Oceanfront Home with Pool & Private Beach Walkover

This was by far my favorite trip to Galveston. The owner was super easy to talk to and he was very accommodating. The house is in the best location. It housed our party of 10 comfortably. The pool and fire pit really set this property over the top!

We had 7 adults and the property was a perfect size for us. The beds in every room were comfortable and each bedroom had a bathroom. We could all get together with plenty of room on the deck, in the kitchen and dining area and in the living space. It was easy to get to the beach and we loved the pool. It was a wonderful weekend. Owner communication was great. *Note: the kitchen is adequately stocked with dishes and appliances but bring your own ice, salt/pepper, condiments, etc. There is some sheetrock damage and damage to the wooden bridge; I assume that is due to the recent hurricane.

The beach was nice and quiet. On either side was a drive on beach. I saw several cops patrolling the beach. The house was great but could really use a deep clean. I had trouble opening the lock box open arrival. I was able to call and speak with a person. It was resolved quickly. The garage bays are really tight due to the house stilts. The driveway is very short. Parking 6 cars would be very tight. Love that each bedroom has an ensuite bathroom. The pool was nice. Overall a great stay!

Very nice home! Beautiful views of the beach! The pool was amazing! Plenty of room for the family!

Beach access was great. We enjoyed the pool and the fire pit. The layout of the house was good. The cookware was not in great shape and we could have used a few more skillets. The most annoying thing was the property management. I received many messages trying to upsell beach equipment, golf carts, and extra days of rental. I won't choose it again because of their nagging and not accepting OneKey cash.

Amazing!!! The house was perfect, plenty of room for our group of 13 and our dog too!! The pool and all the areas outside were perfect and the beach right in front with private walkover....that set this property apart from the others we've used in the past!! We've been coming to Galveston for 4 years now with our family, this years trip was a blast at this house!!! We will definitely be booking again next year!!! And they have awesome communication, very helpful and friendly!!! Thank you so much Beach Box!!!

Location was everything on this rental! Beautiful location overlooking the beach and just a short walk away from the shore which was perfect for our family, where we spent most of the days. That being said, amenities were far below par in the home, and the entire home lacked attention to detail. The home is beautiful, but when you get down and start to use things, you realize everything is barely hanging on, loose shower faucet handles, room door handles falling off. Master bathroom leaks water under the shower door. Some of the finish nails stick out on top of the stairs, so they stab your foot if barefoot. There was no soap in one of the bathrooms, broken blinds all over the home, and stains on some of the sheets. One of the bathrooms downstairs is so badly placed that you cannot even sit correctly on the toilet but have to use it while sitting completely sideways. Pool looks dingy and has a large crater in the middle that seems to be patched up. We also found 3 giant roaches during the stay, with one waking up my wife at night as it crawled on her face. All that being said, we still had an amazing time, and our family made the best of the stay.

Perfect! We enjoyed the beach and the private pool. Wonderful stay.

maintenance problems throughout - lock box for entrance did not work / corroded; main oven did not work, floor on main floor sandy/ dirty upon our arrival. Wish the elevator was available; hauling all our food / beverages and suitcases up the stairs proved exhausting because we are over 70 years old. But overall we ignored the problems and enjoyed our stay - great neighborhood and entrance to the beach

Would be 10 out of 10 if we'd known the garage doors were damaged due to the hurricane and that the parking wo garage damage does not accommodate full size trucks I recommend they put this in the house description. Aside from that it was cozy while still having hurricane damage to the cielings and moisture damage that was definitely odiferous. Wonderful other than the unexpected

The pictures look a lot nicer than the house. The carpet and furniture was stained and worn. Water was leaking from one of the downstairs showers onto the floor and the tile was cracked because the floor is sagging. There was blue masking tape covering the cracks. The drain from the other downstairs shower smells really bad. There is a shower curtain in the shower upstairs that was put up after the glass door broke. I was embarrassed to have my in-laws in this house with us. The lights and fan weren’t working in the living room when we arrived. The electrician fixed it by bypassing a badly damaged segment of wires which doesn’t inspire confidence. When the AC would kick on, the lights in the house would dim. Box fans were required to make the temperature tolerable. There was a roach/insect problem. This is not a luxury listing despite the high price. The location was great as advertised. We basically had the beach to ourselves. When I informed the management company of my concerns, they blew me off and let me know they’d pass it on to the owner. I do not recommend this place for the price. I would not stay here again.

Beautiful home and location. The view is wonderful and RIGHT on the beach. Having a pool is such a huge plus and hard to beat. The home inside is very updated and clean. Thank you for a wonderful stay and we will be back!

Beach house is in a great location and accurate to the photos of the property. Went with wife and kids to get away from work and the everyday routine. Couldn't have picked a better week to enjoy the warmer weather and sunshine. Couple of comments for the property manager is to ensure windows get cleaned before the next guests arrive. Allow thermostat to be lowered a few extra degrees, as rooms are not being cooled equally and upstairs got a bit hot. Both upstairs showers leak badly from the bottom of shower door. Roach traps need to be placed discreetly around the kitchen and living room. Overall we enjoyed our stay and our boys loved the pool and easy beach access. Thanks!

Great location. Was once a nice house, needs renovations. Saw 2 monster roaches. Tile needs replaced and central air quit us the last night.

Property location is absolutely beautiful! The beach was so pretty and beach access was great. Cons: the minute we walked in we could tell the floors had not been swept & house was not in a clean shape. There were dead roaches on the floor and live ones running in & out of the kitchen cabinets. There is black mold in one of the bedroom closets & all of guests were sick starting Saturday afternoon until now. The freezer ice making was taped with medical tape and kept getting caught when we’d open the freezer. It would take 1 person to hold the broken shelf up while another person opened the freezer. The fireplace leaked water as soon as it started raining Sunday morning. I contacted the company as soon as we checked out & let them know about all of these concerns but I have not heard back. Very disappointing

View of Gulf was great. Very private beach. House was comfortable and clean. Better suited for large groups. Many beds but no nightstands or much room to move around in bedrooms other than master. Bring your own beach chairs as none Provided by house. Most restaurants and larger grocery stores are at least 20 mins away. Suggest a light be put at bottom of stairs where lockbox is. Difficult to see at night. Otherwise very relaxing trip.

The property quality is very good. Didn’t like the roach droppings in the some of the cabinets, the one cockroach we saw, the couple of butter smeared plates etc. The ceiling was apparently under repair as several large Sheetrock sections were without covering

we had a good family vacation. The beach and the pool were great. A few problems having no hangers in the house and ants on kitchen counter daily plus mouse droppings in kitchen cabinets

My family had an excellent time at this listing. It’s a quick walk to the beach from the home. Plenty of sleeping space , communication with property manager was very quick. We will be planning another beach trip and this location in the future

Very nice home! Beautiful views of the beach! The pool was amazing! Plenty of room for the family!

Location and access to beach is fantastic. Quiet, few people. The house was nice. The only downside is the air return is in the downstairs bedroom with the bunk beds and if you close the door it is very loud. So you either have to keep the door open (not ideal for kiddos at bedtime) or just don’t use that bedroom. Otherwise, the house was comfortable and everything worked.

The house was perfect for my family. Living room was large enough for all of us to late night board games. Kitchen was great. I cooked dinner 3 of the nights and had plenty of prep and cooking space. My only criticism would be the room with the 4 beds was configured pretty tight. Leaving it hard to get to the closet. Other than that had the most beautiful views and perfect walking distance to the beach. Highly recommend.

Amazing!!! The house was perfect, plenty of room for our group of 13 and our dog too!!

We planned on staying here for our mini overnight vacation. When we got to Galveston they informed us that this particular property wouldn't be ready for us and instead were offered another property on Jamaica beach which worked great in the long run. I appreciate the communication and we understand things can happen beyond our control. We got a beautiful house on the beach still and my daughter who has never been got to have a once in a lifetime mini vacation.

My family had an excellent time at this listing. It’s a quick walk to the beach from the home. Plenty of sleeping space , communication with property manager was very quick. We will be planning another beach trip and this location in the future

Our family had a great time. We enjoyed the house, area and response from Russel.

The most annoying thing was the property management. I received many messages trying to upsell beach equipment, golf carts, and extra days of rental.

The property is great but needs a great deal of maintenance. It looks as if it is run by a property group and not by an individual who might see to the maintenance. I loved the place but would not go back without being assured that the problems we sent to Russell Griffin were taken care of.

I can't comment about this property accurately, other than it was used to get a booked and paid for reservation, but then not available. Property Manager moved us to a different house, and it had not been cleaned after previous tenants visit. Filthy conditions, and broken appliances, holes in the walls, and unsecured.

Very nice location. Quiet beach. Great access to beach and loved having the pool. Property management was responsive and kind.

Overall the property was OK. The big issue was we picked out and paid for a house on the beach this was not at all on the beach. We found out one week before our trip which included our entire family and was fully paid for that the house we paid for wasn’t an an option any longer. This house was way way off the beaten path. Due to the bugs and weather the pool was useless. We had planned on a true beach trip that was not possible this location. We had to find and spend extra money to entertain the family due to the last second switch on the original house. Overall this house needs a lot of work. Only two burners worked in the kitchen which made cooking for 7 people difficult. The balcony out back was leaning to a point we didn’t use it. The house is in a terrible spot for bugs nonstop and just little things here and there that didn’t hold up. Overall it’s unlikely we will use vrbo again. We spent months planning this beach vacation and it’s simply wasn’t a beach vacation at all. We made the drive a few times to the beach but with 4 kids and 2 dogs and walking no longer an option we spent an additional $300 just getting the car cleaned when we got home. Very disappointing just be careful. Thanks

This beautiful home lies about fifteen minutes from Galveston but directly on the beach. It’s too bad the kids didn’t realize there would be no seashells. It did have an above ground pool and deck which was great for us. The water was calm. Overall this would be a great place for you to stay for the night. Enjoy yòur stay! I will booing fit again

We brought the extended family out for a beach vacation. This house was located right on the beach and made it very simple to enjoy it each day. Being able to eat meals overlooking the Gulf and not having to pack into a car to drive to the beach was a great perk.

Had low expectations for this vacation spot because a hurricane had ripped through Houston just a few weeks earlier. turned out to be a perfect spot for a week getaway with a family of 6 adults and 3 children under 10! Beautiful oceanfront property, as described! Kids loved the pool. Affordable. About 25 min away from Galveston restaurants, Walmart, Kroger. Otherwise not much nearby- a great quiet getaway. Each room has a bathroom, it was clean and pretty. There was some drywall that had gone up to repair issues after the storm- didn’t bother us too much. Downside are the flies and mosquitoes - bring bug spray!

Perfect for our family. We had 4 adults and 7 young kids. The pool had a safety gate and nice deck around it. Beautiful view of the ocean off the master bedroom and large deck. Short walk to the beach. Easy to pull a wagon full of toys, chairs, coolers. We saw dolphins off the coast right near where we were swimming one morning. A little bit of a drive to town to eat. But we only did the once, cooked at the house the rest of the time. The nice thing about the location is that it’s fairly far from town so not busy on the beach at all.Owner was responsive and helpful. We’ve stayed at different houses each year for 6 years. This was one of our favorites! Hoping to book it again next year!

View of Gulf was great. Very private beach. House was comfortable and clean. Better suited for large groups. Many beds but no nightstands or much room to move around in bedrooms other than master.
