Every thing was good. The door knobs and doors need to be replaced. There is a spot on the dock that needs to be repaired. I think there is a board that has broken underneath and that could be an issue. The master bathroom electricity wasn’t working. We called for two days and I emailed. We didn’t get a response until Tuesday. So we were not happy about that.

Thank you for sharing this detailed feedback. We are glad you enjoyed your stay overall, and we are very sorry for the maintenance issues and the delay in responding to you. Your comments about the doors, dock, and master bathroom electricity are very important, and we have passed them to our maintenance team for prompt inspection and repair. We understand how frustrating this was and will work to improve our response time so this does not happen again.
The house fit our family needs perfectly. Very roomy and never felt like we were on top of each other. The view is great and sunsets are breathtaking. The pool was a big hit with everyone. Amazing time with faming making memories.

This property met our wants for a canal house with a private pool. The general cleanliness--the bathrooms, kitchen, linens were all good. The outside of the house needs some maintenance. This property is new to Ryson and I am sure that they will maintain it. We have rented with Ryson before and have always been satisfied with them. This house had a key box, so check in and check out was easy.

As a new property, we are committed to ensuring the best possible experience for all our guests. Your continued trust in Ryson is greatly valued.
House was not at all like pictured. All of the door handles were broken and half of the doors barely closed. When we first got there and were walking up the stairs the handrail fell on top of my cousins ankle.

We apologize for the issues you experienced. We strive for accuracy in our listings and are sorry for any inconvenience. We'll review your concerns and work to improve. Your feedback is valuable. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
Loved this place. 100% as advertised. Fishing was amazing and the kids had plenty of room to play. Nice quiet neighborhood with very nice people. Had one little issue with a breaker and they had someone out there in 20 minutes on a holiday weekend. Will continue to stay here
This place was great. From the views, to the fishing, to the relaxing patio to the fun pool, my whole family thoroughly enjoyed our long-weekend getaway. Truly paradise.

Thank you so much for your fantastic review. We are glad you enjoyed your time at Luna Mar. The house is so close to the bay, that the views are truly amazing. Please keep us in mind when planning your next stay in Galveston.
We have rented this home a couple of times now. We always have a great time there fishing. The home does need some work done to it to fix it up. The washer and dryer did not work this time around. Other than that it is a great place to stay with your family and friends. Plenty of room for the whole family to fish and is in a great location for fishing. We will be staying there again.
The house had plenty of space for several adults. The large deck was perfect for group meals and morning coffee. The private pool was more of an asset than I anticipated. Fishing was very good in this location.

Thank you for the 5-star rating! We would love for you to stay with us again, please check out our pet friendly homes!
Had a great time with the family swimming, fishing, and playing board games. We caught catfish, an eel, blue crab, drum fish, and saw sting rays swimming close to the mouth of the bay. The amount and selection of board games was awesome!

We are so pleased to hear your family had such a great time together at Luna Mar.
We look forward to your return visit!
We enjoyed Luna Mar! The property was lovely and the amenities were as stated. Be aware the "6th" bedroom is really just a small area with a set of bunk beds but we made it work. The pool was clean and the neighbors were friendly.
We would book again!

Thank you for your review of Luna Mar. We are glad to hear you enjoyed your stay & we look forward to you returning!
This was perfect for our family! The kids loved fishing and they even went swimming even though it was very chilly. Perfect vacation. Only complaint is that there was a den of roaches under the dishwasher that would come out a lot. Definitely recommend!
Lina Mar was nice. Wonderful breeze and a pretty view.
The house was spacious and had plenty of room for family members to have their own areas.
We wish the fishing lights would have been operational, but overall we would definitely come back.

Hi Diana! We're happy that you enjoyed Luna Mar! The fishing lights are fully operational now, so you can fully enjoy the home. We hope to see you back!
The location of Luna Mar was beautiful, can’t beat the view. The property while decorated very nice, is in bad need of updating. The deck was literally falling apart the patio furniture also. No decent frying pans or knives. Flooring in kitchen and living room needs replacing!! Very nice pool, however the last full day we were there, I was cussed out by the pool guy, he told me to go F myself when I asked him if he could come back the next day so the kids could swim before 8:00pm. Very very rude way to speak to a grandmother!!!! I would stay here again but I would definitely bring my own pans and knives!!!

We will review your comments and work to address these concerns to improve the guest experience. We hope you will consider staying with us again in the future.
We all had such great fun! Everything we needed was there. It had something for everyone; quiet space to read or work, games for the rainy periods, pool, quick beach access and plenty of fishing space. Bait and Ice were a quick few blocks away and the area was quiet. The underwater lights weren't working this time, but the top light was good for evening fishing. Everyone had a great time and we plan to return.

Glad you enjoyed your stay at Luna Mar! Thank you for the wonderful review!
The house itself was a nice place. Could use some updating but overall a cute place. I wish the house would have had a few more things. There were plenty of kitchen utensils. Two trash bags for 11 people for 4 days didn’t seem like enough. It would have been nice if they had some basic cooking spices. The pool was great! Overall, I would stay here again
