This is a cute, older little beach house right across the street from the public access. It’s about a 20 mint drive to the hustle and bustle, so it’s perfect if you’re looking for a quiet getaway. The beach wasn’t crowded so that was nice. We had some questions checking in, and they were quick to return our call even at 9pm. ##### Tina H.

Right across from the beach and not too far to the Galveston strip!! The place was clean and had all the ease of being at home. ##### Crystal B.

This home was absolutely perfect! It was clean, beautiful, and an excellent location! The house had everything we needed! The location was wonderful! We enjoyed sitting on the deck watching the dolphins jump in the Gulf. Being able to walk across to the beach was amazing! We will definitely be booking again for next summer!! ##### Chainie C. ### 4/10 Poor #### jose H. 9 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, location Disliked: Communication, listing accuracy #### Worse house. Worst house I had renter. We rent this house thinking that it would be a nice place to enjoy our vacations. As son I got there I noticed that it was a security camera place in the dining room pointing to the front door. When I called the manager,she told that the owner want concerned about the house and wanted to check it make sure body gets in there. I told her that I understand she wants to take care of her house , but I was not happy having someone whacking while I was there. I called the manager again, she told me that they will take care the next day they never called or show up. The manager blame VRBO about the security camera saying that VRBO was the one who had the idea of the camera. ##### jose H. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sandy H. 17 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Vacay!!!! Great time. Would rent again. ##### Sandy H. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Erindaile H. 4 Aug 2022 Liked: Location Disliked: Cleanliness, communication #### Good location, but a little messy & misleading listing The location of this place was perfect! We loved that the beach and street were both relatively quiet. There weren't too many people on this part of the beach, so it was easy to relax and enjoy. Some less than positive points: 1. When we arrived I tried to contact the company and it took over 2 hours for someone to call me back about my issue. 2. We arrived to a condo covered in dog hair, even though all the info we had received said there was a strict No Pets policy. While Coastal Waves, did say they would send someone back out, when we returned from shopping it was not much better than before. 3. We also contacted them about the fact that there was no remote for one of the TVs and they said we should just download an app to control it. 4. I feel like the listing is misleading when it says there is a laundry and half-bath "downstairs". While you do have to go down, you also have to go OUTSIDE! It's not like this fact ruined our trip, but it just feels like it is slightly deceptive to not mention that part. We enjoyed our stay and felt that the condo was well stocked with kitchen utensils, towels, etc. and the location was fantastic! ##### Erindaile H.
