Place was very roomy and accomated everyone in our group perfect. We had extra visitors like roaches and a huge RAT (not a mouse). Not too mention while taking a shower damn hot water would cut off and had too finish with cold water in all the showers. Floors were uneven and broken, someone easly could break an ankle.

Beautiful house but not clean
The house looked beautiful however the floors had not been vacuumed and the bedding had stains on it. The ceiling fans in the 2 bedrooms had not been cleaned in a very long time so couldn’t be used. When we sent pictures there was no action on the part of the management company. Seeing as the house is no longer on VRBO our guess is that they just don’t care anymore

Good Space
The house offered good space for family, but had lots of floor issues (cracks and divers in flooring). A breaker tripped and host never responded to help with which breaker was which. Had to relocate everything in the kitchen. Rooms were missing smoke alarms and some holes in walls. House only has one TV in living room. Check out instructions said not to use neighbors trash cans, but didn’t specify if the host had trash cans on property. All in all, was a great stay with a good sized pool.

disappointment
So we were told we could not check in till 4 to allow for cleaning...we checked in at 430 and they were still cleaning. The pool guy was cleaning the pool and it was green and cloudy. we were told it would clear up in an hour or 2. It did not we were not able to swim in the pool at all and i had 10 girl scouts very disappointed. The flooring on the first floor was also in many places not safe. There were loose and lifted flooring everywhere. The floor was horribly uneven and in one place there was a hole the floor under the rug. The Oven knobs were all broken and it made it difficult to cook meals. The ground floor desperately needs to have some repairs from a professional made to make the home safe.

Galveston Family Vacation
We enjoyed the house. It was clean and spacious. We had more than enough towels to use. The kitchen needed a few more pans. The pool did not get clean until the day we left. This was disappointing as we booked the rental because the kids love to swim. Overall, beautiful rental.

Totally Recommend
After being canceled by the owner of Cannonball Cove last minute, we searched for this property. It was great since the minute we walked in the property. The owner has great communication skills and is always aware of you in case you need something. We had no issues what so ever. My family enjoyed every minute spent there. I totally recommend and I am looking forward to booking again in the future. Definitely worth all the stars and would rate higher if I could. I am spreading the word back home and sending the link for recommendations.

My Review
Our family had a nice stay. The kids loved the pool and there was a ton of space. Our recommendations are as follows: we feel there should be more hooks in bathrooms and rooms for towels and bathingsuits. When we arrived the floors had not been cleaned thoroughly especially the stairs. Other than that, we had a nice stay

My family & I booked a last minute booking due to a death in the family. We we're throughly impress with the house. The house had all the things we needed. Mr Russell was awesome. He was very responsive to my questions & needs. The outside pictures did not do the house justice. We're already in communication for upcoming stays. Thanks for making our stay pleasurable.

Perfect for our crew!
Our group of 15 celebrated an early family Christmas in this beautiful home. We had plenty of room to spread out, the beds were comfortable, and the kitchen was a very generous size to prepare and serve meals for all our crew. The kids, ages 5-13, enjoyed the game room and loft area, and the weather provided one nice night to have a bonfire outside in the nicely provided fire pit. We did bring our own wood. Minor issues included missing key items in the kitchen, (corkscrew, hot pads, oven mits, cookie sheet, and salt and pepper), and some areas (floors and baseboards) that needed some additional cleaning. Overall, for us anyway, the weekend was perfect!

Perfect for a family gathering!
We rented the home to bring extended family together with an elder who “missed her family.” This was the perfect home to grant her that wish as well as provide a great getaway for our family! The children loved the video games and third floor dedicated to them and the adults loved the patio and open floor plan on the main level.

Girls getaway
The house itself is pretty great. Lots of bedrooms and beds and lots of bathrooms. There some basics you would expect that were missing: something to hang your towel on in the bathroom; something to hang your clothes on in the bedroom; an oven mitt; a corkscrew; a box of tissues; a bar of soap or body wash for the shower (each bath had one very small bar of soap for both the sink and the shower). There were no paper towels although they were on the list of things provided and the provided coffee was less than enough to make one pot. The oddest finding, however, was a recently patched ceiling in a downstairs bathroom that had not been painted and a floor covered in sheetrock smudges and footprints. This house could be fabulous for big groups and even has stuff for kids but they need to pay a little more attention to the details of staying away from home. The little things can make a stay!

Big House for a Big Family
This house is very spacious and beautiful inside and out. It’s very centrally located, not far from the beach/seawall or The Strand. The house was not as clean as expected upon arrival (bathrooms were not clean) and it sleeps 23 people but there is not even 1 pot/pan to cook with (glad I brought 2 of my own) and not many cooking utensils . There was everything else you would need in the kitchen. The pool in the backyard was a hit with the kids and the fire pit was also a nice touch. Communication with the owner/manager was great. Would definitely stay here again.
