Worst stay ever! The beds were advertised as a king and 4 twins. We get there and it's a full, 2 twins, and 2 rollaway cots. Then the air conditioning system was not working properly. After numerous phone calls over a 5 hour period they finally got someone out to look at it. He informed us that they system duct wor was inadequate for the house and that was the reason it wouldn't cool properly. There was nothing he could do to help. It was 100+ degrees outside and best it would do was 78 inside the home. The curtains were falling off the wall and the floor had numerous soft spots in it.

Ryson failed to meet our expectations We rented a Galveston beach house in September 2023. We had rented the same house in 2022 through Ryson and had a good experience the first time. This year was not so good. It started when we called them the day before our rental started and asked about early entry, which had been allowed the year before. We were told if the house had been inspected, this would be allowed. We got down to the island and went to the office at 2:30 to ask for the key. Entry is at 4:00 by the terms. We still had to stop at the grocery store and them make the 30 min ride to the house. We were told that for $100 we could get the key early! We went and did our grocery shopping, then returned to pick up the key at 3:30. We arrived at the house to find a maintenance man there trying to repair a large shade in the master BR. He could not repair it, so we had a dark BR with no view for our 5 day rental. Other problems with the house was 1) the microwave did not work, 2) the ice maker did not work, 3) the freezer drawer was broken and would only open slightly, so that we could not place large items into the freezer, and 4) the oven vent was so dirty that when we cooked our first meal and heat started rising from the pots, we had dirty grease dripping down from the exhaust! The house was supposedly inspected, yet we were not informed about any of this. Multiple calls were made to the Ryson office about the issues. Regarding the broken microwave, they said they had placed a mini oven/air fryer in the kitchen -- NOT the same. Can't reheat coffee, etc... Nothing was fixed while we were there. When we were leaving and dropping off the key, we asked to talk to the manager about the issues with the house and lack of response from Ryson. We were told that Rhonda was not in. Once home, we called and spoke to Rhonda about the issues encountered. She was attentive and said she would check with her staff and get back with us. A few days later, we received an email OFFERING US $100 IF WE DID NOT POST ANY NEGATIVE REVIEWS ABOUT OUR STAY!!! She was not interested in seeing that we were satisfied with our experience and the service provided by Ryson, only that we would not offer any negative publicity about the company. We did not take the bribe as we wanted others to know what they can possibly expect.

Several people with Ryson are… Several people with Ryson are excellent. Bryan McDonald is the best at keeping me informed. The housekeepers I met were very good. I even use their recommended cleaner now at my home. I do not remember their names, but they come from LaMarque. Chase was helpful when I met him a few weeks ago. Houston is a very good painter. My biggest challenge is that various people do not respond to me or keep me informed. Also, I have asked repeatedly to be contacted via text. Still I receive emails with pertinent information days after an email has been sent. A text to direct me to an email would work, too.

Ryson is the 3rd company we have used… Ryson is the 3rd company we have used to manage our beach house rentals over the last 20 years. From the smallest to the largest. Ryson is in a completely different league. . As homeowners we feel valued and like we are part of the team. Our guests are happy, our home is clean and well maintained, communication is great Our revenue is up over 30% and they are so good to work with. I can't imagine using anyone else to manage our home.

Ryson is professional Ryson is professional, thorough, and easy to work with. I love having them manage my vacation property and I highly recommend them. I am looking forward to adding more properties for them to manage in the future. I currently am finishing a renovation project for a vacation rental and I will definetly utilize Ryson to manage this property. I have zero complaints when it comes to Ryson. They take care of guests but also takes care of property owners. I truly appreciate everything they have done for me and the guests that have stayed at my rental.
