Great beach house
This house is great for a family vacation. We had 6 adults. Everyone got there one room and it didn’t feel like we were on top of each other. Fantastic decks. Great for enjoying the ocean breezes and the local birds. The private beach was wonderful. Just a few steps from the back of the house. Lots of supplies and well cleaned.

Nice house, but was told the elevator wasn't for guest and after washing our first load of laundry we found out the dryer wasn't working. I called twice and was told someone would come out and look at it, but never did during our stay.

Great for large families!
There were 8 adults and 2 children (7 and 5) in our group and this house was a great fit. The entrance to the beach was safe and easy with multiple options to shower off before entering the house. Lots of stairs but we appreciated the exercise and large landings on each set. The kitchen was a bit small but we made it work for the short time we were there. Regardless, we will be back!

Everything was great for the most part. Unfortunately I read the reviews and someone had mentioned wheelchair accessible because they have an elevator. However I didn’t know I had to reserve the elevator so my 80 year old mother had to walk up 6 flights of stairs several times. I asked if I could pay extra and have someone unlock the elevator and they informed me they could not. So my mother who just got over having half a lung removed and knee surgery had to suffer. I felt horrible considering it was for her birthday and this is what I put her through. I hope these people don’t have to take care of their elderly parents because God does not like ugly. Needless to say please make sure if you need the elevator put it on your reservation if you can find it since it wasn’t disclosed that you had to reserve and pay extra because I would have.

Great ocean front home for a family with pets!
This house is bright and airy with wonderful ocean views from inside the home, as well as from both decks. There was more than enough room for our family of 11 and our two dogs. Not everything in the house is new or in perfect condition, but it was clean and functional. The beach is away from the crowds but not far from anything we wanted to see or do. We all enjoyed our stay and would happily stay again!

No smoke alarms
The main issue we had was the elevator was not available for use, it was locked. Every single smoke alarm in the entire was detached, we found them in a cabinet. None of the outdoor outlets worked. The rooms were so full of furniture it was difficult to walk or find a spot for suitcases. The mattress in the master bedroom needs to be replaced. There were 9 of us that stayed and we had enough beds, and couch space to hang out. It was right on a private beach which was perfect.

Vrbo=Great ; Vrbo + Vacasa = Terrible
My wife and I stayed in a Vrbo property in Sedona at Christmas 2022. We booked this Galveston beach Vrbo property for April 2023. We did not know that the Galveston beach property was manager by Vacasa. When were arrived one of the toilets would not flush, the oven door was broken, the handle on the exterior of the patio door to the balcony was broken and attached by only one screw and the two electric recliners had their plugs cut off so that they could not be connected to power. The number of towels, wash cloths and rolls of toilet paper were not consistent with the number of people booked to stay at the property. When we called Vacasa, we were told that our concerns would be referred to the "local team". We asked when we could expect to hear from the "local team" and were told no estimated time was possible. We asked for a direct phone number to contact the "local team" but was refused this information. We continued to call and text Vacasa the first evening with no meaningful results. We finally received a call from a Vacasa maintenace tech around noon the 2nd day. We weren't informed that he was enroute or a schedule for his visit, so our plans were held hostage by Vacasa scheduling incompetence. While the Vacasa tech was able to fix some of the issues, the ability to enjoy our visit to Galveston was diminished by the failure of Vacasa to demonstrate any effort at proactive property management. We will NEVER stay at a property managed by Vacasa again.

5 star with some caveats
Disclaimer: all vacation rentals have issues. I haven’t encountered one that was “perfect” but this one came very close due to location and the ability to host so many people (12 in our case). Some caveats: 1. Professionally managed. I try to avoid these because they lack the personal details you’d expect from renting someone’s home. With this is also late check in (4pm!) and early check out (10am!) - the worst of all possible worlds. For the cost, the times should be standard (3/11). 2. Bring your own cooking and cleaning supplies. Plenty of pots and pans but not much else. Same for bath soaps, paper products etc. 3. Small kitchen for the size of the place. 4. Master king is like sleeping on a box springs. Needs to be replaced. 5. Some of the appliances are outdated. Pro: great living spaces, great entertainment options, comfy couches, fantastic porches with Gulf views, steps from the beach, lots of room in the house, plenty of entertainment options in the house (multiple TVs, streaming etc), close to the main part of Galveston but far enough away to not be in the thick of it and finally, family friendly. Would definitely rent again. The caveats are minor irritants.
