Galveston long beach weekend

Nice house just a few blocks from the beach. A few steps up into the house, but convenient for my father-in-law who has trouble with steps.

The location was excellent, with the seawall and popular businesses within easy walking distance. The backyard was a good size for our dog. The house was clean and the property management was very responsive.

House inside was incredible and had plenty of room. The only downside was the outside. The backyard was really tall and had stickers everywhere so we did not spend any time back there playing games or grilling. It had not been mowed in quite a while. The front yard was overgrown also and had stickers so I had to carry my dog across the street to use the bathroom instead of being able to open the back door to let her out back.

Lovely

Lovely clean home, with all the necessities. It’s located in a very convenient area, very close to the seawall and a corner store next door.

Great location. Close walk to the beach, which was great. The company that rents it out is not great with communication though. We had no WiFi for the entire stay. The tv’s worked for a bit the first day and then stopped. I reached out to the host, asking for the WiFi password and they never got back to me. So we had no TV or internet for the majority of the trip. Also, when we first got there, the owner answered the ring door bell and helped us get in touch with the company because we couldn’t get in. He was very nice and helpful. Once we got in touch with the company, they gave us the wrong instructions and then put us on hold without saying anything. The whole process was confusing and difficult. I wish the company that rented this place out was more responsive. Otherwise, the place was beautiful and the Seawall was awesome

Great home!!

Great home! Great location and parking. Adorable home with plenty of space for a family or even 2 families. We were a bit disappointed to find out that there was a fee to use the pool. When we read “community pool”, we did not realize there would be a fee to use it. There were also some ants in the home, but the owner answered very quickly said they would be there to deal with it. Small store across the street for basic needs. Walmart is about 15 minutes away off the main strip. Lots of food options very close. Super convenient. Overall a great home!!

The house itself was cute and spacious inside. We were upset when we first arrived, after a 6 hour drive, that the ac had not been turned on and it was like a sauna set at 94. So as we all travelled half the day in the heat of Texas with a toddler and 2 teens everyone was miserable. It was difficult to get communication with someone about the issue. After a few hours of dealing with that and getting the kids to Walmart so they could have ac whole the issue was resolved after FINALLY getting somewhere with communication. After that the only issue was ants, some big water bug roaches We assume were from the weather and no toilet paper at all in the house even street it states that there will be basic supplies for first 24hrs such as toilet paper, bath towels, trash bags etc. it is a good size house. Each room is good size for kids and teens or a couple. It is really close to the beach and some shopping, novelty and food places so you can walk a few blocks or a quick drive. We didn’t end up using the backyard but it was big and nice and great for families. Even had a cute little concrete area with a grill and picnic table.

The house was very clean had everything we needed for a couple days. We didn’t get the right code to get in but took about 15 min to get another. Never received a password for internet access. Everything here was really nice. Everything in the house worked. We did wonder about the frames on the beds they seem to be kinda cheap and not sturdy. The store next door was very convenient and people were friendly. Great location for shopping, food and to the beach.
