Trip to the beach
We loved the cleanliness of the home and the convenience of it located right off the beach causeway. We enjoyed walking the beach and eating out at restaurants close by. The only improvement I could see to the place is an updated coffee maker with coffee pods plus a wall mirror in the main bedroom. Just loved the color scheme of the home.

Weekend in Galveston
The house was a great older home, probably built in 40's or 50's. The updates were nice, all modern. It set very close to the beach and several restaurants within walking distance. I would definitely book it again.

Galveston Get Away
This little bungalow was very, very clean. We enjoyed being close to the ocean and within walking distance to restaurants and sight seeing. There were some problems with the HVAC system and the amenities were less than expected. We had to purchase everything down to the salt and pepper for meals. We would recommend anyone from 2 to 4 people to stay and play in this home.

Charming Cottage
The cottage was super close to all the fun restaurants and the beach was just across the street. Only negative would be the odd smell (think it was due to all the humidity). But overall supernice.

This house is almost across the street from the beach. So convenient. Cute and spacious but we didn’t have a porch light the whole time we were there. I did call and was told a report would be made and they would fix it the next day but didn’t happen. The bathroom outlet didn’t work as well although there is a hair dryer available. Overall had a great time in Galveston and I do recommend staying here.

Owners need to replace carpets and bedding bad
Carpet stained, couch stains , bedroom stains need new linens need to launder the bedspreads parking was so tight you couldn't even open the door in the parking space. Otherwise the cleanliness of the kitchen and bathroom was good probably would be good for college students. Not recommended for handicapped people and older people

Zero customer service
We were unable to access the property because the key pad didnt work. The customer service rep gave me multiple pin codes but none of them worked. I expressed my concerns that the key pad may be the issue and didnt feel confident that it would be reliable. I asked for my money back and the property owner said my issue didt justify a refund. So we didnt stay at the properly we paid for and had to pay for a hotel and they kept my money. Highway robbery! Never using this service again.

Cool house
My wife and I really liked the charm of the house, we both grew up in 100 year old homes. The location is really good, can walk to the beach and easy access to the main road. There are two issues that should be addressed immediately. First, my wife is disabled, so the step in shower was priority. While it is a very cute shower, it is extremely slippery, and has NO grab bars. Second, the boards on the front porch are broken and rotten and need to be replaced IMMEDIATELY, especially in front of the door! Parking was not fun. The gate post to the driveway is completely rusted through and should be replaced. Our rental vehicle was a very tight fit in the drive, but that cannot be changed. The kitchen was not very well stocked, even the dishes were put in two different cabinets so it looked like more. I found a can of old coffee and a few filters. Some salt and pepper, and that was it. There is mold in the house, kitchen and bath. There are 2 microwaves, and the one that works is very low power and not much good. The TV remote was sticky and disgusting. I washed the case before I used it. In other VRBO's we have stayed in there is a Guest book for people to sign, and is always fun to read. No Guest book here. Also, other VRBO's will have some form of notebook listing nearby restaurants, hospitals and Urgent Care, churches, grocery stores, area attractions. Also the WiFi information, customer service phone number is listed. No such notebook. I have pictures too.

Great stay!
The house was great. The location was just as i had pictured it from the online photos. Was worried it would be too busy there, but the house is perfect distance away from Seawall Blvd where we could walk to the beach and the shops if we wanted or we could step away from all the traffic. Its not right on the beach but we could hear the ocean.
