Galveston Beach House w/ 2 Decks - Walk to Ocean!

Reviews

• Annual Family Trip

  4/5

  The house and neighborhood are both absolutely beautiful, clean, and SO quiet. Walks around the neighborhood at night were so peaceful. The house had plenty of room to accommodate our group, the kitchen was well equipped with more than the basics which was great for our early Thanksgiving meal. There also was a lot of beach toys/chairs under the house for our use. We were overall very pleased with our stay. There were a few things that were problematic that could easily be resolved with basic maintenance. The front, back, and downstairs bedroom door that leads outside are all extremely hard to close and must be locked in order to stay shut or they would pop back open. This was an issue for us with having little kids in our group. Anytime someone would go outside someone would have to stand by the door waiting for the other person to come back in so the kids wouldn’t run out which happened several times before we realized what was going on. The back gate that leads to the green space is also very hard to secure which lead to more escaping of the littles. Lastly, there is no cable tv which we were unaware of. They have smart TVs and we found out we needed to sign into streaming apps to watch anything. This wouldn’t have been an issue, however, when searching for very common apps, no result were found and the tv was painfully slow. We gave up fighting with it and bought a Roku stick at Walmart. The upstairs TVs also were a problem with no Internet connection.

  From the Owner: "Thank you so much for your kind words about the house and neighborhood, and we are glad you enjoyed your stay overall. We truly appreciate your feedback regarding the maintenance issues you encountered. We have already contacted our caregiver about the door and gate concerns and will ensure these are addressed promptly for future guests. As for the TV situation, all TVs are equipped with YouTube TV, so it seems someone may have disconnected it. I will follow up with our caregiver to ensure everything is set up correctly. Thank you again for bringing this to our attention, and we hope to welcome you back soon!"

• Best Galveston house we've stayed in

  5/5

  Clean, convenient, comfortable, beautiful, plenty of space. Great house in a great location. A short walk away from a nice, quiet beach. Easy access to all the stores and restaurants of Galveston. Nice view of the sunset from the back porch, along with a view of the beach down the grassy corridor behind the house.. Nice to sit on the back porch at night listening to the waves after watching the sunset. VERY clean, modern house. Easy communication and very accomodating host. Our favorite Galveston stay so far. Would love to stay here again. I would suggest the owner add a simple TV antenna to at least have some local TV stations on the living room TV, but that's really minor.

  From the owner: "We have YouTube TV and I believe it picks up all the local TV stations, maybe we need to have some guidance instructions."

• Great location & very comfortable

  4/5

  Outside Furniture needs major cleaning as well as decking & stairs. Bathroom faucets do not work properly in all bathrooms. Indoors is clean. It was raining on our second day & regular TV was next to impossible to get.

• Nice house and fun vacation

  4/5

  The house was great and the layout was perfect for our family to spend the Christmas holidays altogether. The only drawbacks were the cable situation (we had to purchase a firestick to be able to watch tv), the icemaker (undersized for the size of the house) and thermostats were hard to adjust...making it very hot in the bedrooms at night. Those minor inconveniences did not offset the lovely vacation we had in Galveston and will definitely consider this property in the future!
