Great host. The house was wonderful. We LOVED the commercial ice maker. You don’t realize how great it is unless you’ve bought bags upon bags of ice in the past. Short walk to the beach if you don’t want to rent a golf cart. Beach access for your vehicle. Plenty of parking.

Great property, great location

We had a wonderful Christmas at this property. Very close to beach in a safe and quiet neighborhood. Great location for our family. Took the free ferry over to Galveston Island for shopping and church. They provide basic beach items, toys, a couple chairs, a wagon, etc. only complaint is we ran out of dish soap and tp in a day so wish they had more stocked up.

Bed time

Grass and weeds we’re a foot high, dead pawn tree limbs obsructing entrance, no internet but waited and wasted an entire day for a repair company that was no show , no call, main tv in the living room had no sound due to blown speaker and the home had sand all over the floors when we arrived. Owner offered to give me a reduced price on my next visit. There won’t be a next visit.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. There was a slight issue with the alarm and the law haha, the evening we checked in, but I messaged the owner/property manager and within a few minutes they contacted me and we resolved the situation VERY quickly. Our stay was awesome and we really had a good time. With all that said, the only complaint that we have is the king size bed in the master bedroom has a very firm mattress that no one wanted to sleep on. I don’t mean to sound negative, but this was our only disappointment about a four night 2000 short vacation.
