Disliked: Cleanliness

The location is good however the house needs to be updated and maintenance is highly needed.

When we got there I had to called twice so they could provide me with the access information for the house. Then when I entered the house was dirty and pee stain on the carpet and a lot of animal hair on leather coach. Moreover, the toilets weren’t flushing the beds were very hard and old. We literally had to clean and disinfect the entire house. This house need to be updated Completely and clean too. Not what we paid for. It’s not a a five star place is more like a two star. The location is good and the ocean view.

Beach week

Weather always hit or miss this time of year. Nice to sit up on deck when a little chillier. Place is older (especially for the price) but comfortable and in good working order. Location on beach can’t be beat but it is a drive to town. Nice there are a few places to eat and grab some groceries closer than driving all the way into Galveston. Family had a great week walking the beach and watching basketball games on tv together. Sand and Sea made sure to check in via email everyday, but we didn’t have any needs.
