We recently made our 6th trip to San Leon in 5 years while one trip was for a month. We have had different vrbo’s every time. But this one was the best. Great house, Great Location. Quiet neighbors. And the Host was on point. Strongly recommend!

Thanksgiving family Gathering
The Tranquil Home was the perfect place for our large family gathering. Our teens enjoyed the game room activities, smores by the fire while the adults fired up the pit for some good Texas style bar-be-cue. My husband and I enjoyed our morning coffee in the upstairs master suite as we watched a breath taking Sunrise. Although there were some inconveniences such as some of the appliances did not work and the plumbing had issues we were able to get through. All and all our family time was priceless and memorable.

Roaches
The Texas-shaped pool was the only star of the show—too bad it couldn’t save the rest of the stay. We reported roaches, but instead of addressing the issue, property management asked for photo proof, as if the roaches were camera shy. Trust me, they weren’t—they were bold enough to run across my arm in the middle of the night and hide under my wife’s pillow. A terribly installed 2-inch high tile transition injured my daughter’s toe, missing tv remotes, and the toilets and faucets seemed barely attached. The fridge in kitchen wasn’t working either. The boat slip / pier? Completely unsafe and unusable to walk on, with tons of loose boards, exposed nails, and no power, lights or water. We were completely deceived. Prior to making our reservation we specifically asked if it was usable and they said yes. Oh and if you enjoy being watched, the security cameras aimed at the pool and front yard area might appeal to you. If your main intent is to use the pier or boat slip, I would skip this property until they replace the property management company and invest significantly in repairs, safety and pest control. Overall, the place didn’t live up to its listing, and management’s lack of action and0 remedy didn’t help. They didn't seem to care. Since I'm unable to upload photos to my review on VRBO, please search youtube for 2341 Avenue A or Beach Box San Leon for photos and video.

A dangerous pier
The home is nice , awesome pool ,but we did have to get someone out to clean it ,very dirty one of the reasons i wanted to rent this place is because my mom loves to fish & I did ask the host about the pier prior to going and he replied back saying the pier was in great shape! That pier is not in good shape, my brother was the only one who made it on the pier , my uncle had to have help to get back My brother would love to go back if he could just fix the pier

VERY DISAPPOINTED!!! My family booked this place for my son 10th birthday. He loves fishing and swimming. We stayed at this place before and enjoyed it so we booked again even tho it was double the price. I confirmed with the host a week and the day before to see if the pier and the pool are good. The host confirmed and said it was good. So when we got there, the pier was unstable and broken and pool was dirty. My family , especially my son was so disappointed. He said it was the worse birthday ever. We didnt stay and left. I messaged the host and the office and notified them. They said someone will get back to me and no one did. The next day i called again and they said the same thing. Tuesday, i called and they cant do anything about it since it was checkout. So i basically paid for this property and didnt get to use the amenities and didnt stay. The trouble that we had to go thru for this trip and very disappointing that the host and Beachbox staffs didnt care about the situation. paid thifoe this property and didnt gs

The house was big and had plenty of parking. Everything was pretty clean. The host was very responsive. There were some minor issues like the full bathroom door was broken so you couldn't close it. One of the closet doors in the bedroom was broken and the door knob from the garage was also broken/loose. I told the host about these issues and said they would notify their handyman. Overall we had a good time.

This property was hands down gorgeous. There was enough room for everyone. The pool was amazing. The host was amazing. There was a few gnats, but it’s the beach so that was to be expected. Not so much of a pest to ruin our time. The pool is not heated and we didn’t mind at all. It was hot enough outside for us to just dive in. Honestly I miss this place already! I have been singing this property praises to whoever would listen, lol

Everything is bigger in Texas
The house was exactly as pictured. So much room, the views are beautiful! The only negative, we brought our fur babies and the back yard where the pool is, was not completely fenced as we were told. We came the 2nd week of February and were not able to use the pool due to cooler weather. The beds were fantastic! The home was clean and well put together. The garage/gameroom was awesome! Great communication with management. We would recomend Pier 6 and The Landry House for dinner out. Galveston Beach is a short drive. The private pier is pretty scary, but the guys went out daily and took a charter fishing trip as well. We would definitely come back! A good time was had by all!

San Leon Girls/Mom's Trip
We definitely enjoyed our stay at this San Leon home. The pictures and listing were very accurate, and the Owner/Host was very engaged and easy to reach. The property was also great and inviting, whether you are using the awesome pool or sitting in the back yard areas to relax. The only cons from our perspective were the following: the main bath toilet seat was fully cracked in half at the front so it was difficult to sit on, and even though the Owner was very responsive, no maintenance person showed up to replace it; kitchen could use a little TLC just from an aesthetics standpoint; we'd prefer curtains or blinds on all the windows that have none for privacy (especially when you're in an unfamiliar location); the upstairs deck could use chairs instead of one bench as the view is awesome - understand that this could be challenging due to wind/weather, so maybe ones that are permanently anchored would work; the upstairs bathroom door could use a curtain or covers on the glass panels (again for the privacy factor); the fishing pier is definitely rickety, so that is a "do so at your own risk" kind of thing. Aside from those minor items, everything else was lovely and we would absolutely stay here again. Look forward to booking our next trip here!!

First of all the property did not look like the pictures. Garden needed manicured, trees needed trimmed, house was not that clean, furniture needed updating, toilet seat was broken, saw some roaches, holds in the front of the house, pool was not clean, at the back door walking to the car there are some parts of the walkway that need repair could cause a bad accident also on the upper deck a board was broken. It was just not what I expected. I was very disappointed with location and look of house. Needs painting.

Would book again but !
First I want to say that over all this is a very nice house with a great pool. There where a few issues with the kitchen that I was not happy with. Cabinets and Drawers where dirty and we where having a family dinner so I used part of my time cleaning them. I also felt I had to wash all the items in the drawers. The kitchen need some repair on drawers that are broke. They have tons of flatware and plates but not much cookware and what is there is broke. I ended up buying a frying pan. The rest of the house is very nice and I had no other issues. Russell the house manager it very responsive to your texts and I was happy with this. The pool was fantastic and the upstairs bed room is beautiful. I wish the upstairs deck had chairs not a large bench. The bay had beautiful sunsets and sunrises. We are not fishing people but the pier looked a little unsafe but I grew up on this bay and you can fish lots of place or off the water front. There is a country park near by you can fish at if that is what you want to do. The back yard needs some maintenance but with the current hot weather in Texas that was not supprising to me. The front yard was great and it was easy to walk our dog. So I would rent this house again or from Beach Box. Hopefully they will get the kitchen fixed so it is a perfect house.

loved the house for the weekend! Room set up was perfect for our group and had all the amenities. The pool was great, we grilled, and went fishing off the pier. If you’re planning to cook for a large group would recommend bringing bigger pots/pans but there was some smaller ones supplied there! We had a welcome committee of a little stray cat who was super friendly and cute but did try and sneak into the house once or twice. Overall had a great time!

I didn’t mention it at the time (I informed owner upon us checking out), since we had a dog with us and pest control treatment could be harmful to the dog, but it seems like a roach infestation throughout the inside of the house. We killed/got rid of well over 100 small roaches, multiple large roaches, and multiple spiders all inside the house throughout our stay. I also had a large spider fall on me from the ceiling. Again, we didn’t mention it during the stay due to the dog, but did message the owner about it, upon checking out, with no response to that specific message. The stay was quite stressful due to the bugs, so we tried to spend most of our time outside. When we first arrived there was food crumbled up on the couch and dark human hair all over the living room floor. Probably the dirtiest place any of us have ever stayed, especially due to the bugs. We had to clean the entire kitchen ourselves when we first got there, as well as the living room. The pool company doesn’t clean the pool well at all (we watched). If you have kids or elderly people (which we did not) I would not recommend it if you’re looking to fish off of the pier because the pier is very unsafe with multiple loose boards, boards without connected support boards underneath, and one of the steps leading up to the top deck at the end of the pier is completely missing (very hazardous);We wore life jackets out on the pier and felt lucky if we made it to the end of the pier and back each day. (Out of space)
