Cute place
Very teen/kid friendly, our boys really loved the arcade games and the foosball table, also the fire pit was neat. The only issue I had really wasn’t an issue, we didn’t know the downstairs was in the listing as a bedroom. But we really enjoyed our stay and may be back in the future.

Great spot for a weekend getaway with your family!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay for the weekend. There was easy access to beaches all along seawall road. The house was good. It is split into two parts, which the description doesn't make clear. So, that was a bit of a shock for us when we arrived. If you have small children, you may want to know that ahead of time. The main house is small, but it worked very well for our needs. We are grateful for the time we had to getaway and to spend some days in Galveston at this location. We would stay here again!

Family Holiday vacation
The house was ok, but the separation of space made it difficult for my family. It probably a great space with families with teenagers, not so much for smaller kids. Then the mosquitos made it difficult to enjoy the outside. The Host was very responsive, which was nice. Also I didn’t like that guest are asked to empty the dishwasher, when paying a cleaning fee, according to the house rule book. Loading the dishwasher should be enough.

Mini get away
Exactly what we were looking for. Spacious house, quiet neighborhood, close to main attractions, and within an hour of Houston. Would recommend others to visit this place.

We enjoyed staying there on jolly Roger so much. If I had one thing to complain about it would have been the mosquitoes, which I know is out of anyone's control. We loved our get away. Thank you again

The house that did not drain
The house appeared to be clean until you took your shoes off then you socks were dirty. If you like taking a shower in your own water this is the house for you because the bathtub did not drain and the shower curtain has mold on it. There were dead bugs on the wall where someone had killed them and no one ever cleaned them off. If it rains during your stay the toilet will not flush all the way. Also you will need to wade in 4-5 inches of water to your car 🙄. The washer leaks. And the floor in the first floor was soft squishy and broken which make have been from either the water outside or the washer issue. Then the lawn service will come during a rain storm and leave grass everywhere from the water you have to wade in to blowing on your vehicle. The only plus to this house it had hot water. . The house is not really walking distance to the beach as it says. Also make sure you take OFF for the mosquitoes they will eat you alive. The “Master bedroom” the surround that is around the window AC unit is broken which allows mosquitoes in! This was not a vacation to remember!

Family Beach Vacay
It was 10 of us and we loved every minute of our stay. The host Russell was very responsive and the property had everything we needed and more. The teens as well as the adults love the video games, the pool two blocks away and the beach right up the street. We were close enough to Pleasure Pier to enjoy it without having to tavel a long distance but far away enough to relax day or night without the hustle and bustle. This property is perfect for a group with multiple age groups traveling together.

Russell responds fast!
Property management responds to every message super fast. I had to message them more than my usual VRBO though. It was last available in this area for this day and wouldn’t pay this much if I wasn’t desperate.

Great weekend getaway location
We had a great time. The beds were comfortable, there were plenty of dishes and pots and pans that came in handy. Unfortunately we weren’t able to utilize the top bunk on the upstairs bunk due to broken rails, but we made it work. The kids loved the arcade games and the adults loved the fooseball table. The fire pit was perfect for s’mores and the beach access was right across the main road. It was convenient, clean, and we felt safe in the area. The property manager checked on us the first morning to make sure everything was ok and if we needed anything. That was nice. This isn’t a luxury location by any means, but it has all the necessities of a place to sleep after a long day at the beach with the kids and a nice area to hangout at night to play games and have fun with the family!
