Not very clean but good for large groups

Overall, our stay was okay. The host was very communicative, but did text a lot about wanting us to extend our stay or check in earlier for an additional price. If you’re wanting someone very communicative it’s a great place to stay for that if you don’t want to communicate as much this may not be the house for you. Upon arrival check-in was super easy. The location was close to the beach. It is in more of a sketchy neighborhood but overall was okay. The cleanliness of the house was probably, the main concern. We walked on the floors for not even a few minutes after arrival and our feet had turned black. We ended up going to the store to buy mop soap and a new mop and ended up mopping three separate times to get the floor clean, we also ended up wash and drying the rug because the rug in the living room was nasty. When we asked if they had a vacuum we learned that they did not have a vacuum available so that was a little disappointing. We also were a little concerned about the bedsheets because when we got into some of the beds, there were hair and sand in them. If you’re looking for a place to accommodate a lot of people I say this is a good fit, it’s spacious.The outhouse is nice if you have Littles that need to take a nap out there so that was a plus. If you have a large group a downfall is the bathroom. Only bathrooms are inside rooms so you have to walk into somebody else’s room in order to use the bathroom but if you don’t mind sharing than it could work for you.

Could Be a Great Stay With a Few Fixes

Our stay in Galveston had some great moments—the location was convenient, and the space itself had potential. We also appreciated the 200 credit offered by the host after we shared a few concerns.However, there were a couple of things that did affect the experience. The most noticeable was a large, uncovered hole in the ceiling, which was surprising and made the space feel unfinished. The rug in the main area also seemed quite worn and in need of a deep clean or replacement.We understand that things happen, and we appreciated the host’s effort to make it right with a credit. That said, we do hope the property receives a bit more attention moving forward so future guests can fully enjoy the stay it has the potential to offer.

Troubles galore

I don’t like to give negative feedback so I contacted management about a partial refund…no reply. So we had the following issues while here. 1. Main house refrigerator was not working upon arrival. Explained it was hot, not cool. Told to give it 24 hours. 2. Main house washer did not work. 3. Fridge and washer replaced in 24 hours. 4. Ceiling began leaking day of arrival. Notified manager. Sent pics of issues. Ceiling sagging, paint falling and toddler tried to eat some. 5 more than 24 hours later, maintenance main repaired the ceiling board, removed insulation, tacked up ceiling board and noted that it was a roof or ac issue. 6. Ceiling continued leaking the entire time we were there. We have had to clean up water, debris and messes. 7. Fridge in back bungalow doesn't shut well. Door stays open. Propped stool against it. 8. Replaced washer did not work well. She delivered statement was, not sure of this one is refurbished, good or not, let us know. We did…crickets. 9. maintenance man, this unit is having lots of issues, it needs an overhaul. Agreed. Not happy. Don't want to give a bad review but truly believe we should get a partial Refund.

Verified traveller

Overall, the stay was ok. It could have been cleaner. Several of the dishes we picked up to use, were dirty, and had to be washed before we could use them. The floors definitely could have been cleaner. After our feet turned black from the floor, we wore shoes the entire time. Three windows were open when we arrived, and the house was warm. The description of the house could have been better. We would like to have known that one of the bathrooms was outside the main house, and also has no door on it. There was trash left in house out back. The pool liner has several wrinkles on the bottom. The washer worked after we figured out we had to plug it in, and turn on the water. There was smelly trash in the cans outside when we arrived. They are located right by the front door, and they smell. Also, both bathtubs do not have stoppers, so you cannot use the bathtub to bathe children.
This is the trash that was left in the house out back, when we arrived.

Great stay in Galveston!

Great location and proximity to the beach. More than enough beds. Bathroom situation is a little odd. There is no common access point to a bathroom we had to walk through each other’s personal spaces to access bathrooms. Having a private pool is a huge plus. All maintenance team members that visited to check on the pool were very friendly and nice.

Nice Bungalow

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our trip. The rental company was extremely responsive and answered all of our questions right away! It had plenty of room for everyone and was stocked as described. The property is located just a short a short drive to see all of the island! The property has a great welcome packet that tells you what to pack, along with property info, and we found that helpful! The property was as described. Clean, a few bugs visited on our stay, but they warn you of that ahead of time when visiting Texas. The property layout was a bit odd, as there was no shared bathroom, and bathrooms are only accessible by going into someone else’s bedroom. We are all family so it was fine, but I imagine it could be awkward if traveling with a large group. We had a great time exploring all of the city, and we’re thankful we could come back to relax at this property. The hosts were great!
