Amazing stay

The place was spotless, with every corner meticulously clean and well-maintained. The highlight, though, was the stunning view from the living room. The atmosphere was peaceful, and it was the perfect spot to relax and unwind. I’d highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a clean, scenic getaway.

great stay!

loved the house for the weekend! Room set up was perfect for our group and had all the amenities. The pool was great, we grilled, and went fishing off the pier. If you’re planning to cook for a large group would recommend bringing bigger pots/pans but there was some smaller ones supplied there! We had a welcome committee of a little stray cat who was super friendly and cute but did try and sneak into the house once or twice. Overall had a great time!

Thanksgiving family Gathering

The Tranquil Home was the perfect place for our large family gathering. Our teens enjoyed the game room activities, smores by the fire while the adults fired up the pit for some good Texas style bar-be-cue. My husband and I enjoyed our morning coffee in the upstairs master suite as we watched a breath taking Sunrise. Although there were some inconveniences such as some of the appliances did not work and the plumbing had issues we were able to get through. All and all our family time was priceless and memorable.

Breathtaking

This property was hands down gorgeous. There was enough room for everyone. The pool was amazing. The host was amazing. There was a few gnats, but it’s the beach so that was to be expected. Not so much of a pest to ruin our time. The pool is not heated and we didn’t mind at all. It was hot enough outside for us to just dive in. Honestly I miss this place already! I have been singing this property praises to whoever would listen, lol

The house was big and had plenty of parking. Everything was pretty clean. The host was very responsive. There were some minor issues like the full bathroom door was broken so you couldn't close it. One of the closet doors in the bedroom was broken and the door knob from the garage was also broken/loose. I told the host about these issues and said they would notify their handyman. Overall we had a good time.

A dangerous pier

The home is nice , awesome pool ,but we did have to get someone out to clean it ,very dirty one of the reasons i wanted to rent this place is because my mom loves to fish & I did ask the host about the pier prior to going and he replied back saying the pier was in great shape! That pier is not in good shape, my brother was the only one who made it on the pier , my uncle had to have help to get back My brother would love to go back if he could just fix the pier

Everything is bigger in Texas

The house was exactly as pictured. So much room, the views are beautiful! The only negative, we brought our fur babies and the back yard where the pool is, was not completely fenced as we were told. We came the 2nd week of February and were not able to use the pool due to cooler weather. The beds were fantastic! The home was clean and well put together. The garage/gameroom was awesome! Great communication with management. We would recomend Pier 6 and The Landry House for dinner out. Galveston Beach is a short drive. The private pier is pretty scary, but the guys went out daily and took a charter fishing trip as well. We would definitely come back! A good time was had by all!

Unfortunately... roach infestation

We really loved everything about this house until we ran across the roaches. Nothing will ruin a stay more than a roach infestation. There were a ton of tiny roaches in the kitchen as well as some larger ones too. Thankfully most (not all) of the roaches we saw were confined to the kitchen. That just made the kitchen unusable for us. I told the property manager about the problem and they were very responsive and I believe took the problem seriously. I will say we would give the property 5 out of 5 if not for the roaches.Aside from the roaches... we loved the charm of the house. Beds were comfy. We used the fire pit and the game room/garage. We loved the old school arcade games. There was so much sleeping room we could not make use of it all. This would be a great place for an extended family vacation. The pier was rickety, we didn't try it. The view of the water from the upstairs bedroom was amazing!!

Dissatisfied

First of all the property did not look like the pictures. Garden needed manicured, trees needed trimmed, house was not that clean, furniture needed updating, toilet seat was broken, saw some roaches, holds in the front of the house, pool was not clean, at the back door walking to the car there are some parts of the walkway that need repair could cause a bad accident also on the upper deck a board was broken. It was just not what I expected. I was very disappointed with location and look of house. Needs painting.

San Leon Girls/Mom's Trip

We definitely enjoyed our stay at this San Leon home. The pictures and listing were very accurate, and the Owner/Host was very engaged and easy to reach. The property was also great and inviting, whether you are using the awesome pool or sitting in the back yard areas to relax. The only cons from our perspective were the following: the main bath toilet seat was fully cracked in half at the front so it was difficult to sit on, and even though the Owner was very responsive, no maintenance person showed up to replace it; kitchen could use a little TLC just from an aesthetics standpoint; we'd prefer curtains or blinds on all the windows that have none for privacy (especially when you're in an unfamiliar location); the upstairs deck could use chairs instead of one bench as the view is awesome - understand that this could be challenging due to wind/weather, so maybe ones that are permanently anchored would work; the upstairs bathroom door could use a curtain or covers on the glass panels (again for the privacy factor); the fishing pier is definitely rickety, so that is a "do so at your own risk" kind of thing. Aside from those minor items, everything else was lovely and we would absolutely stay here again. Look forward to booking our next trip here!!

VERY DISAPPOINTED!!! My family booked this place for my son 10th birthday. He loves fishing and swimming. We stayed at this place before and enjoyed it so we booked again even tho it was double the price. I confirmed with the host a week and the day before to see if the pier and the pool are good. The host confirmed and said it was good. So when we got there, the pier was unstable and broken and pool was dirty. My family , especially my son was so disappointed. He said it was the worse birthday ever. We didnt stay and left. I messaged the host and the office and notified them. They said someone will get back to me and no one did. The next day i called again and they said the same thing. Tuesday, i called and they cant do anything about it since it was checkout. So i basically paid for this property and didnt get to use the amenities and didnt stay. The trouble that we had to go thru for this trip and very disappointing that the host and Beachbox staffs didnt care about the situation. paid thifoe this property and didnt gs

Would book again but !

First I want to say that over all this is a very nice house with a great pool. There where a few issues with the kitchen that I was not happy with. Cabinets and Drawers where dirty and we where having a family dinner so I used part of my time cleaning them. I also felt I had to wash all the items in the drawers. The kitchen need some repair on drawers that are broke. They have tons of flatware and plates but not much cookware and what is there is broke. I ended up buying a frying pan. The rest of the house is very nice and I had no other issues. Russell the house manager it very responsive to your texts and I was happy with this. The pool was fantastic and the upstairs bed room is beautiful. I wish the upstairs deck had chairs not a large bench. The bay had beautiful sunsets and sunrises. We are not fishing people but the pier looked a little unsafe but I grew up on this bay and you can fish lots of place or off the water front. There is a country park near by you can fish at if that is what you want to do. The back yard needs some maintenance but with the current hot weather in Texas that was not supprising to me. The front yard was great and it was easy to walk our dog. So I would rent this house again or from Beach Box. Hopefully they will get the kitchen fixed so it is a perfect house.

We got to this place and the floors were sticky, there were multiple roaches, the toilet paper holders were not fixed. There was mold in the downstairs bathroom and even on the shower curtain. The coffee pot, oven, and dishwasher were broken. We were told we had access to the pier across from the house and it was extremely unkept, and quite frankly dangerous. The size of the house and the pool were great tho. lol
