Steps to Sand: Galveston Beach Bungalow!

Reviews

• Horrible condition

  1/5

  We had to book this house last minute (the night before our departure). We were supposed to go to Port Bolivar but the tornado took out the power. We booked this house before midnight the night before (and before the website cuts off same day bookings). When we arrived around 6pm the next day, the house was dark with no lights on. When we walked in, the house had not been cleaned and was disgusting. There were dirty dishes in the sink, greasy pans on the stove top. Food crumbs on the counters and floor. Both beds were used and dirty and there were tissue and dirty towels all over the bathroom. When I called the owner listed in the confirmation email, he did not answer nor ever return my call. Evolve took 3 hours to confirm the owner was unreachable and provide a refund to me. I have 2 small kids and both were tired and hungry without a place to eat and rest for hours. It was a nightmare trip that could have been easily avoided if the owner had either canceled my trip because they couldn't get it cleaned in time, or have it cleaned in time. Zero excuses. The house is small with shoddy work and no up to par amenities for the price.

• Fun/but

  3/5

  Our family did have a fun time and we did realize the property was small. We had chosen this property because our family was small plus the reviews when we were first looking were very good. As it was getting closer though the reviews were poor. This did make us concerned and did not get answers when we inquired. Just that there had been other renters since and no complaints.

  Once we got to the property there was an old golf cart and old beach items that were all over. The golf cart stayed and was broken.

  Once inside though the little house was very cute and clean, except for a very old and moldy shower curtain. My daughter ordered a new one and it came the next day. We had read about the mattresses being stained, but chose not to look as everything else was fresh. It was not till we were preparing to leave on our last day and as required we pulled the linens and yes to our dismay the mattresses were stained and was so disappointing. I did let the guest contact know this info also . The property is for sale and hopefully this and other reviews will help to fix some of the problems as the property is cute .

  Thank you!

• Simple but comfortable

  5/5

  We had three people staying here two nights and this property totally met our needs. The property listing was exactly as described. Nicely furnished, comfortable beds. The proximity to the beach is awesome. Good value, checkout steps were reasonable, and overall a very good stay.
