Relaxing and enjoyable stay
The house has great location, on a short dead-end street, right on the beach with easy access. A great grocery store and diner within walking distance. 15-20 minutes from Galveston proper.

Great Little Beachfront Property Exactly As Described
Nice little beach house good for a small family. Reminds me of the lake cabin my aunt and uncle had years ago. Not as large as the neighboring properties but it's facing the same ocean. Very pleasant overall.

Quite getaway
Very nice and clean house. Easy access to the beach. Love the view from the covered deck. Wish the grill would have been there and the washer and dryer would help with wet clothes but overall it was well worth the price and will rent again.

On the Beach
Nice little beach house for a couple or small family wanting easy access to the beach. The covered deck is amazing with a great view! Accommodations are older and very basic, for example there is no dishwasher, but we enjoyed our time there. One caveat, the bathtub and bathroom floor are extremely slippery when wet!

Jamaca Beach house
Great little place. It only has window units for AC which was our only tiny conplaint. Once we got the house cooled off it was great. We also used a cover to keep the luggt out in the morning so we could sleep a little longer. It was away from the hustle and bustle of Galveston, but close enough to drive in for lunch and dinner.

Great location, quaint house
House is cute. The location is great. The host was super easy to reach and communication was great. There was an odor that would come and go, I am not sure if it was the house itself, or if it was from the plumbers that were working on something 2 doors down, but the host had maintenance out first thing the next morning to check it out (keep in mind, i was texting the host at 11pm, so the next morning was 100% above and beyond). I am sure the host would fix anything they could if there is a problem. There was a pretty severe storm with high winds and this little house is super sturdy considering it is on stilts and right on the ocean. To the host, i would say thankyou for a lovely stay.

Horrible experience
When I arrived at the property, I tried to access the property via the touch keypad on the entry door and it did not work. I also tried the lockbox downstairs and it did not work / open either. I called the guest contact regarding the issue. I was told that I should try to pry open the lockbox. I responded that I could not do that. Then the local contact said that somebody would come by to fix the issue. I clearly explained that I could not wait with my family and kids stuck there and did not feel safe doing so. I asked him to cancel the reservation and provide me refund but he kept saying that sending somebody over was the best he could do. I never saw the local contact or anybody on the property during my stay. I had my family and kids with me and left the property for safety issue without being able to access. It was getting dark outside and it did not feel safe to stay there at all. Also we were stuck without any access to amenities like restrooms etc. This has been a horrible experience for me and my family. We have never experienced such unprofessional arrangement and behavior for VRBO properties. The property should have been readily accessible. This incident caused huge inconvenience causing a lot of mental stress during the entire experience. I would strongly discourage going with this property and expect that I get my full refund immediately.

Mold, Musty, Dirty, Dilapidated, Left Early
What a beautiful spot and what a horrible house! So horrible that we could not stay our entire time and had to leave early. The biggest issue is the black mold that is visible and the musty smell hits you when you walk in. When we got home all of our clothes had to be washed, even the ones we didn’t wear, because they smelled musty. There is visible mold on the curtain and windows. I am sure behind the paneling it is riddled with mold. Other issues: it’s just run down and the online pictures must be really old because it’s not that nice. The patio furniture is different and not nice like the pictures. The place is leaning and one bedroom door doesn’t stay shut, and it doesn’t have a doorknob. The top of the refrigerator is up against the wall but the bottom has a 5 inch gap. The bathroom doors are ridiculous. Dirty and grimy yes, but no knobs and just 99 cent hooks to keep shut. Instead of properly fixing the central AC the owners went on the cheap and put window AC units. They are noisy and near the beds and couch and thus impossible to open windows to air the place out. There is so much condensation between the living room window panels of glass it literally beads all day and it is difficult to see out that window. You know that adds to all the mold. Other lame issues, living room tv didn’t work kitchen utensils were dirty. Dried food crusty kind of dirty. So much for the cleaning fee. Lamps busted, paint all messed up and dirty. Don’t stay here!

Great little Beach house
Clean and very cute place. it’s older but had a homey feel and was very comfortable. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Relaxed and enjoyed listening to the waves. I have no complaints at all. Owners responded to our question about the internet very quickly. All was good and I’d stay there again.

Did not stay.
We walked into the property and it was 90 degrees in the house. None of the air conditioners were on. We were able to turn on one of the window units but someone came to turn on the other one. The house had a very strong urine smell and we were told by the owners representative who came to turn on the air conditioner that it was because the house was close to the ocean. The representative also was spraying disinfectant after he turned on the air. He could smell the foul odor. I lived in a coastal town my first 17 years and ocean does not make a house smell like a litter box. Also the pictures did not match the listing and the front door looked like it had seen better days. There were loose boards on the deck. I like renting a beach house so my 80 year old mother can watch the ocean from the deck. The stairs and deck were not safe for her to walk on. We asked the owner and Evolve for a refund and they refused. We booked another property and did not stay one night in the Bristow house. We suspect the house may have black mold because all of our allergies were blooming after just the little time we were there. I was extremely happy with the house we stayed in last year and thought listings on VRBO could be trusted. You might want to take this one down off your site. Now I am out over $4000 for my weeks vacation on accommodations since we had to book somewhere else. I am very unhappy!

Great place needs work
Great location right off the beach with great extras like towels cooking ware and other little things just felt like the house could have looked a little nicer on outside and a little nicer lighting like rope lights and the house had a sewer smell at front door and ran on window units so house was pretty warm most of the time but had a great time sitting on the patio and enjoying the ocean breeze

Great location!
We absolutely loved the location of this cottage. Breathtaking views, short walk to the beach and away from all the traffic. The cottage itself was the perfect size for our family. We spent most of our time outside, so mostly used it for sleeping. The only issue we ran into was the A/C window units didn’t cool very well and were extremely noisy. If you like a bath sheet size towel, bring your own, as the ones provided are small. The kitchen had all we needed for preparing our meals. The kitchen, bathroom and beds were clean, but the place could use a deep clean of the windows, floorboards, trim and fresh paint. We would definitely stay again, as the location was perfect,

We enjoyed our four day stay with the amazing ocean views including easy quick access just steps away from the beach. We enjoyed sitting on the back porch taking in the scenic views. The sound of the waves crashing on to the beach was heaven.

Seascape
Pictures on listing were outdated. Initial impression was disappointing. After entering the property the interior was better than the exterior. A/C was ok at night, not so much during the heat of the day. Deck roofing very rusty & has big holes in it (but it didn’t rain while we were there) Some of the features advertised were not present: outdoor grille, foot washing shower, etc. Arrived on Friday & trash bin was already full & wasn’t emptied until Monday after we checked out. The house was sufficient for our needs, but had a few issues. Next time I will pay a little more & maybe get something a little nicer.

Cute little beach house
We had a great time here! Great location next to the beach! Cons: It's a little run down and outdated, tiny shower, terrible walkway, we were awoken by a neighbors air pump ( thin walls ), couldn't access the washer and dryer and the house was 90 degrees when we arrived.. June in the Texas heat.. Took almost 18 hours to cool off and the fridge smelled. Pros : Seems like a safe neighborhood, great location, cute, good for two ppl even though it could technically accommodate more.

The view is a 10. Grass was tall and needed cutting. Old ac unit was on the picnic table down stairs so you could not use. Very muddy at the stairs could use some stepping stones. Some wiring hanging down from rafters down stairs. Could use some tlc on the property. Otherwise we had a good time.
