House was not clean or ready when we arrived—dirt, hair, and buildup throughout. We had to buy supplies and clean it ourselves just to make it livable.Reported it immediately and documented everything. No alternative was offered. They refunded the cleaning fee, but that doesn’t come close to covering the condition or our time.We left it in better shape than we found it. This property was not ready to be rented.

We were terribly disappointed by the townhouse and the condition it was in. Outdated, electrical wiring visible, the mattress in the main bedroom was mostly mattress topper. Going on, the floor was sticky and dirty and the decorations had a layer of dust. We did not use the stove but prior damage was evident on the dryway from hot pans. No ice maker, but there were trays for ice in the freezer. The glasses had a white haze, from the hard water or a faulty dishwasher. We washed them before using. The view was really nice and it was just 2nd row from the water. It's a shame that the rental income is not reinvested in this property. Will not stay again.

Good experience
Location was perfect to head to the beach. Quiet and calm beach. Many frogs, toads, rabbits around the condo, and many small crabs to find in the ocean. Wagon was a treat to be able to bring to the beach.

Good Stay
The condo is close to the beach with an easy walk. The furniture and beds are comfy and clean. The beach toys, wagon, canopy, and chairs were all in good shape. The grill was rusty and could not be used.

Great stay in a quiet location
The beach facing two decks are a game changer for those who wish to stay out of the direct sunlight. Cozy and charming decorating assure you will enjoy your stay. Easy access and secure environment just steps away from two beach access points near friendly residents. Lots to see and do in near by Galveston, this location will provide the peaceful, relaxing retreat you are looking for.
Enjoyed the stay, the walk to the beach is perfect, the house was clean & comfortable. Only downfall is that the tv in the kids room (2 bunkbed room) did not work. It's only a DVD in the tv and it wouldn't even play.

Great place-ONLY negative: second bedroom is very small. Would be fine for children but beds and room too small for adults. Great view, kitchen/living room was very comfortable. Perfect for family.

Great House !
Loved the house. Great view of the ocean, very easy walk to the secluded (almost private) beach. Really enjoyed the house and our stay. Only negative was a lot of mosquitoes in the grassy area around the building, but this is obviously not controlled by the homeowner (and may have been a temporary situation caused by the recent Alberto storm?).

Relaxing getaway
Beach was private so very few people were on the beach when we were. Beautiful home and decor. Very homey. Plenty of essentials were there already.
