The house is clean, the beds are fine and the pool is fine. Unfortunately not a lot of attention to detail. The AC is VERY loud and has to be turned off to enjoy time in the living room. It’s also very loud in the master bedroom. The second shower head in the master does not work. Low stock of items needed in the kitchen. Would not stay again unless AC is fixed.

Pool was so gross, green algy in it, water is leaking so pool water was never full, we stayed 3 nights never used the pool, cob webs all around the back yard, over 1,000 Mesquitos forsure, lawn was so outdated. I asked for a partial refund because of the pool, i was told a return check of 40 dollars will be sent to me! What a slap in the face! I have pictures of the pool, let me know if yall want to see.

Nice Private Place to Stay in Galveston
The home is nice and was relatively clean when we arrived. However, the first thing we noticed when we arrived was that the grass here, and every other house on the street, was long. Mowers did begin cutting grass at other homes during the week we were there, so maybe it was just the timing. The only other negative thing was that the pool was a murky green when we arrived and had lots of trash in it. It was an immediate shock and disappointment to the kids as this was our main reason for renting the place. We found out from maintenance that the pump had not been running, for who knows how long, and he had just shocked the water with chemicals. I had to personally do lots of skimming and cleaning with the net and the kids had to wait a few hours to let the water start to clear up before swimming. The next day the water in the pool had dropped around a foot overnight. There was a leak in the pump and the pool guy seemed to have to work on it for half the week that we were there. It did not hinder the kids from swimming and overall, they had a great time. There were a few other little things that I could nitpick about, but besides the main pool issue, the place was nice, clean and accommodating. There are plenty of beds, bathrooms, and room to move around. The A/C worked nicely. The kitchen was nice and very well supplied with dishes, utensils, pots and pans, etc. The Wi-Fi/Internet worked great. Furniture was comfortable. We would definitely stay here again.

Vacation
After we booked this property we were very concerned with the negative reviews that were left. We were in contact with the owners previous to our stay and they were very responsive and helpful. The pool was clean, it is an older pool, so it does have some tile issues, but it was perfect for us and the kids loved it! The rock wall addition to the pool was a huge hit for our boys! The house was clean. If you’re looking for a luxurious home, this one is not for you! If you’re looking for a place where you can relax, kids can swim, and you can hang around the tiki bar during the day, this is for you! It’s great location to the beach and Sea Wall BLVD. The ferry is also close if you wanted to hop on. We were very grateful for this property. We all agreed we would book this home again!

DO NOT BOOK
If I could get a refund plus a cleaning fee for everything I did that would make me feel like I didn't have all my money stolen. Master bathroom toilet was broken and we had to fix it, the bathroom wasn't clean. Blood on walls of master bathroom. Mold growing on ceiling, shower walls, curtain, and windows, trash on floor. Master bathroom sink clogged and would take 15min to drain. Main bathroom tub drain clogged. Black particles would come out of drain when water was in tub. Drain time was 60-75min for tub. Hide a bed was completely broken. It couldn't even close. When we arrived it was half way closed and the cushions were on the floor beside it. The mattress had yellow and orange stains and there was a large red/brown stain on the cushion. Dishwasher and refrigerator were both in need or repairs. They worked, but TLC needed. Every time I would use the oven the fire alarm would go off when the door was opened because of all the burned food at the bottom. Cigarette butts all over in the back yard. The pool chemical shed had the door broken off laying in yard and the chemicals were falling out onto the ground. The eating/bar area could not be used. It was full of broken pool supplies, trash, and random items. All the vents, intake and out, were full of dust. Floors were all dirty around the rooms and corners. There was a sticky pad in the laundry room that had a decaying lizard and mouse on it. I HAVE PICTURES OF ALL OF THIS! My 6yr old has cystic fibrosis. It's a terminal lung disease. It's hard enough to keep her healthy, and breathing without difficulty, without having to deal with unsanitary conditions like this. I spent a day cleaning just so we could stay there comfortably. I left it cleaner then when we arrived.

Not the best value
The interior of the home was very good and layout was convenient. There was a problem with one door lock, the beds were average at best, and there was a moldy shower curtain in one bathroom. Not enough toilet paper and a constantly running master bath toilet. The backyard was terrible, with a standing bucket of water to breed mosquitoes, trash and debris scattered about and worst of all not one blade of grass for our dogs. Not really pet friendly.

Great property and location, terrible experience
We reserved the house for 9 and it was listed in the reservation, when we arrived there were only 8 towels, 20 pillows (w/ no cases) and no extra sheets or blankets. For as much as the cleaning fee is, the place was terrible, trash all around the backyard and pool area, dust from floor to ceiling, every fan was caked with dust, dead flies smacked on the walls and weird substances dripping down. There were car fresheners hanging throughout the house and even the trash truck worker said the last tenants said the same thing! Didn’t notice until the last day but the front door, one of the panes was broken out and there were still shards of glass sticking out of the door, this could have really injured out children! The pool was great to have, it needs to be replastered as it looks dirty all the time and no lights at the Tiki Bar work. Overall I would stay here again due to the location and amenities if it was more taken care of, definitely was not worth what we paid for to stay.

Spring Break Getaway
I picked this property for the pool and proximity to beach and popular island activities. Upon entering the home, we were met with an overall stale odor. I am not sure if it was since the home had not been used in a while or the air had been off, but you could tell something was off. In the kitchen there was an overwhelming smell of bleach, as if they were overcompensating for something. Upon inspection of the kitchen cabinets, we found a dead bug as well as one cabinet with spilled spices. There was remints of food splashed on all cabinets and floors. In addition, almost every single light fixture had some if not all light bulbs missing and/or not working. The home just needs some general TLC. Outside, there is literally 1 chair at the Tiki bar to sit in. All others are broken and not 1 single chair to sit around the pool with. Upon arrival, the hose was in the pool, and we weren't sure if we should remove it or not. In addition, one morning a man was just mysteriously walking around the back yard. we were not informed that anyone was coming to the property. I was there as a single mom with my 2 kids and their aunt. This was a bit scary for us. We found out that he was the pool man, but we would have liked to been informed of his visit. Overall, the property served its purpose. We were able to swim, visit all the places we wanted to see and enjoy our vacation. I did contact management and they did refund my cleaning deposit and send someone out immediately to address the light bulb situation. Property just could stand a deep cleaning and some overall touching up. Would possibly return if I knew these items were completed.
