We were able to park a couple of cars in the back of the house, and were able to park our other car in the front. There was also space for additional vehicles if we had had them. The host was on top of things, and made sure to communicate regularly, including after we checked in to make sure everything was okay. I appreciate that. We were able to grill our steaks on the grill that was provided, and the kitchen was very well supplied. We enjoyed our annual stay in Galveston for the Walk to End Alzheimer's.
