    This beach house is perfect. It's clean and very well maintained. The kitchen is fabulous. It has everything you need to feed and entertain a large family. The furniture is super comfortable, plenty of seating and the beds are excellent. It is pet-friendly as well. I've been going to Galveston for 65 years. I've owned beach houses there. This one takes first place for large family gatherings. Everyone in our family had a fabulous time and loved the house. We made lots of new memories and we will be back.

    The home was nice but might need a new maid service.Found dirty plate, glass and pans. Also in the garage, found an old coke bottle on the floor and a can of tobacco on the shelf. Had trouble getting the keys out of the lock box, had to call the office to get in and upon leaving as the lock box didn't want to work. Great location and nice lay out of the home.

    This is a very nice, spacious home with great balconies. It's a short walk from a great tidy neighborhood beach. It's nestled in a really nice Beach community. My family stayed there from infants to adults. We would definitely return. It is an amazing house.
