5/16/2025: We rented a beach house for my friend's 50th birthday. Before getting settled, we…read morestopped in the neighborhood restaurant. As a guest, you have to stop by the office to obtain a wristband in order to use any of the Pointe West facilities. I have a service dog and immediately registered her upon arrival, as I am a rule follower. The ladies at the desk were not the nicest at first. They obviously have a registration form because we registered her, but it seemed like they didn't want to allow my dog in when we first walked in. They have a swimming pool, bar, restaurant, and lounge, from what I could tell. We didn't stay long since we needed to get back to the house to decorate. When we entered the restaurant, AFTER registering my dog, the lady in the restaurant had to call for approval. She was a little annoyed and seemed to not trust me when I told her I already registered my dog. Keep in mind, you cannot get passed the gate without stopping by the office because you have to have a code. Once we got passed the service dog "issue", the service was good. We started with the ceviche. It was very tasty. My friend and I split the shrimp platter. Terrific shrimp and onion rings! The serving is perfect for two to split. The atmosphere was a little bland, so I took off one star. Plus, I was still embarrassed it was an ordeal with my dog. I hate confrontation. I felt a place like this (especially for what we spent for the beach house) would be a little high scale of professionalism and decor. Side note: Our beach house was $3700.00 for the weekend - 3 days, 2 nights.

We rented a three bed, two bath unit this labor day weekend. The pool areas are very nice. The…read morelocation is really good. The issue? The elevators did not work and we had brought our 80 year old mother in law. I have read many reviews and the big complaint on the units on the back side by the bay is that the elevators are a mess. Not cool. There is no management on site and the grounds keeper we met did not speak English. Why are there no towel stations at the pools? Security guards were friendly.

A central sleeping porch with ceiling fans features two twin beds. The separate bedroom bungalow (connected to the main house by the sleeping porch) houses the queen master bedroom, a bunk bedroom and a shared bathroom with a garden tub and separate rain shower. The best part? The beach is only a short walk away!

Review of beach home in Galveston. Rented through VBRO/VACASA…read moreOceanside Paradise 24079 Termini San Luis Pass Rd, Galveston TX, 77554 A very nice home but very poorly maintained. A few examples: 1. The master shower leaked, not dripped. Wasting a lot of water. Maintenance man finally came but could not fix the leak. 2. Mold in shower was terrible. 3. Dead insects under beds and behind couches. 4. Some dishes dirty. 5. Walk way to beach was flooded. We had to go to the next house to use a properly built walkway. 6. Picket missing in upstairs deck. Very dangerous for small children. 7. Floor was marginally cleaned. 8. Listing showed 4 twin beds but actually had only two and two rollaways. Terrible mattresses throughout.

We've stayed at Galveston Island KOA Holiday for the past two years, and I want to share an honest…read moreexperience for anyone considering a stay. First, the positives: this is a beautiful campground with great amenities. The pool, hot tub, and lazy river are fantastic, and many of the staff members are friendly, helpful, and genuinely care about guests. Galveston itself offers so much to do--we especially loved spending time on The Strand and exploring the area. Unfortunately, the biggest issue is the management, which significantly impacts the overall experience. The park manager is unapproachable and runs the campground in a way that feels more focused on control and extra charges than guest satisfaction. Fees are added for things like early arrival, and communication often feels excessive and negative rather than helpful. While guests receive multiple daily texts about activities, we also received messages about things like dog waste in washing machines and stolen cleaning wipes--issues that could have been handled more professionally. There were also ongoing maintenance concerns both years we stayed. We experienced multiple days without water due to plumbing issues, and during our second year, the park was down to a single bathroom because of structural damage. We were told portable restrooms were coming, but they never arrived. Activities were amazing our first year, but the second year saw frequent cancellations. Even simple guest comfort requests--like putting down pavilion sides to block strong wind--were denied, despite those same features being used for staff events. Another concern is how complaints are handled. When an inappropriate interaction with a staff member was reported, there was no management available, and no follow-up from the manager afterward. That lack of accountability was disappointing. It's also worth noting that feedback appears to be filtered internally, meaning corporate oversight may not be getting the full picture. We also noticed an increase in police and emergency presence during our second stay, along with a shift in the overall campground atmosphere. To be clear, this could be one of the best campgrounds in the area--it has all the right ingredients. But until there is more professional, guest-focused management and accountability, it's hard to justify returning. #KOA #KOACamping #GalvestonTX #RVLife #CampgroundReview #RVTravel #FullTimeRV #RVLiving #CampingLife #TravelTexas #HonestReview #CustomerExperience #RVCommunity #CampgroundLife #TravelReview #ExploreTexas #RVAdventures
