Wouldnt recommend
The good: the location is a front row house right in the water with an incredible view. Its dog friendly It was very well-stocked with plenty of linens and soaps- basically everything we needed except trash bags. The inside of the house has a nice open layout for the common areas and private bedrooms The bad: like another review said, the sand is way too deep in front of the driveway that you cannot park in the driveway. We had to park off to the side of the public access road. I did not feel my car was very secure this way. I attenpted to contact the management company twice with no response. The upstairs toilet did not flush. The house has not been kept up and taken care of the way one would expect. The upstairs closet door literally fell on me. Overall, the parking situation, upstairs toilet and lack of communication from the management company,are the reasons I wouldnt stay there again.

Great location perfect spot
Place stayed cool despite baking in the sun all day. Access to the beach was private and very nice. We ate inside and outside on the picnic table. This was a perfect spot with gorgeous views, great beds, nice sheets and plenty of kitchen gadgets and cookware for everything. We made all our meals while there and it was perfect. The house is now blue though!

Nice stay
This house is very nice and right on the beach. Property contact was nice and responsive. One big problem: there is no access other than driving through the deep sand of the public access. You WILL get stuck! We had to drive through the space under the house next door and hoped no one would show up there during our stay.

Cold AC and great location
The property is pretty run down. The sub floors are soft and the kitchen tiles are broken. The walls are bubbled and appear to be water damaged. However, the location is perfect and had all the amenities we needed. We did have to purchase some supplies like paper towels, oven mitts, and cook wear. The teflon is very scratched and dangerous to cook on. So I recommend bringing your own or purchasing before cooking. We left everything accpet the cook wear.

Beach Vaca
We had a great week staying in this oceanfront view home. We stayed just a couple of weeks after a hurricane had come through so we did encounter a couple of problems, but the management team was really great in resolving all the issues immediately! This home was perfect, quiet location, on the beach, and not far from all the activities on Galveston!

Beautiful view
When we first got there it was about a week after they had a Hurricane. So when we got there the driveway was built up with sand and we spun getting in. Got the key and there was sand build up on the floors. The WiFi didn’t work so we had no tv till the day before we left. We couldn’t use the outside shower because of the sand and trash cans was filled with sand in front of it. I did talk to the woman over the house and she got confused and said she thought I had canceled my trip. But it was someone else at another house that canceled. She did offer to make us a care package but I told her there was no need to do that. The beach was beautiful and you can find so many beautiful shells. But I will say I highly recommend you take bug repellent because the mosquitoes outside are vicious. But I would definitely stay here again. We loved it.

Beautiful view!
All in all this was a great place to stay. It was well stocked with everything needed. Very clean and the view can’t be beat. You can walk to the beach in 2 minutes - amazing! The property does need work, however. The sliding door to the porch is very, very difficult to open and has not been fixed (other reviews say the same). Some of the chairs inside and outside literally fell apart at the first touch. Hope it can get some love, because it’s in the best location.

Great Stay but Affordability Does Reflect
Lovely home with a cool floor plan and isolated master and bath (with a king!) upstairs. Great location, but only if you don’t mind a busier beach. It’s directly on the public drive-up point so the weekend was slammed. Constant traffic and fishers. The broken storm door SIGNIFICANTLY reduced quality of the stay- I thought after all the winter and spring complaints it would be resolved. We arrived, and the entire bottom of the door track was filled with water and we had to immediately start cleaning. None of us could physically open the door, only my husband. So the beautiful balcony view- didn’t happen. You’d have to go outside and go around and climb stairs (to ANOTHER broken gate that didn’t latch.) Despite the view, there was a sad picnic table, one wobbly chair, and the other chair was dismantled in the corner. Things to know: 1. Washer gets stuck on spin cycle, maybe plan on using a laundry mat. 2. Ask about the status of that back door first! 3. Balcony isn’t pet friendly because gate doesn’t latch and is broken. 4. Very well stocked amenities! Couldn’t be happier. Lots of towels! 5. Wear shoes in the kitchen or broken tile will cut you. 6. Plan a taking the public beach access turn BEFORE your GPS turn to access the house. Overall it was a great stay, just really wish we had been able to step out on the balcony since we booked a front row beach home.

Weekend Getaway
We had a wonderful time. The home was clean and looked just like the photos posted. The sliding glass door needs to be repaired, it was very difficult to open and close. We spent most of our time on the porch. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook as a family. We are planning another trip here in the future.

Perfect house
Loved the location, and closness of the beach. Only problem i had was the sliding door needed fixed but i could still pick it up to open it. Listing said all bedrooms were upstairs. Technically yes because the house is on stilts but when inside, you have 2 bedrooms downstairs and the master upstairs. I had a great time and will rent again.

2nd Stay, Location, location, location
Pros: This location is excellent. It’s away from all the tourist spots. Literally walk out the beach. Excellent views, large windows. 15 minute drive to the Seawall. The deck is huge, great place to watch sunrise and listen to the ocean. Large bedrooms, living space, and dining table. AC was great. Beds were comfy, lots of linen. WiFi and cable tv worked. Private parking. Cons: you can feel the house swaying, kitchen not well stocked (had to buy trash bags, dish soap, paper towels, cleaner). Deck has splinters and no shade between 1pm- 5pm. Will stay here again. We came to spend hours in sun, eat meals together and made memories.

Right on the beach, huge deck overlooking ocean. House was clean. If you want a clean no frills house on the beach this is a good one. The yard has way too much garbage blown in from the beach they don’t clean up, but otherwise no complaints.

some things missing
Good location. A few things to improve: 1. Not timely feedback on questions. Listing says there is a grill, the manager said there was not so we did not bring charcoal (there is a nonfunctional one there). 2. Listing shows a lounge chair, but it wasn't there. 3. The front storm window cover wouldn't open and blocked the view of the ocean. Manager didn't reply when I texted/emailed. 4. Front door should have had instructions on how to lock. 5. They use a service which wasn't very timely with answers.

Great location but needs major repairs.
First off we did enjoy our three nights in the beach house. The location and view is great. I read all of the other reviews and some reviews complained about cars blocking the view from the deck. There is a public beach in front of the property but it would take a 20 foot tall truck to block your view. The house is old and needs updating and some structural repairs. The floor in one bedroom downstairs is about to collapse. The lower bathroom has a high spot in the floor and the toilet is leaning to the right. The air conditioning system works good except for two of the bedrooms are a little warm. The house is well equipped with kitchen pots and pans etc. There is no Barbecue pit or grill so bring your own. To sum it all up the owner of this property needs to take some of his profits and put it back into the house. The house is fine as long as you don’t own it or fall through the floor in some areas. I would rent this property again if they would lower the price.Trash cans need to be emptied more often.

This rental was FAIR
Let's start with a positive and say the price was FAIR. The AC was GREAT and all the appliances worked properly. The house is located in front of the public beach parking so our view was not of a beach but of vehicles parked at the beach. There was sand on the bar top and the windows were blurry so we spent the first hour cleaning. There were no paper towels to clean with so we made a trip to the local dollar store. The BBQ pit is an Old Smokey with no legs and zero bottom so the pile of ashes are on the concrete floor. We would never even consider cooking on it not even roasting a hot dog. The pit is non functional. The BEACH UMBRELLA? HA, that is a joke. It is the size of a rain umbrella and it is not functionable even for rain. The garden hose downstairs has so many leaks in it that the water never made it to the nozzle. We used the leaks to rinse off. The inside of the place needs attention and the downstairs toilet is about to fall through the floor. Do not weigh over 200lbs or else you may end up downstairs. Overall, this place is FAIR and the biggest disappointment was the view of the beach being obstructed by vehicles. We will not stay at this location again.
