It was good. Great location. Beach was not crowded at all and can walk to the beach. Smaller than I thought and there was no place for us to all sit together and play games. It sleeps a lot of people comfortably. The whole house swayed and rocked a little in those stilts but was ok.

6 adults and 2 children fit nicely in the home. Excellent location, both to the beach and conveniences. House was well stocked with shower towels as well as every kitchen utensil needed. House was very clean overall. We did have to reach out to the management company during our stay (unrelated to the home itself) and they immediatly replied and handle the issue. Overall we will look to rent this house again for future island visits.

Beach getaway

House was super nice and steps to the beach. Enjoyable to wake up amd sit on the porch, look at the gulf and then take a quick walk to the beach. Short drive to the town was convenient with dining and entertainment options. Perfect size for what we needed to enjoy our beach getaway. Will be back to stay!

Fabulous location, cute house

Family had a fantastic stay. Beds were comfortable, house was in good order. We loved the location and porch, fire pit, etc. The beach location and access is perfect. Only negative was the slight musty smell in house and a few roaches in the kitchen, but those are somewhat to be expected in a beach house. Everything went smoothly and worked well. Highly recommend.

Great Location for pre-cruise stay.

Loved how close we were to some amazing restaurants (Willy's on the Pier and Sea Wall Cafe). Beach was beautiful and so close by. The house was exactly what we needed for our quick pre cruise stay. The owner was extremely quick to communicate with and provided a wonderful guide for the house and the area around. Would absolutely stay here again. Thanks!!

Quaint cottage near beach

Nice quiet neighborhood, 5 minute walk to beach. Home is small but comfortable. The cowboy pool was a nice extra after a walk on the beach. The place was clean and decorated nicely. A perfect getaway for our anniversay. The owners accept well behaved pets. Owners are helpful and considerate.and respectful of privacy.

Perfect Beach Getaway

This house was precious and perfect from it’s decor and amenities to it’s proximity to the beach. And, the property owner was kind and prompt in all his responses. We could not have asked for more. We really enjoyed morning coffee on the top deck with a cool sea breeze overlooking other brightly painted beach houses and a view of waves coming in. The beach is a very short and lovely walk from the house. We walked the beach in the morning, played in the ocean in the afternoon and enjoyed sunsets there every evening. Last but not least, the house is just a few minutes from Galveston’s main drag where all types of fun awaits. For all these reasons and many more, this house is the perfect beach getaway!

Rats, and Beach Box doesn't care.

We checked in for a seven-night stay but left after just two nights. On the second morning, we discovered rat droppings in the kitchen and living room. I immediately contacted Beach Box and sent photos.  Their only solution was to set up traps—an unacceptable response. I was not willing to expose my family to rats, even with traps in place, nor did I want young children around rat traps.  Despite managing many properties, there was no offer to move us to a rat-free property or any sort of refund. Beach Box left us on our own to find alternative accommodations that cost considerably more last minute. After raising my concerns, Beach Box went silent for a considerable amount of time, forcing me to chase them for a resolution. In the end, there was none. After about a week of persistent follow-ups, Beach Box finally offered a mere 120 refund for the five unused nights—completely unreasonable. VRBO informed me that, since Beach Box uses its own billing system rather than VRBO’s, my only recourse was to dispute the charge with my credit card company.Do your due diligence, look Beach Box up on Google, check out their Yelp reviews and their standing with the Galveston Better Business Bureau. Decide for yourself if this is where you want to spend your hard earned money and a risk you are willing to take.

pleasantly surprised!

I am notoriously picky but really had a wonderful time and would stay here again. The property management company does a great job and the house was very clean. The location is perfect - West End but not so far out that it's still convenient to eat along Seawall and get to Randall's to shop and grab a Starbucks. Really enjoyed walking along the nearby beach and the next neighborhood has a nice walking path as well. House is cozy and comfortable - big TV and comfortable couch. The kitchen is nicely stocked and I was able to make a dessert.
