Great house!
Loved using this house for a girls weekend. Loved how big it is and that there were 5 bathrooms! Listing is a bit outdated as there is now a stock tank pool, but other than that it's BEAUTIFUL and in a very quiet, gated neighborhood away from the hustle of the main part of the island. We will be back!

Great way to start our vacation.
We stayed at this location before leaving on a cruise. The house was in a remote but beautiful location. There was plenty of room for everyone in the family. The neighborhood was gated and passcode secured. We would definitely rent this location again. It is important to note that this house is on stilts which requires you to climb a large stairwell.

Beautiful Property
Our family enjoyed New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day at this beautiful home. It was perfect for my family of 5, my sister-in-law and her two children and my in-laws. There was so much room and every room has its own restroom!My husband is a chef and truly enjoyed the beautiful kitchen. There were so many things provided in the kitchen that we really didn’t need to bring much. The location of this property is amazing, our older son was able to go fishing so close to the home. We truly enjoyed our stay here and would definitely want to stay again.

Worst VRBO booking EVER
We booked this house to stay overnight before heading to board our cruise the next morning. After driving for 10 hours we were all looking forward to getting ready for bed. Immediately upon entering the house we saw trash overflowing the kitchen trash can, food in the oven, and a terrible smell. We thought that we were walking in on someone who was already in the house or at the wrong house. After farther exploration of the house we found every bed looked like it had been slept in and every towel in the house was used. We contacted the host who at first told us that the cleaning crew still had the house on their list to clean. It was after 8 PM. And they were trying to contact them. They were not willing to give a refund at this point. We literally stripped the beds are started washing sheets so we could at least sleep. We emptied all the trash, turned off the oven, and picked up trash throughout the house. After finding unclean hygiene practices throughout the house we found it unacceptable to even stay overnight. We contacted VRBO and they said we would get a full refund. Beach Box responded after VRBO that they were still trying to get someone out to clean but did agree to give us a refund. Beach Box’s representative was not helpful, apologetic nor sincere about the whole incident. VRBO was very helpful with us getting a refund. We ended up staying in a hotel room a couple of miles away. Not a good start to our trip. I would strongly caution anyone from booking a Beach Box

House on Anderson Bay.
Great house. I enjoyed the open living room and kitchen. The dings besides the constant cold wind was the oven did not work 100%. It kept losing temperature and was wildly under powered. I am guessing the circuit it is on is not enough amps. Made for a crazy Thanksgiving and 3 days of cooking. We managed and had a great time but... The rooms were clean and big. The water heater suffered the same fate as the oven as I took some cold showers but it woke me up for sure.

Would not recommend BeachBox Vacation Rentals
The house was lovely and we were excited for a two-night stay. Upon arrival, the lockbox was unlocked and the guest key was missing. As instructed, I unlocked the housekeeping key instead, but didn't have to use it because all four sets of doors were unlocked. The home had been left unsecured for an unknown period of time. I let management know it felt unsafe. They said they would look into it. They did not. I next let them know the locks were corroded, and with much effort was able to get three of four sets of doors jammed locked. I let them know the house was unsecured, I could not safely stay the first night, requested a single-night refund, and had to find a hotel at extra expense with an hour's notice after dark. They refused my refund. I did not stay night one. The next day, I submitted more requests for maintenance updates, and was sent a video for how to lock the door type, which wasn't the issue given the locks were corroded and had to be jammed with force. I sent additional requests for maintenance, each with a vague "We will look into this for you" reply, until one that read, "We will have it checked today." They did not. No one ever came. I took safety measures into my own hands for the second night, asked again about a maintenance report, and the question was not answered. I was sent their standard checkout process details with no further info. Though the house was lovely, I would never recommend this company.

Owner does not honor VRBO policy
Be very cautious renting this house from Russell, he does NOT abide by VRBO’s posted policies. We were scheduled to stay at this property from 7/9 – 7/15 for a Dance competition in Galveston. Unfortunately a hurricane hit right before our arrival. The competition we planned to attend was going ahead as scheduled despite the storm so we were still making the trip. We are from South Louisiana and are very aware of how much a hurricane can affect an area so I was not surprised when Russell contacted me and said we could NOT check-in to his property. I was understanding of the situation having been in hurricane damaged areas myself. I asked if it was possible for a later day check-in so we could still make the competition. After not receiving a response we were forced to pull out of the competition. Due to the storm, VRBO has instituted their “Extenuating Circumstances Policy” which states that the property owner “Must refund the guest in full if they have not checked in to their reservation”. Despite the fact that he cancelled my reservation, Russell has refused to refund any of my Rental Payment, telling me to contact my travel insurance. In addition to him being the one who cancelled my reservation, the final invoice he sent for the rental states “Cancellation Policy: According to the cancellation policy on VRBO.” Apparently this is not the case and this owner follows his own policy despite stating the opposite on his invoice. I highly recommend looking and staying elsewhere.
