No Hot Water - Disappointed with Quality of Home

We were not satisfied with our stay here. Pictures in the listing are misleading and must have been taken a while ago. Primary complaints include: NO HOT WATER in the upstairs bathrooms, constant slow drip in laundry room, ants on kitchen counter, dirty cupboards and kitchenware (mold and bugs), non-working electrical outlets, doors off the hinges, loose floor tiles, no broom or vacuum, no beach towels, and not enough bath towels/washcloths. The host, Chris, was responsive in getting us more towels and a broom, but he did not address any of the main issues with the house, including the no hot water. Instead, he offered to buy us a pizza. We asked for a refund but he denied there were any issues before we arrived, even when we sent photos of the problems. This property was not worth the money we paid. We have stayed in other beach front properties in this area that were much cleaner and better stocked. The welcome gift on the counter was a nice enough gesture, but they were all expired snacks by 4 to 10 months. We were not allowed to use the shutters on the window. The trash cans outside were full when we arrived and no one came to move or empty them like the instructions said. The sand toys downstairs were in disarray when we arrived, and there was still trash left from the guests before. Would only recommend this house if the primary issues were fixed or rented at a much lower cost. Overall very disappointing.

Great Family Venue

Living room and deck are both amazing. Plenty of room for everyone to get together. Beds were very comfortable. Only complaint was there wasn’t an ice maker, but there were 2 refrigerators so we had plenty of room to chill all of the drinks and store ice. Would recommend.

Perfect family Beach HOUSE

The property was perfectly located , well maintained and very spacious .The beach was barely 50 yards from back porch, non vehicle access and very private .Home provisions were plentiful and house was very clean .However the best part was our host Chris .He was timely in responses and very pleasant to deal with. I recommend this house for many reasons but location on Indian Beach was near enough to Galveston for everything and private /exclusive enough to enjoy the private wave therapy .Kudos Chris.

Very excellent Beach Getaway

Communication with the owners and property management were fast and very responsive any time we needed anything. We will definitely rent this property again.

Amazing beach house!

We traveled to Galveston for dance nationals. Our group was 5 adults, 4 teenagers ages 14-18 and a 10 year old. We walked in the house and were blown away by how gorgeous the house is and the amazing open living/dining space. Walking out on the back patio we were thrilled by the amazing ocean. The beach is steps away down the private walkway. The kitchen is fully equipped just like home. We cooked most of our meals at the house and were never without a utensil, or pot or pan. Each bedroom was comfortable and met all of our needs. I cannot say enough good things about this house. This house has everything you would need for a great vacation! I will book this house again if we come to Galveston. Also a small grocery store near by pretty well stocked for those last minute needs! Love love loved our stay!

Ideal Family Memorial Day Beach Weekend

Spent a long Memorial Day 2022 in this spacious and beautiful home right on the Galveston beach. Our family of eight were able to spread out and enjoy the ocean beauty. We could walk right out to the beach every day after having coffee on the massive balcony patio with a nice bench swing. We have rented numerous properties in Galveston and this one by far the best experience we have had. Highly recommended.

PHOTOS DON'T REPRESENT POOR CONDITION OF PROPERTY

The photos on VRBO are a total misrepresentation of the inside of the house. The common areas are very worn out. Bugs (live and dead) in kitchen drawers. Carpets and area rugs are in poor condition and in need of a thorough cleaning and furniture needs replacement. The kitchen had swarms of gnats and a terrible smell coming from the under sink cabinet. I messaged the owner Chris M. through the Vrbo app. His response was to offer to buy us pizza one night, but not to address the bugs. The property was not worth the cost.
