Great place to stay surrounded by everything the kids and the girls enjoyed every bit of it

Instructions were unclear. Email stated parking pass in kitchen, if not returned $75 fee. No parking pass anywhere. Searched entire house, no parking pass, called # twice , no answer. Called maintenance #  twice, no answer . Wrote email that there was no pass and would not pay $75, eventually got a text saying they no longer use a parking pass. So, why the notice and the stress involved? Sofa had multiple stains and had a bad odor. I didn't cook, but food was on crock pot and toaster oven. Shower curtain had mildew/mold on it. $150 cleaning fee when stuff was dirty when we arrived, not cool.  Upon leaving,there was no trash can outside. Had to call again because I didn't know what to do with trash. Trash can in the alley, not back yard. State clear instructions. Master shower has no door, water goes all over bathroom.

Our stay was very enjoyable. The location is great and convenient to get to the sea wall and to the Strand.

Overall a great stay in galveston!

Things I do want to point out

Shower curtains need to be changed, mildew and mold if this was changed bathroom would have been perfect

The listing has outdated rules/instructions that involve a parking pass, says to use the parking pass for your vehicle that is left on the kitchen counter, as i arrived saw no such thing, said it was 75$ if not returned, reached out to host and did not get back to me second to last day of check out, all that hassle to find out it’s not needed at all

Communication was not satisfying but could that be easily fixed

If those are all solved for the next party this deserves five stars!

Not happy with this rental. Driveway was very narrow and it was hard to get in and out of the car once parked. Also, had I known about the stairs that led to the unfinished first floor I wouldn’t have booked here. The railing for the stairs was very low and it was unsafe for our toddlers. Most of our time we spent trying to keep the kids away from there. A baby gate was provided but it was broken so we couldn’t use it to keep them out of the area. Our first night when we washed dishes on the left side of the sink, the water went directly into the dishwasher which was broken so we couldn’t drain the water. The garbage disposal was also broken. The trash was overflowing on the side of the house and there was no where to put ours at check out (this was reported at check in but nothing was done) the air conditioner was not working right and house was 87 during the day. Broom/vacuum not provided so we had to buy our own. Owners were very slow to respond. We will not return. Refund requested
