Graduation/Going to the Navy Party

We enjoyed our stay here at this house. It was very roomy and we enjoyed the swimming pool. The owner, Mrs Brooks was awesome. She called to check up on us to make sure everything was good. We will definitely be renting this property again for future family gatherings.

Amazing home

We really enjoyed our stay. The home was very clean and decorated beautifully. The elevator came in great use for my son who has a disability and can’t use the stairs. The owner was very gracious and made checking in a breeze.

Great Place to Get Away

This property was the best. Very spacious home and yard. Really great place for a large group. The hospitality was the best. Plenty of everything you will need for your stay. It rained more than we wanted but still had fun in the pool and enough TV's around that no one complained. the house was very clean and organized. Wished we could have stayed longer. Thanks for a great stay.

Lone Star Motorcycle Rally 2024

We drove in from far & arrived at 2:30 at the location to see where the place was & as we arrived a lady was there and a bit rude yelled out that check in was not till past 4 pm and added the comment of unless you going to pay extra. So, it was not a warm welcome & to only come back at 4 pm and read the house rules that read that check in was at 3 pm. It was contradicting & already a sour taste to our start of our trip. The internet did not work and we were not able to use the tv's or the internet. The towels were a bit smelly as some of the pillows. It stated it had a heated pool, but it was not heated, it was cold- and no directions on how to work the heat on it. It did have an elevator that worked and was very useful to carry our luggage up to the rooms. There were plenty of rooms and beds to accommodate everyone. We were a small group of 6 that ended up staying so it was perfect space to accommodate everyone.

We Did A Cabinet Installation in Galveston and Had my Children and Grandchildren meet us There for the Weekend, The Home is Very Spacious and has Everything our Family needed . It Is Outdated needs A Facelift. It was Cold For the Weekend, and we Didn’t know how to Heat the Pool . We love the Layout of the Home , especially the Downstairs Apartment perfect for Our Tenagers and Grandchildren. We Will definitely do another Vacation there when it is Summertime. This Home has it All !!!

Ok

It was a ok house but one of the reasons why we booked this house is because of the elevator but it was broken and I didn't know anything about it until we were trying to get it to work and it didn't. I sent a email asking about it and was told it was broken. I had family that couldn't go up and down stairs so they were limited to downstairs. It would be nice to known this before hand. Also the the house needs to be updated. The beds were not that comfortable either. Be prepared to bring your own paper towels, trash bags etc. The pool was refreshing but make sure you have insect repellent. The insect are very bad around the pool. Also the pool could be updated too. We did have fun but at the elevator was very disappointing.

Great for groups or large families

It was perfect for our multi-generational family - 13 adults (one in a wheelchair), 1 teenager, 1 6yr old and 1 baby. Is well equipped for handicapped with safety bars in all three tubs and raised toilet downstairs. The elevator was great. The while unit was very clean and well maintained. Well equipped kitchen both upstairs and downstairs with a third refrigerator in the large garage. Garage also has extra tables that can be set up for large group eating or games. The pool is an extra perk that we really enjoyed. The six year old loved the slide. There are several beach accesses only a couple of miles away. Loved the long driveway which gave us plenty of room for parking since we come from all over the state and had as many as seven cars at one point. Would definitely use again if the opportunity arises.

We LOVED this sweet place!

We absolutely loved this house! We brought our church youth group here for 5 days and it was great. We had a group of 16 and it was the perfect size! The home was very well kept and clean. The pool was a blast and the boys loved shooting hoops out on the drive. The yard was huge, a great place to play a game of soccer or football. We loved to sit on the upstairs balcony in the evening and watch the sunset. It was super close to the beach, just a short drive away and had a convenient shower in the pool area to rinse off in when we returned. The owner was very sweet and helpful. She called in a couple times during our stay just to make sure we were enjoying ourselves and that we didn't need anything. My only recommendation would be to stock up the kitchen a little more, there was not an large amount of bigger pots and pans which made a bit of challenge when cooking for that many, but we made do. Will certainly be visiting this sweet place again!

Nice!

I told Ms. Rosalind that she needed to update her pictures on VRBO because the property is nicer than the pictures shown. She really worked well with me. My family who trusted us to get the property was pleased and asked us to look into planning to stay at the home again for the next family trip. The pool was truly heated. She didn't talk much about the downstairs garage room--very roomy with lots of tables and chairs. We didn't get to use the ping pong table because it was folded. Extra refrigerators that seemed ideal for storing fish if you go fishing--wont interfere with regular refrigerators. Only wish she had a vent in the upstairs kitchen--i was a little afraid of smelling the house. I would certainly stay again. Lots of extras.

INAUSCA Texas Edition Fiesta celebration

Big place just enough for our family and close relatives and friends. With 3 full baths, 3 refrigerators and 2 kitchens. Plenty of rooms to accommodate us. Other family members were having tents outside for the night because of the huge ground. Elevator was a plus for the oldies with arthritic pain. It was hot during the weekend, so the younger ones played ping pong the garage. We were supposed to play badminton and volleyball in the ground or yard, but it was too hot. This house rental is the only one I found which allows events. We had karaoke night and then dancing. We had so much fun knowing we were just staying there. The occasion was ‘Till morning the night’. Thank you Ms Rosalind Brooks for allowing us to check in few min ahead of time. This is highly recommended for a group or family get together.

Beautiful home with nice pool and lots of space.

My family (along with my sister's family) go on family vacation every year and we came across this property. The owner, Rosalind was very responsive not only with the initial booking but throughout the stay. The house was very clean. 2 stories that both had kitchens. An elevator, which was awesome, as we had a couple of people who couldn't climb stairs. The pool was very nice, clean and big enough for all of us to enjoy. The house is away from the beach which, for us, was not a problem. A lot of land very well trimmed and nice to sit on the porch with a good breeze. Every room had a TV. Even the big garage with tables to play games. In the back there was a huge BBQ pit which was great for our cookout. We had a lot of adults and never felt crowded. Only mention would be that the sixth room is more of a den in the bottom floor with a futon and pull out bed. That was fine but might not be if you are expecting the privacy of a door. All the other rooms had plenty of sleeping spaces though. I would certainly recommend this as a go-to place for vacation. Very Nice!

Felt "nickel-and-dimed" for basic supplies

Let me begin by saying that this is not the first place that we have rented as a family. This is the first time that items for basic needs were not provided. We had a conversation about not enough towels, and no trash bags, and you stated that someone would be bringing some. Apparently, this is a line that has been told to other tenants; no one showed up for them or for us, either. We ended up having to buy toilet paper, paper towels, actual towels, dishwasher tablets, trash bags, and cleaning wipes. The washing machine did not drain, apparently the cable bill had not been paid, as there was a notice on the tv to that effect, so we had no wifi or television. Only one shower had hot water. The bunk beds had little support; our teenager felt safer sleeping on the couch. There were positives: It was a very nice property. The pool was nice (although the filter needed to be cleaned, badly, which we did). It was great having 4 refrigerators, and ice makers. We appreciated the big kitchen and played family games at the large dining table. The garage area was perfect for hanging out after the pool. I just feel that expecting people to bring the supplies that we had to purchase was asking too much; who brings those things on vacation? It would have been easy to bring this up to a 4-5 star property, with a little more consideration. Perhaps you've had bad results with other tenants taking those things, I don't know. But all in all, we made the best of it, and enjoyed our stay.

Pros:Large property, elevator, pool, outdoor shower, large yard, parking, quiet location, 2 porches, numerous tvs, four refrigerators, cold a/c. Cons:Key to elevator was not available at check in. Had to travel 90 minutes get it. Wifi & television non existent first day. Downstairs apartment smell bad. Downstairs bathroom hot water difficult to get. One bedroom has double mattress on a broken queen frame. No lawn chairs for beach. Skillets in poor condition. More silverware needed. No grilling utensils. Bring your own garbage bags, kitchen towels, silverware, dish soap, & toilet paper-only enough provided for one day. No swim towels or laundry soap. Floors appeared unclean & bugs everywhere on arrival. Front storm door spring & back door screen are broken. Safety issue, tight metal spiral staircase right as exiting the elevator. Elevator is pitch dark unless button is held down. Waterslide water hose broken. Stickers in grass around pool. A/C controls are locked. Bugs are an issue. It worked for what we needed, but could have been better. Host issues can be fixed.

Surprised by the owner's lack of communication

Let me start by saying how beautiful the home was and very spacious. The garage was perfect for my family who loves to be outside hanging out. The bedrooms were also spacious and with multiple beds to fit more people. With that being said, my experience with the home owner was not so great. It started with the fact that I never received the code to the lockbox to get the keys to get in the house and pool. Her rules say that she will provide the code when you make the final payment, but that did not happen. The day I was checking in, I reached out to her numerous times and all the different ways I could. I never got a response until about 9pm the day of check in. Check in is at 3pm, and we arrived at the home at 3:15pm. When we got there, the cleaning crew was still cleaning the house from the previous guest. Luckily for us, they had an issue with something so they were delayed. Otherwise, we would not have been able to get into the home. The cleaning crew was able to get us the code to the lockbox, not from the owner, and we were able to get the keys to get to the pool. Except the pool was dirty! It was full of sand and bugs, so we cleaned it as best as we could so that our kids could enjoy what they came to do. The grass looked like it had not been cut for a while, which made it unpleasant to get to the swing set. Once the owner finally contacted me, she assured me someone would come clean the pool the next morning. The next morning, no one came, even after she said they would be there “in about 30 minutes.” The owner promised me a credit for our inconvenience, which I was ok with. A week after we checked out, she informed me that I would not be getting a refund because they couldn’t clean the pool because of the weather. If the pool cleaners would have been there at the time she said they were coming, they would have been fine because the rain did not start till after 2pm that day. After going back and forth a few times with her, she finally gave me a credit for a little less than she originally had said. I know all the other reviews talk about how great the owner is at responding, so this really surprised me.

It is what it is.

We chose this property for the Handicap access which worked well and was adequate in sleeping arrangements. We had 9 adults. 5 siblings and 4 spouses for a family get away. When we stayed there were no top sheets on any of the beds which we found odd. No water pressure in the Master shower, no hot water in the downstairs bath and the main bath upstairs didn't drain too well. The canopy on the upstairs deck doesn't work. Be sure to get the Property Damage protection policy because all appliances (except the upstairs stove, which broke while we were there) are old and could break at any time. It's been 8 weeks since we stayed at this property and I still haven't received my "refundable" deposit back. Ms Brooks is not the easiest person to work with. She hasn’t filed the proper claims for reimbursement and is holding the refundable deposit, won’t return calls or answer text messages. JUST BE PREPARED.
