This was a cute home! We did not have any issues parking two cars on the street in front. The pool and outdoor area was nice, and the kids loved the huge upstairs room. Unfortunately the washing machine was full of mold so we could not use it, and when it rained outside lots of water leaked in. This was at the end of our stay so it didn’t impact us being there and we did notify management.

We loved the house, very roomy and distinct. We are frequent renters and this house was perfect and unique. The kids.loved the swimming pool. One concern was that.pool was not serviced even once during our 5 day stay.

Overall, this property was great and exactly as expected based on prior feedback!The Pros:Location: Great spot that is easily walkable to the beach—only about a 10-minute walk.Parking: in front of house with absolutely no issues. AC: Works perfectly and kept both the upstairs and downstairs nice and cool.Things to Know:Check-In: Property management is completely unresponsive to early requests. We only wanted to drop our bags off 30 minutes early(the cleaners were done ) so we could take the top off our Jeep, door code strictly activates at exactly 4:00 PM.Water Temperature: Prior reviews about the water fluctuation were accurate. It runs either very hot or cool, though thankfully the cold side isn't totally freezing.Beds & Linens: One of the beds is incredibly firm—like sleeping on plywood—and the blankets provided are very thin.Supplies: Expect exactly 1 towel and 1 washcloth per person, and no kitchen basics like salt or pepper. The host did mention ahead of time that supplies are not provided, so just be sure to pack your own! Backyard is nice - the pool was very warm. It’s maybe 4 feet deep. 1 lounge chair but plenty upright chairs .

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.
