    The property was not as nice as the pictures. The coffee maker was broken, the Front porch chair was broken, the washer didn't work and rolled-up rugs on the floor were tripping hazards.

    It was just about 1 block away from the beach, and had a good setup for a family stay in Galveston

    We enjoyed staying in this house. There was enough room for nine of us towels were provided very close walk to the beach. There were a little issues, faulty door knobs mosquitoes but other than that it was roomy. It was very clean. I would stay in this the same exact house again.

    We chose this house due to its location and access to two bathrooms, which were both great! The furniture in the main area is weathered, but functional. We loved the fenced front and back yards for our dog. The neighborhood is nice and feels safe. This is an older home, but kept up nicely. The kitchen had most of the items needed to cook and grill. The coffee maker is a drip one, so make sure to bring grounds, it was nice to find filters and sugar were provided. If the living/dining room furniture and back bedroom bed frame were upgraded, this house would be a 5.

    Nice older home with all the basic needs. Quiet neighbors and the street doesn’t get a ton of traffic.

    The place was cute…. But THAT is ALL it has! There is so much broken and falling apart furniture in here that it should be shut down as a safety hazard until EVERYTHING inside is replaced! The bed in the second bedroom literally COLLAPSED under my daughter when she laid down in it the first night we were there… we found it to have been repaired MULTIPLE times and even being held together BY COAT HANGERS! The clothes washer is broken and with mold all inside it. There are electric plugs hanging from the wall. Cabinets hang open with no way to keep them closed exposing chemicals, tools and other hazards to kids and animals. The floor hasn’t been cleaned more than sweeping in ages… walked through it in my white socks and they were BLACK after 30 minutes!! The beds have the most uncomfortable mattresses on them as well, but that is something I face most anywhere, so THAT can slide. Only ONE of the THREE T.V.s worked in the house with us moving it to the living room and putting it in front of non-working main T.V..

    The house was great! The house had everything we needed. When we arrived, the house was clean and ready to receive us. The house is a six-minute walk from the beach. Everything is close by so you don't have to drive much. There are many excellent restaurants nearby. My family and I enjoyed our vacation.

    Older place, so some standard things you would expect, but well maintained. Enjoyed the stay!

    We really loved the location of the beach house. It was two blocks away from the seawall and really closed to Pleasure Isle. There were some inconveniences, but that is to be expected at a place where so many people stay. There were some issues with the furnishings. Carly/rug that was curled up and was easy to trip over it. There was a broken chair on front porch, the coffee pot did not work (I had to go by one, which I took home with me the worst inconvenience was the washer did not work, so we weren’t able to wash any clothes, other than than these, it was okay. Hopefully we can find a better one next year,

    This house is cute, roomy, and very close to the beach. There were several small issues that would have been nice to know about ahead of time. The first issue we had was getting the front door to lock from the outside. My advice is to test it as soon as you check in. We were delayed to dinner our first night 30 minutes trying to get someone to tell us how to get the door locked. (Just pushing the button on the outside was not working.). The coffee pot does not work at all, so bring instant, or your own coffee pot. The ice maker is not operational. There are 2 ice trays, so plan on purchasing ice, as well. There were only a couple of washcloths, so you will need to bring your own if you need more than 4 washcloths for your stay. (None of these issues would have changed my mind in staying here, but it would have been good information to know up front so I could have prepared for them.) There are plenty of beds and they are very comfortable. There are puzzles and games at the house to enjoy during the evenings. The backyard is quite large with 2 large tables and a propane grill (just bring all utensils yourself for grilling).
