Nice place to stay
We had a great time.The pool is a game changer, it's a decent size and was great for entertaining all the kids ages 4- 13. Very close drive to the beach but we also found it walkable. Communication with the host was excellent. I believe other reviews mention this, but the game room is completely separate from the rest of the house. Also the main home requires the ability to go up and down a good amount of steps often. Very short drive to Galveston and all it's attractions but I preferred the low key, laid back vibe of Jamaica Beach. I would absolutely consider staying here again.

Best property I’ve ever stayed in!!!
This was honestly the best stay I’ve ever had the place was amazing and all the amenities were as listed and better.!!! The pool was amazing as was the neighborhood and neighbors. Super friendly and quiet. The view at night was the cherry on the cake.!!! Sitting around the fire pit while looking at the stars was the best. And for the kids they had an amazing park for all ages and even a basketball court. Overall 5stars across the board. Definitely a HIDDEN GEM

Family Vacay
We enjoyed our stay, it was very peaceful. The down thing is that there is not a grocery store near by. There is a dollar general but just not the same. Really close to the beach. Great privacy, loved the game room just thought that the stairs were inside the house, if wanting the room for the kids, its good for older ages or have adult supervision due to having easy access to leave the house. Kitchen was well stocked with dishes, cups, and silverware. I would recommend the house for the amount of beds, your own swimming pool, and privacy.

Great house…BUT
Great house and wonderful yard and pool. We are not real beach lovers so the pool was perfect. The first floor game/bedroom would have been perfect except that the only way to access it was an outdoor stairway that wasn’t mentioned in the description. The bathroom floor was in terrible shape with boards giving way. .,they have a major roach presence especially in the game room. Ice maker didn’t work, no can opener or hot mats in kitchen. Pool was great but lots of cleaning and upgrades need to be made

My family enjoyed the pool and gameroom. The house the clean, however, could use some TLC and decor. The kitchen needs updated cookware and appliances as it's not equipped to handle feeding 20 individuals.

July 4th celebration
The house has a lot of beds to accommodate families and the kids. It’s well Located on west beach and nice access to drive on beach that is well maintained and is mostly families. The house itself has a wonderful pool, but was a bit cloudy the entire time we were there even though they indicated the pool people had come by. The house itself is a bit worn out and the floor and bathrooms need updating. The pictures online made it look brand new. In addition, the kitchen wasn’t well stocked with mixing bowls and utensils needed for cooking. Normally with VRBO, we get our access instructions 24 hours in advance. Then they said by 3pm, and I never received an email. They finally texted the instructions to me.We enjoyed ourselves regardless.

Overall great family stay
Me and my family truly enjoyed this getaway. The house was spacious and had adequate towels. The kitchen did not have enough pots, pans, or utensils. This made it hard to cook. Also it has roaches in the kitchen real bad, especially at night. The fridge in the kitchen did not cool properly. Luckily there was another fridge in the game room. The pool was great! The neighborhood was quiet and super close to the beach. The mosquitoes were horrible! This was the worse part of the trip. Despite the overall cleanliness of the house and the pest problem we had a great stay.

Great house, the pool was the best part
Recent bad weather turned the beach water brown and choppy so we didn’t enjoy the beach as much as we had planned. The saving element of the trip was the pool which we all enjoyed. We had a great time sightseeing, shopping at the outlet mall 45 minutes away, mini golf, pizza, shaved ice, and hanging out. There were a few hiccups to the house: the fridge didn’t work when we arrived (the evaporator coils had gotten clogged I believe), but communication was great and they sent a repairman the next morning to fix it and it worked the rest of the trip. The house itself is beautiful. The game room downstairs is huge and the rooms upstairs are comfortable. I slept very well in the master bedroom. The skeeters were terrible but that’s Texas in June. I would definitely recommend the house for a midsize group of 16-20. Would stay here again for sure.

We had a blast staying at this location. The downstairs game area is a real bonus!!!! The beds are comfortable and the house is spacious. Communication from the management company/owner was prompt and they quickly resolved an issue we had with the internet. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.

We made it work for us.
We enjoyed this investment property home since it had a small pool/hot tub on the property and was close to the beach. However, I was extremely disappointed in the overall management of maintenance and felt a little unsafe. The stairs and both decks were rotting, had loose or missing banister spokes, a split-wood step, outside lighting on stairs and driveway were burned out or maybe missing bulbs. No electricity to 2 electrical outlets on 2nd floor at the snack counter. In the kitchen, there was no peeler, oven mitts, or measuring spoons, the silverware drawer had been repaired but barely hanging together, breakfast table needs to be secured from wiggling around, and a screw sticking up from a broken lawn chair armrest was unsafe. Since we had several little ones, it was a concern to me. But overlooking that, it was enjoyed and appreciated.
