborhood is pretty quiet.
4.0
Overall our stay was very good. However the access codes/directions we were provided were wrong. 45 minutes later we were able to get into the property. There were no blankets only a very thin coverlet. We requested a late checkout and was denied because I called 5 mins past the policy cut off time. If y'all can workout these fairly minor kinks I will definitely provide a 5 star rating next time!

Check-in was an ease. Love not carrying around an extra set of keys! Home was cozy and comfortable but honestly we spent more time at the beach just over the dune! It was very private, with very few people and the perfect weather. Best time of year to visit Galveston!
5.0
This is a beautiful house right on the beach. Great access with small path leading right to the water. The porch has a lot of sitting space to sit, relax and have a glass of wine or coffee. The upstairs has an awesome view as well. We will definitely come back here to enjoy the beautiful sunrises and sunsets!
5.0
The location to the beach...walking distance was the crown jewel. We sat on the porches and relaxed without a care. Loved it. We'll be back
4.0
Directly on the water - can’t beat location without pitching a tent on the beach! Small, private home opened to guests versus empty rental. Kitchen had everything you needed to cook and only 7 miles from Galveston’s best restaurants if not! Hot water, clean sheets, and we’ll maintained home - it’s all we needed!
4.0
We couldn't beat the nearness of the beach to us, maybe 100 yards and the bed was very comfortable. Our dogs were so happy outside and we did some shell collecting also on restful walks along the shoreline. The internet and entertainment center were also outstanding.

Location is Key for a Beach Getaway and this house has it. The house is built for Ocean Views and is perfect for a Small Family with Pets. The layout of the House is designed so that everyone can have their own little personal space while still allowing everyone to gather in the kitchen or on the deck to enjoy the ocean views. The family spent hours on the decks and in the upper viewing area enjoying the ocean breeze and talking with each other. Great Place to recharge and to see Galveston.
3.0
The location of this property was perfect. We spent most of our time on the upstairs porch enjoying the view of the beach and watching the waves roll in. There is only 1 bedroom with a bed suitable for a couple. All of the other beds in the house are bunk beds.
The home was tidy when we arrived but needed a thorough cleaning. There was sand underneath the rug at the kitchen table indicating that had not been swept. The kitchen cabinets and refrigerator needed to be emptied and cleaned. Given the cost of the cleaning fee we expected it to be practically perfect. The kitchen is very well equipped including a crock pot.
The upstairs air conditioner was not functioning properly during our stay but the management company was very responsive in getting a repairman out to the home. Unfortunately it was not an easy fix so only at day 3 was it repaired. All and all it is a nice home but it is too cramped for more than 1 couple in my opinion. Our stay included only 2 adults and we were comfortable. The location couldn't be beat for what we were wanting to do.

The kids had a blast playing on the beach and it was nice to be able to see them from the balcony.

The house was very clean with a well equipped kitchen. Lots of towels and even extra sheets if you have the need! The most fantastic feature tho is the view!! Unobstructed ocean view and we were even fortunate enough to sit on the covered porch in the swing to see a beautiful strawberry moon. Great fenced yard for your doggie too!! A real find!

Close to Nate’s Seafood (the best!!) and a nice place to unwind. We needed two more days-and will consider this place again!
