Stilt House Living

After climbing 16 stairs to get into the accommodation, everything was fine. Since it is a peninsula we could see the gulf on the left and now and then see a tugboat pushing a large barge on the right. The children’s playground and pool were utilized by the community. The area is quiet and an excellent place to rest and regroup. The beaches are full of shells, quite a few in tack. Taking the free ferry to Galveston just added another level of exploring. Bravo

It was ok

Nothing at all against the owners. The house itself was fine. The location however wasn't ideal. There are teens and 20 year olds who played very loud music each night we were there so loud that I felt like I wasat a concert. Had to call the police the last night and learned those kids dont rent or live there. They just use the pool. Again nothing the owners could control. Also the mosquitoes were insane. I've rented at beach houses before and this was just unbearable. The house was fine. But unfortunately other circumstances made it not very welcoming. Thank you for being great hosts though.

Weekend Getaway

We loved everything about the house and the area that we were in. We had some fun neighbors that helped us enjoy the experience. The pictures were a little misleading though because I was under the impression that the pool was private, as well as the deck. Unless I overlooked something, it didn’t specify in the listing that this was a community pool so unfortunately, since it was so crowded the whole time we never got to swim. We definitely made the best of the experience though so everything asside from that was great. I definitelyy loved the complementary pods! My friends were soo pleased and greatful for my pick.

Lovely stay

The house was very clean and had everything we needed for our stay. We were there a few weeks after a hurricane so the pool wasn’t in great shape and locked up, which was a little disappointing for my nine year old but understandable. The host was very responsive when I reached out about the grill not working. Overall, great stay.

Stay at Sand in my Boots

The house was clean and welcoming. Communication was great with host. The storm did cause some damage to community pool so it was not available. The grill needed some repair as it was damaged by water and the corn hole boards were broken. The amenities were nicely stocked and the home was cozy. The location was a nice distance from beach and we enjoyed or stay overall. I would definitely inquire about pool if that is of interest to you. Its part of the community so host has little control over its availability. In this case the storm damaged the pump etc.
