It was a terrific place to stay, with an excellent, fully-equipped kitchen, probably the best I've ever seen in a VRBO! Recommended!

Great House but location leaves much to be desired

The house was great, the property was great but the location was very questionable. Houses beside it were run down and inhabitable.

Very well appointed

My family of 6 stayed here very comfortably. The house was clean and very well appointed. Here are our pros and cons. Pros- Clean and beautifully decorated Comfortable beds Well stocked kitchen Large bathroom with 2 showers Cons- Neighborhood Construction noise next door Not enough essentials provided Deadbolts we’re extremely hard to lock

Last minute vacation

Overall the stay was great! We just had difficulty getting into the house. The key pad wasn’t working and it got really hot really fast holding all of our belongings while trying to get in. Other than that hiccup the house nicely upgraded on the inside. The neighborhood was a little rough looking, but we still felt safe during our stay.

Beautiful Home!

This property was everything and more! The pictures look beautiful, but in person, this home blew is away. It was so clean, the decorations were so cute, the beds were very comfortable, and we loved all the little things that they added to make it feel like home. Games for the kids (they also loved the bunk beds!), Makeup wash cloths, everything we needed and more in the kitchen, extra beach towels, and the noise machines were a nice touch as well! Their customer service was amazing as well. And questions we had were answered quickly and they are all so friendly. I highly recommend staying here and we will definitely be back!

Nice stay

My family and I planned a last minute get away here after our family vacation to Florida was canceled due to the horrible storms. The property manager was very communicative and was able to get everything together last minute. Only issue we had was the front door stopped communicating with the internet hub. When I called in, Shanna was very helpful and quick to get us in with a physical key. My little kids all enjoyed the house so much that my 3 year old told my husband when we were leaving that she needed some money “to buy the mermaid house” 😂 thank you guys for a great stay!

The minted mermaid

Overall it was a decent stay. The home was not as clean as we expected. The shower had mold in the bottom so I had to wear flip flops in the shower. There were also what seemed to be German roaches. We did have a leak under the kitchen sink right after we arrived that put a LOT of water in the floor. My Gus and and I had to clean it up because the soonest they could come out was the next morning. That was not the best way to start vacation. The bunk beds are super uncomfortable. It has such a thin mattress that it feels like you are sleeping on the floor with a couple of blankets. Overall it was okay. I probably wouldn’t stay here again. The staff was very nice though and very quick to respond to messages.

Great vacation property

The property was so nice and modern. It was very clean, cozy, and inviting. We had some difficulty getting the door unlocked when we arrived, but we called the property managers, and they were very helpful and efficient with getting the door unlocked. The check-out process was very easy, which allowed us to enjoy our last day there. I would definitely recommend staying at this property if planning a trip to Galveston!
