We went on a family vacation to Galveston. There were 20 of us. The house had some pros and some cons. Pros: Sitting on the porch in the back at sunrise/sunset was beautiful. The house had all the essentials needed. There was enough towels for everyone and the kitchen was well equipped with pots/pans/utensils, etc. This came in handy since we cooked all of our meals at the house. We never felt cramped due to the house layout. The 2 bathrooms were a challenge at times, but we made it work. The location was close to everything we needed but far enough away from the congestion of the beach. Cons: The pool and bunkroom had a crab infestation. The pool had hundreds of tiny crabs in it. The kids used it a bit but none of us adults even attempted to get in the pool. Also, our boys in the bunk room had crabs, frogs, and spiders all in their clothes and belongings. Yikes!!!! Also, the outside trash bins were completely full when we arrived. During our stay, we had to put the trash outside next to the bins. The birds and coyotes were all in the trash. I constantly had to pick up trash in the yard.
