For me, JRoy Hall of Galveston Island Real Estate, is a bright shining beacon of hope in an…read moreotherwise unknown landscape of real estate agents. A year prior I had another agent and only three showings and no offers in twelve months. I needed someone who would sell my property. One of those agents who came with clients that year was JRoy. I was so impressed with his skills, I kept his card until my other contract ended and signed up with JRoy. That was the smartest thing I could have done. I found JRoy to be professional and knowledgeable in Galveston's real estate market with years of experience. JRoy's ability to overcome challenges and obstacles was desperately needed to sell my two vintage homes on one lot. JRoy sent a professional high-end photographer from Galveston to capture the quality of my two houses. Marketed my property relentlessly and a parade of qualified buyers began to view my homes. When I called JRoy with questions, he answered the phone personally. JRoy prepared me for the inspection and appraisal process with the necessary knowledge to pass each stage efficiently. Soon JRoy found me buyers, they bidded against one another and then sold my property to the highest bidder! His supportive nature was offered every step of the way as we sold my homes quickly and for more money than I expected. I only have positive feedback for my personal experience with JRoy Hall of Galveston Island Real Estate!

THESE PEOPLE ARE UNPROFESSIONAL AND DO NOT DO THINGS ETHICALLY…read more If you are a renter in Galveston and are looking for a property management: DO NOT USE THESE PEOPLE!!!! When we arrived the house was very very dirty (we actually took pictures). We called Castaways and they were short and slightly rude, as if we were making it up. So I sent them the pictures and they finally admitted it and had a maid come out SIX HOURS LATER!!! Then we found out they charge us $50 (!!!!) for a bag with ONE roll of toilet paper! REALLY??? No apology, would not call us back - just terrible.

Want to warn you in advance…read more... We just returned from a week rental in Galveston in the Pirates Beach area. We rented a Castaways property and found them easy to rent from. We never spoke with anyone, only communicated by email and paid with a credit card. The home was in a great location and close to the beach, but that is all that I can say that was a positive in this experience. Castaways does not allow you to pick up keys until 4pm and not after 5pm. O, you have a 1 hour window or you pay a $30 service for late pick up. We got to our rental home at 5:30pm, excited for the week. We went into the house and immediately noticed the furnishings were very worn down and actually quite stained. Even the throw pillows on the couch looked bad. The floors were linoleum squares that were stained and after walking around without shoes, all of us had black, dirty feet. Yikes! We had only been in the house for an hour. We decided to make the best of it and poured a glass of wine and went to sit on the patio. View to the beach was nice and we started planning our week. We sat down at the patio table and one of the chairs immediately lost a leg, when we pulled it away from the table. Clearly, it had been that way and made to look like it was not broken. Dinner was fast approaching, so we made our way into the kitchen to make an easy meal. The refrigerator was so dirty,I quickly decided to clean it before I would unpack anything or start a meal. There was not a sharp knife in the entire kitchen or even a cookie sheet to bake a frozen pizza on. The evening passed and we started to get towels out of a laundry bag that was part of our 'linen service'. There were two laundry bags and we found that one of them held sheets and one held towels. It is not fun to make beds at 9pm on the first night of your vacation, when you assumed that 'linen service' meant that towels and sheets would be on the bed and in the bathroom! There were pillows on the beds but they were very thin and I went to check the closets for extras. I found 4 extra pillows but two of them had substantial water stains and smelled musty. The other two pillows had large blood stains on them. Needless to say, we did not use them. I share this review with you so that you will know that Castaways Rental and Realty does not have a good Housekeeping standard and that the homes they rent do not need to be updated, well stocked or functional. I did call the next morning to report the pillows, dirty floor and refrigerator, broken chair, and unmowed yard. I was told that their policy requires that you call in housekeeping issues within your first hour of occupancy on the same day and they would not do anything after that time. I was told that pillows and lawn furniture were the responsibility of the homeowner and they could not offer any assistance. We spent three nights there and jumped ship. It was too much to deal with on a vacation!

Homeowner - May 2019 Pelican Pass has now been successful…read moreand we would like to take this opportunity to also express our very thanks to both of the rental associates, for how carefully and efficiently you took care of the rental at our "dream house on the beach" in the past, which meant so much to us. We are well aware how just one bad renter can potentially make a mess but your good observance and screening work made sure, that all through last years our beach rental remained in great shape. Thank you for doing such an outstanding job!! We like to assure you, that we would be honored to recommend your excellent rental services to anyone! Homeowner - October 2019 I'm sure we will probably jump into the rental market again at some point with the great service you guys provide, we wouldn't have it any other way than Wolverton. We do sincerely appreciate you guys looking after our house when we were so far away.

We have a house that has been managed by Wolverton. It has been a horrible experience.

They don't inspect well when renters leave, so we get stuck with damages and a dirty house. I am currently searching for another option. I will not use them again to manage a property and would never rent a property that they manage. They have completely ruined the experience of owning a beach house.

Location: Its basically beachfront, and private. So it's not a crowded beach. It's also so close to the seawall, and to restaurants/ groceries/ conveniences. I recommend Seawall Coffee in the morning for delicious coffee and food (only about a mile away). House: We fit 4 kids and 5 adults very comfortably. It has great communal space for games, movie night, etc. The house feels well taken care of and up to date. Can't wait to go back!

I am extremely disappointed with my experience with Sand 'N Sea and Capri Blu. This was not my…read morefirst time renting through this company, which is why I felt comfortable booking again for my daughter's birthday weekend. Unfortunately, this experience was completely different. From the moment we arrived on September 25, we encountered several problems. There were a large number of bees around the outdoor hot tub area, which I immediately reported to Joleen by text and sent her a video. She responded that maintenance would bring sticky fly traps. The house also had a strong musty odor that smelled like mold, and the fire alarm activated three separate times, repeatedly beeping. The situation became even more upsetting when police arrived at the property. We were told there had been a report that the garage door had been forced open. This was not true. We did not damage or break the garage lock. Police officers entered the home and went through the house, and seeing several police vehicles outside was extremely frightening for the children. My daughter became scared and left crying. What was supposed to be a special birthday weekend with her cousins became a very unpleasant and frightening experience. We were also uncomfortable with the location of an exterior security camera near the outdoor shower area. After everything that happened, we left the property that same evening at approximately 9:40 p.m. and did not spend a single night there. We had to gather our belongings and find a hotel for our family that same night. I contacted Joleen by text that evening and explained what had happened. I then contacted Wray Jean Hinojosa, who requested photos, videos, and supporting documentation, which I provided. Since then, I have made multiple attempts to contact management by email and phone regarding my reimbursement request. My partner also called and left a voicemail. As of October 2, 2026, I still have not received a substantive response regarding my request for a full reimbursement. I am sharing this experience because I believe future guests should know what happened before choosing to book this property.
