Walk to Beach: Cozy Unit in Galveston!

Reviews

• 3/5

  Overall the unit was clean, however there were a lot of pieces of furniture that were broken. The entertainment center had a drawer where the face was detached, every drawer and cabinet door on the vanity in the bathroom is either broken or won't stay closed, and the couch is held up by 2x4s along with being incredibly stained. The rug in the living room several times pricked the feet of me or my children. The home was also very difficult to see when trying to locate it at night, and there weren't clear markings telling you which units were where on the property. Some signage and additional outside lighting would have helped a lot. We didn't pay a lot which is why I didn't reach out to the property manager about any of these things, the unit was otherwise as advertised. A bit of a disappointment but to be honest we weren't in it to do anything but sleep so if that's why you're planning to use it it will work for that!

  So let's start with the positives. The property is close to seawall boulevard and all it had to offer. I felt safe with my kids in the neighborhood. The window AC units all worked well and kept our place cool even using the stove and oven. The TV worked and the beds were clean (ish) and comfortable. For a 3 night stay my family and I managed. Now, onto the negative. Upon entering the unit, we were greeted with an extremly musty/mildew smell. The shower didnt work. The water pressure was so low it took ages to try to fill the tub that we had to plug with a wash cloth because there wasnt a drain plug. This was not ideal on a beach vacation. When I contacted the host, she said she would send a plumber. I checked back a few times. After the first plumber "fell through" she made no attempts at trying to fix the issue or make it right in anyway. The water did get hot so we made due. There were stickers in the main rug and sand under the rug. No broom to make attempts to clean up the previously left sand or any of our own mess. Also found a sticker on our comforter. The parking was confusing. There we 3 cars parked up the walkway our whole second day, we just used the street. Enough flatware for 4 total people but no spatula, no toaster. Just seemed like some basic things missing (i should have looked at the amenities). The couch had visible stains and the table to eat at was pretty wobbly. It was affordable, that's for sure, but you are going to make sacrifices.

  Very small apt, but location is excellent.

  I felt very welcome coming into the home and I have no complaints other than the bathroom did have a bad smell. Smelled like a sewer at times when you went in the bathroom, coming up from the drains or something. The AC was a plus, especially coming in from the heat from outside!
