We needed to relax and this was definitely the place to do it. Everything was comfortable and clean. We enjoyed being close to Galveston so the could go to the local resturants and take my grandson to Pleasure Pier. Only a block from the beach was very convenient also.
Booked this home for my son's 30th birthday hathering with close friends and family, we had a fantastic experience from the beginning. The home is beautiful, well stocked, more than plenty of amenities, supplies, games, puzzle, beach items, etc. Overall, a great experience and we will definitely book again!
