Not as Expected
Property had regular sewage smell that we reported but was never attended to. Had lights not working in the game room and other places and we messaged the host and they sent people to fix the lights - they came, left to get parts, and never came back. One of the days it rained and there was multiple water leaks in the ceiling coming through the light fixtures, one of the listing pictures shows a hot tub and there is no hot tub, cleaners were late leaving after the 4pm check in, several broken cabinets and drawers in the kitchen, ping pong table is half broken, not nearly enough towels for the advertised amount of people that it can host, floors are warped in many places, darts for dart board are broken, several soft spots on the deck and broken deck board at bottom of the stairs with exposed nails, closet doors off the hinges in the upstairs jack and jill room, no broom or vacuum to be found. I messaged the host Beach Box several times and they were typically good at responding to emails, but none of these issues got physically resolved. I reported all of these issues prior to us leaving the facility and requested a partial refund for our difficulties and false advertising and host said they would have to check with the owner of the property. I have followed up three times with the host and have not heard back about them approving or not approving our request. Overall, this property was not as expected for the price we paid and would recommend this property undergo repairs.

Middle School Spring Trip
This is the perfect place for a large group. The spaciousness of the house was amazing. Kids had plenty of room inside and out of the house to have fun with their friends. Parents would stay up late laughing. Aside from a few structural obstacles, I would highly recommend this house. We look forward to our next trip to Galveston.

Very poorly maintain property
I would strongly recommend not to book this property as it's very poorly maintained. Many many issues : 1. Smelling very badly in most of the bed rooms (sewage smell) 2. Except on non of the bathroom has exhausts 3. Floor wood is coming out we fell down twice and just escaped from injury 4. This property says to accommodate up to 24 folks but no cooking pan at all for even cooking for 3-4 folks. 5. No dishwasher soap, No room Freshner, No Washing machine liquid detergent, Only 4 trash bag were provided 6. Microwave is in very poor condition to heat up. 7. Shuffle board is in bad condition you can't play. 8. Pool table is not balance properly. 9. Sofa is stinking, No single place to sit even 6 families. Good things: TV connection Location Enough toiletries, Towels Bending Enough cutlery (but no cooking pans)

Overnight Stay for Cruise Trip
The house had more than enough bedrooms and restrooms for our group of 9. There was also so much to do (table tennis, old school arcade games, play cards, pool and even shuffle board) that we wish we had more time at the house. We even got to see a bull chase a dog at the neighbor’s house. It was a good start to our trip. Thanks again.

The Good Life
Overall the stay was good. The house is nice and there was plenty of room for our family. There were several places in the house where the flooring needed to be replaced. Also be aware that this is on the west end of Galveston and near open fields. There were some friendly animals next door (a cow and a donkey- the kiddos got a kick out of that, but we also has a not so friendly guest in the backyard - a 3 foot snake - my brother stepped right over it and didn't realize it was a snake until it raised it's head to strike. Lots of mosquitoes in the evening, but that was expected. Overall, a good stay.
