Mold, Musty, Dirty, Dilapidated, Left Early
What a beautiful spot and what a horrible house! So horrible that we could not stay our entire time and had to leave early. The biggest issue is the black mold that is visible and the musty smell hits you when you walk in. When we got home all of our clothes had to be washed, even the ones we didn’t wear, because they smelled musty. There is visible mold on the curtain and windows. I am sure behind the paneling it is riddled with mold. Other issues: it’s just run down and the online pictures must be really old because it’s not that nice. The patio furniture is different and not nice like the pictures. The place is leaning and one bedroom door doesn’t stay shut, and it doesn’t have a doorknob. The top of the refrigerator is up against the wall but the bottom has a 5 inch gap. The bathroom doors are ridiculous. Dirty and grimy yes, but no knobs and just 99 cent hooks to keep shut. Instead of properly fixing the central AC the owners went on the cheap and put window AC units. They are noisy and near the beds and couch and thus impossible to open windows to air the place out. There is so much condensation between the living room window panels of glass it literally beads all day and it is difficult to see out that window. You know that adds to all the mold. Other lame issues, living room tv didn’t work kitchen utensils were dirty. Dried food crusty kind of dirty. So much for the cleaning fee. Lamps busted, paint all messed up and dirty. Don’t stay here!

Great little Beach house
Clean and very cute place. it’s older but had a homey feel and was very comfortable. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Relaxed and enjoyed listening to the waves. I have no complaints at all. Owners responded to our question about the internet very quickly. All was good and I’d stay there again.

It’s a very nice place. There are a lot of good stores nearby. We had a good time while we were there. The beach is great and the views from the deck were amazing.

Awesome view and great location
Great location for a small group. Perfect place for my wife and I to celebrate our anniversary. Appliances look new and house was neat and clean. Shaded deck with terrific view of the Gulf.

Mother-Daughter weekend
The home was the perfect size for me and my daughter. We sat on the front porch in the mornings and evenings and watched the waves roll in and out. Close to the city of Galveston to meet up with friends for lunch and stroll The Strand.

Did not stay.
We walked into the property and it was 90 degrees in the house. None of the air conditioners were on. We were able to turn on one of the window units but someone came to turn on the other one. The house had a very strong urine smell and we were told by the owners representative who came to turn on the air conditioner that it was because the house was close to the ocean. The representative also was spraying disinfectant after he turned on the air. He could smell the foul odor. I lived in a coastal town my first 17 years and ocean does not make a house smell like a litter box. Also the pictures did not match the listing and the front door looked like it had seen better days. There were loose boards on the deck. I like renting a beach house so my 80 year old mother can watch the ocean from the deck. The stairs and deck were not safe for her to walk on. We asked the owner and Evolve for a refund and they refused. We booked another property and did not stay one night in the Bristow house. We suspect the house may have black mold because all of our allergies were blooming after just the little time we were there. I was extremely happy with the house we stayed in last year and thought listings on VRBO could be trusted. You might want to take this one down off your site. Now I am out over $4000 for my weeks vacation on accommodations since we had to book somewhere else. I am very unhappy!

Great place needs work
Great location right off the beach with great extras like towels cooking ware and other little things just felt like the house could have looked a little nicer on outside and a little nicer lighting like rope lights and the house had a sewer smell at front door and ran on window units so house was pretty warm most of the time but had a great time sitting on the patio and enjoying the ocean breeze

Seascape
Pictures on listing were outdated. Initial impression was disappointing. After entering the property the interior was better than the exterior. A/C was ok at night, not so much during the heat of the day. Deck roofing very rusty & has big holes in it (but it didn’t rain while we were there) Some of the features advertised were not present: outdoor grille, foot washing shower, etc. Arrived on Friday & trash bin was already full & wasn’t emptied until Monday after we checked out. The house was sufficient for our needs, but had a few issues. Next time I will pay a little more & maybe get something a little nicer.

Cute little beach house
We had a great time here! Great location next to the beach! Cons: It's a little run down and outdated, tiny shower, terrible walkway, we were awoken by a neighbors air pump ( thin walls ), couldn't access the washer and dryer and the house was 90 degrees when we arrived.. June in the Texas heat.. Took almost 18 hours to cool off and the fridge smelled. Pros : Seems like a safe neighborhood, great location, cute, good for two ppl even though it could technically accommodate more.

Lovely Location!
We absolutely loved the location of this cottage. Breathtaking views, short walk to the beach and away from all the traffic. The cottage itself was the perfect size for our family. We spent most of our time outside, so mostly used it for sleeping. The only issue we ran into was the A/C window units didn’t cool very well and were extremely noisy. If you like a bath sheet size towel, bring your own, as the ones provided are small. The kitchen had all we needed for preparing our meals. The kitchen, bathroom and beds were clean, but the place could use a deep clean of the windows, floorboards, trim and fresh paint. We would definitely stay again, as the location was perfect,
