Games would have been nice but none were supplied. No cleaning supplies whatsoever. There was a broom but no dustpan. Owner was quick to respond but very rigid in regards to number and ages of people staying at home. Entry code wasn’t provided until we arrived at the home. Would probably stay again. ##### Jo R.

Neighbors on right side gave a very unfriendly impression. Many warning signs. Neighbors on left were very nice. My family consisted of oldest 87 youngest 58. Not a very wild bunch. How I define tired - carpet was taped at top of stairs because it was frayed -poor taping job btw kitchen wood floor was splintering, deck wood needs repair, shower doors didn't close completely, a bit of shower mold in the corners, molding, flooring had gaps -poor finish job (not new work) . ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Samantha C. 10 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### much to be desired You can definitely tell this is a high volume rental. There are beds everywhere. However, there doesn't seem to be enough seating (living room), nor kitchen appliances to accommodate the amount of people this rental can sleep. I'd suggest adding a second refrigerator, bigger oven/stove. More comfortable seating outside on the deck would be greatly appreciated. the kitchen seemed to be very disorganized, but I guess that's to be expected. I thought the house was overall dingy compared to pictures. The flooring is overall awful, and half of the bathrooms need some work, in regards to stains and caulking. we had a nice time, but the physical attributes of the house definitely need some work. ##### Samantha C. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Candy H. 22 Mar 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Cleanliness #### Lots of little things added up to make our stay unsatisfactory but a beautiful house and location A group of 18 of us recently stayed at a beach house in Galveston, and while it is a beautiful property with great potential, my experience was marred by several issues that ultimately made our stay less enjoyable than we had hoped.Upon arrival, we noticed that several small details needed attention. For instance, half of the toilet paper rolls were broken, which was a minor inconvenience but indicative of a lack of upkeep. Additionally, we found trash left in the arm of a chair on the deck, and there were sticky red streaks on the kitchen wall that suggested it hadn't been thoroughly cleaned.One of the more concerning discoveries was a peeled, moldy orange in the main bedroom, along with dirty sheets on the bed. When we reached out for assistance regarding the sheets, we were informed that new ones wouldn't be available until the next day, which was disappointing and we had to wash them ourselves. Safety was also a concern, as the door to the house did not lock properly, leaving us uneasy about our travel documents and personal belongings. The most frustrating issue, however, was the inconsistent hot water for the showers. With four showers available, we expected to be able to use at least two at a time, but that wasn’t the case. One shower never got warm at all, making it difficult for everyone to get ready comfortably.While the beach house has a lot of charm and a lovely location, these accumulated issues made our stay less satisfactory. ##### Candy H.

Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Kaila B. 12 Mar 2025 Disliked: Communication, listing accuracy #### Do not book this home This house is not what meets the eye… the pictures are beautiful but its remodel is lacking. We had 4 families staying and it had the perfect amount of space. However it is not as advertised. We had plenty of hot water on the first day but the second day the showers were no longer working with hot water. We brought it to the managements attention and they sent some one out who said there was an issue at the showers and he needed to go get more parts. The tech never came back and then management told us that the water heater was working fine. We would only be able to shower one person at a time and have to wait 15 - 20 mins between each shower. This house has 4 showers and is supposed to sleep up to 22 people. If this is the case they need to look at getting an additional water heater. Given the fact that we had plenty of hot water the first day though I think management just didn’t want to address the issue. On top of that the decking at the boat slip is broken and unsafe. The listing advertised being able to use the slip but the boat lift was down in a way that made it impossible to be able to tie off. The house has several safety concerns when it comes a to having small children. There are nails that are raised on the steps the carpeting is loose, the threshold at the top of the stairs is large and a tripping hazard as it is just a 1x4 that has been nailed down. The management company did a very poor job addressing any of these issues and just gave empty apologies. ##### Kaila B.

Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Jewel S. 5 Nov 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication Disliked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy #### Lone Star Bike Rally The property is under renovation. The cleanliness of the home is not desirable. No kitchen towels or sponges, plaster inside cabinets, filthy oven and not the comfort of home. There are only 3 TV's on property and the owner should list that in the property description. The 3 bedrooms upstairs have no TV's. The door to the bedroom patio does not lock and concerns of missing deck planks. You are not allowed to use the supply lift. Not ideal with luggage and cooler. On the positive side there were plenty of beds for a large family gathering but bring books. Lol. The host was responsive. Not. ifesl ##### Jewel S.

We love the outdoor spaces, but house needs some serious love. Plank flooring has huge gaps making them stumbling spots. Master shower pan has been poorly patched making it uneven. Water takes 5-10 minutes to heat up and then is only warm. The house has so much potential as it is big enough to accommodate 20 guests comfortably. Wonderful memories have been made, but should we return we will look into other properties. ##### Noey Z.

Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Sue S. 9 Jun 2023 Liked: Check-in, communication, location #### Nice location but needs maintenance The property location is nice but the house needs some couple maintenance. The door knob is broken, some nails exposed on top floor, kitchen floor has some opening, ants and spiders found on bed, some of the bunk bed smelled bad. Need better cleaning. The listing pictures are not same as reality. The property manager is very responsive. Regardless all the issues, we had a great time and just wished the property is in better shape. ##### Sue S.
