Galveston Beach Bungalow: Steps to the Sand!

Reviews

• Home is not kept up

  1/5

  We arrived to the beach house only to see that it looked abondaned with grass two feet high and a deteriorating golf cart under the deck.

  We did not complain and decide to give it a shot.

  House seemed nice at a glance, but then realized the house was not kept up. Some issues where:

  Front door top deadbolt did not latch.

  Plates had dried food particles on them.

  No dish or dishwasher soap.

  Restroom curtain had mold on it.

  Towels were old and had stains on them.

  Vanity drawers were broken and had hair clippings/shavings.

  Pillows were very old and flat.

  Back deck had grill and chairs that were completely rusted and broken.

  Outdoor shower was full of spider webs and drain was clogged with dirt and outdoor debris.

  Used the washer, and they were ridiculously loud. Best thing to do is leave it washing/drying while you're out. FYI, no detergent provided.

  We booked the place for two nights, and we couldn't bare to stay a second night.

  Followed instructions of cleaning and removing linens, only to find one mattress was full of stains. Not a nice sight.

  Living area did have a very comfortable couch and location is great with only a short walk to the beach, approximately a 5 min walk.

  If house was kept up we would have rate it a 5 star stay.

  Hope this review helps.

• Nice Spot

  4/5

  Enjoyed how close to the beach the house was. The house was nice and clean on the inside. Only complaint was the grass was extremely tall making it hard for us to walk up to. Also, our trash bin had not been cleaned out seems for awhile. When i opened the bin it was full and full of flies. Other than those two issues was a very nice stay.

• Needs some TLC

  2/5

  This house is in need of a refresh. It's currently for sale so perhaps the owners don't want to put any money into it. The mattresses and pillow are stained, the second bed is not a queen, but a full. We found an air mattress in the closet, but there were no sheets to put on it.

  The shower head has a leak that dripps pure hot water so you have to dodge it unless you want to get burned.

  The check out process when leaving is one of those annoying, strip the sheets, take out the trash, wash, dry and put away all the dishes (the sponge they leave you to do that with is moldy) AND we're going to charge you a cleaning fee. The outside hasn't been mowed in some time, so you have walk in through a jungle of grass and thick mosquitoes.

  I stayed here because I was considering buying the house, but we won't be making an offer.

  The house was very clean, cute, and had everything you needed! Very close to the beach, which made for a short walk. Beach was very nice and clean as well. On the day we checked out, getting ready to leave, my car would not start. We were out in the heat, waiting on AAA to come, we called owner, and Jake was kind enough to let us go back in to cool off, which I thought was very nice!!! I would totally come back to stay again!!!

  Definitely a short walk to the beach. Enjoyed our stay overall. The house needs new towels and new mattresses as all were stained.
