Friend Reunion
It all worked out and seeing each other as a group after many years overshadowed any issues, but the home was not as nice as photos. There had been a lot of water damage at some point and mildew and mold (I am highly allergic) was overwhelming. It was very evident in the kitchen ceiling and floors. I wish we’d known a little more about the sleeping spaces and privacy and accessibility And we also struggled all weekend to cool the house enough to be able to relax there or sleep comfortably We all loved the pool, though, and sitting poolside and catching up!.Reminiscing and being together made up for any shortcomings!

Great stay!
Great experience with this booking. Fantastic entertaining space for you and your friends. Between the pool, fire pit, games, and beautiful deck, your entire party has space to kick back and relax however they like. Location is awesome as well. The washing machine was not working, so that was the only bummer. Overall I highly recommend!

The property appears to be clean and easy to get around. If I had children, I would not allow them on the upper decks without supervision. Some in need of repair to the railings. This property has a great swimming pool and friendly neighbors.

The couch was the worst. The kitchen ceiling was not finished out. Apparently there was a leak. The pots and pans were in such bad condition that we hadp to go buy our own to cook with. The glassware had chips and cracks. We killed several roaches

Given a different house
We booked the A-frame house several months prior to our stay, paid in full a month prior. 24 hours before check-in, we were notifed by the property owner/management company that the A-frame house was not available due to damage to the pool. They offered us another property, not in Jamaica Beach, but looked adequate to accommodate our group of 13. There was back and forth discussion through VRBO emailing about whether property #2 had a pool bc pics didn't show one. Commutations from owner went dark until after 10pm the night before we were set to drive the 6+ hours to Galveston. I finally got in touch with someone who confirmed the change. House number 2 was clean, big, had plenty of space for our group, etc. But in direct line of sight to the beach, essentially in the front yard, is a warehouse facility of some sort. Folks who rent property #2 should know that, but alas, I am not offered a forum to comment on that property so anything else I have to say about that house is kind of a moot point here. We did drive by the A-frame to look at it and it looks fine from the outside, if not a little "over represented" in the VRBO photos. I will add that we did not see renters occupying the A-frame house property (the house we paid for but were relocated out of). The owner made good on the change and we were ultimately satisfied with the 2nd property. I know things happen, so, whatever. But all in all, I rate the whole experience a B+. the owner

The property was not what the pictures showed. The couch was falling apart as was the second floor balcony. The management company fixed the couch as well as they could but it did not last long. One of the two bathrooms was clogged up when we arrived. The flooring had tape all over to keep some of the boards down. The best part was the use of a pool.

Property is showing a bit of wear and tear but stills nice property. The beds were super comfortable. Main floor flooring is in need of repair but the home is beautiful and close to the beautiful beach where the ice cream truck drives right by. It was so nice to have salt and pepper and coffee. Incidentals were supposed like dish soap and dishwasher tabs, and laundry detergent which made the visit much nicer.

Such a great weekend in a great home! We had a party of 9 stay in the house comfortably. Ample beds and ample space. The game room!!!! And the pool!!! And Russell was great to work with. The proximity of the house to the beach was only a 6 min walk or 1-2min drive. We thought the downside of the home would be having only 2 bthrms but it totally worked out. No complaints from anyone. We had an amazing weekend.

This beach house was perfect for a large group (stayed here with 13 adults) and walking distance to the beach! Having the pool was great, the kitchen was stocked with everything you could need (maybe could do with another pan), tons of room for everyone. Would recommend!

Wonderful for family vacations!
We thoroughly enjoyed our time at this beautiful and well-equipped home. The place was very spacious and had plenty of beds for all. The pool was definitely a plus and made our weekend so much fun and entertaining for the entire family. We also like the fact that we were able to bring our for babies. The only thing I would say about that is one of the gates did not latch, so we were always worried that they would escape. That would be the only thing that would need improvement. Other than that we would definitely recommend and stay again!

The location was perfect and communication with the host was excellent. Check in and out we’re easy as pie! The house was spacious and the pool was a nice touch. Some of the items in the house, particularly the games/chair upstairs and the couch in the main living room. The flooring in the main area was also damaged and lifting in several areas. Overall it was a great stay and we would come back again

Great Place to take the family. Very accomodating setup. Large Kitchen Island and table as well. Has a pool, nice deck, fire pit, etc. which is great for just chilling and visiting. Short drive to the beach. Also the have a link available to a place where you can rent are items like a pop-up, chairs, cooler and other items so that you don't have to carry all that stuff from home. I have also heard folks rent golf carts to go to and from either the beach or the little store down the road.
