The house itself was cute and spacious inside. We were upset when we first arrived, after a 6 hour drive, that the ac had not been turned on and it was like a sauna set at 94. So as we all travelled half the day in the heat of Texas with a toddler and 2 teens everyone was miserable. It was difficult to get communication with someone about the issue. After a few hours of dealing with that and getting the kids to Walmart so they could have ac whole the issue was resolved after FINALLY getting somewhere with communication. After that the only issue was ants, some big water bug roaches We assume were from the weather and no toilet paper at all in the house even street it states that there will be basic supplies for first 24hrs such as toilet paper, bath towels, trash bags etc. it is a good size house. Each room is good size for kids and teens or a couple. It is really close to the beach and some shopping, novelty and food places so you can walk a few blocks or a quick drive. We didn’t end up using the backyard but it was big and nice and great for families. Even had a cute little concrete area with a grill and picnic table.

Galveston long beach weekend

Nice house just a few blocks from the beach. A few steps up into the house, but convenient for my father-in-law who has trouble with steps.

Great home!!

Great home! Great location and parking. Adorable home with plenty of space for a family or even 2 families. We were a bit disappointed to find out that there was a fee to use the pool. When we read “community pool”, we did not realize there would be a fee to use it. There were also some ants in the home, but the owner answered very quickly said they would be there to deal with it. Small store across the street for basic needs. Walmart is about 15 minutes away off the main strip. Lots of food options very close. Super convenient. Overall a great home!!
