Jun 4, 2025 Liked: Check-in, location Disliked: Communication Property location is beautiful. Property furnishings needs updating. 4 of the 8 dining chairs were broken and 2 fell out from under us. (we are not obese. I weigh 150 lbs and antiquated chair collapsed on me trying to sit down) Many other unsafe issues like naked uncovered GFC wires next to canal water and tandem power strips in a tangle attaching to the modem which appear 30 years old and required a hard reset of power strip to get power to modem. I have not seen these kind of power strips for decades. he kitchen sink faucet appeared to be almost disconnecting falling off sink fixture. Great views and loved being on the water. A minimal investment in fixing broken things and new chairs and or furniture would go a long way. This is the 3rd rental I've done on TIKI and its always a wonderful place to visit. I hope they fix things so I can go back. I have pictures of everything broken but would be mean to post them. ##### Karen S. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Adam R.

We actually stayed in this house a few years ago and were pleasantly surprised with the upgrades they have made to the kitchen. New countertops, new paint, and new appliances gives it a fresh new look! Although the decor in the rest of the house is a little outdated (but who cares), it is clean, spacious, comfortable and perfect for a little getaway.

Vacasa sent many updates and all the info we needed. The house is very clean. Its three bedrooms...one large master downstairs and a half bath and two small bedrooms with Jack n Jill setup upstairs. Beds are comfortable. Kitchen is nice, but there are ants in the kitchen and in the outside kitchen area. The location of the house is nice...it's at the end of the canal and in quiet area. There is a house under construction next door but we barely heard the construction noise. We brought a boat and were expecting to use the slip, but there is a boat already there (we think its the owners). I texted the local manager asking if it could be moved-no response so we just tied up next to the dock. Tiki island is really nice residential place, quiet and clean. There are a few minor repairs needed to some cabinet doors, and the decor is old fashion homey, but who cares about decor when everything else is great. We enjoyed the house and do recommend it. ##### Lisa G. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 2/10 Terrible #### Chelsea M. Jun 20, 2024 #### Location was great - NOTHING else was This house may have been generally “wiped down”, but it was definitely not clean. We had to scrub every single dish we used because all of them were dirty. The master bathtub has soap scum all over it and so did all the shower heads. The stairs that enter into the living room were swaying back and forth the entire time so we needed up having to solely use the stairs by the kitchen. Then upon leaving, there was a construction crew that showed up to FIX the stairs leading to the living room. If you all KNEW they were unsafe, why in the world would you allow us on them and not rope them off - especially as we were traveling with a child. The mirrored doors in the master bath was broken, the blinds in the living room were broken. The ad made it seem like there was a 4th bedroom and there wasn’t. The sleeping arrangements were pretty exaggerated in my opinion. You should be open on the listing that the “extra” queen bed is the living room pull out sofa. The location was the ONLY thing that made this even remotely worth it. ##### Chelsea M. Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Siming Y. Mar 15, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Okay stay but property condition not quite as pictures showed The property is at a great location, right on the canals and right next to Galveston island. The neiborhood feels safe and quiet, and the rooms are reasonably clean. However, I do hope to note a few things that would make me consider before booking the property again in the future: 1. The interior is notably dimmer than the pics shown. 2. The leather sofa set (master bedroom and 2 pieces in living room) are older than in the pics and honestly look dirty, the master living room also had a notable odor as we enter it which was likely from the area rug. 3. The coffee maker needs some thorough cleaning, there's coffee powder remnants floating in the water compartment, and the water intake spot has build-up and notable smell. 4. The property is advertised to sleep 8 but bed space already feels limited for us (5 adults 2 small kids). The 2 queen beds felt more like full size, and the sofa "beds" are not pull-out beds and simply otherwise too short for an adult. 5. There is a big crack on the top section of one of the mirrors in the master bathroom, we were a little concerned it might fall out and had to make sure the kids stayed away from that area. 6. This is probably evident from the pictures but there is no range hood or other types of ventilation in the kitchen, this would be somewhat limiting for those of us who enjoy still being able to cook ourselves when travelling on vacation. ##### Siming Y. Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Aurorita P., Katy, TX May 23, 2022 Liked: Check-in, location Disliked: Cleanliness, communication, listing accuracy #### Very disappointed with house and management company I do not recommend this house to anyone with a boat, people who go barefoot inside the house, people with sensitivity to dust, or people expecting to grill. The listing said there was a gas grill (shown in the pictures located in the garage). However, when we got there, there was no gas grill at all. The management company was informed, but we heard nothing back about it. The listing also said there is a dock we could use for our boat. However, upon arrival, we found the boat lift was not functioning and the straps were raised so that we could not put our boat in the slip and had to tie up to the outside of the dock. We contacted the management company several times with both phone and text, but were never able to speak to anyone who could help us with this problem. The black covering on the steps and upstairs deck discolors shoes, and everyone’s crocs ended up completely black on the bottom. Normally we use (non-marking) crocs on our boat, but because of the discoloration were unable to do so without leaving our boat filthy. The floors inside the house needed to be mopped. Everyone was barefoot in the house, and within half an hour, all the soles of our feet were black. The refrigerator smelled of fish. There is a lot of breakables and picture frames on the tables and dressers throughout the house. This meant there wasn’t a lot of free space to put our belongings on, and lots of places for dust to collect. The house in general is a darker than the photos on the listing lead you to believe. The master bedroom is very dark because the hurricane shutters are down and could not be raised. ##### Aurorita P. Stayed 2 nights in May 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stephanie C.
