Dirty
The house was dirty, the ice maker did not work, the AC in one of the upstairs bedroom did not work so we were unable to use, the bedroom that was on the porch had a sewage smell, had to stick a towel down the kitchen drain. Property manager did reach out and tried to help but they were unable to make any decisions. I will never stay with this company again.

Ladies from our church went on a retreat to Galveston. We needed space to sleep but wanted to be close together.This house was perfect and the little MIL suite out back was fantastic too. Lots of room and lots of beds. Would recommend this place for big groups. Everyone loved it!

Dirty on arrival
Love3ly place but we had to clean it when we arrived as construction ongoing inside left a layer of black dust in all the living spaces and there was no way to clean other than wet cloths on elbow grease. We even had to go out and buy some things to clean with.

Galveston stay
Home was nice. Very clean. If you have mobility issues, the stairs will be an issue. Loved the very long dining table. Great for large gatherings. Washer doesn’t work Vacasa, on the other hand, is not customer oriented. Very disappointed in their customer service.

Great house for big groups
Plenty of space for sleeping, eating, and playing. House is not toddler friendly AT ALL so come prepared if needed. Had an issue with very dirty floors and a literal hole in the kitchen floor big enough for a foot to go through. Without those two issues this would have been a perfect stay.

Some disappointments
Overall, the stay was fine. There were some unfortunate cleanliness issues, namely in the bathrooms and kitchen. The cloth living room furniture needs cleaning, too. Further, we corresponded multiple times with the host to let them know the washing machine wasn’t working. Sadly, they acknowledged our concern, promised to send a repair person, and no one came. Since our family traveled a long distance, we elected to pack light as there was a washer and dryer at the home, so issue this was a major inconvenience. The houses on either side aren’t well-kept, but the neighborhood overall was fine. We had a nice time, but the property owner needs to do a deep clean and ensure everything is in proper working order before the next guests arrive.

Mini stay
The house had reviews on ac problems. The listed separate room in the back was very hot unbearable to be in for this Texas heat no one stayed back there. Ac in main house is good. Upstairs Bathroom is cooled By a window air vent. Loved the big table. Lots of stairs, in the entrance to get to the back yard and of course 2nd floor. Living room couches need a clean and washer didnt work. Beds were soft kitchen was stocked. The walk is about 10 -15 min to get to beach. Area is quiet.

This charming victorian style home was so much better than we expected! It had everything we needed while we were vacationing in Galveston. We are already discussing coming again next year and staying in the same house!

Weekend getaway
The location was great, near all main attractions. The house itself was lacking a good AC unit which caused the temp to stay around 85 degrees through out the stay.
