House was as described. Communication was excellent. A/C unit was the best we have experienced during a beach vacation in Galveston. Host provided laundry soap, dish soap, dishwasher soap, toilet paper (not just a half roll when you arrive) and trash bags. We usually have to bring those items or buy them when we get there. Parking was a bit tricky but we made it work. There is still some work that needs to be done underneath the house but that would not keep me from renting again. Rooms were adequate for our needs and the beach is right out the front door.

This is a nice property and beachfront location. Pricey considering the small uncovered deck up top and the lack of any kind of deck or concrete foundation below. Definitely lacking if it rains at all as there is no way to sit on the deck due to lack of any cover to speak of. Flooring issues in multiple spots. Other than that, we enjoyed our stay very much.

The Salty Dog was exactly as advertised. It was clean, well appointed, and right on the beach. We had a question about check in but had no issue getting in touch with James and getting the information needed. All communication was great. They provided enough paper products and plenty of towels for the house along with kitchen equipment. It was a fantastic stay and we will definitely be back!

I wanted to give this house five stars, but there were a few things that made it less than ideal. I always appreciate honest reviews, and, while they were very responsive while we were at the house, the host did not reply when I shared these concerns after the trip. Pros: (1) Location! Great location, quiet beach, beautiful views. (2) Cute house with comfortable sleeping for 12 guests. (3) Very clean (4) Found everything we needed for cooking in the kitchenCons: (1) Water. It rained Saturday night of our trip, and we woke up to nearly shin deep water at the bottom of the stairs (the only way in and out) on Sunday. The water was there ALL day and was ankle deep when we were leaving for Father's Day dinner at 4:45 pm. (I had to swing myself around the banister to avoid getting my dress wet.) We looked at the other houses on the beach, and they were not experiencing the same flooding. They all had some sort of patio or decking, which this house did not. (2) Listing inaccuracies: Unusable table on the deck, missing chair in the living room, no hammocks, and the space under the house was unusable due to the lack of patio and overgrown weeds. (3) Walk to the beach was easy, but the path was poorly maintained. (4) Nailheads sticking out of the staircase (5) Flooring issues (6) No toiletries and limited toilet paper, kitchen towels (there was 1 for a 3 night stay), and garbage bags.We had a great trip, overall! But, for the price, I expected better.
