Never will use VRBO AGAIN!
Your bait and switch on amenities as well as the change in stay fiasco is criminal. I am through with Vacasa/VRBO. I have rented at least 15 times and never had this experience but this is definitely criminal the way to charge after the fact when listing clearly does not show such an amenity. Then to refuse my extra day that I approved because you would not offer the price you gave me for sure deserves reprimand

Perfect house for a beach getaway!
We loved our stay at the house! The pool and spa went to great use and also just a short walk away from the beach. The full kitchen came in handy and was fully stocked for everything we needed. Only trouble was lack of instructions for the pool/turning jets on in the spa. Luckily a few of us have experience with pools and figured it out, but would recommend having a short instructions guide for future stays. Other than that, highly recommend!

Galveston hide away
Hot tub never did really work. Good game selection. Mosquitos were horrible, couldn't go outside without repellant. (may just be the season but we all got ate up) House is very comfortable.

Great Beach House with Pool
Beautiful, bright, clean, and airy beach house with plenty of amenities. The pool was great and we all had fun swimming. There is access to the beach from either walking to the beach or driving your car to one of the pocket beaches. The house was conveniently located to Galveston attractions. Overall, we were very pleased with the accommodations.

This is by far my favorite location! We spend time every summer in Galveston, and will definitely be staying here again! Loved the pool, and it's a beautiful house. Very comfy and very happy.

Can’t go wrong
We’ve stayed here before and always enjoy it. There’s no ocean view but that’s more than made up for by the pool.

Relaxing
We rented this house because it had a pool and was near the beach. Our mornings were spent in the pool as it was shaded till noon. We rented a 6 person golf cart from Ricks Beach rentals. We could drive around neighborhood looking at houses and going to the beach. Night time we swam in the pool which was warm at night from day of sun on it and had board games inside at large table. The kitchen is well equipped for all our meals. Deep freezer drawer to hold ice bags for ice chests. Big deep porch to sit at at night. Nice touch lighted stairs at night to see going down them. Great having bathroom outside area. Covered parking to keep cars cool. Plenty of propane to grill. Last day our family said we need to stay here again at this house. Everyone thought having the private pool was great.

Very Nice
The property is beautiful! The pool, landscaping and outdoor areas are really nice. Plenty of shade as well as sunlight. The pool is beautiful with the waterfalls and lighting. The house it self is stunning with high ceilings and natural lighting. Gourmet kitchen. Plenty of plates, bowls and all manner of glasses. The bedrooms and bathrooms were perfect sized for us. The master bedroom has mix matched furnishings, a wall mount for a tv, without a tv. The tv is in a too large cabinet for the room. The mattress and pillows were not very good. We could feel the slats supporting the mattress through the mattress. The bunk beds had great mattresses. The kitchen drawers were disorganized and a few necessary kitchen items missing. I feel with a kitchen like this, you have to cook a time or two. No spatula, two frying pans and one pot. There were some areas missed in the cleaning prior to arrival in the kitchen. No trash bags for the stay. The outdoor shower was full of sand covered beach floats/toys. Minor things, but we felt for the price, that a little more attention to detail would solve the few negatives that we had. Overall, I would highly recommend this property!

Great few days in Galveston
Overall property was clean, well equipped and comfortable, and kid friendly (we traveled with a 1 year old) We had a great time at the pool, the water was cool as we didn't heat it, but was still warm enough for this time of year. Overall a great stay and would stay again.

Nice property/but had issues
The property was clean and nice as listed. Unfortunately we had several issues. The TV in the living room didn't work. Maintenance did come but the TV had to be replaced so we were without a TV for the first 24 hours. The bathroom downstairs was clogged when we arrived and unusable, and not fixed during our stay. There was no book, like most VRBO's have to explain basic operations of house, jacuzzi etc. So we didn't know how to work the Jacuzzi and didn't want to start flipping switches. We called on that and never got an answer and finally had a neighbor show us how to use it. Lastly there was no propane for the grill and when you have been in the sun all day and get ready to cook for 4 hungry teenage boys and there is no gas to grill, it's an issue!! After complaining multiple times I did receive a small refund. Hopefully they will do better for the renters in the future.
