Amazing Stay
The picture did not give the house and the visit justice. My family had a great stay at this site. Everything was perfect for us.

Great place
This was our second time staying here. The house is a great place for a family getaway. It’s on the beach, which is fantastic. The house is nicer than the pictures. The view is gorgeous. The deck is huge and a great place to relax. The downside is that if you’re wanting to do things in Galveston you have about an hour commute (depending on line to get on the ferry). They don’t provide linens, so bring your own. You can get a linen package, but quite frankly the sheets with that package are awful. I’d recommend if you’re wanting a true beach front house and aren’t planning on doing much other than the beach.

Love the house
Look forward to renting next year. I believe forms that need to be signed can be done by email vs having to be signed in person at deadline times. With technology, anything can be done by email.

GREAT property and location.
Pictures do NOT do this property justice. It is beautiful and was very accommodating for our extended family. I would note to others that vehicles drive on all beaches in this area. Not a bad thing just took some adjusting. Overall 5.6 out of 5

Overall Great Stay
Overall, the property was great - it was clean, the floor plan was efficient and provided plenty of room for our multi-generational family of 6. It was actually nicer than the pictures. The beach access with super convenient. The location is descent. This isn't the most pristine beach I have ever seen, but it is still nice. Your views are of the shipping channel - which, in many ways has its own charm and is interesting to watch the ships come and go. We enjoyed the fact that the beach wasn't crowded - we really felt like we had it mostly to ourselves, which was precisely what we were looking for. The back deck is fantastic - the pictures don't do it justice. We thoroughly enjoyed sitting on the deck and just watching the ocean and relaxing. Our biggest "complaint" would be the linens situation - which we knew when we booked. By having to bring our own linens, we felt like we were camping - we literally brought our trailer just to haul blankets, pillows, sheets and towels - which seemed ridiculous. The only blankets are the thin quilts you see in the pictures. Yes, we could have paid the $150 to rent linens, but that really felt insulting to have to rent linens - especially since we had no confidence in what linens that would include or the quality or quantity. As owners of multiple vacation rentals, I would strongly suggest providing linens to your guests - it would enhance the guest experience tremendously. This property is lovely in all other ways. I think the linens just leave guests feeling frustrated and annoyed. That said, it really is a lovely house and I would recommend - even if you have to haul your linens.
