Nice house, good location

All in all, it was pretty good. There are some maintenance issues that should be addressed but it worked out good, even though we were supposed to have 10 people and only ended up with 6. I would definitely stay here again and hopefully they take the issues that i've sent them and get those taken care of. One thing I thought was kind of odd, there were no regular drinking glasses there at all, but there was a nice selection of pots, pans, even a slow cooker.

Galveston Beach vacation home was perfect!

Wonderful Beach home just west of Galveston, Texas. Plenty of room for our family, comfortable furnishings, plenty of cooking utensils, pots and pans. Close to the beach and nice and quiet during the evening. Highly recommend this property for your Beach vacation.

This is our second time staying at this house. We had a great experience. The house is perfect for our family needs. The distance to the beach is short and easy to access. We recommend the house to others who want a nice place to stay and relax.

Great Beach Rental

This house was great and almost exactly what we expected! The only drawback was the listing said it provided and umbrella and beach chairs which it did not, it wasn't a big deal but had we known we could have been better prepared. The unit was clean, smelled nice, and was as described! We were very happy with the property and felt like it was a great deal for the price.

Great house and Location

We enjoyed this house very much. We were in town to celebrate my daughter and her boyfriend getting their white coat in PA school. We had plenty of space for our family that was able to come along. Gave 4 stars because both trash bins were full when we got there and there is only 1 dish towel in kitchen. Honestly, other than those two little things the house was perfect. I would rent it again and will definitely recommend to others. It’s a great location and easy walk to the beach.

Excellent stay near the beach

The house was very spacious. It’s enough room for the perfect family getaway or a weekend with friends. It’s just a short walk to the beach. You can actually see the waves crashing from the balcony. I was happy with how clean the house was and I would definitely stay there again in the future.

Island wedding

Son got married ... Wanted a place on the Island to be closer with room for 11 ... Had plenty of sleeping places with 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms were great getting ready. May want to bring a pot holder and a couple extra kitchen towels if you plan on cooking ... Other than that pots pans and cooking trays crock pot were all in place for use ... Only a block to beach for a beach day. Nice water view too ... Would stay again

Great home!! But subpar service!!

The home itself was wonderful!! Amazing proximity to the beach, with beautiful views and great amenities!! Unfortunately the linens, counter surfaces and rugs could have been made cleaner upon arrival. As well, the Vacasa client contact and customer service was not excellent. When we had some issues checking in, it took Vrbo (who we originally booked the home though) to contact Vacasa and eventually resolve the issues.

Perfect beach house

My family of 5 adults and two tiny children loved this house. We had plenty of space to spread out. The clean beach was a short walk plus we could see the beach from our porches. One suggestion-the balcony really needs a safety gate.

Lovely spacious home close to beach with maintenance problems.

Good layout of home with comfortable furniture, decks & patio with comfortable seating & nice view of area. Problems with electronic stove, Keurig coffee pot, kitchen faucet reported to management. Old BBQ grills, propane grill missing parts, charcoal grill okay, no grilling utensils or lighter. Both outside large garbage containers were filled with fowl smelling garbage upon arrival. Need updated door information and instructions for TV.

Good location and beach close by. House was not clean….from cracker crumbs under the sheets to mold on outdoor furniture…and it lacked basic amenities. Items were not set up as promised either.

Vacation 2023

This house is located just a block from the beach on a street that is not very busy so it made walking to the beach simple. The house itself was very roomy with enough sleeping areas for our family of 8. The Wi-Fi is a little slow but since we didn’t spend much time watching tv or playing on the phones it did not cause any problems. The AC worked well. The house had everything we needed. We will definitely be booking again.

A home away just when we needed it

My son ended up having a severe health issue that landed him in the ER our first night. These events are scary enough as is, but not being in our own home could have made things even more stressful. But, the VRBO was restful enough, well appointed enough, and near enough to the pharmacy and stores that it all worked out.
