Quiet days in Galveston

This property is pretty much exactly as described. Very quiet neighborhood, basic house setup, pool!, and not a long walk to the beach. We would stay again next time we come to Galveston.

stay was fine except for the rain, most of the dishes were filthy. There were mouse droppings in the window seals where the children could reach. When reaching out to the management I was told someone would come to clean this up but no one showed up. Mouse droppings by the window seal next couch, there is no way the mice were not on the couch. Very disappointing.

Ehh

The blinds were broken in the back left room. The property expects you to be okay w two towels per bed, which is fine if you don’t have too many people, but there aren’t any beach towels even though there’s a pool. When I asked if we could have more towels they seemed inconvenienced then asked how manyThe handle on the back shower is broken, and the shower is so little and water gets all over the floor and there’s no bath mat or anything on the floor so that takes from one of the towels provided on the bed. There’s no fence so if you have kids you have to make sure to show them where line is. We had the football go in a back yard of a neighbors yard and she came out yelling at the kids and laughed when her dog got a hold of it until my boyfriend went outside. Then another neighbor came over to ask if we could keep the kids out of their yard after the ball accidentally rolled into their yard. Oh and this was only the first night after 1.5 hours of them playing. When I asked if we could be switched to another listing because we didn’t feel comfortable being there, they said they’ve had many families stay there and that we were welcome there. We wanted to night swim before the quiet time started and there’s no deck lights. There’s no way to dry towels, we had to hang them on the little dressers. The drying rack for the dishes was in the bathroom, which is gross. And there were pans that were used and just put in the cabinets. The food outlines were still on the pan.

Good location but not clean

Septic smell on the property physically see sewage/grey water bubbling on the ground.Shower handle is not attached.Top step on the pool ladder is broken.Coffee pot looks as though it’s never been cleaned. Moldy and could not use. Floors dirty left feet and socks dirty. Vacuum was full not cleaned out.Half a bag of fruity cereal in a kitchen drawer. Decorative wall clocks don’t work, one with no hands. No pantry space - only shelving area adjacent to kitchen is inside a bathroom. No bathtub only stand up showers. No dishwasher.No space to hang clothes. I informed the property manager of all issues. Good location close to the beach. Pool was clean. Plenty of dishes and silverware for a large family. Loved the porch swings. Wheelchair accessible. Didn’t use the fire pit.

14 in on house...Crazy

We like to have our semi-annual Thanksgiving trips and it is often difficult to find a place that will accommodate 6 adults and 8 children plus 2 pets. This house didn't just a accommodate us but we had a great time. We hit a snafu on the first day with the refigerator/freezer that quit working but the maintenance people were out of sight and installed a new one that very day in a short amount of time. We could have lost all our food but we didn't lose any of it. From the management to the staff, these people are great.

Not what I expected

This property was very filthy when we arrived nothing was clean! All of the rooms had the bedding messed up and all the used towels were piled in the bathroom counter. One of the beds was broken down the center. The property was obviously not cleaned by anyone. The communication between the property management was pretty good. They did finally move us to a slightly better property but not till we lost a couple of hours….very disappointed by this property!

False advertising

When you read your description, it says that there is a playground which there was not it also says there was a washer and dryer there was not. I had to go to a laundromat and I had 14 people with me which was very inconvenient. I also felt like there was not enough towels or, there definitely would not have been enough cooking utensils I’m so glad I already brought my own and when we got there, you could see that the floors had not been mopped or anything. The baseboards were still very very dirty. Had lots of dust everywhere and other than that, it was a OK stay but a bathroom being in the middle of the kitchen was also very hard to deal with with a large group .

Nice property and great communication!

Very nice property located just a bit further South on Galveston Island. Not too far from beach access points and away from the busy areas. The property had everything we needed and was clean with everything working as expected. Extra bonus is it had a ramp rather than stairs that made it easier getting our stuff up to the property. The communication was fantastic and made us feel very welcome. All details were provided and even put together an online packet of information that was very helpful. We enjoyed our quick getaway stay and will seek out this owner for more rentals!
