Gulf view home blocks from the beach with AC, deck & W/D - 2 dogs welcome

We enjoyed how close this property is to the beach and how much room the house had. There were some upkeep issues as well as lack of communication from host when we reached out. Overall, we had a great trip, just wish that the house was better taken care of and that we when we communicated with the host, someone would have helped us out.

Great location from the beach as well as three bedrooms- 1 king, 1 queen, and 2 sets of bunk beds, 2 bathrooms and a full kitchen and laundry room. House lacked some basic upkeep and maintenance. We reached out due to a light flickering and not staying on in one of the rooms, but no one came or tried to help us solve the problem.

As soon as we got into the house we noticed how there were huge stains on the couch pillows and blankets and the couch itself. Also the floor seemed to be dirty with crumbs and dirt. We were also told we couldn't set our trash beside the outside trashcan but that trashcan was already full upon arrival. Our experience was still enjoyable but we were disappointed in the cleanliness of the house.

18611 Warrior Dr., Galveston, TX. The internet and cable never worked the entire time we were there. I attempted to communicate with Vacasa via text message but it was difficult with no internet, which never got resolved. When we first got there we found that certain areas of the home did not have power, but we were able to reset the three breakers in the electrical box. A major issue was the mold in the refrigerator that I had to clean up myself. The couches were stained and also appeared to have mold on them as well. We used the dishwasher and we discovered that water leaked out of the garbage disposal onto the wood, which left an foul moldy smell. We cleaned it up the best we could, but the smell was still lingering. My boys were getting sick and I got a headache. It was at that point we decided we couldn’t stay another night. If my son didn’t go out with his friend from Houston we would have left sooner. I was even supposed to drop my brother off at the airport and come back to the rental. Instead we packed up and drove almost 4 hours in the heavy rain from Galveston to the IAH airport and then to Round Rock to stay at my sister and parents house. It’s a nice looking house but it should be cleaned and checked more often. Especially after a storm. The couches need to be tossed out asap and the garbage disposal replaced. No one should have to be subjected to those kinds of conditions. I contacted Vacasa and VRBO with zero results.

Where do I begin? Upon check in we noticed the property is invested with mosquitoes. We instantly knew we wouldn’t be able to be outside. The lawn is extremely overgrown and so overgrown our little dog couldn’t even use the restroom. Once upstairs to check in the home smelled like smoke. Not sure if previous renters were smokers or the cleaning crew is a smoker. I informed Vacasa, they told me to open the windows. Well it’s too hot outside to do that. Vacasa offered no additional help. We immediately noticed the ac wasn’t able to catch up to what the thermostat was sat on. This home needs some serious maintenance on the ac if not a new unit. Monday night we all baked, seriously it got to 79 degrees in the home night 1. Day 2 I informed Vacasa. They sent out a general contractor to fix a wobbly fan but he stated “I can’t touch the ac, I will tell them to send a tech” That never happened. We had to go out and buy a portable ac unit and two fans. Everyday I informed Vacasa about the ac. Again never sent anyone out, just didn’t care. They offered us compensation but the local manager won’t sign it off. Ridiculous! 6 days 5 nights of an ac not working then we had 8 people, 4 adults, 2 teenagers, 2 small kids. They give 2 trash bags, 1 roll paper towels, and 4 rolls of toilet paper. Once gone you, as the renter are responsible to replenish. As much as I’ve stayed in VRBO’s I’ve never had to replenish at my expense. It’s a nice property but Vacasa ruined it for us. Never again.

This is a cute home that is very clean, nicely decorated and a great layout. Though the sofas in the living area are showing age and some wear and tear, the rest of the home was great.

Ideal for beach vacations. Fully stocked home!

This property exceeded expectations. The property is not only pet friendly, but also provides a great neighborhood to walk them in. Short drive to the beach.

We enjoyed our stay, just a few minor adjustments would have made it a 5 star rental! We loved the location and the inclusiveness of the pets with the dog bed. Great touch!

Enjoyed our stay! Highly recommend!
