Graduation Weekend

Lots of family that had to travel across the country to visit. It was awesome. We so appreciated having a place to cook and stay together and catch up. You just can't do that in a hotel. I so appreciate people who share their homes! This was so pleasant to just see the ocean from all decks!! Loved it.

Nice get away house!

Stayed for a couple nights, most bed were not comfortable at all very hard other then the mater bed room beds. Floors seemed unswept and needing moped when we arrived. Couches and seats were very stained and dirty as well. Seems like the need new cleaning people. The view of the house wasn't bad and the distance walk to the beach wasn’t very far decent distance. Elevator was locked off, one of the garage doors wasn’t able to be open and came unscrewed from the wall. Overall decent place for a get a way trip!

East End Gold!

Beautiful home in a quiet, private gated community on the East end of Galveston, this was just the right place for my family. We've stayed a number of times on the west end, but there was nothing like being just a few minutes from downtown and also directly on a private beach. The elevator, bedroom layout and customer service made this home exactly what we needed.

Great Place!

Wow, we couldn't have asked for a better location. Steps away from the beach, super easy access at the walkover, and very well maintained. The home is clearly pretty new, and all of the furniture is like new, the beds were comfy and the owner is very responsive! All of our questions were answered within a matter of minutes which is pretty rare based on my experience. The elevator was a big plus, highly recommend!

Didn’t live up to listing

Pretty rough all around house. Generally it was clean enough but things like broken windows, a dehumidifier aluminum taped in kitchen, no cooking pan, no broom etc. also the number of towels was severely lacking and the back door did not lock (broken). It’s wasn’t the worst stay but there was a ton of room for improvement. Water filter on fridge didn’t work either.

Just Okay

The property looks different in online photos—furniture-wise. The house was pretty but unclean. The bar stools did not fit the "counter-height" bar—I couldn't put my legs under. The main room furniture was filthy, and there were no comfortable chairs. In the bunk room next to the master, the shower handle and faucet were broken, and the window was shattered. We left a day early because they house was uncomfortable.

Family fun

Website needs to be updated. The house is not as close to the beach as they say. The house does not over look the ocean, it overlooks a public drive to the public beach! Liars!! Housekeeping needs to be better. We walked in to a bad fish smell and discovered it was the garbage can had not been cleaned out. Clearly a company owns the house and is not on top of it. If it’s owned by a person, then shame on you. You are NOT easy to work with.

Family reunion at the beach

A great property for our beach family reunion! A short 5 minute walk to the beach, and we spent several days on the beach. You can drive onto that stretch of beach, which was great for hauling beach gear, food, and drinks to the shore. Plenty of parking for 6 cars at the house, one of which was a truck camper. The lawn provided space for outdoor games and the many porches were great for hanging out. The couches and chairs in the living room/dining room are a bit worn out. Kitchen is furnished well with large pots and pans, big serving bowls, and plenty of plates/silverware/glasses for our group of 22. The beds were comfy and the fans helped circulate air at night. The bedroom on the top floor was a warm one though. We pushed the limit for sleeping accommodations for 22. Kids shared beds and we used 2 inflatable mattresses for older cousins. Next time I’d probably rent a house with more bedrooms. The elevator didn’t work which was an important feature for one of our family. When I inquired about it, was told it isn’t an amenity…in case you need to know that. With that large of a house, I’d recommend a larger washer and dryer, and more dish towels and kitchen cleaning rags. Also need to install towel bars or hooks for the bathrooms. Otherwise we really enjoyed our time at this place!

Vacy experience

The home is roomy and great neighborhood. The outside grill is not recommended for usage, previous grilling buildup. The upstairs patio screening window screens torn. The cooking pans missing handles and worn. Plenty of plates and drink ware. Refrigerator clean. Oven dirty , door gasket needs to be replaced , damaged. Master bedroom bed not very comfortable , bedsheet had some unknown stains. Trash under the nightstand and window treatments damaged. We experienced foul water odor in master shower while in use. One downstairs bedroom toilet needed repair not flushing. The washer door sealant has mold stains. We tried to clean with disinfectant wipes not very successful in cleaning the buildup and mold stains. The bunk beds only have mattresses, no bunkie boards. AC not cooling well with this hot weather, lacking fans for backups, ceiling fans some worked some did not function well to assist with cooling the home. Trash was left on the boat dock from previous clients. The cowboy pool was dirty. Hoping this feedback helps others.

This would have been great, had the people renting it responded promptly to our needs. We had no way to talk with a person live on a phone. I am severely disappointed in the level of care shown to people who spent thousands of dollars to rent this house for the weekend. Ants in bedrooms is not acceptable, nor is not having access to a live person to address concerns like this. Consider me severely disappointed.

Overall, we really enjoyed our stay at this beach house. The location is awesome, and the beach access is great. We have a big family that was all down to see my wife and me get married, and the house was the perfect size. The only reason for the 4-star rating is that the house needs some maintenance/updates. The elevator doesn't work, the garage doors are broken, the two back doors to the decks on the second and third floor take a lot of work to get locked, and the backyard should have a gate to access the public parking behind the house. I would rent this place again the next time we have all the family down for a visit.

Excellent location but the house overall is filthy. The house in general is dirty .1- Every room is dirty, dirty sheets , hair in the pillow cases , restrooms have accumulated lots of dirt in every corner, mold on base boards. 2-Upstairs rooms have a bad smell and A/C is bad.3-Backyard porch is filthy , beehive with swarming bees next to grilling area . 4- Rusted and broken furniture in balcony. We would never stay in this house again. Its sad because it has en excellent location but is not worth it. The disappointment was really bad. I'm not putting my family thru this again.

The Sea La Vie home was beautiful and close to the beach as advertised. Our group of 9 was able to stay all in one place while we visited Galveston. The neighborhood was quaint and charming. However, When you see amenities; face value is what you will be getting. Refrigerator has no working ice or water (when this was brought to owners attention, they said they just listed fridge as amenity) there was half a roll of paper towels left behind for the week (we searched and couldn’t find any anywhere). You can technically walk to the beach from the house, but don’t expect a gate in the backyard leading to it. There is a walk way a few houses down or a drive over to the parking lot where there is public beach access. Grill but no charcoal (actually one handful of charcoal was left in the bag, not enough to cook with)Maintenance came to remove a bee swarm during our stay, went outside to see strangers looking into our cars. Then we couldn’t use the balconies due to angry bees. Pack your own hand soap, shampoo, condition, etc. There was not enough for one person to use for their stay, let alone our 9. TLDR; nice place and GREAT location, but pack EVERYTHING you think you’d need for anything there! Bee prepared!
No access to water & ice
Broken door that was hard to slide asked for it to be fixed but wasn’t
Tiny washer & dryer for a place that sleeps 22 run dryer 3x to dry towels. No beach towels provided!
Couldn’t get it to stop beeping so we unplugged

Potentially fabulous, but fell flat

The house was once upon a time wonderful but it has seen better days. On arrival one could see many problems on the outside of the house. Windows cloudy, green mold on drainage/gutter and stairwell. Opening the front door, a wall of Fabuliso scent hits you in the face. The floor was sticky and dirty, even though I saw the maids mop upon arrival. The bedrooms were fine but the bedding was cheap. In a 500 a night stay one would hope for at least cotton sheets but no, cheap bamboo or polyester is what we had. Windows and doors were difficult to open. Some impossible to open and close. The kitchen was a Goodwill collection of everything from the glasses and cups to all the mismatched cookware all put away Helter Skelter The refridgerator ice machine was not in working order and there was one half used roll of paper towels. The bottom oven did not work. In the property description it stated 6 parking spots. But the garage doors were in terrible shape and would not open. Dangerous too. If opened they could have fallen on some unsuspecting victim. The Bar-B-Q was solidly rusted out with no clean utensils to be found however I would not have used it because it was nasty looking. No beach towels or beach chairs were provided. In closing I wanted this to be a positive vacation with my family but it turned out to be very disappointing. I am a VRBO owner. I try to please my guests always. Clean cotton sheets and towels and always spick and span. I hope this helps.
