Great family weekend!
The stay here was very good. Our family really enjoyed this property, especially being able to fish off the back. Sitting on the upper or lower patio areas at night was very relaxing and there is usually a nice breeze blowing in through the cove. The local marina and resturant is awesome and convenient. The food there is great, everyone is friendly. You can get just about anything you need while staying here without having to make the trip into Galveston. Our only complaint about our stay was that the shower heads in both bathrooms spray very hard and dont seem to have an adjustment on them to soften the pressure or to change the spray pattern.That would be my only complaint, and that is minor. I highly recommend this property.
