This home was booked as a getaway for my 40th birthday. I am so soothed by the sound of the ocean, so when I saw this home was available, I couldn't wait. Suffice to say, this home didnt disappoint. We LOVED our time here. The water crashed right at the base of the deck off the front of the home. The view was majestic. We watched storms roll in over the water, we watched dolphins swim out in front of the house on a calm water day, and watched our neighbors pull fish after fish out of the water from their deck (we didnt bring fishing gear this time, but will next time). The pocket beach 1 house over was PERFECT for our needs. We were able to get some sun, and also get out in the water.
In regards to the house, the amenities were exactly as described. The air condition blew cold the whole time, the kitchen was well outfitted, and I was THRILLED that the beds were comfortable. The location was SO nice, we could easily get to Galveston for all its restaurants and entertainment, but we were far enough away to enjoy peace and quiet of the ocean. All in all, this was an amazing trip, and we will be back.
Also, it's worth noting, the bridge from surfside to San Luis is a toll bridge that is $2 in cash each direction.
