Very good

The property does need some work. The floors were uneven and there was a pile of renovation debris with nails/screws sticking up next to car port. The house was clean, the host was available and responded quickly to text messages and the proximity to the beach was great. Only stayed 2 nights, so with the added fees it was a bit pricey. We did enjoy our stay.

I saw that debris after you left someone must’ve have thought it was ok to dumb it next to my house 🙄. It’s been removed Peggy. Sorry about that
We came to stay here a second time for an anniversary trip with some close friends and our fur babies. Such a perfect location with great beach access only a few steps away. The host is so welcoming and friendly and chill, I felt very safe and comfortable here both times I have stayed. Anytime I come to Galveston in the future for any reason, this is the house I will rent!

None of the inside doors actually locked and shut without some elbow grease. One of the bathroom doors did not shut at all, so we had to move a table in front of the door to hold it closed. Other than this, it is a cute little house and we enjoyed our stay
My family really enjoyed our stay at the property! It was nice and close for us to walk down to the beach every day and big enough to accommodate all nine of us comfortably!
Our family and I enjoy our time in this peaceful and great location beach house.

Pros: Proximity to the beach, well stocked kitchen, can sleep up to 8 people, comfortable beds, nice upper deckCons: No closets, just over door hangers, 1 clothes storage in 1 bedroom only, no beach equipment, lower deck rotted unusable with no outdoor furniture, door entry keypad doesn't work well to lock & unlock door, have to key code in numerous times before it finally works, no washer/dryer, flooring in hallway is coming up
Loved this house and our time there. The house was perfect for our two families. Loved the deck and outdoor shower. Had a great time and would stay again
We had a great stay in Galveston! The house was clean upon arrival and was super comfortable for our party of 7. The house had everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable. The beds were cozy, we had plenty of hot water, and the a/c worked great! Proximity to the beach was excellent as well!

The only positive thing about this house is the location. Unfortunately the rest was not so good! The house is rundown… it shakes, it lopsided, water damage is seen throughout the house. With the huge front door gap I’m not sure why you need the door at all. Bunch of ants came through that door and decided to share the weekend with us! Had to find the spray and take care of them! Honestly I was a bit embraced in front of my family that I booked the house like that but the house looked very good on the pictures. On the positive side the size of the house is very nice, spacious bathrooms and bedrooms. Location is perfect as well! It just needs sooooo much work before anyone can stay there without any concerns.

The house will be completely updated by next week with new ceiling, cabinets and countertops. The ants were coming in from the rain and nothing anyone can do about ants except kill them one we see them. Never has that happened but it was fixed right away.
everything was clean and everything that the description
said was there there where out door games the beach was really close and it was an all around fun home to stay in we would definitely return
The property is in an absolute perfect location if you want to enjoy a private beach away from the crowds. It was very clean and exactly what was presented online. I plan on renting it again in the future.
The house was well kept and clean, there were a variety of appliances in the kitchen available to use, all in working order and well maintained. Sean was quick to respond to questions and gave clear answers. Overall we had a great time!
The property was clean and ready for us. The proprietor was quick to respond to my questions. Property had a nice fenced in area that was common to the deck so we could let the dog out without worrying about him getting free. Easy 5 minute walk to the beach!
Very comfortable beds, well stocked towels and kitchen, very clean, quiet neighborhoodWe did not need it, but there is no laundry equipment as listed...fyiWe would definitely stay here again!
