Water in master shower on main level doesn't get hot. Could use more comfortable chairs on the deck. House stocked very well.

Our grown kids and their kids had a blast fishing at the house.

Easy renting this property online. Good place to stay for a getaway. Will rent again in the future.

We had great communication with the owner once we booked. Then the day of travel, I had to ask for the code for the house. I'm used to getting an email with all the info in it, but we never received that. I was given the code and address of a yellow house. This house is white. I had to ask for the correct house code. The house wasn't the cleanest of places. Dog fur in the kitchen and living room floor. The carpet upstairs was pretty nasty, needed a good vacuum at the baseboards. There was a half drank frozen Gatorade in our ice so we thru out all the ice and started over. Dried old food was in the cabinet that was just disgusting. It's a cute house in a nice location. Just needs a good deep clean. The trash can in the kitchen had gross fluid at the bottom and no trash bags for us to use. Luckily we had some in our truck. We tried to start a load of towels before we left but there wasn't any laundry soap for us to use. I messaged the owner to say we checked out. My phone was on silent and I had missed 2 calls. She texted to say there was a problem, that one of the kids peed the bed and she doesn't know what to do. I messaged with her back and forth, a lot of times. I said our 14 year old didn't pee the bed, no one did. She said it could have been the previous guest. I said it was bc it wasn't us. My daughter didn't pee the bed, she didn't even sleep in the kid's room. I listened to the voice-mail. It said " you just left the blue house and we have a problem, one of the kids peed the bed, etc." We stayed in a white house so she had no idea what guest was in what house of hers. I figured it out and told her to call the guest who stayed in the blue house and blame their kids for peeing the bed, as we stayed in the white house. We have never been accused of ruining a mattress or being bad guests. We have never had to ask for the code to check in. And we have never stayed in a place this dirty. We wouldn't stay here again. It was pricey for what we had to deal with. And the last communication with the owner over the peed in bed wasn't right and it def had us angry on the way home. She should have been more organized as to what guest was staying in each of her houses. I have never left a bad review with all the places we have stayed with VRBO over the years. I was shocked with everything that went down.

Overall, we had a great time because we made the best of the bad situation. When we showed up, we found out the air conditioner went out the night prior. The cleaning crew was still there well after the Check in time, since the heat made it difficult for them. The property manager communicated the problem to the owner before 0800 that morning, but the owners decided to have a family member fix the air conditioning later in the day. We understand that things break, but a local HVAC service could have had it running by the time we arrived. We were told we may need to stay at a hotel, so searching for hotels last minute during dinner was not relaxing. Later that night, the AC was fixed and It took a few hours to cool off. Because of the heat, I do not believe the cleaners cleaned the entire house. The one room upstairs had sunflower seeds all over the place and the carpets were all not vacuumed. The ledge in the master bedroom shower hasn't been cleaned in a while and there was soap scum with razor caps stuck in it. The ceiling fan in the upstairs guest room worked, but made a loud sound because it is missing a screw. The second day, someone was inside the house to work on the AC more, but they did not leave a note or tell us they would be by prior. Certain doors we had closed were open and Vice versa. The refrigerator inside worked off and on. Sometimes it kept stuff cool, but half the time it did not. We notified the owner the first night but they said it was fine and we just had items in wrong place. I've been using refrigerators for 43 years and I've never heard of this. This is a nice place with a lot of potential, but the experience is definitely not a $300+ per night value. We stay at VRBOs all of the time and have always had a 5 star experience until now. If it was managed and cleaned appropriately, it could be 5 stars quickly.

Our stay here was great! We had such a great time! The house was amazing! Thank you Susan for everything and all your help! We are for sure coming back!

This place is even better in person. The pictures helped us but seeing it was even better. The Host was very very helpful in helping us get situated as we were the first ones staying at the beach house. Susan answered all my messages & phone calls & got us the information needed quickly. I would definitely rate this as a 5 star place to stay while in Galveston.
