Overall Great Stay

The house was great for our readers retreat, With many beds to accommodate everyone in our group to have their own bed. It was a group of 10 and not all beds were used. One room on the lower level was hot, it had an AC window unit. It did not bother us because no one slept in there but I went in there several times and it was hot in there each time. Two rooms were on the lower level separate fromThe house with its own entrance. That was sort of a downer for us because we wanted to be together, but it was OK. I must’ve missed that part in the description of the house, but it wasn’t a dealbreaker besides that the house is perfect for any questions and concerns I had I got a quick response from host. I would love to stay here again in the summer if they fix the AC unit in that hot room because I loved the amount of vets it has. I would recommend for big families and groups.

Wonderful Family Weekend Getaway

We had an amazing weekend at this rental! The property manager was extremely communicative and responsive after booking, prior to check-in, during our stay, and after check-out. The home was absolutely beautiful and spaciously accommodated our big family! I loved that we were able to have everyone under one roof. The kids enjoyed the amenities. The multiple decks and swimming pool were a huge bonus! Plenty for the family to do. The neighborhood was nice, clean and safe! Perfect location for families. We loved our stay at this home and definitely plan to return!

Pre-cruise

I had a large group of 10 staying the night prior to a cruise out of Galveston the following morning. The house was PERFECT!! It was clean, comfortable, and so cute! We just wish the rainy, cold weather weren’t a factor as we would have loved to spend time out by the pool or the beautiful decks. The house was wonderful and our host was very quick to answer my questions. A wonderful experience!!

Would stay again

There were certain details of the property that we didn’t like (fridge not working properly, mold in the building and in the washer, some furniture being damaged), but we overlooked those details and made it work. We still very much enjoyed our stay and given the opportunity we probably would stay there again.

Great house but dirty

Overall house and location were good but floors were extremely dirty, multiple cigarette butts on inside patio and outside deck and a used band aid stuck on the pool. Not sure this house was cleaned after the previous use.

We had a girls weekend and we enjoyed ourselves! We had the best time hanging by the pool and it was so relaxing! There was plenty of room to accommodate our group of 14 and the place was clean. It’s the perfect distance away from the city life but just a short distance to Galveston!

We had a great time, as always. Just a few tips I have: need about 5 umbrellas to have around the pool for some shade. The kids didn’t want to even get in it because it felt like a hot tub.

Not worth the money

The house was under construction and none of that was told to us a head of time. The house could use a fresh coat of paint and many update repairs, the window covering were ripped and lots of paint chipping. The bedding didn’t appear to be cleaned and if it was then it’s stained. We had 16 people stating there for 5 days and was given minimal paper towels, TP, and not cleaning supplies. When we sent to do laundry the drain was directly over the breaker box, however I did call maintenance and they came within 30min to direct the water to the other side or the house. Overall worked for us just not worth the spring steak pricing.

Good location!

Home was spacious and clean but in need of updating. It is a nice house that could accommodate 16 or 17 people. It was nice having 3 bathrooms. Coffee and pepper was provided, so you need to bring your salt and any other items for cooking. Even with its shortcoming, I would rent again if I had a large group with a boat attending. I was unable to communicate with our host, it was a Webb problem. I had to call the management office to get a key to the entrance, which was missing and had to use the janitor lock box. They were very helpful.

Good location, clean, needs updating and a minor fixes

The house is in a good location away from the craziness of downtown Galveston and a short drive away from beach access. The house has all the essentials, plenty of space, and is clean. We were able to fish and crab off the deck as well. The drawbacks I saw - boat dock is missing a few boards and dips in one spot - Master shower missing door. Shower curtain in it's place Would recommend for a quick getaway!

Great for family getaway

This property had everything we were looking for. We wanted something quiet, on the water, and great for kids to explore and have fun in the sun. This checked all the boxes. The property is actually not located exactly where we thought it was so we were surprised to discover it was on the opposite side of the street than where we wanted (we wanted bay side rather than shallow canal), but it was great. It worked well for our needs. There are plenty of bunk beds so it can accommodate a large group (two rooms downstairs with two bunk beds each) and three rooms on the main level one of which also has a king size bed and side room with two more bunk beds). Worked out well for our group!
