We were 4 couples staying for a long weekend. The house is very clean and well-appointed with comfortable beds and bedding, furniture, and nice kitchen appliances. The outdoor spaces had plenty of room and furnishings for us to gather and relax. The house's position on the canal was outstanding with beautiful views, and fishing off the dock was so fun! There are two stand-up paddle boards and two kayaks. Part of what also makes this house terrific is the beautiful neighborhood, which was great to explore with the marina, restaurant/bar, convenience store, and location near the beach. We rented golf carts - not strictly necessary at all - but it really contributed to the whole experience. Everything you need is right there but if you want to get out you're a 30 minute drive to the main attractions of Galveston; or there is a small grocery store and delicious food truck about 10 minutes away.The host was amazing and responded very quickly to our questions, both before and during our stay, with helpful and friendly answers. Truly above and beyond!
