Hi Leticia, thank you for your kind review! We’re so happy to hear you had a lovely weekend and enjoyed the cleanliness of the property and the wonderful view. It means a lot to know you truly enjoyed your stay, and we look forward to welcoming you back again soon!
The house and location were fabulous. The views, backyard, and home were beautiful and clean. Property managers were very quick to respond and assist. Quickly fixed a fan and attempted to assist with hot tub, but the hot tub never got warm during our stay but it was a cool weekend for Galveston.

Hello Christal, thank you for your thoughtful review! We’re delighted to hear that you loved the house, location, views, and backyard, and that everything was clean and comfortable. We also appreciate your kind words about our property management team and their quick response. We apologize that the hot tub didn’t reach temperature during your stay, especially with the cooler weather, and appreciate your understanding. We’d love the opportunity to welcome you back and provide an even better experience next time!
We arrived to our stay on a holiday weekend and the house thermostat was set at 84, the pool was green and filled with algae and there was no high chair as indicated in their description. We began trying to contact them and they gave us every excuse under the sun on getting the pool cleaned. After several calls to the real estate company who insisted the earliest they could have the cleaning company out was 2-5 PM the following day, we were told that the pool cleaning takes place every Friday so that’s why the pool looked the way it did since we arrived on a Thursday. I informed them that there was also no high chair and they discovered then that the previous house inspection did not show a high chair on site. When the pool cleaning company showed up the following morning, we were told we’d be clear to swim at noon. While swimming, the yard guys showed up and we had to ask them to leave because they were blowing debris into the pool. There was some sort of poison ivy growing from under the deck as well. While the remainder of our stay was uneventful, we did ask for some reimbursement for our inability to use the pool upon arrival. After almost a week of back and forth communication, they offered a very small refund in comparison to what we paid to stay here. We also left behind a Dopp kit and we still cannot get them to ship it us and are continuously having to follow up. The management of this location is very poor and not customer service focused.

The location of the property was close to the beach, the ferry and The Strand. The house was clean and there was plenty of room for the number of people we had. Washer and dryer in the house and laundry soap was provided. We were given the wrong key code to the lockbox. The host had a phone number with a full mailbox and a number that wasn’t answered. The VRBO rep was no help. My daughter finally got in touch with Stay Porter Texas and she was extremely helpful! Apologetic for the hiccup, gave us correct code and stayed on the phone to make sure we got in. There are 5 rooms. 3 of those rooms have only bunk beds. The master has a king bed and I believe the fifth room has a king bed. The room off the kitchen has its own bathroom. Seems like that room could be a mini master bedroom with the bunkbeds removed and replaced with a queen size bed.I understand they are looking to sleep as many people as possible but, when renting a home instead of a hotel room, I believe renters are looking for convenience and privacy. We had 5 children in our group and they all fit in one room of bunkbeds. Two sets of parents were stuck in bunkbeds. Even the parents in the room with its own bathroom. Ceiling fans in master and room off the kitchen didn’t not work. Toilet seat in room off kitchen was loose. Dishwasher had dirty water standing in it and didn’t work. Landscaping was out of control and the Mosquitoes were loving that! The views were great. Home needs work.
