Would not recommend BeachBox Vacation Rentals
The house was lovely and we were excited for a two-night stay. Upon arrival, the lockbox was unlocked and the guest key was missing. As instructed, I unlocked the housekeeping key instead, but didn't have to use it because all four sets of doors were unlocked. The home had been left unsecured for an unknown period of time. I let management know it felt unsafe. They said they would look into it. They did not. I next let them know the locks were corroded, and with much effort was able to get three of four sets of doors jammed locked. I let them know the house was unsecured, I could not safely stay the first night, requested a single-night refund, and had to find a hotel at extra expense with an hour's notice after dark. They refused my refund. I did not stay night one. The next day, I submitted more requests for maintenance updates, and was sent a video for how to lock the door type, which wasn't the issue given the locks were corroded and had to be jammed with force. I sent additional requests for maintenance, each with a vague "We will look into this for you" reply, until one that read, "We will have it checked today." They did not. No one ever came. I took safety measures into my own hands for the second night, asked again about a maintenance report, and the question was not answered. I was sent their standard checkout process details with no further info. Though the house was lovely, I would never recommend this company.

Nice Cabin that needs many repairs
Beautiful cabin that needs MANY repairs. Most repairs could be done in a day, but it seems that no one is overseeing the property on a regular basis. It could be so much nicer. Hopefully, items are taken care of quickly.

Owner does not honor VRBO policy
Be very cautious renting this house from Russell, he does NOT abide by VRBO’s posted policies. We were scheduled to stay at this property from 7/9 – 7/15 for a Dance competition in Galveston. Unfortunately a hurricane hit right before our arrival. The competition we planned to attend was going ahead as scheduled despite the storm so we were still making the trip. We are from South Louisiana and are very aware of how much a hurricane can affect an area so I was not surprised when Russell contacted me and said we could NOT check-in to his property. I was understanding of the situation having been in hurricane damaged areas myself. I asked if it was possible for a later day check-in so we could still make the competition. After not receiving a response we were forced to pull out of the competition. Due to the storm, VRBO has instituted their “Extenuating Circumstances Policy” which states that the property owner “Must refund the guest in full if they have not checked in to their reservation”. Despite the fact that he cancelled my reservation, Russell has refused to refund any of my Rental Payment, telling me to contact my travel insurance. In addition to him being the one who cancelled my reservation, the final invoice he sent for the rental states “Cancellation Policy: According to the cancellation policy on VRBO.” Apparently this is not the case and this owner follows his own policy despite stating the opposite on his invoice. I highly recommend looking and staying elsewhere.

The House Is Amazing!!!!!!!
Me and my family stayed for the weekend we all loved the house and how much space we all had in the entire house the pictures does not really actually show how beautiful this house really is. We also had a bunch on the front porch as we all watch the sunrise in the morning, I will most definitely be back soon
