The Casey Shoals Home was perfect for our family. Our son and grandchildren (ages 4-1/2 and 6-1/2) loved the bunk beds. We spent mornings walking the beach and they loved the water. The beach is kept very clean. Parking next to the beach access was first come first serve. It was an easy walk and we used our wagon to transport. One day we parked and had no problem. We took the grandchildren to the state park crab fishing and they loved that. The beach home is so accommodating. All your basic kitchens needs are provided. It was great to have such a nice laundry room! There is a great fenced in area for the kids to play. Be sure, as recommended, to keep the mosquito repellant handy. There is wagon and beach chairs you can use. The shower under the deck is awesome and we used the hose to wash off all our equipment before heading home. The beach house has a great closet full of toys, puzzles, movies, coloring books, board games. We loved the cable selection and found a great channel for the age appropriate movies. Loved the option of the Master Bedroom with set of bunkbeds. The second bedroom had queen size bed and four bunkbeds. The whole home is decorated beautifully. We cooked out a few times and the grill was great. My husband and son fished off the San Luis Pass. We bought a few fireworks and took them to the sandy beach area by San Luis Pass bridge for the Fourth. There was plenty of firework shows close by to get our feel for the Fireworks. We took in the Galveston highlights and visited Moody Gardens a couple of days. Highly recommend that. The aquarium and rainforest pyramids are awesome. We toured the historic Strand downtown. The Railroad Museum is quite interesting and the grandkids loved being able to climb on the trains. Be sure to visit Lil Kings Old Fashioned Ice Cream Parlor downtown. We visited the Elissa Ship and Seaport Museum; ate at Fisherman's Wharf (*****), Fish Tales off Seaboard (also very good). We rode the Ferry to Bolivar. The grandkids were excited to see so many dolphins and they fed the seagulls (be sure to bring some bread). We had dinner one night on the upper deck of the cottage.. nice breeze. I hope to make this an annual vacation spot.
