Recent Galveston vacation rental reviews

We had a very comfy stay at this condo. Everything was as shown in the photos. We were very impressed with Vacasa’s service. We had planned to dine in our first evening and were looking forward to enjoying a nice meal and some wine. Unfortunately we discovered there were only two wine glasses and no wine opener. I called Vacasa and a representative was there within an hour with the needed items. We were very impressed and thankful! Everything from there on out went smoothly and we had a delightful time! Highly recommend this unit!

Great house! There were 7 adults in our group. House was very clean. We enjoyed our stay. Think we need to add a couple of notes. We were there for 5 nights and there as only one (1) extra roll of toilet paper in each bathroom. There are two bathrooms with great showers. Thank goodness we had brought our own toilet paper. If you are cooking for a group the kitchen is very limited. Bring your own stuff. Internet was spotty; however, it did foster more family time. Washer & dryer are definitely not available. The house layout is good. There is limited lamp lighting in the rooms. There are 4 bedrooms. Primary bedroom has a comfortable king bed; however, no closet access. One bedroom had a queen bed, one bedroom had a full bed with trundle and one bedroom had a full with a futon. Beach access was great. We had easy access to Galveston proper.
