The house was clean and organized. Freshly painted inside and out. The beach was 140 steps away. You had a lovely view of the ocean from the deck. The curtains are not blackout and I was glad we brought our sleep masks. There were only 4 of us and it was great. 2 living rooms would be nice for family with younger kids.

The good: The house itself is lovely. There was plenty of room for our group of 12, and though it feels less congested than Galveston proper, we were still close to things, including a Dollar General 4 minutes away. The house is a VERY short walk from the beach. You’re 12 minutes from town. There’s plenty of room for everyone to have space without feeling like you’re on top of each other. Mary tried to fix issues that we had and worked with us to fix our frustrations over things that couldn’t be fixed. Our problems were really a series of unfortunate events happening at the same time.The bad: Our problems were really a series of unfortunate events happening at the same time. We found out on our way there that we were a bed short due to the previous guest’s breaking it, but as discussed with Mary (who was amazing during this frustrating process), we made it work with a different sleeping arrangement. We had an unreliable fridge/freezer because it either wouldn’t freeze or was completely frosted over the entire trip. We had to go out to eat on nights we didn’t plan or make extra runs to the store since we did not have a trusty way to store food. Three of the four living room ceiling fans and one bedroom fan weren’t working. The living room ones got fixed, thankfully, because that room is longer and lacks air flow. Mary sent an electrician the next day to fix that, but he didn’t mess with the bedroom fan and took a working fan from another room because of a bracket issue. That issue was not re-addressed after I brought it up again. We addressed the yard not being mowed with EVOLVE, and it was handled the same day maintenance was there. All in all, I dealt with customer service via text, call, or email every day of this trip. That was frustrating, but my kids, who weren’t as affected by all of that, had a great time, and that is what I wanted to happen. I’m grateful to Mary for her patience and kindness. I know she was as frustrated as I was.

Our stay was awesome! Our family of 2 young adults, 2 Middle Ages, and 2 grandparents as well as two kids 12 and 14, and a dog enjoyed this house so much. The view was beautiful. Pictures don’t do it justice. The walk to the beach was shorter than we thought which was a pleasant surprise. The beds were cozy and plenty of sleeping space for everyone. The back tv room /sleep room with two twins does not have a door for privacy but worked perfect for the kids. Plenty of comfortable sitting space to enjoy hanging out The house stayed cool. We enjoyed balcony the most! The house was enough to town that we explored all the activities in town a couple of days and others we stayed enjoyed the more calm area around the house.

We loved this place! The home is decorated/ colored in such a cheery, inviting, user friendly fashion, with a unique layout that honors vacation "mode". The door that closes off back bedrooms/hallway is genius, as it allows the late sleepers not to be disturbed whilst others get up early, use the kitchen, etc. The home didn't appear to have been cleaned before we arrived, though. There was obvious filth, stains, spills, bits of food on floors, hair still in bathrooms, food left in bedroom, trash had not been emptied from the bins outside. Perhaps the turnaround time between guests wasn't adequate for thorough cleaning to be done? This lovely home has some updates that are needed. The wash machine, though very convenient and much appreciated, is likely ruined. No matter what you wash in it, or how much scented product you add, the items come out smelling very strongly of mildew, and it does not go away, so whatever you wear, you stink. Some of the drains in bathrooms drain very slowly, there's paint peeling up on wall in one bathroom. In bunk bedroom, the ceiling fan has no blades on it, and the ac/heat vent in ceiling is hanging sideways, about to drop from ceiling. Unsightly, but more so, a bit of an unpleasant accident waiting to happen in a room where likely kiddos will be the occupants. Just a bit of TLC, and a good deep clean, is all the home needs. It really is a very special, family friendly place, and we would return here in a heartbeat, and most likely, we will!

House was great. Plenty of room for all our family with separation when wanted. Beach is close and a private beach with no driving on so felt safe with our toddlers. Definitely will look to stay here again.
