We recently had the pleasure of staying at this wonderful beach house in Galveston. Very clean, right on the beach (exactly as advertised) with AMAZING views! Super close to restaurants, the Strand, shops, etc, but still far enough away to have some peace and quiet from tourists and crowds. The square footage was just about perfect for us. Plenty of room for our family of four (two adults, two munchkins), and our extended family (two grandparents, an uncle, aunt and another munchkin), all staying under the same roof. The open kitchen, dining, and living area was also great for meals we prepared and enjoyed there. We loved the hot tub as well. Nice and clean--and hot! Perhaps the only negative we experienced--no access to the elevator on site. The house has multiple stories and a lot of stairs and lugging all our luggage, groceries, and supplies up into the house, then back down on departure day wasn't much fun. If you have elderly parents or very young kids staying there with you, may want to keep that in mind. Other than that, this place is a SOLID 5 stars. We'd definitely come back again. And we hope to!
