Overall, we were pleased. The house was clean, we had plenty of towels and it worked for our group. The only negative is that it's an old house and Galveston was going through a cold spell which made it difficult for the furnace to keep up. ##### Lisa T.

The kids loved the pool and there was a ton of space. Our recommendations are as follows: we feel there should be more hooks in bathrooms and rooms for towels and bathingsuits. When we arrived the floors had not been cleaned thoroughly especially the stairs. Other than that, we had a nice stay ##### Daniel V. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Juanita M. 3 Nov 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location #### Rally Place was very roomy and accomated everyone in our group perfect. We had extra visitors like roaches and a huge RAT (not a mouse). Not too mention while taking a shower damn hot water would cut off and had too finish with cold water in all the showers. Floors were uneven and broken, someone easly could break an ankle. ##### Juanita M. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Gary C. 3 Aug 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location #### Big space with problems The space is as big as advertised with a decent pool. Floors are pretty uneven but I would assume the wood has seen lots of moisture over the years. The property manager was pretty responseful to most problems except one that would probably freak most people out. I had to kill several roaches throughout the stay so there is a pest problem. I believe there is a rodent problem too. After waking up to cook breakfast on day 4/5 days we discovered 3 brand new bags of bread which had been sealed had been chewed through with small holes so we had to throw all of them away and buy new bread to cook with. We kept the place clean. Cleaning all dishes by hand and sweeping up every day. Which was another huge inconvenience which was not taken care of. We had a group of 18 people and the dishwasher was broken. They sent someone to fix it but the part needed never made it there. I asked for something in return for both of those huge inconveniences and there was nothing in response. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/eeaf8149-58b2-439a-b274-cabf71b94e4b-1754201355396.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/d76642f4-8af9-439f-a76c-7016b9e2df78-1754201355468.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0a75165a-1300-4c87-bb9c-223697796506-1754201356732.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Gary C.

The beautiful home is spacious open and has an elegant style that really makes you feel s if you are in a 5 star hotel. The winding stair case the spacious bedroom the open kitchen and all of the amenities made our weekend stay a memorable one for years to come. Our group had 16 ladies and we all had enough space to move and fellowship and the gorgeous bathrooms made our stay well worth the research we put in to finding the perfect stay for what we were needing. The team replied promptly and kindly to my many emails and we will definitiely recommend and share with family and friends who need somewhere to lodge in Galveston. Beautiful home. ##### Veya H.

Its beautiful and spacious, but eits an older home with weak floors. Holes in the floor were covered with rugs. We noticed after dinner roaches come out of nowhere. We cleaned the kirchen swept and wiped down the counters. My fiance woke up in the middle of rhe night and found rat droppings on the counter after we cleaned up after our meal.

No smells in the house and no plug-in to mask odor. The neighborhood was quiet. The AC worked great and the kitchen equipped okay. The decor nice and no complaints about the beds to me. There are as ample room for the family. Easily can fit the max. The pool and game room a plus. More towels could have been provided. Only one towel a person provided. More blankets could be provided. Only the sheet and quilt on the beds provided. The floor inside was dirty. After getting our 9 month old out of her walker, her footies were very dirty. The floors are uneven with one area very soft. The mop left behind was so dirty and brown we didn’t touch it. Upstairs you could see mold in the shower and the hard water buildup. The sectional could use a deep cleaning or replacing. The vents on the ceiling were very dirty. The lawn people came before checkout. The BBQ pit dirty. Overall the place was fun for us. For the price and amenities in the house I’m not sure if I would stay again. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/939eb68e-c57e-47fd-98c1-b24fe583ab24-1753462160573.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Already damaged upon arrival.](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/d44f150e-b47f-4471-9b1d-0a0116f315b4-1753462176976.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/885674a0-7b8c-432c-a3c0-39b003dcc33d-1753462181083.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Mary I M.

Plenty of room for our party of 19. The only thing that was bothersome, was the house echoed and was kinda noisy with a bunch of teenagers. But it was nice and clean and we enjoyed our stay. ##### Stacey S.

The house is in a great location, walkable every where! Huge rooms, great kitchen and outdoor area. Ten of us had a great stay! Fun game room and pool for all to enjoy! Great host! ##### MyVisit M.

The ceiling fans in the 2 bedrooms had not been cleaned in a very long time so couldn’t be used. When we sent pictures there was no action on the part of the management company. Seeing as the house is no longer on VRBO our guess is that they just don’t care anymore ##### Kristin F.

Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Joseph F. 16 Sept 2024 Liked: Check-in Disliked: Cleanliness, communication #### Good Space The house offered good space for family, but had lots of floor issues (cracks and divers in flooring). A breaker tripped and host never responded to help with which breaker was which. Had to relocate everything in the kitchen. Rooms were missing smoke alarms and some holes in walls. House only has one TV in living room. Check out instructions said not to use neighbors trash cans, but didn’t specify if the host had trash cans on property. All in all, was a great stay with a good sized pool. ##### Joseph F.

Great for a big family. The pool is an extra luxury at the beach. ##### Mary C. Stayed 6 nights in Aug 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Miki G. 24 Aug 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location #### disappointment So we were told we could not check in till 4 to allow for cleaning...we checked in at 430 and they were still cleaning. The pool guy was cleaning the pool and it was green and cloudy. we were told it would clear up in an hour or 2. It did not we were not able to swim in the pool at all and i had 10 girl scouts very disappointed. The flooring on the first floor was also in many places not safe. There were loose and lifted flooring everywhere. The floor was horribly uneven and in one place there was a hole the floor under the rug. The Oven knobs were all broken and it made it difficult to cook meals. The ground floor desperately needs to have some repairs from a professional made to make the home safe. ##### Miki G. Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Betty W. 31 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Galveston Family Vacation We enjoyed the house. It was clean and spacious. We had more than enough towels to use. The kitchen needed a few more pans. The pool did not get clean until the day we left. This was disappointing as we booked the rental because the kids love to swim. Overall, beautiful rental. ##### Betty W.
