Beach Escape – Close to Attractions & the Shore

Good for the rest of holiday

Property is nice, clean and comfortable. I would definitely stay here again. 5 minute walk to beach and area is quiet. Away from busy area of Galveston, which was perfect for us but close enough to go to the strand, out to eat etc. We really enjoyed our stay here. Host was very responsive anytime we reached out with questions. Upper level:As other reviews have said the bedroom with a queen bunk bed (room that has 1 bunk bed) you access it by going through the master bathroom. The washer and dryer is in a closet in this room as well. Not a big deal to us, our teenage boy slept in here but just so you’re aware of the layout. The room with the twin beds, you will need a fan, it does get warm in this room. Master bedroom was very comfortable and bed was perfect for us. Lower Area:We liked that the lower area was separate because our daughter and her family stayed here and it gave them their own place and space but could come together to eat and play games. The lower space has 2 queen bunk beds in open area as seen in description, a bedroom with a queen bed and a bathroom. The bathroom does have a pretty nice size step up. Again this did not bother us but just making aware due to if someone had elderly people or handicapped it would not be accessible to them. There is no dining table in lower or upper area but there is a card table in the lower area. Again we would definitely stay here again and enjoyed our stay.

We came with 15 extended family members. House was close to the beach and had enough room for everyone.

This home is located on the quieter side of Galveston near colorful houses on stilts. It is close to the park reserves and 5 minutes away from the beach. The beach is a public beach, no lifeguards but just perfect for families and quiet moments at sunrise or sunset. It's about 25 min or less depending on traffic to touristy spots such as historic Galveston. We loved that. The master suite was clean and nicely decorated as well as the upper living room. The lower kitchen area was also stocked. Appliances were new on both floors. I only gave it 4 stars because there were some thing I wish we had known before. The upper and lower floors are only connected by external stairs. If it was raining going up and down to check on kids would have been annoying. The room set up was not clear for us . Lower floor had 2 sets of bunk beds in the living room and one room with a door. Bottom floor had one bathroom. Upper floor has a beautiful master with king(?) Bed and attached to a lovely master bath with tub. Going through the master bath is the only way you can access another room with a bunkbed. Upper floor also has a closed door room with 2 twins (room was hot and needed a fan) and a 2nd bathroom. So tons of rooms, just a bit of a consternation to how to get folks in rooms that still had privacy. We could never get the upstairs dishwashing machine to work right and it was clear that the space was decorated quickly, but everything was there that you needed for a great beach stay!

The home is 2 separate units-up & downstairs. The overall feel is more a camp vibe rather than for multiple families. Downstairs has 2 bunk beds in the living area. There is no table just a small bar/counter area. The downstairs bathroom has a shower/tub with a 10in(?) step to get in. The step surface is shower tile & is slick. No grab bars.The back room downstairs had no window covering on the door. We used Scotch tape &trash bag cover.The downstairs had a glass top coffee table- not safe for small children and their toys. The floors were not swept when we arrived and the bathroom downstairs had brown-spots on the sink that we cleaned upon arrival with lysol wipes. There was food in the fridge from previous guests. Upstairs- There was no table for eating just a bar/countertop. The 3rd room upstairs is connected to the main bath & you have to go through the main bedroom. It also has the W&D.Main bath-no shower head. The 2nd bath no shower curtain & no window cover.The main room mattress had pee stainsMouse poop in upstairs kitchen cabinets. Dirty dishes in the cabinetThe staff brought mouse traps on2nd day & window tint &shower curtain on the 4th day. Tint was placed on the wrong side so u can see into the bath from outside. The shower curtain had no liner and no shower hooks so it was never hung. They never returned with the items they said they would bring.New appliances throughout.They did communicate well through the app and make effort to correct

Beautiful property! Very spacious and open floor plan! Host was very responsive. King bed upstairs very soft and comfortable! Other beds are a little hard and need toppers. Porch light doesn’t stay on unless directly in front of. Jet tub does not work but is not listed! Took a bit to cool down but stayed cold after! Need fans in front and back room upstairs as vents do not push a lot of air. Plenty of parking and pet friendly. Could use a large table for family eating! Spacious porches up stairs front and back! Large bbq pit! Short walk to beach! Short drive for beach access! Raised tub downstairs is great for bathing babies! Could use some throw blankets! Property was very fitting for our group! I loved that it was like having 2 separate homes! We will be renting this property again! coffee cups are needed at the property! The kitchens were stocked with a few pots and pans, 4 cups, 4 plates, 4 bowls, a couple cookie sheets, a crockpot, blender, Keurig, coffee pot, and some utensils and silverware! There was a towel and wash cloth on each bed, 1 per person! Thank you so much for your hospitality! We can not wait to return.
