Would like to stay again
Overall this property was great! Very spacious, nice beds and close proximity to beach. However the dishwasher ended up not working and I had to spend time washing all our dishes. Then we had ants in the counter. And though I let the manager know, it was not taken care of during our stay. Besides needing pots with lids and a bit more spices, it's a great house. Away from the busyness of Galveston.

Beautiful House and Location, Could Use Better House Keepers
House is beautiful and we loved the location right across the street from the beach. House could use better house keepers. Kitchen, Bathrooms and Linens were all nice and clean. The floors however, had black dog hair everywhere. With a baby crawling everywhere, luckily there was a vacuum inside to get it actually clean.

Home Away From Home
Loved the way the place was decorated. Nice location. Very nice pool in the community. Never could figure out how to get the remote to operate the TV in the master bedroom but that was only a minor inconvenience. Overall a great vacation stay.

Great Family Beach House!
This house was very spacious, it fit all 8 of us comfortably. It was conveniently located steps away from the beach. The view from the deck was perfect for us! This house has everything you would need for cooking and cleaning. I would definitely recommend staying here, it was a great experience.
