We booked the A-frame house several months prior to our stay, paid in full a month prior. 24 hours before check-in, we were notifed by the property owner/management company that the A-frame
house was not available due to damage to the pool. They offered us another property, not in Jamaica Beach, but looked adequate to accommodate our group of 13. There was back and forth discussion through VRBO emailing about whether property #2 had a pool bc pics didn't show one. Commutations from owner went dark until after 10pm the night before we were set to drive the 6+ hours to Galveston. I finally got in touch with someone who confirmed the change. House number 2 was clean, big, had plenty of space for our group, etc. But in direct line of sight to the beach, essentially in the front yard, is a warehouse facility of some sort. Folks who rent property #2 should know that, but alas, I am not offered a forum to comment on that property so anything else I have to say about that house is kind of a moot point here. We did drive by the A-frame to look at it and it looks fine from the outside, if not a little "over represented" in the VRBO photos. I will add that we did not see renters occupying the A-frame house property (the house we paid for but were relocated out of). The owner made good on the change and we were ultimately satisfied with the 2nd property. I know things happen, so, whatever. But all in all, I rate the whole experience a B+.
