Jun 2, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, communication Disliked: Check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Not as expected This weekend me and family decided to stay at what we thought was going to be an amazing house. It was definitely not what was expected. To start we was supposed to check in at 4:00pm but as we are coming into galveston at 4:20 i received a phone call stating that the previous guest left at 2 hours prior instead of on time and the house was not ready. We was told by the home owner that the cleaners would not be there until the next day and we should cancel and book somewhere else. I stated that we was already there and didnt know if we would be able to book something so fast for 16 people. Magically 1.5 hours later i recieved a phone call stating that the house was ready and we could get in it. We get there and the key pad does not work. The cleaners let us inside and the listong and pictured do not show off the house. The listing states it ahs 2 sets of bunk beds 1 queen bed and 1 king bed as well as futons. It comes with 3 queen beds 1 set of bunk beds and 3 twin beds. The kitchen is un organzed and out dated. The bathroom down stairs you cannot put your leg between the wall and toilet. There is soft spots in the floors on the 2nd floor. The balcony feels sturdy but slanted instead of straight. The house definitely need and update as well as a slight makeover. Will not be staying here again and will not recommend it to any one. Honestly ruined the weekend ##### Bradon B. Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### JOSE LUIS V.

Nice big fenced in yard plenty of space to park trailers and bikes. And close to everything going on. Had everything you needed for a group to hang out and visit. The balcony upstairs was really nice and the front porch was a great gathering place as well. The bathrooms were updated very nice and the beds were comfortable. Could use some updated furniture and appliances but was not really an issue everything worked. ##### Bonnie W. Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mary C.

Aug 3, 2021 Liked: Communication Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Not as advertised Pizza boxes and trash on front porch. No Running water yes that’s right no running water. Filthy beds, likely not changed from the previous renters. 2 small window air conditioning units for a 3 story house. Did I mention no running waters. We of course did not stay there and had to go to Houston to find a hotel do to no vancancy in Galveston. Two families looking to spend time together in a mini vacation that got spoiled. The owner was nice enough to refund us 100% ##### RICKY C.
