Beachside home with wraparound deck, washer\/dryer, & AC
About this house rental
Ocean Orchid Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!' Just a short walk from the beach and loaded with awesome on-site amenities, this home is just what your family has been waiting to find for your next vacation! When you're not building sandcastles down at the beach or sightseeing the area, kick back on the spacious living room corner couch to watch your favorite movies and shows on the mounted flatscreen TV. The furnished wraparound deck is a great place to entertain your dinner guests with spectacular views and plenty of space for everyone to move around. Be sure to bring the complimentary beach towels with you when you head down to the beach, come home to spritz away the sand with the outdoor shower, then move inside to get something creative started in the full kitchen. The kitchen is as beautiful as it is spacious, with stainless steel appliances, gorgeous cookware, and miles of counter space. The kids will love helping from the center prep island's barstool seats, and the dishwasher will knock out all the dirty dishes while you serve everyone up at the glass-top dining table with seating for up to eight guests. The private washer/dryer will take care of everyone's laundry after a hot-weather hike or some fun beachcombing and you'll love how quickly the central AC cools the place down. When it's time to turn in for the night, you'll have five bedrooms to take advantage of and a loft for extra sleepers, so everyone will have plenty of space and privacy during your stay. The first and second rooms both have queen-size beds, the third room has a double futon and a queen, the fourth and fifth rooms have queens as well, and there are double futons in the living room and the loft. The home's high-speed internet and free WiFi make it quick and easy for remote workers and students to complete their projects on time. This home is located within a short 1-2 minute walk to the beach, so be sure to pack extra sunscreen for your afternoons of sun and sand. Schlitterbahn Waterpark Galveston is just six miles east, where you'll find attractions like Bahnzai Pipeline, Cliffhanger, and Dragon Blaster. Spend some time at Galveston Island State Park to explore all the birdwatching and hiking trails the area has to offer.

The pictures are misleading. The pictures are just fuzzy enough to hide the problems Some of the furniture shown is not there. The upstairs balcony is in shambles; broken bar top, broken bench, broken chairs, holes in the wall, old wires and piping sticking out of the wall and broken railing. The AC for that room was ripped out. One refrigerator did not work and the other was missing shelves in the fridge and freezer so you had to pile food in. There was a refrigerator sitting in the driveway area wrapped up but no one showed up to install it. Not sure if it even worked. The inside was dirty when we arrived (roaches and old toe nail clippings). Two futons were broken so we had to buy a bed and two air mattresses. There are houses with actual beach access (this doesn’t have that) close by at comparable prices. DO YOUR RESEARCH! I have pics of all of this. Do not respond with a “we’re sorry your stay was bad”. These were not new issues. The pictures are just fuzzy enough to hide the problems.

Start off by saying it was cute, the location was amazing, and the beds were comfortable!
Down side….the air conditioner didn’t work in the upstairs common area and the bedroom next to it so the people staying in there would sweat all night long….
Just a few cautions… the kitchen window was broke, the balcony had slats missing, and the cookware needs updating. We had small children with us so it was a little nerve racking worrying about them.
Other than those few things we had a good time!

Was nice to have a place that was affordable, close to the beach, and big enough for kids and grandchildren. If I could give any feedback it would be the following:
1. Put a big trash can in kitchen. We had to use small trash cans from bathroom and was not enough.
2. Big roaches in house. Exterminate please!
3. Provide instructions on how to lock the house. We had electronics and had to carry our stuff with us each time we left because we couldn't lock the house.

The upstairs gets above 80 degrees during the day and is very hot. Balcony off the kitchen is missing some railing which makes it dangerous for small children to fall through.
Location on the beach is fantastic and easy check-in.

The pictures make this home look much nicer than it actually is. I would NOT say that this is a good beach home. The house itself it large, but every part of the home is in need of maintenance. The outdoor rails around the porches are held up by only paint. The rest is just rotten. The fridge gave out after our first day onsite. We had to dump a ton of food as it went bad. I would never go back and rent this home. It just needs too much work to get it back to a working property.

We loved watching the sunrise and sunset firm the decks. Enjoyed the close access to the beach. The only negative issue was the electrical outlets in the upstairs bathrooms didn’t work & the bedrooms didn’t have mirrors so that made getting ready a little difficult when you have 7 women in your party. Also a railing on the entry stairs would be really helpful. But we had a wonderful stay.

If you are satisfied with only basic services then this is the place for you. Listed pictures are probably a few years old and only show interior. Place actually looks rundown and sad with many broken benches and outdoor areas. Poor maintenance throughout. Examples, Dishwasher not installed properly, one working washing machine is falling apart, gas grill was so dirty it flared up and had to be moved to safe location, front door does not close properly.
Would not go back to Ocean Orchid under any conditions

This house was a great house for a few small families to enjoy while in Galveston for a soccer family. However, the pictures advertised were not quite realistic with present day. There were several flaws such as holes and cracks in the walls where ants would pile into the house. Couches that are no longer there, that you see in pictures. Rusted nails that cut some of our children were stepped on while on the outside deck. We had stains on our bedding, and there were left over dirty clothes from another family’s stay in the dressers. The futons, when laid flat, looked like they hadn’t been swept in months with the amount of crumbs on them. There are not 5 queen beds as advertised, but full size beds were found in the rooms. Also, the bathrooms available are 3 full and one 1/2 bath. Vents are rusted and covered in thick dust.
Don’t get me wrong, we had a fabulous time, and the size of the house is perfect—giving plenty of space for everyone. It just needs a major update and makeover to help make it a 5 star!

Positives: The house was spacious and we had plenty of room to sit and visit and eat. Plenty of linens. Kitchen was well stocked. Short walk to the beach. TV in the kitchen was a nice touch.
Negatives: The house needs so very much maintenance; it is significantly over priced for condition of the home. Two rooms upstairs have no AC-bring box fans. Upstairs washer doesn’t work. Downstairs washer is off balanced and extremely loud. One of our kids stepped on a nail on the porch-be careful out there as it is in poor condition. The giant cover for the hurricane roll up doors fell down upon our arrival. There were roaches in the upstairs large bathroom. The upstairs toilet flushing mechanism is held together worh a shoelace-toilet won’t flush on its own. One TV is hung on the wall with a coat hanger. Trash cans were all over flowing, trash only runs once a week and it piles up between guests. Downstairs patio was filthy, full of random stuff abandoned by other visitors. Stair cases are very tiny and narrow and steep, not good for elderly visitors.
Overall, I am very disappointed with the accommodations for how much money we spent.

This house was a great location, and the beach area did not allow for vehicle parking, which was great. The house needed significant maintenance....1) the upstairs washing machine filled with water, but then shut off and did not wash; while the downstairs washing machine's drum was so unbalanced it was very loud. 2) the toilet in the half bath was not secured and rocked when one got up 3) the sink stoppers in two of the bathrooms did not raise and lower at all, we had to pry them open to get the sinks to drain, 4) the downstairs shower had only a dribble of cold water which made for very hot showers, 5)the weather stripping on the exterior doors was ineffective and the breeze came right in, 6) some of the living room/kitchen furniture was in poor condition (a broken kitchen table chair was sitting on the balcony when we arrived), 7)the kitchen utensils/ pans were poor quality and or broken (we had to go to a neighbor to get a working can opener), 8) there was not enough silverware for 14 (thankfully we had brought plastic), 9)the ac was inconsistent(some rooms were hot why others were freezing.

My stay here was very positive, my friends and I had the time of our lives. Very good location and scenery with a perfect view of the beach. The home was stocked up on everything we needed to make our stay wonderful. However, I rated only 4 stars because some of the kitchenware and essentials to everyday living were a bit old and brittle. For example, the silverware box was broken, the door to the bathroom gets stuck sometimes and you have to pry it open with maximum strength, and much more. For the price you pay, I should of expected better but overall it was very nice. I definitely would recommend this house to anyone looking for a nice relaxing getaway!!
