Great experience!

This place is amazing! Very good neighborhood for a family. Awesome bayside views. Communication with owner was great, they were very responsive and helpful. Beach access is right across the road from the neighborhood. You can grill out and enjoy dinner overlooking the bay right from the house. The neighborhood pool was pristine. You can go spend time in town doing all the fun Galveston things and then come back to this little retreat and feel like a local!

Disappointed

House location was perfect! needs a deep cleaning, very dusty with air filters were filty. Upstairs is hard to breathe needing deep cleaning of area including carpet. Need update furnishing as the futons, chairs all look dirty and old. Only bathroom on first floor away from main bedroom. All items you needed for your stay were furnished. We did a good cleaning once we arrived for covid 19. Overall you will love the location as it sits facing the bay and just 3 mins drive on to the beach. Very quiet community.
