The property manager responded quickly when inquiries were asked, but the house reminded me of a Fraternity House. There was mismatched furniture, towels & sheets with names listed on the tags, unusable pots & pans & the perimeter of the house had not been cleaned. We will look for other options on our next visit.
We had a really good time at this place. It has lots of space and is literally 75 ft from the beach. You can walk between the houses in front of you down the path and be on the beach in 3 minutes. Everything was as described. I definitely recommend this place. Mike is a great host.
Home was just as described and there was room for everyone to sleep comfortably. Nice thing was there was plenty of hot water for all 8 of us to have nice showers. Good communication with owners before we got there. It was a nice quick walk to the beach which was wonderful. Washer, dishwasher worked great, clothes dryer not so good which was disclosed in communication. . Outdoor shower was a terrific addition! The beach was sandy and the water was wet, just as we hoped for! All in all we would recommend this rental to anyone and would love to go back! The SUN KISSED FAMILY
Kitchen had everything that we needed. Upstairs great for kid sleeping and play space. Location to beach was perfect. We all had a great time. Owner was very quick to respond to any questions before and during our stay!!
There were some issues but I contacted the owner and he is willing to make it right. We did stay there despite the ac upstairs not cooling below 76. It was hot. The downstairs ac was great. There was water dripping in one of the bedrooms onto the windowsill which I also informed the owner.
Property was pretty much as listed. We had everything we needed and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Would def use this place again. Property manager was AMAZING!! Very good communicator.
We keep returning to this place! We especially enjoy the balcony view and the breezes from the ocean - although it's second row, the ocean is SO close, you have a clear view of the water, you can hear the waves, there's a path to the beach, and it's close to the West End Marina, which has delicious food. That's why we'll be back in about two weeks!
We had a wonderful family stay; the house is conveniently located within walking distance to the beach. Our experience was both enjoyable and memorable.
The house was great! Plenty of room and super short walk to the beach. The house comes with lots of cooking supplies and was clean. I would stay here again, for sure!
Great place to have a beach get away that avoids crowded tourist spots. Very family and pet friendly, and fantastic access to beach.Home is well provisioned to allow cooking. We loved it!
Place was great! Host is attentive and fixed an issue with ac within an hr or so of reporting it. Great location, too. Mike takes care of his people. Check out the crabs on the beach at night if you go.
Nice location, spacious and comfortable, not so clean though.
We found dead roaches on cabinets and floor upon arrival. The dishes were so dirty we had to wash most of them before using. Found mold on the back of some pillows, which shows they had not been touched or moved for a long time. The towels were also so old and worn out. I understand these are issues that could have be solved pretty easily, had the owner inspected the house quickly before our arrival, and my point is a little more attention on the owner's part will go a long way.
On a slightly more serious note, the downstairs AC wouldn't get warm - we put it on 72 and waited for a good 30 minutes before turning it off (the room temperature was 65 at that moment). The heater upstairs got warm almost immediately upon turning on.
House was perfect for 3 couples to share with extra room for more! Everything you need! Mike is a great host and responded within minutes to answer any questions. House exactly as described. Canât wait to go again!
Had a great two day stay at this rental in Galveston. Loved that we were so close to the beach, and yet near stores if we ran out of anything. Would definitely recommend this rental, had every appliance and gadget you would need in the kitchen, and the beds were very comfortable. Will definitely be back.
### Stay Review
We recently stayed at this property and had a wonderful time. The large porch with its great view and sound of the gulf/beach was a highlight, complete with plenty of rocking chairs to relax in. The beach itself was fantasticâclean sand, good waves, and decent water quality, though still with that characteristic Galveston brownish hue.
The house was well-suited for our larger group, with plenty of beds and three bathrooms. The washer and dryer were very handy during our stay. We appreciated the access to streaming services on the TVs, though the channel selection could be improved, and one of the TV remotes was unfortunately missing.
There were a few minor inconveniences: the shower heads were a bit finicky to use, and per the ownerâs instructions, the AC couldn't be set lower than 73°F. While this temperature was comfortable during the day, we prefer to sleep in a cooler environment and would have liked to set it to 70°F. We also found a couple of dead cockroaches on the floor, but given that itâs the middle of the summer in Texas, this was somewhat expected.
Despite these minor issues, we found it to be a nice property overall and will definitely consider it for future stays.
It was our second annual vacation to Galveston.
We had a great time. The house is right by the beach way walking distance. The house was large enough for our family the showers were great, never ran out of hot water. Kitchen/livingroom was big enough for all of us to enjoy time together. Plenty of room for all of us to sleep in the bedrooms and upstairs bunk area.
Plenty of parking, we had 5 vehicles.
The only issue we had was the porch area was a little small for us to all hang out together outside, and the grill was very very small in like what the picture had shown.
But, overall a very successful family trip.
We throughly enjoyed our stay in this beach house, which was in a great location, very close to the beach. Easy to check in, plenty of room for people to spread out, and very communicative host.
A few notes:
-Sea Isle is about 20 miles from the main part of Galveston so do most of your grocery shopping as you roll into town to minimize how often you need to go into town.
-There arenât too many restaurants in the immediate vicinity so be prepared for that. However, there were two FANTASTIC food trucks literally across the street! One Mexican food and one with burgers and sandwiches.
-dog friendly! And my fur pup throughly enjoyed the stay. Thereâs an outdoor shower that made bathing him after beach days easy.
-if it rains, prepare for the area under the carport to flood a little. It drains off quickly enough though.
We would definitely rent here again!
In one weekend, we celebrated our son's birthday, our daughter-in-law's birthday, Mother's Day, and the gender reveal of our newest granddaughter. Location and this home were perfect for our needs. Everything listed on the property description was accurate, if maybe a bit more "well-used" than expected. We found everything we needed right at home to make this a great weekend. The layout of the house number of bathrooms, well-working AC, and all the other amenities made it a very easy peaceful weekend. In the location, simple, easy walk to the beach with no vehicle traffic was excellent! A great value and a great place to stay. Thanks!
