First family getaway

Getting away for the first time as a family of three was nerve wrecking. Our now 18 month old was born 4 months early and this was our first getaway. This home was the perfect place to stay. The home was very clean and kid friendly. We enjoyed watching the sunrise from the kitchen window each morning. We cannot wait to visit again.

Wonderful stay!

The property had a ton of outdoor and indoor activities for kids to do. The hosts was very accommodating to the plethora of things you could do outside. They also responded promptly when calling/messaging. The inside was very well kept and spacious. The beds and sofas were comfy and there was a ton of cutlery dishware provided, even some for the kids. There was a nice view of the water outside. Overall it was a great stay. We would book again.

Kiddo's Paradise

Its a property and area that i would definitely recommend if you have children 8 and under. The yard area is sectioned off between a large firepit and patio chairs and then one specifically for children with a large playground. Upstairs, theres a lovely kitchen with compact amenities but they ecerything you need. Sectioned off wall between kids playroom and a bedroom. And another bedroom right next to the entrance. All in all it was a wonderful stay. The owners were very easy to chat with and their kids didnt mind sharing their stuff with ours. Made evident buly the literal wall of toys. It was nice

Alles war wie beschrieben. Ordentlich, sauber und ruhig gelegen. Nur die Küche ist etwas in die Jahre gekommen und könnte optisch ein wenig aufgepeppt werden. (z.B. passten vorhandene Backbleche leider nicht in den Ofen)Sehr guter Kontakt zu den Vermietern. Anliegen wurden zeitnah behoben oder erledigt.Bis Galveston war es nicht weit. Wir brauchten im Schnitt ca. 20 Minuten mit dem Auto bis zur Stadt.Vielen Dank für unsere schöne Woche in Bacliff!
