We had a great time here, there are tons of things to do close to the property. Great restaurants close...If you want to go to Pier 6 to eat make a reservation before you get to town (very good food). Kemah is close and we had a great day there, the beach is close...you can go to Galveston Strand in 20-25min for shopping. The house is great, small but set up perfectly with an awesome patio. Our daughter "loved" the upstairs loft. The AC works awesome, it was really hot when we went in Aug and the place was cool and comfortable. We plan to go back soon. I go down to go fishing with friends, the bay boat launches are right there. I would recommend you bring your groceries...there is a store very close but it doesn't have everything...and prices are a little higher. That store has really good breakfast burritos by the way!! Overall I would recommend this property to anyone. The San Leon area has a few shady places, but the house is close to the water and you are on the quiet side of the road on a dead end quiet street. I think there is a new restaurant at the end of the street within walking distance (we did not get a chance to try it)…I didn't even notice it until we left. Going again as soon as we can, hopefully it's available!!
