Galveston Vacation Rental - Steps to the Beach!

Reviews

• Another great stay!

  5/5

  We stayed here last year and had a great time then. We stayed here again this year and were so excited to see that this house has had some significant updating! It worked great for us then and even better this time! Kitchen has been remodeled and all of the kitchenware was organized and easier to utilize. The flooring had been replaced throughout (the house looked bigger inside!). And the hall bathroom was remodeled with a whole new additional bathroom installed (where once was a closet I think)! So much space, sleeping areas, and (3) bathrooms! Not to mention it is super close to the beach! We will continue to come here anytime we bring our family to Galveston area!

• Great stay in Galveston

  Private beach was great, friendly, secure neighborhood, clean, light, airy atmosphere in the home, pretty decorations, paintings, floor and wall colors, nice kitchen, happy surprise 3rd bathroom. The 4th bedroom was more like a 2nd living room with 2 twin beds on one side, nice, but not private, lots of covered parking, loved the outdoor shower and the ramp, as well as, a great staircase. Outdoor balconies had several nice seating areas, and 2 gates that closed nicely. The kitchen dishes and pans were very nice quality.One drawback.. the outdoor grills were too dirty to use, so we changed our menu. Stores and gas very closeby. The ac was great .. nice and cold in July! Seating areas were comfortably and plentiful for our large family of 13! Thank you for providing a lovely vacation home.

• Best location ever!

  3/5

  Overall for a family the property needs some updates, and some simple maintenance touch-ups. The stairs up to the front door have nails sticking out everywhere need to be hammered back in. There were loose spindles on the deck which my 3-year-old granddaughter stuck her head through very frightening. Ceiling fan in the kitchen does not work ceiling fan in fourth bedroom had no blades. Coffee pot was nice but only had a two cup coffee pot so first day coffee got spilled everywhere need a new coffee pot. The blender only had the base no top part for blending. Ice maker in the refrigerator doesn't work had to go buy ice twice a day. The sofa bed in the living room with disgusting I'll attach pictures no one would sleep on it so had to go buy an air mattress for the bedding. There were two grills for cooking both were unusable completely destroyed rusted out. The patio had lots of paint equipment and paint buckets scattered everywhere very inconvenient had to watch my twins constantly getting into that stuff. Master bedroom doesn't have knobs on the doors you have to pry the doors open and close. Think with some simple updates and a little bit of care the place would get five stars. But unfortunately with the inconveniences of simple things like no coffee maker no blender ceiling fans not working just a little aggravating. If these things were updated it would make all the difference in this property.

  Manager's Response:

  Hi Judy, we truly appreciate you sharing your thoughts about your recent stay. Your feedback is essential to us, and we've relayed your comments to the homeowner, who would like to address the following:
  - We strive to provide our guests with a great guest experience, so we were disappointed to hear your feedback and want to take a moment to address your concern.
  - We were unaware of any issues or concerns during your stay and wish you had reached out. We would have been more than happy to help and address any issues you may have had.
  - We have never had this complaint before. Although an occasional nail may pop up slightly, we are prompt to act and the handy man knocks them back down or replaces them with a new type of stainless steel screw that holds the step in place before any issues can arise. In addition, we installed the new rail system in March and had all the rail painted by April 7. The pickets are spaced 6" apart to ensure small children are unable to push their heads through. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and will follow up with our handyman for further investigation. We were confused by the comment about the paint. As mentioned above the rails were painted April 7th and all paint and materials were removed from the property April 14th.
  - We have two pots for the coffee pot, one which is 4 cups and the other is 12 cup Hamilton pot, we wish you had reached out, we would have been happy to help you locate the larger coffee pot.
  - We will further investigate the other items mentioned and replace or repair as needed.
  We do all we can to make the best possible stay, and we look forward to this property hosting many satisfied guests.

  The house was clean! The host made it easy to check in and check out. He assisted us with a couple of questions during and after our stay and responded in a timely manner. You can see the beach and hear the waves from the balcony. The house is just a quick walk down a paved road right down from the beach- we used a wagon to make our walk to the beach a bit easier. The kitchen came equipped with what we needed. Dryer and washer available too. We had plenty of room for everyone to sleep comfortably. We do recommend bringing your own pillows. We look forward to booking this home for our future Galveston stays.
