Galveston Vacation Rental w/ Deck: Steps to Beach!

Reviews

• Great family house

  5/5

  My husband, 15 yo son, and two babies under two stayed here, and it was great. The kitchen was stocked with non perishables, bathrooms had travel sized toiletries, and there were even beach toys, wagons, and small coolers for the beach. It really made packing easier. There house is about three blocks from the beach, so it’s easy to pack a wagon and walk over. I loved that it was close enough to walk back with my babies for their naps.

• 50th Anniversary of Historical Society Homes Tour

  5/5

  We came to town for the homes tour. The rental met all our needs and was very safe and comfortable. We were disappointed to realize that the 2nd bath is down by the driveway and cannot be accessed without leaving the living area.

  The home had a well stocked kitchen with cookware and serving ware abundant. There was a lot of non perishable pantry items which was great for the 1st mornings coffee time.

  I slept better than I sleep in my own bed. It was very quiet, peaceful, comfortable and safe.

• Nice house with some issues

  3/5

  Initially, the house was wonderful. Very clean and house amenities were nice. House is located in a lovely neighborhood and the walk to beach wasn’t too long. Our only complaint is that the hot water stopped working midway through our stay and property manager was notified several times. The issue wasn’t fixed before we left. Also, while the house has a lot of beach materials- chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, chairs were rusted, umbrellas were broken, and boogie boards unusable. One plus was the wagon available to bring materials to beach.

  Hi Lauren, thanks for letting us know about your stay. We followed up with the homeowner after reading your feedback, and they would like to share the following: We genuinely regret that your stay did not meet your expectations, as we take our short-term rental reviews seriously. The only concern that had come to our attention was related to the water heater, which stopped working towards the end of your stay.

To acknowledge this inconvenience, we issued a refund to alleviate the situation. We trust that the steps we took to rectify the issue and provide a refund helped mitigate some of the inconveniences you encountered.

• Wonderful girls weekend!

  5/5

  This house was perfect fornour mother daughters getaway! Great location and allowed for walmart grocery delivery too. The cool reprieve from the intense August heat was welcomed. The house was clean and offered all the amenities we needed. The toddler bed in the main room was a great option for my 3 year old. It was wonderful to have the beach toys and activities available to help walk everything down to the beach. Pretty stocked pantry with essentials and coffee. The kitchen was well stocked with ample supplies and a good amount of kid cups/utensils/etc.

  The only comment is to be aware the 2nd full bath was downstairs and outside, which wasn't very convenient but we made it work.

• Quick Family Getaway

  3/5

  We enjoyed our stay at this sweet little house but had a few things that weren’t what we expected. The washing machine was broken and had stagnant water sitting in it. We didn’t realize that there was only 1 bathroom upstairs and that the second one was located downstairs. The railing near the keypad entrance door needs attention before some tries to lean on it. The deck wasn’t in great shape and shoes needed to be worn while walking on it. It was very clean and the neighborhood was lovely. It needs some TLC but we enjoyed our stay.
