This place says ocean view this is the view from our place lol. This place looks to have flooded and never been fixed The shower is 180 degrees with no cold water at all. Terrible place Way over priced, no view, old run down joint. Also can’t even check in until exactly 4 pm lol It’s in the ghetto area of Galveston also Save your money spend it on something on seawall

The place was awesome easy entry Ocean view just as advertised it was clean. Loved the fact that there was coffee for more than one for 2 days that was awesome and communication with the host was very timely if I had a question wasn't just a minute or two they replied that's a plus in my book don't know if there was anything I didn't like about the place would refer to family and friends and I would say again

Mardi Gras Stay

We had a great time. Pet Friendly location near beach and not far from the Strand is what we were looking for and this fit the need perfectly. Location is right on Seawall just before Stewart Beach. Easy walk to beach. We chose to drive to get to Strand for Mardi Gras, but the walk wouldn't have been that bad. The room is small but has everything you need. If you are looking for fancy, this is not it. But if looking for nice location with parking, this is a great option. Communication from host is great as well. Nice, affordable option for your trip. Would definitely book again. Thank you!

OK for the price

Small place but easy walk to the beach, drive into town. Clean but minimally maintained to neglected. The TV remote batteries were dead, the Roku TV can't be used without the remote. The owner's response was download and use the Roku app instead, no effort was made to supply new batteries. The AC unit remote was missing, owner asks us to look for it, we did, but it was gone. No fix was provided, we had to live with the AC current settings. There was no back on the right kitchen drawer, broken bowl was underneath where it had fallen out of drawer. The dead bolt was broken, only the door knob could be locked. I wouldn't stay in this unit, but if the other units were fully functional, I'd stay again in one of those.

These are old. Let's start there. But upkept somewhat decently. The couch was heavily stained and there was a great deal of dust. After a long day of driving, we arrived around 5pm. We unloaded our bags and headed out to dinner and for other activities. We were only staying the night as we had an early cruise time in the morning. When we got in that night around 930ish. The internet was not working. I tried a few things and finally gave up. I didn't call them as I couldnt have someone there that late - I have a 3 year old that was sleeping. The MAJOR issue though is that the next morning after we woke up to get ready - we discovered there was no hot water. Not even warm water. The shower would run cold water with 3-4 seconds of warm/hot water at a time then immediately back to cold. This made it impossible to shower in any kind of comfortable manner. After my husband's attempt, we gave up and had to start our cruise vacation with no showers. I immediately let the company know as we were leaving. They apologized and that was it. Once I got back to the US, I asked for a pro-rated refund due to the issues we had. They only apologized again and said they would follow up. A week later with no response, I reached out again. I got some canned response about maintenance only being able to be scheduled and mentions of painting...not even a single mention of the water or other issues. Stay away from Beach Box - they don't care if you get what you pay for or not.
