The home is nice and simple unfortunately no closets to hang your clothes there were no extra blankets. The price was right. We would definitely go back and stay again and would definitely bring extra blankets if it was in the winter time

We had a great but short stay. Property has been updated; good place for kids.

The property is as shown and a wonderful stay. It was a quick in and out for us as we were heading for a cruise. The local area is beautiful and we had an amazing time. Only pitfall, not of the owner's doing or fault, is the directions from the VRBO app were not correct. They gave a wrong address when opened in Google Maps. I would recommend this stay to others and would book again!

We visited with our small children and teenagers and loved the detached room downstairs for the teens. They had their own bathroom and were able to hang out in their own secluded space. Kitchen was well equipped aside from measuring spoons and a large baking sheet, but we were able to make it work with the provided dishes. We had a group of seven and mealtimes were cramped, but do-able. Keep in mind if you have a larger group and may all be in the kitchen at once. Host was fantastic! He was responsive and informative. We'd definitely stay again.

Very clean and well-stocked. The not so good:
…host sent code for key box which was on post by “front door” without saying front door is on 2nd level. Arrived on wet, cold night to find only outside light was by door on ground level near which was post with 2 key boxes so we assumed this was “front door”. After many failed attempts to open key boxes, we sent host msg asking him to call - he never did. This was all very confusing and uncomfortable.
.. in spite of being very well stocked otherwise, kitchen had only partial set of measuring spoons - no tbls which we needed for coffee.
…wall mirror and vanity lights are so low that anyone over 5’9”” has to stoop to use
…despite host’s claims we could find nothing in listing informing that one bedroom and bath are on ground level with only outside access. Knowing this would have most likely have impacted our choice.
All-in-all it was “OK” but, after including add-on fees very over-priced on our opinion.

This is a cute home away from the hustle and bustle of the main drag, but close enough to restaurants and sightseeing within 10 minutes. Could use a bit of updating, especially the floors, but a nice place. Russell was very responsive to all of my messages.

We really enjoyed our stay here! The setup worked out for the group we had and their family ended up taking the downstairs "game" room. The upstairs rooms could have been colder but at least there were fans provided and we always travel with our own! The outside could have been cleaned up better, there were cigarette butts everywhere and the babies kept picking them up. Other than that we very much enjoyed our stay!!

Quick couple days stay at the beach with our two dogs. Cute beach house nicely decorated, comfy beds and we did not cook. Did use the coffee maker and microwave but well equipped kitchen if you want to cook. Couch super comfy easy to use the TV. Yard almost all fenced in except where the driveway is so have to stay out with dogs but that was ok ours mind and don’t run off still nice most of it fenced. We did not use downstairs but did look at it very cute great place for older kids to stay. They have the sports game machines but not the foos ball table. Washer and dryer down there too. I saw some one complained about the flooring there are spots that have separated but was not a big deal too us. And we drove to the beach each time which is a minute drive but you can walk I feel like it would be about 4 min walk you can see the beach from their patio. But so easy to drive the public parking is right across the street. Literally park on the beach and then walk to your area you want to hang out at. Very easy! Yes I would stay here again. Also if you have dogs they have a water hose on stair by driveway easy to hose off the dogs. Not sure if outside shower worked we tried it first night in the dark and could not get it to come on but the hose is easier anyway🙂

We were amaze in all the amenities the house has such as laundry kitchen complements and the grill place ufff really nice and handy. Really quiet place and the early mornings were my favorites on the balcony. We will book this house next year the beach near by is really family and pet friendly. It was our first time booking a house and the process and comunication was excellent. Thank you for the amazing stay at your property.

Had a nice quick trip down to Galveston. We mainly used the home to sleep, but it was clean and had some good amenities. It was good.

While the ease of access to the beach was our main concern, I would say this should only be rated for that and just being a place to lay your head at night. The pictures look great but keep in mind that it is more rough around the edges in person.
The house certainly needs more TLC and I believe the property management could spend a little more time thinking about what renters would like to see. Examples: 1) take the time to buy a $5 toilet paper holder so people don’t have to put the toilet paper roll that they’re using on the floor. 2) secure the shower fixtures so that the shower head does not fall completely off with the slightest adjustment. 3) while the flooring was pretty, it clearly was not installed by professionals. There were a lot of gaps between planks and some parts had risen and even caused us to trip quite a few times. 4) soooo many bugs in the downstairs “game room.”
We looked past quite a lot and just thought of it as a place to sleep at night, but even if the home is for sale, better care of the property will equal better reviews and happier customers. At least the oven was working again though! (Based on a June review). I should note that I did not bother to reach out to the host about these notes because, besides a toilet paper holder, none of the concerns are quick fixes. We did not want our stay interrupted, but hopefully more care will be given to the property soon!

Here's what you need to know before renting this property.
1. The refrigerator just gets cool, not cold. Bring a big ice chest to keep perishables in.
2. Oven does not work. Maintenace did bring a counter top convection oven after our cinnamon rolls were still doughy after 3 hrs in the oven.
3. Close the vents in the living room before going to bed so the bedrooms get cool. Open them back up in the morning.
4. The downstairs gameroom has a hole in the ceiling from a leaking rusty pipe that has obviously been leaking for a while; there has to be mold growing up there.
5. Wear shoes on the deck! Rusty nails sticking up.
These issues had all been reported before in reviews.
The property is for sale which tells me the owner would rather sell it than fix anthing. We left a day early before anything else happened. We were issued a partial refund for our "inconvenience".
Maintenance man gets 5 stars for bringing the counter top oven, ice for our ice chests, and listening to my rant with kindness.

We had a wonderful time. The house was close to the beach. Very nice that the marina restaurant and store were just down the street as well. The house was nice and clean. Our only issues were the gnats were annoying and that the ceiling in one of the bedrooms dripped a little during a storm the last morning we were there.

My family and I don't take trips very often due to money being tight, so we were super excited about being able to get away for a bit to this wonderful home. It was exactly what we needed. A cute little beach home for us to sleep in after our day at the beach.

Decent for the price except there's no closets and you'll live out of your bag. The fenced yard has no gate so your dog can't run free.

Vacationing made easy!
We really enjoyed our stay. Easy walk to the beach (even easier drive). Very chill, family friendly neighborhood and access to the fishing pier was a huge bonus! Great place to relax on the deck and close enough to feel the breeze from the Gulf. Very clean and little extras like COFFEE was much appreciated.

Disappointed Customer
Pros: home decor cute, game room (although not all games pictured are available-no Fuzzball, no cornhole) gives kiddos somewhere to hangout during down times, outside shower, kitchen well stocked…
Cons: house is NOT what is pictured on VRBO! Floors are coming up in almost every room of the house. It was reported to the owner but after looking more at reviews it seems to have been reported before. The upstairs bedroom with bunks is much hotter than the rest of the house. The rooms do not have storage so guest live out of their suitcases for the duration of their stay. Since there are no closets it would be nice to have something to put the suitcases on to get them off the floor. Guest have to pay $100 for the community pool (which is not stated in the description and non refundable).Games pictured on the VRBO site are not at the house (see above). We looked forward to playing cornhole with the kiddos. The roof in the upstairs bedroom (with bunks) leaks in two different places. The property manager was notified.
All-in-all the house is not well maintained with the number of guests I’m sure it occupies. We’ve had wonderful experiences with VRBO thus far but we will not be returning or recommending this place to anyone.

Pulled up to the property. Looks nothing like the pictures. Walked in. Floorboard’s throughout the home (living areas, kitchen, bathroom, bedrooms) are all coming up and/or screwed down with rusted screws. If I could attach pictures I would. Two of our guests cut the bottom of their feet. I have small children who had to wear shoes our entire stay to avoid getting hurt. The oven DOES NOT work. There is no foos ball table as shown in pictures. When I informed the host of the matters I was told they would inform the Handy man. After reading through all of the reviews I noticed that other people had the same complaint and clearly they already knew prior to our arrival of the property. There was not enough toilet paper for three days for 10 people. 3 rolls total. I informed the host they told me somebody would be dropping it off instead somebody dropped off towels. When I let the host know the wrong product had been dropped off they informed me there was a language barrier and they would be bringing toilet paper shortly which never arrived so we had to go and purchase our own. The living space is that of a studio apartment and not conducive for a family of six or more. The bedroom with the queen bed and bunkbeds is a hotbox and never cools down. I will never stay at this shack again and quite frankly it ruined our Father’s Day trip to the beach. We were gravely dissatisfied and disheartened by the lack of attention shown to the property. Clearly the owner is only concerned about $$$ and not the satisfaction of their consumer. Paid $1700+ for a shack. We could have beach camped for cheaper with more accommodations. Reaching out to VRBO to have the place looked in to. Don’t waste your time or money with this property.
