Needs a couple repairs

Pros: super clean and cute! Comfy beds, towels and supplies, full kitchen, wagon was perfect. Cons: when i arrived 3 windows were unlocked. When trying to lock them i realize theyre broken. Felt Very unsafe despite cameras. Fan in bunk bed room didn't work. An issue they were already aware of but haven't fixed. Neighborhood is a bit sketchy. Sitting on front porch to relax then hearing a man on other side of fence screaming was not very relaxing. Workers all around the house even coming into the fenced yard as well as blocking off driveway. Paper towels and toilet paper were thin, cheap and useless. Had to buy my own. Overall cute house and great beds. But i wouldn't stay there again unless the window locks got fixed and bunk room fan was fixed. It gets too hot in that room to not have a fan. And its not safe to have unlocked windows in a neighborhood that seems sketchy.

Good Quality Stay

Loved the property, The house was in good shape and had several amenities that most places do not offer. Just like the description, was a short walk to the beach in a good neighborhood. Was also a gated property which helped everyone feel more secure. However, the gates were not automatic and became an incovniencne. Other than this was in our top three best stays next to two several million dollar homes we got to stay in. The price to stay at this house is certainly a pay less for more type of deal.

Cozy and close to beach

When we got there the construction that was going on made it hard to even get into the property. They left a loud generator running until about 4am that i could hear through out the entire house. The beach chairs and wagon were very rusty and falling apart, they need to be updated or kept somewhere covered and out of rain maybe? The house was nice and had everything we could have needed. The king bed was hard and pillows way too soft so i didnt sleep too well. The ceiling of the upstairs bathroom looks like it might have mold? I should have taken a photo but it's a huge black blotch above the sink close to the vent. Ants were also a problem outside and some inside. Overall nice house, my 7 year old loved the hoyse and wish we lived there LOL! And i liked the short distance to beach and restaurant around the corner

The kids enjoyed the place and we loved that we had to full bathrooms. We were able to park our vehicle under the covered area and close the gate behind it which made us feel extra secure and safe. Would definitely stay here again!

Awful night's sleep

The property is well-maintained and situated in an excellent location. However, we did come across some old dog poop on the side of the house, which was a bit unpleasant. Additionally, there is a bush near the front door that produces berries and attracts a significant number of flies, so we ended up using the back door instead. The check-in process was odd.... Typically, we receive the necessary information on the day of or the day before our stay, but in this case, we had to make a phone call to obtain the access code. However, when I called, the line only rang once, and I could hear background noise before someone finally responded after I said hello. Instead of a digital entry system, we were provided with a physical key that we had to carry around or insert into a lockbox. Considering the size of the property, it was a bit tight for me, my partner, and our two dogs. Nevertheless, it is nicely stocked with kitchen utensils and plenty of towels. However, the beds were extremely uncomfortable. Every spring and bump could be felt, making it the most uncomfortable place I have ever slept in. I once slept on the floor with just a blanket, and it was more comfortable than these beds. I would suggest that the company who owns this place consider investing in 2 or 3-inch mattress toppers to improve the sleeping experience. Additionally, it would be helpful if they provided a fly swatter to deal with the flies attracted by the bush near the front door.

Cute, convenient, clean, & quiet.

Was a perfect spot for the whole family. We walked to 4 different restaurants and a convenient store when we ran out of milk. There was a wagon to get all the stuff down the street to the beach and a pack & play with clean sheets when we arrived. It was comfortable, clean, & quiet. Would definitely stay again.

After a long drive we arrived at the property around 10:30 PM. My GPS gave me a wrong turn and I was unable to find the property. A quick call to owner was answered immediately and she gave me a correction to the directions. Thank you. After that our stay was great. Relaxing, one block from the beach and close to many restaurants. I only wish the master bedroom had been downstairs. Great stay.

Cute house, great location, few issues

When we arrived at the house at 3:45, the door lock was dead and still hasn’t been fixed like in other reviews. Texted, waited 15 minutes no answer, called no answer, got another number from VM and called, no answer, call back primary number, lady answers “ugh Hello!” Then hangs up before I can say anything. So I text again, finally about 10 minutes later she answers with where are you? I text her the property address and she responds with the back door lock box code for the key. Yay we finally get in. House is clean and kitchen has everything a person would need to cook. House is small but perfect for two adults and 2-3 kids. Tv in living room and main suite upstairs. None in bunk room. Dishwasher is LOUD so don’t run it before bed. Beds are platform slat style with no box springs, sleeping was rough. They were clean though. Landscaping has fallen into a mess and someone threw old diaper by the back door. we didn’t use the patio as it hasn’t been up kept. House was located in a quiet area and very close to a lot! Nice location. Tell the area is being revamped one abandoned house at a time. Night before check out I sent a text at 7:30 pm asking about where to leave the trash and where to pile the linens we took off the beds as stated in the house rules. There was a trash can outside that had another address spray painted on it and had trash in it and has laying down and full of water. Her response was “I left the trash can outside” no answer about linens. No answer when I told her about the trash can. So we just added trash to that can and left the linens in a pile in each room. Could be a great listing but needs a little help with communication and other items above.

A great birthday getaway

I came for a quick weekend alone with my dog for my birthday. I come every year with her and my daughter, so we are quite familiar with the town and Seawall area. The house is at the end of the street and only a few streets form the Seawall, so I found it incredibly convenient and easy to get to and from. I enjoyed a birthday dinner at Gaido’s, as they recommended, and it is a couple minutes walk from the house. It was beautifully and thoughtfully decorated and had more than everything you could need in the kitchen and bathrooms. Overall, a beautiful stay and I only wish I’d had my daughter there to enjoy the beautiful bunk beds and back yard!

Galveston Trip

The small cottage was just as advertised. It was clean, but could have been cleaner. It was very close to the beach. The issues we had were from the beginning as we pulled up to the house because there were no lights on, on the outside, so it was hard to locate the house. Then the passcode that was given to us didn’t work. We had to walk around the back of the house to a lock box to get a key. Apparently other people had the same problem, according to the reviews. The master bedroom was upstairs and the kids bedroom was downstairs. There were 2 locks on the front door but only 1 worked, so I didn’t feel comfortable leaving the kids downstairs by themselves. Then we found out that the fan in the kid’s bedroom didn’t work or have a tv. We ended up giving the master to our 2 children and we slept on the pull out sofa. This is not the first Vrbo that we have stayed in, so yes we weren’t happy with the situation. Other Vrbo’s that we have stayed at have provided breakfast items for us. They also had paper products like paper plates, utensils and to go cups. I also didn’t appreciate the cheap quality of the toilet paper. Every Vrbo that we have stayed at has had top quality items.

Lock didn’t work

When we got there, the code for the lock didn’t work. It was also, a different lock than the check in instructions. Silage was in the instructions, Kwikset was the actual lock. Called the manager and she gave us her code, which got us in, but when we went to leave, the code didn’t work and we couldn’t lock the door. Called her again and she didn’t know what the issue was, so she gave us the code to the key, which we used all weekend and locked it back up when we left. The house was good. There needs to be tv’s in every bedroom. Loved the location to the beach but the abandoned house next door was kind of creepy. There needs to be a remote for the gates. They were a pain. We just parked on the street and went in the front gate.

Good location

The best thing about this property is the location. It is a block from the beach and very close to dining and bars. The neighborhood is a bit sketch as there are a number of appearing abandoned houses, including the one next door. Nice add on is the carport is behind a fence so your car is covered and protected. Note that if you have dogs, as we did, the property has grass burrs in the lawn and you can't really let your dogs roam too much. We spent the first 20 minutes pulling them out with tweezers. Needs at least a tv in the master upstairs and a clock as there is none in either bedroom. It's a good price if you just want a place close to the beach and the bars.
