0907 Blissful Beachside Hideout

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have stayed at the Galvestonian previously in a friends condo and had the BEST experience. However, this year she double booked so we had to rent from the Galvestonian directly. We paid triple what we would have for our friends' condo but were willing to do so because we love the environment so much. We were sadly disappointed this year and have decided that we might need to look elsewhere in our future visits. The room was SO muggy and the bathroom was miserable to be in as the vent fan didn't work. The air conditioner was extremely old and a note was left not to turn it below 70 so we stayed hot and muggy the whole time. The stove, sink head in kitchen, AND microwave were installed incorrectly so upon touching, the stove would rock back and forth making it hard to cook food since the surface was not flat, the microwave would jar up and down upon touching as if it was about to fall off of the wall and the sink would wobble every which way when used. We were afraid it would completely break if we used it. Lastly, we noticed immediately (and struggled the whole trip) that the SMELL of the room was SO STRONG OF CIGARRETT and ALCOHOL! This WAS a NON-SMOKING room! It was almost unbearable. We had to be given approval by a manager when we asked for new towels after using the same bath towels for 3 days because the lady at the front argued that housekeeping was gone and there were no other clean towels so we'd have to wait until the next day. When I asked what we were to use for our showers she shrugged and said I don't know but I cant help with that. The manager did end up making sure we were given towels. We are sad that this all occurred here this year as it WAS our favorite place to stay.

Our 2nd time to stay in the Blissful Beachside Hideout, the rental is always very clean, comfy beds, cold A/C and has all the supplies needed (missing a broom). Love waking up every morning to the beautiful ocean views, right out your back door, never gets old. Susan at the front desk was very helpful and friendly. Every employee there has always been friendly. We usually visit during the summer but this year we came in October and it was amazing. The weather was great,we practically had the beach to was 80-86 degrees during the day and cool mornings for walks on the beach to see the sunrise. Hardly any wait at any of the restaurants!! We cant wait to come again next year!!!
