Pros: enough room for everybody, great location and beach access, and nice yard for our dogCons: the interior of the home does need extensive repair (which I shared with the property manager) that include what I would consider potential tripping hazards for young/old visitors, mold repair, and extensive painting and resurfacing

Overall, we enjoyed our stay. The location is excellent, the beach access is hard to beat, and the open kitchen/living area was perfect for our family gathering. The kitchen was also exceptionally well stocked with cookware and utensils.A few things future guests should know. We had no internet for our entire stay due to an area outage. That was outside the owners' control, and they kept us informed throughout.The house also struggled to cool down. With the tall ceilings, elevated construction, and beachfront location, that may simply be the nature of the home, but it's something to consider during the summer.We also encountered several large roaches (some alive, some dead). No one likes seeing them, but the home sits directly on the beach on stilts, so we recognize that's an ongoing challenge. The owners had pest-control plug-ins throughout the house, so it was clear they were making an effort.One final note: the upstairs bedrooms do not have a bathroom on the same level, so anyone staying upstairs will need to use the stairs during the night. That may be worth considering for elderly guests or anyone with mobility concerns.The owners were responsive and easy to work with. While we'd likely explore a few other options before booking this home again, we certainly wouldn't rule it out.

The property was lovely and clean . It was right on the beach which made waking up in the morning a pleasure to sit on the veranda drinking coffee .The house had everything anyone would need. The kitchen had all the amities needed to cook and also to drink .My husband and I have rented houses in Galveston two to three times a year for the past 20 years.i have to say this one ranks on top of our list we will rent it again.The host was so nice and responded to us immediately with questions .

Property needs TLC, mostly inside, but outside as well. Pictures do not tell the story here, missing the finer details. Great place on the beach, but there is a month of Sundays worth of detail work neede to restore this place to what it once was. The devil is in the details.
