New years stay
Some things didn’t work ( coffee maker, kitchen outlets, smaller oven). Everything else was great. Had a pac and play and high chair for the baby. Really could have used an elevator though.

Paradise on the beach!
This was a fantastic place to stay for myself and 2 other families. Plenty of space. Location was amazing...close to grocery stores and restaurants, and being steps from the ocean was great. A few things in the kitchen need updating. The dishwasher was broken: the shelves barely held dishes and the top sprayer was broken off and laying on the floor. The small oven and griddle don't light. A few fun board games and puzzles, but no beach toys...make sure to bring your own buckets and shovels! Overall was a great, relaxing, and fun vacation on the beach.

Spacious home, gorgeous beach location
The house was perfect for our extended family of 10. 6 adults and 4 cousins age 6-10. Each individual family had plenty of private space and there were 2 separate inside gathering areas to keep everyone comfortable and happy. The beach was an absolute highlight. The outdoor deck and patio areas were perfect. We purchased and/or brought our own beach toys, towels, and beach tent. Some of the furnishings getting a bit worn and though the oven was large, the main oven door didn’t close completely affecting cooking times//temps. Overall, the house and all its amenities met our needs well, helping us create a wonderful family memory of Galveston.

I rent this home twice a year. One with family and one with a bunch of old ladies. It is ideal, especially having 2 master bedrooms with baths on lower floor to cut down on stair climbing.

Perfect Get Away
Great location, it is 1 hour from downtown Houston! It is on one of the best beaches we have been to in Galveston. The house is right on the beach and deck is perfect for hanging out after the long day at the beach. We had 5 couples and we had plenty of space to cook each night and then enjoy the sunsets! The only thing we had a complaint about was that as mentioned in the other reviews they need to replace some light bulbs, but other than that we loved the house and we will be going back for sure.

Feel Secluded But Near EVERYTHING! BEAUTIFUL Home!
Great getaway for myself, Daughter and her friends who will be her Bridesmaids in 12/19...the beach felt secluded and was definitely not crowded at any point during the weekend...and we were only 10-15 minutes from The Strand, great restaurants and attractions. The home is immaculate and the bedrooms are perfectly positioned to give everyone maximum privacy. Amazing kitchen and gathering areas, triple decks with great views! We will definitely return to this property...already tried to secure Thanskgiving week but it's already booked! :(

Great Location!
Great location and the house was very clean. However the house needs to be updated as we had several issues from door handles falling off, satellite not working, clogged sink, broken dishwasher and ice maker, etc. Nothing too bad, but items that should have been handled prior to renting out. I would also strongly recommend a different management company. The lack of urgency from phone calls and the unprofessional behavior of Taylor left a terrible taste in our mouth.

Birthday Bash
Location fantastic-it stops there! We stay in Galveston every year with family and I do my research on the homes. We also stayed in another house on the same street as this one last year but we had more coming this year and needed a bigger house. I do normality leave a review. DO NOT STAY HERE! This home is stuck in 2004! No updates and dangerous- gas stove that wouldn’t light without using a long lighter. House filled with gas before we found this out. Safety gate at the top patio not there as in the pictures. We had small children that we had to make a makeshift gate for. Electrical plug fried and put the power out to 1/2 the downstairs.Electrian couldn’t fix it due to extensive damage. Management would not bring extension cords or help. We had to go in the pouring down rain to get equipment to help us through the next couple of days. Just a general unkemptness throughout the house. Debris outside from past repairs, cords hanging out of the walls, ladders and extra in the laundry room, dilapidated appliances. No way this home should have been a rental. If it didn’t fall in business hours Gary Greene the management company was no help at all. Out of the 20 years we have been going to Galveston-the worse so far!

Highly recommend
We are a blended family and had a large group to accommodate. The house was extremely comfortable, the kitchen perfect for cooking for a big group, the bedrooms pretty and private. The house looks exactly like the photos. The view of the ocean is beautiful and the water is just steps from the back deck. We had a service deliver chairs and a canopy to our beach every morning and it was just perfect. The location is great as it’s not too far from downtown Galveston and there are also a few really good restaurants nearby. Waterman’s and Coopers were both very good with excellent fresh seafood. The house is also a very short walk down the beach from a fun beachside bar; the Tipsy Turtle, where several of our young adult children would go for a drink and a few hours of fun. All in all it was a much better location than staying further down the island. We will definitely be back and won’t hesitate to stay here again!

Fun times
Everything was great! The house was beautiful and the floor plan was perfect for entertaining a large group. We would go back in a heartbeat. Only a couple of things I would let people know before coming...there is only 1 towel per person...so if you are like me and like one towel for your head and one for your body...bring extra. Also there is absolutely no spices in the kitchen...I know it is not the responsibility of the house to provide these things but usually there is at least salt and pepper...none of this is a complaint just an FYI to those reading for info to rent this house.

Disappointed
This property must have been photographed years ago! It is listed as a "Premier Property" and it just did not meet up to those expectations.... couch in main living room is actually coming apart. .kids were afraid to sleep in bunk beds because of missing slats...toilets continually stopping up (wondered why there were plungers in every bath room!?) Bottom of dishwasher was in pieces! Tub in one of masters is NOT for bathing...it is a hot tub for two people with faucets against back wall so you have to climb in just to turn on water...definitely not suitable for older adults. I actually hate giving this house a bad review, because it has good bones and great location, but just isn't maintained well .....

Our Family Vacation
The location was beautiful. Perfect area, little street noise, quiet, private beach, and amazing view. A few things about the house itself. None of the bathrooms are handicapped compliant. A wheelchair does not fit through the door, and does not fit into the separate toilet area. The listing says that there are minimal kitchen supplies, but there are plenty of large pots and pans,utensils, plates, and a Keurig. We brought our own not knowing these things were already there. Also, there are plenty of chairs on the decks. We brought several fold-up chairs also not knowing there were already several chairs available. We had several things either broken or not working at all.Both of the master suites on the lower level have lights above the bed that are not working at all. They both have jetted tubs. One of the jetted tubs does not plug up, so you can't fill it with water, and the jets themselves do not work. The other jetted tub does work, but we had to use a flat-head screwdriver to lift back up the plug to drain the tub. Several of the blinds either did not properly go up and down, and some were falling off of the top of the window pane. One of the bedrooms upstairs with one queen bed does not have a closet, and has a minimal dresser. We will definitely stay there again, these things were not deal breakers. But it would be helpful to update your listing to include these things mentioned so people can plan accordingly.
