I normally don't leave reviews unless I am really disappointed or really excited and this place truly impressed me. I don't even know where to start. The layout/floorplan is ideal if you have family or small group - two bedrooms and two bathrooms on the opposite sides of the house with large kitchen/dining/living area in the middle. Comfortable furniture and tasteful beachy décor. Huge porch with a perfect view of the ocean. Literally, steps to the beach and the beach is private! The kitchen was stocked with anything you may need - dishes, utensils, cookware, bakeware, even tupperware for leftovers. If you don't plan on cooking, not a problem - Galveston is less than 10 min away, and a few places to go to or order from right around the corner. A lot of games to play indoor and outdoor, beach gear and so much more. Even though the weather did not cooperate very well the house and location made up for it. Definitely booking this place for the next trip to the gulf. Fingers crossed it's available.
