Great Stay at the Lei
We just spent our first family Christmas away from Louisiana family. We looked for something that could accomodate a large group and was comfortable. When I say this property satisfied all of our needs and more...IT DID 100 percent! The property was as listed. We really didnt have to bring anything but food. The property had a lot of utensils, pots, pans, bowls, etc... There are multiple refrigerators and a deep freezer to keep food. The beds were super comfortable. There was ample amount of bathrooms throughout.The openess of the floor plan allowed us to have multiple family activities going on but still enjoy each others company with laughter. The kids enjoyed the outside area playing soccer and football. It was a very quick walk to the beach. Kids are looking forward to the next stay. If you are looking for a property that meets all of your needs this is it. Look no further. Hope this review answers all of yoyr questions.

Family Vacation
We had a wonderful time, loved the house and how close it was to the beach, perfect for family vacation. Elevator was a little small for the wheelchair to fit but we made it work! Reason for the 4 stars-AC was working but took a long time to cool off, was in the 80's when we got to the house. The first night was a little too hot in some rooms but made it work.

Great house. Super close to beach
We were coming right off the heels of hurricane Beryl so there were a few things out of whack (no one’s fault but Mother Nature’s). For example, the street was flooded and there were some other issues with the air conditioning, water coming through windows, etc. But they got an AC guy out quickly to fix the air conditioning.
The house itself is great, very spacious, lots of room for hanging out, playing games, and sleeping. It has pretty much everything you need, dishes, refrigerator space, beach chairs/toys, and an outdoor shower for rinsing off. It’s also a super short and easy walk(1-2min) to the bridge to get to the beach (only downside was walking through Beryl’s leftover flood waters). After we had some days of sun, it dried right up though.
We’d definitely rent this house again. Highly recommended.

Perfect!
Our stay at Marisol’s was perfect! Place was more spacious than the pictures look. My family and friends had a blast and enjoyed our visit to the beach. Didn’t think we’d need the elevator but it turned out to be a life saver when it came to taking stuff up and down between the floors. Thanks for opening up your home to us. Will definitely be coming back!

Galveston treasure
Our VRBO rental was a beautiful home that sleeps 14. Well cared for and only a few steps from the beach. A deck and balcony had great views of the ocean. I took my grand children and great grand children. There were 4 adults and 6 children and there was plenty of room. This house also had an elevator which was prefect for me due to some health issues. I will definitely rent this house in the future. Thanks for a great stay!

Lovely experience
This is a beautiful property. Communicating with the host was very easy. The only issues were with the full bath downstairs where the water from tub drained very slowly and 4 out of 5 trash cans were full when we got there. Still, we set all trash cans out for pick up on Monday when we left. Will definitely recommend to friends.

Time to be still and know that HE is God
Each year 10 of us friends/sisters in Christ put on a retreat for ourselves. All of us are involved in ministry at our different Catholic churches in Houston and Marfa. This is an annual retreat that all of us look forward to...And Jesus makes it happen. Our destination has always been Galveston because of the beach, seagulls and sunrises. Several of us require an elevator which this house offers. The house is in need of some repairs. We rented this same house last year and the hole in the living room wall is still there...We've always had problems with reception on TV... There is only one full bathroom upstairs which can be a problem with 10-12 people staying there.

Thoroughly enjoyed our trip. Beach house was exactly what we expected. Walk to the beach was only a few steps. Could see the beach from the house. Owner was very quick to answer any questions we had and kept in communication with us as needed. We will definitely be staying here again.

Family togetherness
Very comfortable with the exception of the front bedroom mattress. We have been doing family time at the beach got 22 years. Staying here the last two years has been the best. As grand parents age , the elevator is a must.

A short stay in Galveston
The home was lovely, but the housekeeping needs attention. There is a refrigerator in the dining room that reeks of fish. I made the mistake of opening the refrigerator door and it was full of fish juice and was so foul smelling. The dishwasher was not clean and only one pod was available to use. Had I known, I could have brought dishwashing supplies. The house is gorgeous though. The host was lovely and talked to me, prior to the visit.

Great Location
We rented this property for Mother’s Day for family for my mother in law. The home is in a very quiet area and has great easy access to the beach. Even my MIL could get to the beach with her walker over the walkway. Marisol was very easy to work with and communication and response time was excellent. We had a few hiccups… the third floor ac was not working when we arrived, but it was corrected the next afternoon. The last night we were there it rained and leaked through the roof in the living room, just reported it upon leaving, the washing machine would not drain when we did a light load of clothes the last morning we were there, and the ice maker did not work… but not a big deal, we just bought several bags of ice and it was great to have the chest freezer. Loved the fact that there are two refrigerators, two ovens, and a chest freezer. Kitchen is well stocked. The elevator was the biggest attraction for us, without it mom could not have made the trip probably. Having the shower downstairs to rinse off prior to coming in is a plus as well. All in all… minor issues.. but we are looking at returning for Thanksgiving.
