Overall, the location, view, and amenities were all perfect. Here are a few things to keep in mind if you have littles. There were no baby gates but we will admit we did not request any because we missed the fact there were lots of stairs and ladder to a loft that of course was a fun place to get to if you are 2 or 3 years old. Therefore, keep that in mind. Secondly, the two decks are wonderful but there are only two Adirondack chairs on only one deck. The bedrooms which have wonderful views have no where to sit and enjoy the sea air and sounds. So bring your own chairs. Overall, the place is recommended. You won't regret it!

This Galveston Beach House was an excellent retreat for our family of 7. There was a lot of space where we could spread out, but also come together to watch a movie or play games at the large table. We were truly steps from the beach, which allowed us to take many walks along the water, swim in the waves, set up a net for afternoon sand volleyball games, and collect interesting shells throughout our stay. We were 20 minutes or less to attractions and shopping which was very convenient. We had an issue with the dishwasher during our stay, and the host promptly had a maintenance team out for inspection, and then replacement which was much appreciated. We would highly recommend this house for families of any size, and would stay here again in the future!

Host did what they could. Maintenance guy is the only reason for the star. One fully operational shower in the master bed room for 10 people. No hot water on the second floor. So we washed dishes in cold water and had a cold running shower. First floor shower worked for a bit. Then went cold, then would not shut off. I was asked to send video as if I was lying about the water running. The maintenance man drove through tornado warnings to get supplies from Lowe’s to get us as fixed as he could. That man is a saint! One of the messages I received said to try to turn on the hot water heater. The hot water heaters are in a locked closet. Isn’t that something the management company should have access to for the clients? Beautiful view and well located, just a bad weekend with added stresses of many people trying to get ready to go out to Mardi Gras events with one hot shower. One more thing: your cleaning crew should do a cursory check of dishes and utensils. We just washed everything before we used them. There was one exterior door handle broken. Mini blind broken. What looked like blood stains on the curtain.

It wasn’t right on the ocean, but we had a good view and it was a short walk to the beach. Probably the hardest thing for all of us was the large number of steps, especially in caring bags up and down. That’s about our age and not about the place. Thank you.

Portions of the beach can be seen from the rental but it is just a short walk to the beach. We enjoyed our time at the beach with a few others there at the end of September. It was wonderful. The house was clean and the A/C worked. Not all rooms have ceiling fans but our smaller party didn't occupy the entire house. The two smaller bathrooms could use a few updates and maintenance along with water pressure. Overall we enjoyed our stay and look forward to rebooking in the future. You will get your exercise with the stairs outside and inside. Currently the house across the street is under construction.

Large family beach house
Check in went fine. Small kitchen. Large burner on range don’t work. Maintenance concerns with dishwasher falling out, one of the spindles on the top porch was cracked, not good for children. Spindles on outside stairs loose, couch in poor shape, kitchen chair and table unstable. Bottom of bath tub seal open and rotting. Laminate floor coming up in kitchen near back door, sharp edges. Nails sticking up on the stairs. For the price, not a good value.
