5 Reviews of Property 969842 in Surfside Beach, Texas

This rental was not at all what we expected. First of all, all of the pictures of the bedrooms are misleading. There was no comforter in the master bedroom or the bunkbed room. The 2 blankets that were provided did not cover even one person, much less a bed designed for 2. (why not show pictures of the bedrooms as they really look). The bunkbeds are futons and the other 2 beds are low to the ground platform beds with no boxsprings. When we arrived we were told that the water was not recommended to drink because it is well water and that we would need to go buy water. Great! Thanks for not letting us know that ahead of time. We then went to load up on a weeks worth of water for drinking and cooking. The place was just plain dirty (hair and grit all over floors and in drawers, smudge all over windows). I actually got on my hands and knees to clean the grime and smudge from the dining area windows. It is clear that a maid service is not used after each rental.Everyone has adifferent standard of clealiness. A maid service would rectify this problem. There was apparantly no garbage truck service. We were told to walk all the way to the trash bucket on the beach with our trash from the house. Really? All of the wooden chairs on the back deck look like they've been involved in a college bar fight. The leather couch in the picture is gross. It was sticky and looks beat up. The AC kept us up all night.The filter seemed so old and clogged that the system couldn't breath properly and was sounding like a small jet engine all day and night. We left after one night. The owner did offer us 5 free days to use between now and February. Thanks but no thanks!

Our family of four just returned from our vacation and we plan to make this an annual event. This property has EVERYTHING!

* Location: On the beach. There were times when it seemed we had the entire shoreline all to ourselves. There are two restaurants about 2 miles away that we visited when we wanted to eat out. Great food! The fishing was great. We caught some reds and trout.

* Ammenities: Brand new appliances! Dishwasher, Oven, Stove, microwave, Flat Screen TV's, satellite hook up, washer/dryer, central A/C. My wife loved the master bedroom. A lot of space with a huge bathroom. A lot of space. This house is big enough to hold multiple families without feeling crowded.

It is obvious from my stay that the owners take great pride in their home. Everything was well maintained and spotless. We have vacationed in similar type homes from Texas to Florida. Hands down, this was the best vacation experience we have had and plan to return for many summers in the future. We highly recommend!!!

Great place and location. This is a beautiful property and with a fantastic view of the gulf. It is peaceful and quiet with great accommodations and plenty of space. Easy access to Galveston and just the right distance to be away from it all. I would definitely recommend this place to all my friends.
