We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The view was beautiful and with 4 kids, we loved being just steps away from the beach. Everything was exactly as described in the listing and the directions to find the property, as well as check in, were simple and easy to understand. The host was incredibly responsive as well. We hope to return for another trip in the near future!

The rental was clean, inviting, well furnished, and spacious! We loved the layout and the great sounds and smell of the gulf waters. Our stay was very enjoyable, the walks along the beach was invigorating and lightly used which made for a very pleasant view from the upper deck of the home. I would recommend this rental to anyone who enjoys the beauty of nature and the superb first sight of the sun in the mornings. It is close to the main area of Galveston Island and therefore there is ample opportunity to enjoy all that Galveston Island has to offer. We had a wonderful stay! AND hope to visit this rental in the future.
