NY! Opskalere Galveston Cottage w / Wraparound Deck!

Cute little place! Perfect for our needs. Walked down to the beach at the end of the street to watch the sun rise each morning.It was glorious!

The place was clean and as described. We did find some things broken and I documented that to the host (lamps). The AC would not cool off more than 76 and it was hotter than that in the smaller bedroom and bathroom. The AC vents were not efficient it’s like they were stopping the air from coming out full force. I was grateful the host had fans available in each room, I can see why now. They only provided one trash bag, I was glad I saved all my walmart bags for trash. The parking area is not ideal but works. Loved that host provides towels and beach accessories. All appliances worked and the bathroom & kitchen were a nice size. The home includes an outside shower (that’s a big plus when coming from the beach! And water hose to rinse before going into the house). The beach is just down the street a very short easy walk. Loved that and the neighborhood. Nice quiet and the beach access was great, we really enjoy the location. It’s not too far from the shops and restaurants but if you enjoy a more secluded quiet beach this is the perfect location.

This beach house had some ups and downs. We loved how close the house was to the beach, about a 5 minute walk away. The bedding was comfortable and we got to make ourselves at home. Downside was how hot the house was once we checked in and how it struggled to stay cool during our stay. It was 89 degrees at check in and did not cool down to 72 until 1am. We appreciate the house for providing 4 plug in fans but sadly it wouldn’t help that much. A few times when we left the house and came back the AC was set to 72 and we come back to the AC reading 79 after being out and about all day. One thing that was super scary was how we found a broken beer bottle at the outside shower station so we slipped that amenity. I did pick up a plastic wine bottle in case the property manager tried to blame us for leaving it behind. We were not going to touch broken glass at all!! I would highly recommend the property managers to do a better inspection for future guests that plan on checking in. Would have loved for the AC to been on to at least 80, property need a little bit cleaner as we found dirty dishes in the clean cabinet and can’t forget the alcohol left behind from a previous guest. One last thing the check in key pad was a bit faulty and the online instructions were incorrect as it stated turn a handle as there is only a number pad and push down tab to enter. Highly confused as how to rate this stay.

AC a real issue as it was on 78 when we arrived. Didn't cool down till mid morning next day 70 degrees.Left it on 65 to keep satifactory temp during stay.Would have been ok if on reasonable temp before our arrival.Dishwasher was full. Outside trash was full.Property was in good condition, lighting very poor.Nice walk to beach.

Great place
