Buena Vida the good life!

Simple clean cute beach house that met our family’s needs for quick weekend getaway! Beach access across the street and beach was more private which was nice! Highly recommended!

Would like to stay again

Overall this property was great! Very spacious, nice beds and close proximity to beach. However the dishwasher ended up not working and I had to spend time washing all our dishes. Then we had ants in the counter. And though I let the manager know, it was not taken care of during our stay. Besides needing pots with lids and a bit more spices, it's a great house. Away from the busyness of Galveston.

Nice place - not ready for guests

Nice property. If taken care of, it'd be a nice place to vacation. My big complaint was the refrigerator didn't work. Somebody knew about that, unplugged it, and added a small fridge in the dining room to try to make up for it. No communication to us whatsoever. A regular side-by-side fridge is 22+ cubic feet... this one is 7.2. We arrived with a car full of groceries to an undersized fridge that couldn't handle the food and the TINIEST freezer. So much for frozen foods and ice on a beach vacation. Vacasa customer service was useless. Promised the local team would reach out. Not something you want to deal with on vacation. They never called. Still nothing from them after checking out. Overall - nice place. Service was non-existent.

Beautiful Home & Great Location, But Not Guest-Ready Yet

We stayed at this property from Thursday to Sunday (June 5–8, 2025). The home itself is beautiful, and the view from the porch was fantastic. It’s just a short walk to the beach, which we really appreciated. However, several issues made the stay less comfortable than expected. The downstairs bathroom sink didn’t work, the washer didn’t spin water out properly, and the dryer wouldn’t run correctly—it kept showing a lint trap warning even after we cleaned it. The main door wouldn’t stay shut unless it was locked, which was inconvenient and a bit concerning. The listing says the home sleeps 8, but there weren’t enough chairs or comfortable seating for that many people. The dining and bar chairs had no backs, so meals and group time weren’t as relaxing as we’d hoped. It also felt like the home was staged for selling rather than thoughtfully prepared for guests. Another big inconvenience was the fridge. The main fridge didn’t work, so we had to make do with a small mini fridge for a three-night stay. That made food planning difficult, especially since grocery stores aren’t nearby (Walmart is 25 minute drive). Also, basic supplies like toilet paper were minimal, with just two rolls per bathroom for the entire stay. This property has a lot of potential because of its location and layout, but it needs some attention to be truly ready for guests. With a few key improvements, it could be a great beach rental.

Great space for two families

Lovely space, very clean and newly appointed. Would recommend for families and those traveling that want to stay away from the main drag.

Beautiful House and Location, Could Use Better House Keepers

House is beautiful and we loved the location right across the street from the beach. House could use better house keepers. Kitchen, Bathrooms and Linens were all nice and clean. The floors however, had black dog hair everywhere. With a baby crawling everywhere, luckily there was a vacuum inside to get it actually clean.

Home Away From Home

Loved the way the place was decorated. Nice location. Very nice pool in the community. Never could figure out how to get the remote to operate the TV in the master bedroom but that was only a minor inconvenience. Overall a great vacation stay.

Great Family Beach House!

This house was very spacious, it fit all 8 of us comfortably. It was conveniently located steps away from the beach. The view from the deck was perfect for us! This house has everything you would need for cooking and cleaning. I would definitely recommend staying here, it was a great experience.

Lovely Beach Home

We had a perfect stay at this Lovely Beach Home! The size was just right for a family of 5 (and kids brought friends). Comfy, clean home that we would definitely rent again.
