Love this house!

I love this house tremendously. It is now my go-to Galveston Beach home. It is so close to the beach which is so convenient plus close to the Strand and Gaido's! Not too far from the Pleasure Pier either. The rooms are roomy and there is plenty of room. I brought my daughter and 3 of her friends and they mostly hung out in the game room which is separated from the house and you don't hear a thing! The master bedroom is glorious and the bed is so comfortable. Plenty of room! The kitchen is equipped with everything you need plus a Keurig. The property owners are amazing and went out of their way to contact me to make sure my stay was going well. Its truly my favorite place to stay in Galveston.

No pets!

The house is cute.. but more green than blue. So first, I spent the week before we left trying to determine if we even had a place to stay, which is unacceptable. I made a reservation almost 30 days ahead and then the owners decided not to be pet friendly anymore. No indication to me, just the fact I noticed when my welcoming email arrived a few days before we were to leave. Their house, their rules… but you do NOT change the rules AFTER someone reserves, and stress them out. Lots of little roaches, broken coffee machine, and the second bath has a major backup so doesn’t drain. Front door lock is inconsistent and none of the remotes for tvs have volume control, really? I wanted to love it here, and maybe it was the several days of stress pre trip, never again

Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback and for giving the home a try. We are very sorry for the stress and inconvenience you experienced, especially regarding the pet policy change and the maintenance and cleanliness issues you described. This is not the experience we want for our guests, and we will be reviewing our communication processes and addressing the roaches, bathroom drainage, coffee machine, door lock, and TV remotes with our local team. Your comments are very helpful in showing us where we need to improve. We appreciate you taking the time to let us know.
