Perfect location for pre-cruise stay! Walk to the port!

My family of 4, plus 2 in-laws stayed at this apartment pre-cruise. Location is excellent! Many restaurants within walking distance. We ate just around the corner at Taquilos (delicious and happy hour all day!) Decor and furnishings were nice and modern. Great communication with the host. Best thing is that we WALKED 0.9 miles to the port. So easy. Only downfall of this place is no elevator so we had to carry all of our luggage up to the 3rd floor, but we are all able to do that, so no biggie. We'd stay here again! Easy check-in with key box. Highly recommend for pre-cruise!modern.

Family getaway.

Neat property. Overall, was pretty impressed. Apt 303 did not have working washer/dryer unit. Which would not have been a big deal but I had started a load which resulted in a load of wet clothes that I am having to wash at home when we get there. It also said it was a non-smoking building and it was very clear someone was smoking in the building when we returned from dinner (which is not something they would know about right away but was strong smell). Overall, we would stay again if given the opportunity, it was the right size for our family.

So much potential, but never again

The location and character of the unit were great. Everything else was a miss. Both showers had black mold, washing machine was not functional and had been full of water for clearly quite some time as it smelled absolutely foul. There was no soap (bar or otherwise) in the bathrooms to even wash your hands. The freezer was full of rust so we didn’t even want to use it or the ice. Clearly the management company doesn’t care about guests or cleanliness, which is disappointing because the character and location of this unit have so much potential. Would not recommend a Beach Box property to others given their lack of attention to cleanliness or ensuring basic amenities that were described in the listing.

Great location near The Strand

Great location and plenty of room for six adults and two children (could also fit eight adults). Walking distance to The Strand and a small drive to the beach or even walkable if you’re up to it. LOVED the old quaint style of the home. Parking is limited on the street but we only had to pay for parking in a lot one night. Non working elevator so keep that in mind. We definitely had a great time and would stay again :)

Convenient but loud

Booked this for our family before taking a cruise. Enjoyed the convenience near the strand, spacious and plenty of room for 8. The only negative is, it is very loud on the streets below even though it’s several blocks from the strand. The walls must be paper thin because we could hear everything till 4am. None of the adults got any sleep. Other than that, great place if noise doesn’t bother you.

Adorable little apartment that makes you feel like you’re a part of Galveston. Walking distance to lots of places. No elevator and paid parking fyi but it didn’t bother us! There’s an app for parking outside the location and it doesn’t cost much and give you a reminder before it expires.

Almosr 5 star

We were disappointed that there was no mention of third floor accommodation with NO elevator. It was difficult for five elderly ladies to go up the stairs upon arrival and down upon departure with our luggage. However, Beach Box Rentals office personnel were wonderful and even arranged for a person to assist us. It was not as easy to communicate through VRBO as it was with Beach Box.
