Disliked: Cleanliness
There were dried food stains on the counter, the shower stall was full of sand where it hadn't been cleaned. The master bedroom had no box spring and only a mattress on the bed. The nice sitting area outside the bedroom on the patio was nonexistent. There was only worn-out rug in its place. It was not as advertised, and the photos are very outdated. Reached out to the rental company and nothing came of it.

Dirty, misleading, and unhelpful. Nothing like the photos—dirty sheets in bottom room, bad smell, roach, awful bed, every dish had to be washed. “We’ll talk to the team” was the only reply. Note on fridge to contact before bad review—did, got no help. The Beach Box (property manager) has F BBB rating.

Amazing stay

We stay in Sea Isle every year and this house did not disappoint! Great location close to the beach and bar. Dogs loved the huge yard. The layout was perfect for us. Had everything we needed. The 3rd floor patio was great for sun sets. Would absolutely recommend this place Ava look forward to coming back!

Perfect location

The house is fantastic, there is plenty of room, the multi story decks are amazing. The house is just off the main road so walking to the beach only takes a couple minutes. I also appreciate the kitchen being stocked with everything needed to make breakfast. I especially enjoyed the coffee maker, it was very new and made a great cup of coffee. BUT the beds are so unbelievably uncomfortable! They were so bad it affected our trip. The last night my wife and I slept on the couch, which was a big improvement.

Nice place to stay for a Galveston vacation

This beach house has a huge fenced yard for children or pets, it's located west of Jamaica beach so it is a little bit of a drive to the seawall and other attractions, it is very roomy and comfortable and we enjoyed our stay and would keep it in mind for our next Galveston trip.

Sad trip, bad people

We booked this trip to visit family and be with our grandparents for some of our grandmothers final days. She passed while we were there dealing with this mess. None of the description is accurate, I swear it has to be a mistake from a completely different property. We had to pay for our dogs to go to a kennel because it is NOT pet friendly. The whole fence was down between the gate and neighbor side of the fence. Couldn’t even be temporarily fixed while we got in contact with someone who could fix it because the metal had bent AND rusted so it had been like that for a long time. It looked like someone cleaned up in a hurry but there was a fire still smoldering in the fire pit and we got there after 5 pm. Getting in contact with someone about fixing the fence was a complete joke. It was a person sending automated messages acting like they weren’t available. It was obvious though because they made the same misspellings every other word. It was so frustrating. So we had no choice but to make our dogs suffer that 20 hour drive and then pay for a kennel for the remainder of our stay. When asked to fix that and the washing machine because it was broken too, they said they couldn’t get to the house for 4 days because they had issues at other houses. Well I only booked 5 nights so you may as well not come at all. They told us that someone needed to be there when they got there, we needed to stay out of the house but not to talk to the third party repairman.

Great Experience - Short Stay

We spent one day and night at this property and very much enjoyed it. The fenced in yard for the dogs was perfect. The master bed was smaller than advertized (barely a full) but everything else was great. The property management and cleaning crew were also super helpful. We would stay there again!

Great stay! Great location!

Great stay & great communication from host. Washer/dryer made it very practical to wash clothes before leaving. The space is great and the new addition of fire pit and playground made the yard even more fun! Bring bathroom toiletries (shampoo, etc) bc that’s not something provided. Latches on doors are a little tricky, so locking bathroom and master bedroom was not easy, but we made it work. Overall a great stay!!

Needs updating

Very disappointed! Let’s start with the bed in the main bedroom, very uncomfortably and sits just inches off the ground. No TVs in bedrooms, no light switch in master bedroom. There are holes in the walls in several areas of the home. The property is in a very good location with easy access to the beach. This property would make a great vacation rental if the owner would invest in upgrades!! No ones wants to sleep on an uncomfortable bed on vacation!

could have been better

It's a cute house but definitely needs some updates. One of the chairs at the fire pit you couldn't sit in cause it was broken, the lights on the roof balcony most of them didn't work, the dishwasher wasn't working, the handle in the shower was broken. The washer broke with our clothes and water in it couldn't get it to drain made the downstairs room stink like dirty laundry had to wring out my clothes and hang them outside. Reached out about it at least 5 times through this app and their phone number they kept telling me someone was coming to fix it for two days no one came.
