We recently stayed at this gem for a family weekend. It was well appointed and comfortable, with everything we needed in the kitchen, baths, and bedrooms. The pool and game room were the hit of the weekend. The pool was meticulously clean and the game room had just enough shade and fans to be cool on a hot weekend. The open concept kitchen/dining/living room was a perfect spot for everyone to gather. We loved it! Jake and Ashley were responsive to my questions as we got settled into the house. Everything was even better than the pictures on the site.
Overall, the space seemed to be clean. The beds were very stained under the sheets though. The pool was also a let down because it was very dirty and the cleaner was not working. Thereâs also no diving board as pictured. The space overall was spacious but it had a bunch of rooms that were locked making it kind of creepy. Especially at night because we didnât know if anyone else was there on the property or in any of the locked rooms. We didnât have restful nights at the place because it always sounded like people walking around and doors opening/closing. Also, one of the nights, a dog barked almost all night.The neighborhood looked a little sketchy but was fine, just a regular neighborhood.The best thing was the game room and outdoor area. I believe that they are charging mostly for that. It was okay overall but would not return.
We were looking for a place large enough to keep our family entertained while meeting up with old acquaintances and family in the Houston area.
The Galveston Bay retreat offered just that. While our stay was to chilly to utilize the pool, the young adults had plenty to do in the added game room.
The kitchen was large enough to create a small Thanksgiving feast, and the house was plenty big enough to lounge about the rest of the day.
Location was close to Kemah Boardwalk, grocery stores, and other necessities.
Upon arrival we found some bonus snacks and drinks to make us feel welcome.
Check in was easy, and we were even offered an early check in!
The property was clean, secured, and well maintained for the area. You can tell the owners care.
We make it back to the Houston area about every 10 years, so hopefully this gem is still around. We would book again.
Definitely need bathroom by pool/gameroom; wifi could be better it was in/out whole time; other than that very nice place but being older the stairs are killer;
We had a great stay at this wonderful home in Bacliff. Our dogs had fun in the large yard and we had fun hanging out by the pool. Thanks for letting us stay!
We had a great week at this beautiful house. It is just as described but pictures donât do it justice. We all enjoyed the pool and game room. The owner was very easy to contact and quick response. We had one minor issue with the upstairs thermostat going out and it within an hour of contacting the owner, it was resolved. The kitchen is well equipped and plenty of towels and linens were provided. Was a quick drive to Galveston without the high cost of staying in Galveston. We wouldnât hesitate to stay there again. Thank you Lea for a wonderful after graduation vacation for our boys!
Lea was so attentive to any concerns we had, and was available when we had questions. The house had a pool and a great "party room"...when we weren't siteseeing, we were having fun at the house!
The property was 100% as advertised. We had a great stay. The kitchen is definitely high end, the pool was clean and warm. The pool house is a big plus. Be aware of the stairs to enter the house and the master bedroom is up a flight of stairs. I would have preferred there to be a door on the master bathroom but it wasn't a problem. I highly recommend the house for those that can navigate the stairs.
This house was perfect for our needs. We came to visit my sister for Thanksgiving and it turns out she lives right behind this house. What a blessing that was. My son flew in from Chicago and I, my husband and granddaughter flew in from FL.
The house was wonderful. It was stocked with lots of games that we played each night. The kitchen was very well stocked with dishes, pans and utensils.
If there was a negative, it would be that there is no light over the dining table so itâs hard to see at night when youâre trying to play games and read the cards.
It was cold, so we could only look at the pool and not swim
Process was easy. Pool was dirty and neighbor was very undesirable. No privacy from neighbors in pool area. The downstairs game room bar area saved the trip.
We really enjoyed our stay here. The neighborhood isn't the greatest but it was perfect for what we needed. The house was spacious and we enjoyed spending our days in the pool. It was a short drive to Kemah and Galveston.
We loved the property! It was very homey feeling and made our family feel welcome. The pool and game room were so nice & created fun space for family time. The dishwasher was broken when we arrived and the property owner addressed it very quickly. The property is well cared for and our family would love to stay there again!
2 familyâs used this property for a cross state meet up and had a wonderful time. Close to local attractions, the private pool was a hit with the kids.
The house was as stated online with plenty of room. The cabana area was nice and provided plenty of shade while outside. There was a pool table, card table, roulette table, and foosball table. The pool could use a good cleaning bc there was a large ring of green mildew around the bottom of it. The house could use an exterminator bc we saw lots of large roaches inside and around the pool area as well as spiders and other small insects. The master bathroom has no door so that was awkward. Especially since the extra bedroom with two twin beds is also in the master bedroom, so not much privacy. Otherwise, the house was great for our family. We had tons of fun.
We had an amazing time enjoying the pool and and games. The house was gorgeous. Property owner responded back right away when we contacted her with questions. We would love to stay again next summer.
