Beautiful beach house and great location!

I highly recommend this beach house! Any time we come to the Galveston we go down this way to the beach instead of the seawall. This beach house is right across the street from a beach access where the beach isn’t as crowded. We walked to the beach each time we went. Outside property was clean and secure. Inside the house was very nice and clean as well. Exactly like the pictures. Supplied well in case you forgot something. It was very relaxing and will definitely be booking again

Much Needed Relaxation

I was pleasantly surprised by this property. I wasn’t expecting it to be so spacious! My family and I had a great time and enjoyed the beautiful view with easy access to the beach. My only recommendation is to make sure you check the location and how far from the other end of the island it is, most everything is roughly 20 minutes away.I will definitely be coming back again!

Great House!

The house is located right on the busy road so the road noise was loud at times but it was a beautiful house with lots of space and very clean. Just a short distance to the beach. Will stay there again one day.

Seahorse Spectacular

We didn’t book this house originally, Vacasa had to move us because our other house didn’t have air-conditioning. We didn’t know too much about this house that we had picked since it was last minute move. There were some negative reviews about this house regarding cleanliness and pest control issues. We did not encounter any of that. We opened the front door and were pleasantly surprised to see a beautiful clean house that we were able to spend the next several days enjoying. Decor was well thought out, it was beautiful. The kitchen was well stocked and professionally laid out. The bedrooms and the bathrooms were all decorated like a beach resort. So many extra touches. A stack of clean beach towels by the front door, outlets for charging your electronics, lots of tv stations to choose from, well stocked kitchen, full size pantry, full size washer and dryer, beach chairs and sand castle making tools. We loved that our property was gated since it sits right on FM 3005. It’s a short walk to the beach. Book your stay now!

Beautiful beach house

I loved the layout of this house. The balconies had very nice chairs where we really enjoyed drinking our coffee. The traffic was a little noisy, but we were close to the beach, and the house itself was beautiful and very well equipped.

Beautiful home with Roaches

The home and location were beautiful BUT there were lots of roaches. I went and bought spray on Thanksgiving, but we were uncomfortable and roaches survived. Mgmt sent someone over with combat roach traps and that was all. I can’t believe such a beautiful home was having this problem.

Best Vacation Ever

Could not be more pleased with this place. We got a really great deal last minute. It wasn’t our first choice as it’s a bit out-of-the-way from the seawall but once we arrive, we realize this was the best place we could’ve possibly ever imagined the location is across the street from the beach. You can see the ocean from the deck as you sit and drink your coffee in the morning the furniture was tastefully decorated. They had absolutely every cooking gadget you could think of. We are definitely definitely coming back here next year I think this is gonna be our rental for a lifetime now.

Know Before You Go…

The furnishings, appliances, beach access, beach accessories, and outdoor game area were all nice, helpful, and enjoyable. Keypad to access the property was not working and property management service was polite but not helpful. Due to broken pad we did not get in until 3 hrs after we arrived and late check out was refused despite it. The property manager was aware of it being broken per previous property review on same issue. Know that if you choose this property and have issues, you’ll have to wait a while for a response. It is by a busy highway with a lot of emergency vehicle noise.

Great house!

The house was great. Spacious and clean and within 3 minutes walk to the beach. There were only four of us, but the house could easily accommodate more people comfortably. My only real gripe was the keyless entry access. Upon arrival, the code to access the house didn’t work. After contacting Vacasa I was given another code. And, a third. And, a fourth. Clearly, the issue was with the lock mechanism and not the code. I was finally able to reach a rep with Vacasa. After further frustration and another 45 minutes she was able to get the code for one of two lockboxes on the property and I was able to use a physical key to enter the property. There were two lockboxes located on the property and the code only unlocked one of the boxes in which there was no key. During this process it didn’t help that my intelligence was insulted, as if a college educated adult does understand how to punch numbers on a keypad. Fortunately, I was finally given a code to the second lockbox where the key was located. This took about an hour, which was after a four hour drive to get to the property. The second key was located on a hook just inside the door. I would recommend simplifying this process for future guests. We were on the verge of leaving when the rep called with the correct code. Needless to say this was not the best start to our stay.

Great house but a few issues

The house itself is a great house. Great location across the street from the beach with easy access. Some great restaurants between the house and town which is about a 20 minute drive. This house allows pets so it should have better cleaning service to eliminate hair. Biggest issue we encountered and what lowered our rating was the number of bugs and the poor response from the management company.

Property is nice

The property is very nice especially the gas fireplace. There was leak in the ceiling next to laundry room so I hope it gets repaired before next visitor. The kitchen is easy to work in but needs a few items like serving spoons. Also bedrooms and bathrooms need hooks for robes and coats. You have to place coats on back of chairs or on the floor. These simply items would be so helpful.

Perfect House

We truly enjoyed our stay in the house!!! It had everything we needed plus more! I wish we would have stopped by the house first before going to the store. We purchased items we didn’t need. The house already had it. We had enough space for everyone. The only thing I will tell the next guests, this house two sets of bunk beds, queen sofa bed, queen bed and a king bed. The pictures only showed one bunk bed. I don’t recall reading about the sofa bed. I want to thank the owners!! Your house was perfect ‼️

Lone Star Rally 2022

My husband and I rented this property to attend the Lone Star Rally, but after the kids and grands came down we were having such a great time with just family that we ended up riding our bikes to the rally on the last day which was Sunday. The property was clean, well kept, spacious, reasonably priced and easy to reach. We will definitely book this home again in the future.
