Mar 29, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Big Tuna Times Our family very much enjoyed our stay. The beach house is beautiful with plenty of space. Only a few minor details that would keep me from saying it was perfection. The room I stayed in happened to have a lingering smell of foot odor. Every other room smelled fine. After a few days it seemed a little better. As a family who loves watching TV in bed, more TVs in the bedrooms would be top notch. But a marvelous stay with ease of access to the beach! Go down to Allex’s fish market and get some fresh seafood to cook in the fabulous kitchen with your family. Fun times! ##### Klaire M. Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jerry K.

Check in was easy and the hose was very clean. The only issue was the front door lock was broken and you could not lock it. Also the handle was loose. However I would definitely recommend this place if you have a large group ##### Jerry K. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Janette H. Jun 27, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beach Vacay 2024 We were really pleased with our house! It was very comfortable and homey feeling! Not too far from the beach. We placed a grocery pickup order and picked it up on the way thru Galveston because there are not many places to get groceries in the area! I would recommend taking extra bath towels, kitchen towels, and paper towels, paper plates and throw away utensils. There were plenty of dishes and utensils but it makes it easier not to have to wash dishes as much! Besides there is not a dish drain and you only get 3 kitchen towels! I recommend bringing a dish drying mat. The bathrooms were very nice but they didn’t have any place to hang your towels to reuse them and the towel hanger by the sink was placed so low that you couldn’t hang a hand or bath towel only a wash cloth. All in all we had a great time staying at the Big Tuna/BeachBox ##### Janette H. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lena F. Jul 31, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely Family Weekend The home was beautiful, linens clean, and home welcoming. Beach Box was so responsive throughout the booking process and even upon arrival. It was great to find a place with all the king beds and en suites for all our extended family to have a comfortable space for the weekend. We went with the ordering pizza and catering route, so we didn’t really cook, but it looked like basic appliances and pots and pans were well appointed. Rented a golf cart which was great to get around. Beach access parking is right across the main road and easy to walk to, but golf cart was nice for the grandparents and trips back to the house as needed. No Keurig, fyi. We didn’t even check and all brought coffee pods, but there is a regular percolating coffee pot with filters. Outdoor furniture on deck was really nice and we spent a lot of time outside. Parking for more than 4-5 vehicles in driveway may be tight. We had 4 and fit comfortably. Awesome private pier for fishing in Sea Isle neighborhood with bait shop right there. Thanks! ##### Lena F. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Jarael C. Oct 17, 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful Beach Home, But Needs A Little TLC! This Galveston home is an ideal beach rental, and it was difficult to provide sucha low rating given its many positive attributes. The location is excellent, offering stunning ocean views and convenient beach access. The house is beautifully decorated with ample amenities, including a fully stocked kitchen, comfortable furnishings, and a lovely outdoor space for dining and relaxation. There are plenty of sleeping spaces, towels, and bathrooms available, providing guests with everything they need for a comfortable stay. Regrettably, our experience was overshadowed by a pest issue. We encountered roaches in the kitchen nightly and a significant number of gnats in the upstairs guest bathtub, making it unusable. While some of our group are from TX and accustomed to occasional pest appearances, the frequency and severity we experienced were beyond what is typical. One out of state guest even discovered a roach had traveled with them to the airport which was concerning. We understand beach locations can attract these critters but it made us wonder if pest control was a priority. Minor issues: pet hair on the downstairs couch and rug, the coffee maker required a deep cleaning to work properly, and the freezer door needed to be securely closed each time to maintain its temperature. While the home’s charm and amenities are appealing, the pest situation significantly impacted our stay which was disappointing. This is a great rental so we hope the issues are addressed for future guests. ##### Jarael C. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Double H.

One ceiling fan controller was missing- but my son found that he could down load an app to be able to use the fan. We could’ve used another couple towels- but overall it was a great stay. ##### Kim W. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Chara S.

Our only complaint was that there were no extra towels or blankets available. ##### Kippie H. Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sherry A.

The lint filter was clean ##### Sherry A. Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Lindsay J. Jun 22, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Nice house and good location We had a group of family for a quick weekend getaway. The house was very nice and great location with an easy walk to the beach. Managers were responsive and able to remedy a situation with the key on check in and they kept in touch throughout the weekend and leading up to our stay. We could’ve used more towels, especially since the dryer didn’t get hot and we couldn’t get anything to dry. Also, there are only sheer curtains throughout the house, even the bedrooms, so privacy was a little difficult and made sleeping in a little difficult, especially for our littles. Lastly, the upstairs shared bathroom had a tub/shower set up but no shower curtain so baths only in there. Otherwise, all the outdoor spaces were nice, kitchen had everything we needed, and overall the house was in good shape. ##### Lindsay J.
