House was very clean (other than the sofas which had pet hair all over them and a little stained/dirty). There were not enough towels for our family. You get 4 total. I had to wash and dry them 2x per day. There was not much seating and no tables on the patio or balcony. It’s not conducive to spending time outside at the house if that is something that is important to you. I didn’t pay attention to the outside seating when booking, so that is on me. There was also a ticking sounding all night in the wall in the bedroom. Something to consider if you are sensitive sleeper. We had to turn on the box fan to drowned out that noise. House looks as advertised.

Thank you for allowing us to host you and for noting the home was very clean and as advertised. We’re glad you enjoyed the property overall! We do want to clarify a few points for future guests. This is a dog-friendly home, and while we work hard to ensure every home is thoroughly cleaned between stays, occasional pet hair can happen. We’re always happy to address anything during a stay if we’re given the opportunity. Regarding towels, the # provided is outlined in the home info prior to booking. We provide high-quality towels based on the home’s occupancy, which in this case accommodates up to 8 guests. We’re a little surprised to hear only four towels were available for your group, as that is not what our counts on your arrival day show. Maybe you missed them? Outdoor seating is also shown in the listing photos and reflects the home’s setup. There are several chairs on the deck, along with a swing at the ground-level dock area. Adding additional furniture on the ground can be challenging in this particular location because of the strong coastal and canal winds. Unfortunately, outdoor chairs have a tendency to take an unexpected swim in the canal! As for the ticking sound, we’re not aware of any mechanical issue or persistent noise in the bedroom. It’s certainly possible it may have been a cricket or another bit of our lively coastal wildlife. We’re glad the box fan helped provide some white noise and a more comfortable night’s sleep! We appreciate your feedback.

Pros: House was well stocked for all your cooking needs, and the welcome basket was great!! Loved the clean bedding and towels. Cons: I should have read better I didn't realize the third bedroom is outside of the house. No ladder outside into the bay if you want to Kayak etc. It was a great stay, and everyone had a great time.

Thank you for your thoughtful review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the welcome basket, fresh linens, and the well-stocked kitchen—it’s always our goal to make guests feel right at home. The third bedroom access is noted in our listing, but we’ll work on making that detail even more clear for future guests. As for the bay ladder, for safety reasons there isn't one because barnacles quickly form and can cause cuts, but we love that you were still able to enjoy kayaking and the water. We’re happy your group had such a great time and hope to host you again!

Great family weekend!

The stay here was very good. Our family really enjoyed this property, especially being able to fish off the back. Sitting on the upper or lower patio areas at night was very relaxing and there is usually a nice breeze blowing in through the cove. The local marina and resturant is awesome and convenient. The food there is great, everyone is friendly. You can get just about anything you need while staying here without having to make the trip into Galveston. Our only complaint about our stay was that the shower heads in both bathrooms spray very hard and dont seem to have an adjustment on them to soften the pressure or to change the spray pattern.That would be my only complaint, and that is minor. I highly recommend this property.

We're so glad you experienced a great family bayside weekend! Thank you for the compliments, tips for future guests, and suggestion. We haven't had any guest mention shower water pressure, but we will have our maintenance team check them out for any adjustment. We hope to host you again!

We really enjoyed our stay at Lil’ Blue. It was a great get away for our family. We wish the king bed had a pillow topper or something a bit softer. After a week, we were ready to get back to our beds at home. The kids had a great time fishing off the dock (even though we didn’t catch anything). But our crab trap we brought trapped plenty!! We also appreciated the plenty of laundry detergent and dishwasher soap!
