The house was clean and just a short walk to the beach. The downstairs shower area was great after playing on the beach, and we were sure appreciative of all the beach items (boogie boards, wagon, chairs, umbrella, etc). We were somewhat disappointed that the grill mentioned was a small George Foreman and we couldn’t even use it outside on the upper deck because none of the outlets would work for us. We also had some issues with the dish washer, but not a big deal. Otherwise the house came stocked with pretty much all basic necessities to cook/shower/clean with. Check-in was easy enough with clear directions. We loved the location and the cleanliness of the beach as well. The drive to all of the main Galveston attractions was reasonable.
