Aug 22, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Great Soace for Large Group Modern and updated inside with many beds, a fun game area, and plenty of bathrooms for a crowd! This property was the perfect place for our big group of 12 in town to celebrate an A&M graduation. It was both close to the A&M campus and The Strand which made it a convenient place to stay. Russel was extremely communicative and was always quick to respond, even checking in to make sure our stay was going well. There were a few items that were usable but damaged (leaky coffee machine, bunks in the game room were squeaky and wobbly, a couple faucets usable but loose). Other than these smaller issues and tight parking for our two cars in the rear, the house was perfect for our purposes and an overall good value for all it offered. ##### Michelle E.

NOT CLEAN. The house looked like it hasn't ever been dusted or mopped. The kids had their shoes off while in the house and their feet were black shortly after. So much dust and crumbs all over the floors. The fans packed with dust and I wasn't for certain we slept with clean sheets. The bathrooms we're clean. One of the games in the game room was broken. It got the job done as far as a one night stay but wont be booking again. ##### sarah h. Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gabi H.

Nov 4, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### One night before cruise Upon arriving and realizing that we had to drive though between 2 places so narrow you had to pull your mirrors in. No turn around room. Master on 1st fl. So hot and couldn’t keep door open not enough rm. It states 5 bathrooms and you would assume in the bedrooms but only 1 was, that was the reason we booked .Other doors wouldn’t open all the way. Kitchen nice, living rm nice. It would not be enough rm for more days. Patio was nice and we didn’t use the pool. ##### Wanda R. Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Helen Z. Dec 3, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location Disliked: Communication #### Good Overall For one night The house is old classic Galveston, but very nice inside. The mattresses on the beds are very uncomfortable and cheaply made for one night. We were fine. Parking turned out to be OK, but I got very little response from the building managers as he said our cars would be towed. It is impossible to rent a house for 20 people and not be able to accommodate at least four cars. As it turned out, you could park on the street and there’s enough space in the back to fit three cars easily. The property manager never communicated this to us in fact, made me worry all the way. One game was completely broken and the other didn’t work right someone left a load of towels in the washing machine and they had been there so long they were dried up and stinky. But again, we only stayed one night. There are no extra towels, blankets, throws or sheets in the house if somebody wants to sleep on the sofa very few blankets. ##### Helen Z. Stayed 1 night in Nov 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Elyse C. Jan 2, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy Disliked: Location #### Security not prioritized? We stayed overnight here before our cruise out of Galveston Port. None of us had ever been to Galveston, and I can't say we were impressed with the area - at least the area the house was in. But the biggest issue we had - was a big HUGE one: The backdoor to the house has a glass paned door. One of the panes right above the lock, had no glass and had been duct-taped with some cardboard- It appeared as though someone had broken into the place! Right before I starting writing this review, I took a look back at the listing/previous reviews, and I realized the broken door had been an issue for another guest back in OCTOBER! Our group was so uncomfortable with the lack of security, they would not sleep downstairs (right next to that door), and they made sure there was a barricade against it before going to bed. Bottom line is- I would 100% find out if they've fixed or plan to ever fix/replace the door, before considering staying there. The only other thing I noticed that I would say needed addressing is the downstairs master bathroom's shower was a literally a trickle of water. We did order take out from Mario's and had great pizza! ##### Elyse C.

We agreed to the replacement and it was an upgrade from the price of the original house that we booked even though the location was a ways down the island towards Jamaica beach. We checked in and the house was fantastic and everything was going good until we woke up the first morning to find that the Heat on the first floor wasn’t working and it was about 50 degrees in the house. Long story short, we contacted the property manager and he was able to dispatch a maintenance man out who replaced a faulty thermostat. The rest of our trip was fantastic. I guess the reason I am writing this is because we had several bad things happen on our little vacation, but Russell worked with us to make sure that we were taken Care of and we still have a great time. I think a lot of people would have complained about how their vacation was ruined by unexpected issues and would have drooled over the opportunity to write a scathing review about something out of anyone’s control.Thank you Russell for helping make our trip memorable. Five stars ##### Larry H. Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Valencia R. Aug 2, 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A Sad Stay at the Beach The property was dirty, it was not as described, it was not large enough for twenty people, except for spots in beds. Many of the listed amenities were not on the property. The house was right on the street, the outside of the property had broken glass outside, no 4th bathroom, no fire pit, no playground, no garden, the parking situation was horrible and I felt like we would hit the house next door, every time we left the property. The only couch was old and too small and there was no dining table for a family and the pool had sand all in it. The stinking trash cans were outside the front door, two faucets were hang by a water line or something. There was no curb appeal and the porch and windows and doors were dirty. The last night our grandson got wet from rain dripping from the ceiling and rain came in the living room window and the carpet got wet. All of the bunk beds had terrible mattresses and were squeaky and our daughter had to sleep on the couch after the first night. The stairs were steep and dirty and there were only 10 of us and we were on top of each other. Such a disappointment for our once a year family trip. No response about how our host it going to make it right and it looks like VRBO does not care either. onprice was too much for such a pitiful and ##### Valencia R.

Pool was nice and great for our group. Driveway entry was terrible, if you drive a big truck it won’t fit in the back. The hosts were great. Only major complaint is the floors were so dirty, we had to wear shoes at all times. ##### Heather Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Teresa B.

The house is large with plenty of beds. We had 10 adults and three children. We loved sitting on the front porch and watching people go by. We would stay again! ##### Tracey E.
