Nice property and very responsive host despite some issues communicating through the VRBO app. Initial supplies were very adequate and thoughtful. Having patio games and beach equipment ( chairs. Wagon etc) was great Definitely recommend this property and host
This property worked great for my family of 5 with kids age 3-8. We stayed shortly after a hurricane knocked out the internet but decided to come anyway. We really appreciate that the host installed a DVD player and provided a library of kids DVDs for us. There is an ocean view from the top balcony that was better than expected. (Great spot to hide from your family and read a book and the outdoor furniture was high-quality). This home is an easy walk to the beach. Another huge perk was the gear lift which saved me (Dad) from carrying all our heavy coolers, groceries, and luggage up the stairs! The bunk room is really cool but has little clearance on the top level so not for adults. However, the bottom bunks accommodate adults easily. The 12-person dining table and 4-person bar was the most spacious I've seen in a beach rental in Galveston and allowed us plenty of space for games and puzzles. The outdoor shower made rinsing off kids after the beach easy and there was a 2nd fridge in the garage which made it easy to load cooler drinks to the beach. As is typical in Pirates Beach after rains, the mosquitoes were pretty bad on the ground floor. But after I sprayed a fogger we were able to play games on the ground level and relax in the hammock without bother. Overall, this home worked great for our trip and I would stay there again!
Everything was wonderful at this property. Jennifer's quick response to every question made it easy. The descriptions were spot on down to what was in the garage and kitchen and what we did and did not need to bring. Thank you, Jennifer, for a lovely 4 days. We will be back.
We loved our stay! It met and exceeded expectations! Lovely clean home, great children's bunk room, and easy walk to the beach. Amenities were added if we asked. Their entire stay was seamless. Thank you, Findleys, weâll definitely return!
The house was just as described, very comfortable, clean and a great location. Easy walk to the beach. Garage is full of beach chairs and toys for the kiddos. We will be back.
We travel a bit and this has to be one of our top locations. This house was MUCH better in person than the pictures did justice! It's maybe 2 min walk to the beautiful beach and sand. The neighborhood is quite and feels safe. We loved how welcoming the owners were and responded to questions within minutes of us reaching out. They supplied everything you could possibly need and even had a dog kennel provided! We cannot recommend this property enough!
We really enjoyed our time at this property. Jennifer was very quick to answer all my questions. It was our first vacation with our pets. I was very happy to have them with us, we avoided a lot of stress leaving them with sitters or pet hotel. I greatly appreciate that Jennifer let us have them with us. So I went ahead and groomed them the day before we left to have less shading. Need to mention that property has everything you possible will need. We mostly cook our meals from scratch, trying to eat less restaurant, and we were able to cook a wide variety of food without running into shortage of some kitchen utensils or appliances. The pictures and description are correct. Everything was as pictured. The check-in and -out was as easy as stepping into or out of the room. I was pleased to know I don't have to bring my beach chairs and wagon. Taking showers outside was a breeze after the beach. So convenient.
I defiantly recommend this property!
Everything was great, nice home, beach is a lot closer than it seems on the picture. Gave it 4 stars because the A/c went out but Jennifer fixed it right away, we went to dinner came back and it was fixed. A closet shelf fell & living room tv stop working the last day we were there so thatâs why I put 4 stars but other than simple little mishaps that could of happened to anyone, it was nice, quiet, the beach was steps away. We had a great time & Jennifer is great.
