The listing was 100% accurate. Our overall stay was fantastic. Two downfalls- 1) pool maintenance show up unannounced at 10:30 and was there for over 2 hours. Once he left we were told we could not get in the pool for Two hours. That was a total of 4 hours taken away from my family enjoying the pool and being outside. 2) the water in both showers neither were consistent it went from scalding hot to ice cold in seconds then back and forth without touching the shower temperature handle, the pressure was not all that great either.

My family and I stayed here to celebrate my dad's 60th birthday. The house was just as described and the hosts communicated all the information to us beforehand. We had plenty of towels, kitchen cookware and appliances at our disposal. The fridge is massive and fit all of our food and drinks for the weekend. We definitely enjoyed using the grill outside and relaxing by the pool!I will note that the pool temperature is a little on the warmer sider but that is to be expected in Texas. The house was perfect for my family and we loved our time spent together here!

The pictures of this house do it no justice. The house is much cuter in person. The mattresses could stand to be replaced, it overall we had a great stay.
6 / 10Average·Mar 2026
The house was clean and appeared like the listings, the pool was a nice feature and we were within walking distance to the beach. A few things worth noting: there is zero privacy in the home, none of the bed or bathroom doors lock, rooms have open windows above the door. The kitchen door handle broke off during our stay and the property management company was not responsive at all. This meant we had to leave the door wide open if we were in the back or risk being locked out. The showers only went to scalding hot or ice cold, which was incredibly challenging washing kids. We requested help and were only told they’d put in a work order but nothing was ever fixed. Living room TV does not have streaming features which was a bummer. Overall it was an okay stay. We enjoyed our time in Galveston and appreciated how close the house was to everything.
