Great beach house getaway!

This was a great house with a fantastic location. There were a lot of activities available in the house for the kids. Kitchen was great and stocked sufficiently for a vacation rental. Beach was great. The house was also super close to a convenient mini grocery store, so no need to drive back to Galveston.

Great beach retreat

We wanted to slow down after the busy holidays and this property was perfect. It was clean, comfortable beds, and full kitchen. The beach was visible and only 50 yards away, and with no cars on the beach it was a very peaceful place to walk along. We appreciated the host allowing use of their beach chairs and other items. It was a great stay and highly recommend!
