Galveston Beach vacation home was perfect!

Wonderful Beach home just west of Galveston, Texas. Plenty of room for our family, comfortable furnishings, plenty of cooking utensils, pots and pans. Close to the beach and nice and quiet during the evening. Highly recommend this property for your Beach vacation.

Excellent stay near the beach

The house was very spacious. It’s enough room for the perfect family getaway or a weekend with friends. It’s just a short walk to the beach. You can actually see the waves crashing from the balcony. I was happy with how clean the house was and I would definitely stay there again in the future.

Nice house, good location

All in all, it was pretty good. There are some maintenance issues that should be addressed but it worked out good, even though we were supposed to have 10 people and only ended up with 6. I would definitely stay here again and hopefully they take the issues that i've sent them and get those taken care of. One thing I thought was kind of odd, there were no regular drinking glasses there at all, but there was a nice selection of pots, pans, even a slow cooker.

Good location and beach close by. House was not clean….from cracker crumbs under the sheets to mold on outdoor furniture…and it lacked basic amenities. Items were not set up as promised either.

Great house and Location

We enjoyed this house very much. We were in town to celebrate my daughter and her boyfriend getting their white coat in PA school. We had plenty of space for our family that was able to come along. Gave 4 stars because both trash bins were full when we got there and there is only 1 dish towel in kitchen. Honestly, other than those two little things the house was perfect. I would rent it again and will definitely recommend to others. It’s a great location and easy walk to the beach.

Island wedding

Son got married ... Wanted a place on the Island to be closer with room for 11 ... Had plenty of sleeping places with 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms were great getting ready. May want to bring a pot holder and a couple extra kitchen towels if you plan on cooking ... Other than that pots pans and cooking trays crock pot were all in place for use ... Only a block to beach for a beach day. Nice water view too ... Would stay again

Vacation 2023

This house is located just a block from the beach on a street that is not very busy so it made walking to the beach simple. The house itself was very roomy with enough sleeping areas for our family of 8. The Wi-Fi is a little slow but since we didn’t spend much time watching tv or playing on the phones it did not cause any problems. The AC worked well. The house had everything we needed. We will definitely be booking again.

Great home!! But subpar service!!

The home itself was wonderful!! Amazing proximity to the beach, with beautiful views and great amenities!! Unfortunately the linens, counter surfaces and rugs could have been made cleaner upon arrival. As well, the Vacasa client contact and customer service was not excellent. When we had some issues checking in, it took Vrbo (who we originally booked the home though) to contact Vacasa and eventually resolve the issues.

Very nice house, great location

The house is nice and spacious. Very well equipped. It is walking distance to the beach, and close enough to town for delivery options. We stayed with four couples and had plenty of room for everyone. The patio is very nice. Only drawbacks were the door lock, the code is very long and not very convenient, and locks each time you close the door. Secondly, the thermostats were locked out and very hard to regulate the temps. Both minor inconveniences, but annoying all the same.

Lovely spacious home close to beach with maintenance problems.

Good layout of home with comfortable furniture, decks & patio with comfortable seating & nice view of area. Problems with electronic stove, Keurig coffee pot, kitchen faucet reported to management. Old BBQ grills, propane grill missing parts, charcoal grill okay, no grilling utensils or lighter. Both outside large garbage containers were filled with fowl smelling garbage upon arrival. Need updated door information and instructions for TV.

Beautiful home, needs some love

This is a great home in a nice neighborhood, is close to the water and has a very nice beach. Living room has ceiling and wall water damage that has existed for some time. It happened that a very hard rain occured while we were there. Water came in the living room (also thru a canned light fixture) and under the primary bedroom door, and we moved living room furniture and put pans down to catch the water. Dining room chair seats need refreshing as they are nearly flat. One bedroom floor was sticky. The 10 digit code to get in was a bit of a pain and the door locked each time it was shut, so you had to have the code with you outside at ALL times. Also, the dishwasher leaked. To sum it up, we felt very disapointed with the arrangements. Not sure if the owners or property management needs to step up.

Beach House needs a little love but Vacasa needs to take a look at housekeeping and maintenance

I like this beach house. I’ve stayed here before but Vacasa’s management of the property is terrible. House was not clean- hair everywhere. Leaky washer. Malfunctioning entry which took a very long time to get resolved. No fun being locked out after hot time on the beach with babies. I really wish I could say it was good but this trip was a disaster. No more Vacasa properties for us!
