The house was perfect for our families with kids. So much to do with it being on the canal, having a pool, and arcade games. Beach access is super close. All the kitchen necessities are provided and plenty of them. We had 7 adults and 6 kids and we had more than enough room for everyone.
Great place to fish, swim and the beach was great!

Outside pool and water views were excellent. Inside was needing repairs, had several window air conditioners with very dirty filters instead of HVAC, had to go outside to access lower level, and we swept up bugs inside and out constantly. The lower level smelled like sewer, and we determined that the mowers had covered the venting system with heavy grass due to mowing right after a rain. We cleared it away, and the issue improved. Overall we had a memorable stay and enjoyed Galveston history and the warm Gulf waters and views. It was challenging accessing the VRBO site, however Beach Box representatives were very helpful and accommodating.
Our overall stay was wonderful. The communication with the property owner was spectacular! We had two littles (1.5 & 3) that loved having a pool to swim. My husband, brother & dad enjoyed crabbing and fishing from the boat dock all hours.
We really enjoyed our stay! This place was perfect for all 12 of us. The pool was a huge hit! The kids loved swimming and did it most of the time. We loved being able to fish off the boat dock. Most of all we loved the top deck, sitting outside at night watching the fish go to the green light in the water acrtogether watching the fish go to the green light
There is literally nothing you will have to worry about on your stay here. The home is fully equipped with all of your basic needs. You just need to pack your clothes, along with our bathing suits, food and drinks.
Great time with family but some disappointments with space
There were roaches in pantry and cabinets (we bought spray to kill), the down stairs area smelled like mold and in fact we saw several “damp rid” units in there. The shower downstairs, had mold/mildew and had not been cleaned very well. The outdoor shower didn’t work at all. Appeared handle was missing.
Pool was a perfect fit for kids. They loved the game room too. Having 2 living areas was great. Used the washer and dryer also. Very quiet neighborhood.
The property was a great place for a large group. There was always something to do for adults and kids, we stayed busy from fishing, to the pool and ending the night with s’mores. There were a few small things that could have been fixed but all and all a really great place to stay! And the property was clean. Just a note for those who like boating and fishing. If you are planning on bringing a boat, access to the property can be tricky so be sure to check when the tides are going out. Also the property’s pier lights are disconnected along with the boat lift. We made it all work but It was a definitely learn as you go while navigating coming in from the bay. We able to catch a variety of fish from the pier and this made the kids happy!
First time ever to rent anything other than a hotel and enjoyed it! Rented a weekend getaway for the family and couldn't have had a better time. Very peaceful place to get some much needed R&R. Definitely looking forward to our next getaway....
This home is a nice home, the only thing I would have to say is the pictures online should be updated since the floor upstairs is coming up, like the individual panel, which could be a fall risk since my sandal got caught in between the two lifting panels and I almost fell. Also would NOT recommend the house if you have small children, toddlers, since the railing on the top deck is not safe due to not having any panels on the bottom so small child could easy fall through. House was very roomy and has everything you need.
Russell was great!! Communication was amazing! There were a few spots that appeared to not be too clean, but nothing we couldn’t pick up ourselves! Pool was beautiful!
Fun house, lots of hangout space for the family! Game room downstairs with Bathroom and kitchen, very handy for hanging out and fishing. Upstairs screened in porch with access to upstairs outdoor deck. Also a fire pit downstairs! Great spaces! Bring shampoo and soap !
The orginal house we booked has an issue arise so we were placed in this house. Even though there was some construction going on in the back yard and the pool was not up and running. The house accommodated our big family perfectly. We could not see the ocean from the house but could hear it. Its was a great stay for our 5 day stay! Look forward to our next trip Galveston.
This is a wonderful home with a beautiful pool. The downstairs game room and sleeping area were perfect for the kids in our family. The house has the best of both worlds with beautiful views of the bay and close location to the beach. The cleanliness was a bit of a concern. The pots and pans had burnt food that had to be scrubbed, dirty pan on balcony that looks like it was left to soak that had a roach in it, trash left under the sink and out on the balcony, hair in the shower drain,etc. We also had to run to the store many times because things we expected to be there were not…salt, pepper, coffee filters, cookie sheet, pot holders, hand towels, etc. All the remotes except one didn’t have batteries. We communicated the concerns with the owner and he responded immediately.

Bed bugs, bleeding, itchy rashes
My family was excited for our stay at Galveston but everything that could have gone wrong went wrong. First off, the property does not match the pictures listed online. Right when we walked in we were hit with a pungent sewer smell, it followed you everywhere form the driveway to inside the house. But we tried to stay positive and just ignore it and enjoy our vacation. Then multiple people were bleeding from stepping on cracks and splinters from the floor board. Even after sweeping Ang mopping the house we still discovered pieces of broken glass and wood. Then my mother got rashes all over her body from laying on the sofa and bed. At this point, we were packing our bags and whoever could fit in the van just slept outside because everybody was beyond disgusted and getting itchy rashes. Not to mention, we were traveling with an infant and didn’t even want to bring him anywhere near the bed or sofa.I typically don’t write reviews but the owners definitely need to fix these issues before letting other people stay here, this was beyond terrible and ruined our trip.
