We stayed a month. The Host Team were very quick to respond but were unable to fix our water issue. The water entering the home has a high content of mineral deposits in it. The water was not acceptable for drinking and thus we needed to buy cases of bottled water. We could not use the washing machine as the water permanently stained a number of our clothing items. We needed to spend time and money to go to the laundromat. We did use the shower daily but the smell and mineral deposits turned our white drying towels orange along with our own skin. I would recommend a darker coloured towel for this property. We did use the dishwasher for certain items but for the most part we washed the dishes by hand again because of the water issue.The location and the view are awesome. We walked daily on the beach and enjoyed relaxing on the porch. The beach house was very nice but there are early signs of deterioration that happens to salt wațer properties that are not occupied and maintained. We would definitely recommend the Host Team Managers but unfortunately we can not recommend staying at this property for an extended period of time as we did.

Water was awful just a rusty stinky mess. Ceiling fan in the master bedroom was quite noisy. Remote for ceiling fan in the living room didn’t work, figured it just needed a battery which we were told would be brought by never was. Both toilets need new flush valves as they stick and you have to be sure and raise the handle up.

Great family vacation

Great location for our family vacation. Loved being right on the beach. Accommodations were clean and perfect for our family of four. My husband bought a fishing pole from a pawn shop to fish from the beach. We left it at the VRBO for others to use if interested. Bought our bait from Hookers just over the bridge. Property manager/owner was very responsive. Would be nice if the VRBO could provide beach chairs. Thank you!

Texas Gulf-side Cottage

This is a clean little 3 bedroom house overlooking the Gulf. The neighborhood is quiet, and you're in position to access Lake Jackson and Galveston for activities. One thing you may not be ready for if you're not from Texas is that people can camp just outside the house on the beach, though they didn’t cause an issue and I'd consider staying there again.Overall a very pleasant place to stay!
