Beautiful beach house

Great location and comfortable house.
Our family enjoyed our stay. The location and views were great. There was an issue with the septic tank but it was cold so we didn’t spend too much time outside. Other than that, we highly recommend this house.

Gals Trip
Great view. Lots of bedrooms with private bathrooms, which made it really nice for us for gal pals who are all over 55. Kitchen was very spacious, overall had a fantastic time. No need to bring bags of ice, since there is a functioning ice machine, which was nice.

Beachfront Getaway
Location was great. Easy access to beach, Owner worked with us and answered questions timely. If you plan to stay here you will want to bring extra blankets. There was only one extra blanket but 2 women who freeze. I would try and find out prior to booking if there are any planned events at the beach. Sadly this was our kids Prom and we were unable to access the beach due to a Swingers convention going on the entire weekend. It was very disapointing! The whole scene was very dusturbing! Drugs-nudity-vulgerness.

Great House!
Awesome location and the house has a wonderful layout and features. We really enjoyed our stay. My one recommendation would be to replace the key lock box. We had trouble checking in and checking out with it. THANK YOU for the great week. We will be back :).

This is our second stay at this property. We love the location and it accommodates us well. We were never able to lock the door and could not lock it with the key. Same issue as last year. Needs a new solution.

Girls' Weekend
Great time spent with friends and family before a first wedding. We had a catered brunch scheduled for another house in Holiday Beach, but when we entered the main room, our immediate reaction was....."this is perfect". The chef agreed when he came Saturday morning. We were able to get sun on the front porch and even had a pinata hanging from the upstairs' railing that exploded on the grass below. We all really enjoyed our stay. Wish we could have been there longer.

Disliked: Cleanliness, communication
It’s a really nice property but not clean
We loved the location and had plenty of space for our two families. We loved the large decks, beautiful view and large kitchen table. We were disappointed with the cleanliness of the house and text the owner when we got there with the number provided and she never responded. The whole house was dusty. We found hair and dead bugs in showers, window sills, sinks, etc. there were crumbs and dust in the kitchen drawers and we had to clean utensils and plates before using. The comforter and shams were very dirty and had something crusty on them. So we had to remove them off the bed and use our own blanket that we thankfully brought. We ended up washing all of our sheets before sleeping because we couldn’t be certain they were actually clean. The couch cushions were stained and dirty. Its too bad because it put a damper on the weekend feeling like we had to clean just to enjoy the house.

Wonderful beach vacation house (family friendly)
We had a wonderful time at the Surfing Mermaids house and thoroughly enjoyed our visit. This is a great beach house for a family (or multi-family) vacation. We would definitely book this house again - of the trips we've taken to the Galveston area, this was the best house we've stayed in. Owner / property manager: The owner / property manager was easy to work with and quick to respond to our questions - much appreciated. The house was instantly bookable, which was very convenient. Location: This house is located steps away from the beach (across an access driveway) - less than a 1 minute walk. Finding the house can be a little tricky using typical map programs - there are two roads named the same thing about 4 miles apart (this house is farther northeast). It's a toss-up: half of the map programs seem to locate the wrong one. The check-in instructions could point this out to make the house easier to find. Features: The house has been recently updated and includes many nice features. It matched the listing photos and our expectations. Here are a few features that we noticed: nice layout, granite kitchen counters and a very nice dining table, sturdy deck chairs (heavy, wooden, w/ drink holders), ground-level outdoor shower and bar area, plenty of seating in the main living area, TV with surround sound, satellite TV, working internet (a little slow at times), nice floors & decor, decent bathrooms (relatively modern), convenient washer & dryer. The house had a typical set of kitchen equipment (coffee maker, toaster, etc.) with stainless steel appliances: stove top (electric) & oven, microwave, refrigerator, dishwasher). Cleanliness: Upon arrival the house was clean, counters were wiped (appeared to be disinfected) and beds were straightened. Linens were present and packaged in plastic wrap (a welcome touch in the days of COVID). No hand soap was provided - that's somewhat understandable during COVID, but it is a small thing to provide that we personally found missing/expected. Things that could be improved: The lock box code we were given was incorrect. We checked Vrbo's app, our check-in instructions, etc. - the code was incorrect in all places we looked. We figured it out, but that was a poor first impression. Thankfully, that's easy to fix. As mentioned above, the similarly named roads could be addressed in the check-in instructions. Also consider providing hand soap and/or other small/inexpensive consumable items (such as toilet paper).
