“This house is far enough west of the busy-ness of Galveston to be away from heavy traffic and crowded beaches, but close enough to reach restaurants, sights, grocery stores, etc. w/o a long drive...and the private beach and view are right there in front of it! The separation of bedrooms and the 3 1/2 bathrooms make for a great floor plan. The living-dining area and kitchen are convenient, well-furnished, and appear to have been updated. The jacuzzi-equipped bathrooms not so much: we never could get either jacuzzi tub's jets to work (but they were used as bathtubs and/or standing up with hand-held showers, so the essentials worked okay). The deck in particular needs some work. It is spacious and wonderfully gated so that our dog was able to have access to the deck and to the marvelous fenced backyard (that should be advertised to pet owners!) without any danger of escaping, and it comes with 10 Adirondack chairs (not just the two shown in the photos). But there are periodic nails protruding from both the deck and the stairs accessing it, and overall the deck could simply use some attention. Having said that it is a wonderful wrap-around deck, and sitting out there to watch the surf and feel the wind was lovely. Several other repairs were needed (the ice maker, for instance) but were more easily accommodated than having a repair person around would have been. We gave Ryson a list of those items. All in all, Summer Breeze proved to be a good house and location for our week-long holiday.”

“We were disappointed in the condition of the home and response to a call regarding items not working. I called the office Tuesday morning to notify Ryson that the coffee maker was not working (would not drip into the pot), the ice maker was not working and that one of the two windows facing the Gulf was completely clouded with condensation (due to moisture between the window panes) and we were unable to see through it. Also, it was not until the second day that we realized there were blinds on the house and there were switches on the wall to operate them. It would have been nice had this information been in the check-in materials. The furniture is in poor condition and pretty uncomfortable. The home badly needs updating. We made the most of it, but will not be staying at this property again.”

“This house needs some TLC, but thanks to Ryson it was clean and well stocked. We ended up at this property due to a storm that was likely to flood the roads further west where we had booked so we were super appreciative of Ryson for finding this place for us on such short notice. This is a second row house, but it is sooo close to the beach that is doesn’t feel like a second row. We loved the location and definitely want to stay on or near Hershey Beach next year!! I’ve seen some bad reviews for Ryson and just wanted to say they were amazing. They called to check on us more than once, sent maintenance right away after the storm, came and tied things down prior to the storm. I was very impressed.”
