Last Minute Booking
We were having a terrible time at a local "big resort" and wanted to salvage/finish our vacation elsewhere. Looked on vrbo and found the perfect place for myself and 2 girls. Super cute little loft. Love the Strand area, so this was any easy choice. Just as described. Easy parking in front, walk to stores and restaurants. Only downside was the amount of stairs. We had a lot of luggage. Other than that we highly recommend!

Cozy place
The good - great location! Right in the heart of the strand. The reason for my 3 star review is that there is only one outlet in which you can actually plug something in the entire living room, kitchen/bed area. (not counting behind the TV where they are both being used and the outlet where the microwave pushed against it and plugged in there). The outlet is directly behind the sink. I use a cpap machine at night, you have to run a cord over the sink and you need at extension cord to reach the bed. Also, communication was so-so. Property manager was supposed to check on the lighting and never followed up with it. There is an outer door, which lets you into all the units — this door has been broken into, the jamb is missing wood and the door does not lock all the time. Garbage - no where to put your garbage!!! They tell you to take your trash with you but do not give you a location to put it.

Extremely loud drunks came in @ 2am -4:30am Sunday am. Lack of sleep due to drunks all hours awful.
Dirty pillows cases. Turn the pillow case over you’ll be shocked. Address the issue with management their reply. Did I look for extra pillow in the closet.
No apologies or answer my question, how are they going to resolve the issue. I would never pay $664 for two night again. Further guest beware!
Parking is limited.
BTW I even submitted picture of the filthy pillow case & no reply:
The air conditioner was leaking so bad that water was dripping on bed and floor. I cleaned up the kitchen floor, picked up wet rugs, and had to move bed a foot away from wall. Very hard to sleep with water dripping in trash all night. Owner never offered to discount or anything. Sofa bed is very uncomfortable. Our daughter and her friend felt springs in their backs all night.

Bigger than the photos appear
I picked the BeachBox Vrbo based on the pics on my phone. I thought it would be smaller. Think studio apartment with a nice, big shower. The host was also helpful when we wanted to extend our stay. All around exceeded all of our expectations and gave us a cozy home base while we toured around Galveston
