Waterfront Townhouse with High-Speed WiFi and Central AC & Snowbird-Friendly

Everything was great, very clean and nice.

This is exactly what we needed for a family of 4 to escape for the weekend. Not too far off from the beaches and plenty of amenities. Would come back to this one again.

The rental was adjacent to Galveston country club.

Our family stayed here while in town for a graduation. Location of the property was nice. The interior is something to be desired. For the price you pay to stay, it needs some updating. Paint is peeling from the ceiling, the carpets are soiled, the doors to the balconies didn't work the best, it smelled musty and the only soap, besides the shower, was in the bathrooms. No soap for the kitchen, no Kleenexes (we had to buy our own), and no extra blankets.

Good location and furnished ok. Problems encountered: Wireless password given (Seagull24) was incorrect and main TV didn't work. Called Vacasa about these items 3 times and was told I would be contacted shortly. That never happened. Luckly we discovered correct password (SEAGULL24) by trial and error. TV was never fixed. Tub drained very slowly. Door to balcony off main living area was very hard to open. This was a major safety concern if there was a fire. I won't rent a Vacasa property ever again.

Good property- great location for Kayaking and quick access to the beach.

We loved the location of this condo! It was off the main roads and quite quiet of a stay. There was easy access to beaches and a grocery store. We benefitted from the county clubs evening music and the neighbors were nice. There is a water hose just outside the garage to rinse sandy feet off before entering the unit. Bonus was getting to watch the sunset on the bay side of the island on one of two decks. However, there were a few things to mention. Upon opening the door, there was a heavy smell of mildew/mold. You could probably track it to the A/C unit. There are two flights of stairs with the kitchen on the top floor. Getting groceries and ice chests up was a chore. There is a stove with three of four burners that worked and a dishwasher that worked only when a switch is flipped. Our first evening we got settled in and washed the silverware and some dishes as they were not clean. There were food bits in the silverware tray/ silverware and debris stuck to dishes and cups. The blender was the worst offender with a flaky smoothie mess from a previous occupant. No biggie once we got that squared away. There are no sharp knives in this unit; may consider bringing your own. We did notice the bedroom level toilet had a long, slow flush so considered a possible clog in the drain as the reason for that and the shower draining very slowly. We did find a strikingly large hair ball in the drain of the shower. These things are more likely an issue of Vacasa management or who they have hired out to clean the unit. We did try to contact Vacasa about an issue we had with the unit only to be hung up on twice and our chat with them disconnected. We even reached out to VRBO for assistance (they were awesome), and they were hung up on by Vacasa too. There are kayaks on site, but they are locked up and no key is clearly available. Also, should note that the pier to put in any kayaks was not geared for the smaller sized boats, an alternative would have been to put in at the marshy shallow areas with waist deep vegetation. We did reach out to the unit owner concerning the use of kayaks or where to find ones that were available, and still haven't received a response for that. We also noticed that the Master bed has two adult sized dips and the sofa also gravitates to the center. The dining table is really only geared to set three people unless you want to move furniture. This unit would be a nicer place if some of these issues were considered.

My stay was originally set for a 10 day period but Hurricane Nicholas cut that short by two days. The property team was quick to keep me updated as to the availability of the unit and refunded the days I missed. The unit was only affected by a power outage. Otherwise, great unit and location which overlooked Lake Como. I was there to fish the bays around Galveston. I had a very enjoyable stay.

Good for short stays. Great location if you want some quietness..

Beautiful stay in a beautiful location!
