We were not satisfied with our stay here. Pictures in the listing are misleading and must have been taken a while ago. Primary complaints include: NO HOT WATER in the upstairs bathrooms, constant slow drip in laundry room, ants on kitchen counter, dirty cupboards and kitchenware (mold and bugs), non-working electrical outlets, doors off the hinges, loose floor tiles, no broom or vacuum, no beach towels, and not enough bath towels/washcloths. The host, Chris, was responsive in getting us more towels and a broom, but he did not address any of the main issues with the house, including the no hot water. Instead, he offered to buy us a pizza. We asked for a refund but he denied there were any issues before we arrived, even when we sent photos of the problems. This property was not worth the money we paid. We have stayed in other beach front properties in this area that were much cleaner and better stocked. The welcome gift on the counter was a nice enough gesture, but they were all expired snacks by 4 to 10 months. We were not allowed to use the shutters on the window. The trash cans outside were full when we arrived and no one came to move or empty them like the instructions said. The sand toys downstairs were in disarray when we arrived, and there was still trash left from the guests before. Would only recommend this house if the primary issues were fixed or rented at a much lower cost. Overall very disappointing.

Great location, deck, and house arrangement. AC struggled upstairs, house had ants, and there needs to be basic maintenance of home

Living room and deck are both amazing. Plenty of room for everyone to get together. Beds were very comfortable. Only complaint was there wasn’t an ice maker, but there were 2 refrigerators so we had plenty of room to chill all of the drinks and store ice. Would recommend.

The property was perfectly located , well maintained and very spacious .The beach was barely 50 yards from back porch, non vehicle access and very private .Home provisions were plentiful and house was very clean .However the best part was our host Chris .He was timely in responses and very pleasant to deal with. I recommend this house for many reasons but location on Indian Beach was near enough to Galveston for everything and private /exclusive enough to enjoy the private wave therapy .Kudos Chris.

Wonderful open space to visit and awesome porches with excellent views of the beach. The kitchen and baths need attention to cleaning and re-supplying in the kitchen. Overall, excellent time with the family and excellent location.

We thoroughly enjoyed everything about this property. The home is gorgeous, huge, and very well designed for family gatherings; and the location is perfect. Communication with the owners and property management were fast and very responsive any time we needed anything. We will definitely rent this property again.

We traveled to Galveston for dance nationals. Our group was 5 adults, 4 teenagers ages 14-18 and a 10 year old. We walked in the house and were blown away by how gorgeous the house is and the amazing open living/dining space. Walking out on the back patio we were thrilled by the amazing ocean. The beach is steps away down the private walkway. The kitchen is fully equipped just like home. We cooked most of our meals at the house and were never without a utensil, or pot or pan. Each bedroom was comfortable and met all of our needs. I cannot say enough good things about this house. This house has everything you would need for a great vacation! I will book this house again if we come to Galveston. Also a small grocery store near by pretty well stocked for those last minute needs! Love love loved our stay!

Spent a long Memorial Day 2022 in this spacious and beautiful home right on the Galveston beach. Our family of eight were able to spread out and enjoy the ocean beauty. We could walk right out to the beach every day after having coffee on the massive balcony patio with a nice bench swing. We have rented numerous properties in Galveston and this one by far the best experience we have had. Highly recommended.

This place is perfect. I can’t say enough.great location. Beautiful home, best stocked house I’ve ever rented and I have rented several all over the world. It had everything you needed plenty of dishes pots pans games for kids. Boogie boards. Plenty of towel even beach towel.. I highly recommend this home. Of course there a few minor things other would fuss about but you are on salt water. It’s perfect

The photos on VRBO are a total misrepresentation of the inside of the house. The common areas are very worn out. Bugs (live and dead) in kitchen drawers. Carpets and area rugs are in poor condition and in need of a thorough cleaning and furniture needs replacement. The kitchen had swarms of gnats and a terrible smell coming from the under sink cabinet. I messaged the owner Chris M. through the Vrbo app. His response was to offer to buy us pizza one night, but not to address the bugs. The property was not worth the cost.

While this property is ready for updating, you can’t beat the beach access. The owner is very responsive to any concerns. We enjoyed a wonderful family vacation.

Can’t say enough nice things about this beach house!! Was perfect for my family and the location next to the water is amazing. Amazing spot for a long vacation in Galveston.

My family surprised our 98yr old grandmother with a beach vacation. This house couldn’t have been more perfect.
The elevator made this trip possible and the expansive deck was perfect for relaxing and enjoying the ocean views when we didn’t want to actually go to the beach. When we did go to the beach, the private boardwalk was awesome and easily accommodated a wheelchair. There are 3 small steps at the end to get to the beach. We were able to push my grandmother sitting on her walker to our tent setup on beach. The sand was hard enough. Not sure if always hard, or if it was compacted due to rain earlier in week, but my grandmother made it down to the beach 4 times.
It was so nice being away from the hustle and bustle of the island. We really enjoyed being on the west end. It’s an easy 20min drive to the east end. Gaido’s is a must!
There was ample room for all of us (9 adults + 3 teens). Large living room and dining room table. The two refrigerators were awesome. We used the laundry fridge as our drink fridge. The beds were comfortable and there’s plenty of hot water. With everyone showering, hot water was never an issue. The driveway was large enough for all our 5 cars.
Chris was responsive to any questions and the welcome basket was extremely thoughtful.
We definitely look forward to returning next summer!

Perfect house for a big group. The deck facing the ocean is incredible and was spacious for all. We had everything we needed in and at the house and were very comfortable. We had a great time. I did not receive an email per the instructions an hour or two before arrival regarding check-in notes and procedure for entering the house but a quick text message that was promptly responded to got me what I needed. Would recommend to anyone and would stay again!

Amazing property! My family went on our annual family beach trip and really enjoyed our stay. The house held all of us very comfortably, 9 adults and 5 children. Beachfront access. The owners were quick to respond to any questions we had. Would definitely book here again for future trips.
5.0
Hosts were very sweet and helpful. We were honored to be their first guests in this house. Well stocked, clean, and perfect location away from some of the hustle and bustle but still convenient to all of Galveston. Hard to fine a place that is pet friendly AND handicap accessible. The elevator made it possible for a mobility scooter to get around easily. Would highly recommend this home and it’s hosts!!
