Other things to note:
- Pool/spa is not heated, but can be heated for an additional fee. $200 minimum for up to 4 days and then $50 per day after. If you would like the pool/spa heated for your stay, you must request at least 48hrs in advance of your arrival. No parties, no outside guests or loud music on the patio.

- Limited Liability for the pool and pool equipment. Our pool is outdoors and fronts to the bay. This means that the pool and spa are exposed to the elements including leaves falling in, debris blown in from the wind, rain, algae formation etc. The pipes and pool heaters have to withstand extreme temperatures and weather conditions. When something breaks it can take time to get parts and technicians out. Because of this, our liability is limited to 10% of your nightly rate if anything fails with the pool or pool equipment and we are unable to repair within 24 hours. We will always try to make your stay as pleasant as possible but sometimes it is out of our control.

- Please note while the house is child-friendly in the sense that we allow children, you do need to watch your children and not leave them unattended, as the pool does not have a gate and there is direct ocean access from the back yard.

- Please keep in mind this is a coastal property in Texas and there are naturally a lot of bugs and other local animals around. We have monthly service for spraying inside and around the property and have several Dynatraps to help control the situation. It is also very important to keep all doors closed. Leaving doors open for only a minute can cause bugs can come in. Also, leaving food and trash out will attract all kinds of unwanted visitors which is why we suggest you store and properly dispose of your food items. We do not give any type of refund for insect sightings or related issues.

- As the detailed photos show, two of the upstairs bedrooms are open to and overlook the living space below, they are also connected upstairs. These two rooms also have stunning views and are the best place to see the sunrise over the water.

Amazing waterfront escape
Wow!! I can’t say enough good things about this home. Every morning we caught the beautiful Sunrise from the master bedroom. The house is very well furnished an had a gorgeous and functional kitchen. We were able to cook dinner almost every night in the house and ate at the outdoor table. Love the open concept of the house where you can really absorb the views of the Galveston Bay and sailboats going by. The house was very clean beds/ bedding very comfortable. The house is located in a cute safe neighborhood with very friendly neighbors. We ended up walking several times to sylvan beach (a public beach) just a few Minutes away. We also checked out Kemah Bay, Nasa and the battleship. The host Chris was very accommodating and even left champagne on the counter for us. I cannot say enough good things about the house. We will be back soon!! Thanks again!!

Dirty, older and worn
Place was filthy. Every corner and surface was dirty. Pool was full of debris. Clear, plastic furniture that was unable, or unstable to even sit in. Bathrooms were dirty the floors were dirty it felt like the pictures were taken 10 years ago compared to the property today. I messaged the owner explaining to him that after the first night my wife and I didn’t even stay for the remainder of our trip told him about these things and I didn’t even get a response. I wasn’t looking for a refund I just wanted to let him know and I got no response. Rusty hinges on the refrigerator doors, dirty shelving in the refrigerator. Outside the property was dirty and dingy. All of the windows looking out of the ocean were dirty. I really hope that they took the cleaning deposit and actually did something with it this time.

Disgusted and disappointed
What a letdown. The view was beautiful but everything else was terrible. Tried multiple times to reach owner and got no response. Outlets in master bedroom and dining room don’t work. Many lights throughout the home don’t work. Live roaches in bathrooms. Towels were old and stained. Yuk. No batteries in tv remote for master bedroom. This place is an absolute mess. Stains on floors from water leaks, broken windows, trash in backyard…both construction trash and someone else’s trash…maybe previous guest? I could go on and on. Wish I could post pictures of the disgusting mess this place is. I cannot believe VRBO allows this.

not family friendly
this is house not for families, between the offensive art work, lights out, broken stairs my son fell down, bugs everywhere and being extorted for an extra money for my dogs that I entered from the beginning beofre getting access to the the keys which I have been infomred i will not be getting back even though they made zero mess and stayed outside. Owner is rude and the neighbors hate this property.
