Great BeachBox Vacation Home

The property was great. Love the large kitchen and the game room. The only con was the home had a damp smell which can be alleviated by putting some damp-rid in the rooms. Other than that, a great place to vacation.

Truly a Gem! Massive home with room for all of us!

We had an absolute blast here!! There was more than enough room for my entire family and then some to spare. The kids had a ball in the game room. The pool table, dartboard and big screen TV kept everyone entertained when we weren't fishing. We will be back!

Comfortable

Great property. Great location. Excellent home. We were a total of 23 men getting together from our church to go deep sea fishing. This home did not disappoint. It was so spacious I only saw some of our group a few times and didn’t see them again until the next day. Very nice we would definitely stay here again!

Fantastic Stay with a Few Minor Setbacks

We had a fantastic stay in Galveston! The location was perfect, close to everything we needed, and the fishing in the area was great. The accommodations were comfortable and set us up for an enjoyable trip overall. However, there were a couple of drawbacks. Unfortunately, the washer and dryer were out of order, which was inconvenient, especially for a longer stay. Also, the water pressure in the showers was very low, which made it tough to enjoy a good shower after a day out on the water. Despite these minor issues, we had an awesome time and would definitely consider returning for another stay!

Amazing Time and Beautiful Home

Stayed with my family for my mom’s 60th birthday. The property had plenty to do and plenty of space. We did have a small issue with WiFi and with spotty service due to the location it made it hard for me to communicate with the property managers to get a quick resolution. They were extremely responsive though and I believe it would’ve been fixed much sooner if cell service was better in the area. We also loved the view and would definitely stay here again!

22 and a pup!

So it was a bday getaway for me and 21 of my closest family members, friends and my four-legged baby. Not sure how it could've been any better! The location was a little far out but worth the drive. The home was spacious with enough room for everyone to spread out. We BBQ'd, had family game nights and even caught a couple of fish. Other than a couple of store runs for forgotten items, there was no need to leave the house. All in all, the weekend was great and we'll probably book this home again!

The house was nice

Just getting back from our vacation. The house was beautiful but we just wished the WiFi would’ve worked and there was extra bedding for people . The location is kinda far from downtown area but it was nice been away from the noise . Trying to figure out the air conditioning for each room was kind hard at first and the downstairs room smells like a older basement. They should leave dehumidifier on 24/7 . Over all we loved the space and the outside in the back too . To chill and just enjoy the night . There’s a lots of beds too

Not clean!

We were disappointed that we had to go a day late because of a commitment that came up! When we got to the property the next day it was a disaster! Towels and dirty Linen's all over the house! Beds not made, and no clean bedding! Pictures from the wall on the beds, and food on the kitchen floor! Cups on the floor in the game room! Completely unacceptable! The stairs leading to the balcony were damaged and dangerous, especially for my 82 year old Mom who discovered it! We called to report the condition and once the housekeepers came we couldn't really enjoy the first day because they were there for approximately 5-6 hours to clean the place up! We had a blast after that, but definitely shouldn't have had a house like tjos! We left a day early to go home!

Clean with plenty of space

Must try for yourself! A few previous reviews almost led me not book this property. I must say that EVERYTHING WAS WONDERFUL, WE HAD A GREAT TIME. Family of 14 adults, 7 children, plenty of space for gathering and privacy. Property was mostly just like the listed description! Super Clean, for my germaphobe standards Beach access literally, 3 minutes away. We enjoyed the marina bar/grill across from the house. Weather was a perfect gift from God!!!! 😍 Drive to the Seawall activities, 20 minutes

Good family house, but not for all adults

We were looking for a home with six bedrooms for a business trip. This turned out to be a little less than desirable. The main seating area was fantastic, but the bedrooms were not good. There were only three main bedrooms in the main part of the house. And then a pass-through room without doors had multiple bunk beds that they said was another bedroom. Then, the other two bedrooms were downstairs, and you had to go outside to get to them. One had multiple bunk beds, and the other "twin" bedroom was a couch. That's it. No bedding. It's just a couch. The bedroom situation was the most disappointing part of the house. Lots of things to do with kids. It was great outside, but the weather was terrible. I'm sure in the summer it would be great spot for families, just not for our business trip as we anticipated.

This property is in very bad condition.

The wood floor is not level throughout the house. There is only 4 bedrooms (1 on second floor, 2 on first floor, 1 on lower floor). They’re not supposed advertised as 5 bedrooms. The game room is very tiny. Community pool is not included with the rental, have to pay $10 a person to get it. There are cockroaches everywhere. The hosting company is very bad. They’re not responsive and not knowledgeable about the property. They left the keys for boat ram and fishing peer inside the house but never send us instructions about it. Vrbo messaging app is horrible, it doesn’t automatically refresh when communicating with the host. Will never rent this place again because the owner doesn’t keep the property in good conditions for vacation rentals.

We had a multi-family vacation and the house set up was great for sleeping accommodations. The house had a big driveway to allow parking and being at the end of a dead end street was nice. Management was quick to respond but we did have some issues with communication. The game room games and pool sticks were broken. There were ants in the downstairs kitchenette. We rented kayaks from the management company that were not delivered on the day we scheduled so have requested refund but have yet to receive the refund. I’m guessing that will take a few days. The house location and massive decks, layout, fishing were great but the property is run down. I suspect the owners have not been there in a while. Overall, everyone had a great time but we would rent elsewhere next time.

The house was beautiful! The layout was perfect. I loved how peaceful it was I wish I could’ve stayed longer! The host was very accommodating and communicative with me. They allowed me to communicate and were understanding. I would definitely book with the host again. As far as cleanliness there were a few big bugs spotted throughout the house but we do understand it’s the location so I don’t hold it against the host/ owner. I will say it wasn’t the host fault, but the trash bins for outside were full so when it came time to throwing away our 2 bags of trash it was already overflowing. I understand trash days are on certain days but upon arrival it was not a pleasant thing to see 3 full trash bins. Other than the trash everything was nice, again the host was Amazing. Definitely recommend especially groups of families and friends.

The house is a bit run down. I suspect the owners haven't been there in awhile. First thing you notice when you pull up is a damaged garage door. Im not saying the whole house was terrible, but we would not rent this house a second time. If owners could sink a little money into it and bring it up to speed, it could be nice! The mattresses are dreadful, its the small things that could change my opinion of this place!

We had a perfect stay with a large family 10 adults and 5 kids all had more than enough room to stretch out, fish in the canal and play in the sand. The property had everything we needed for family meals and communication with the managers were great. Thank you for hosting us and we’d love to return.
