Response from VrboOwner on 28 May 2026
I informed you on booking that this was the notorious JEEP WEEKEND. Extra patrol is always brought in for safekeeping. You said you knew it was jeep weekend but couldn’t change your wedding date. I don’t know how I harassed you as I never met you. You may be referring to the fact that you wanted to have a bachelor party at the rental. It is explicitly stated in the rental agreement and on the webpage that parties are not allowed and the guest count is 6 max. I surmise the many times you unsuccessfully emailed and called trying to persuade me to allow a party was harassment. I advise you to read booking details prior to renting next time.

The house is clean, the the host is local, friendly and helpful if you need anything. The kitchen seems to be well equipped, but besides breakfast, we mostly ate out. Check-in is easy, check-out requires leaving the house the way you found it. An all-around easy stay.

About the host

Hosted by Peggy Dodson McDonald

Host profile image
My husband, Johnie, and I are retired educators. Crystal Beach was our “home away from home” for many years. We have been in the rental business since 2006 and have lived here permanently since 2011. Peggy Dodson McDonald

Why they chose this property

While Galveston is just a free ferry ride away, we like the peace and quiet of Crystal Beach. Peggy Macs is located in the preferred, quiet, family friendly subdivision called Sandy Shores, yet centrally located. We enjoy watching beautiful sunrises and sunsets from the deck and stargazing at night. And of course, the beaches are fantastic.

What makes this property unique

Location, location, location!! Our cabin is just a short walk to the beach and close to anything and everything you may need, whether it's the gocery store, the shops and restaurants, the marina, or the water slide. It's all right there!!! And in the preferred Sandy Shores subdivision! WIFI available.
