Beautiful home- walk to the beach every morning!
We had a wonderful time! The three kitchen layout was a nice bonus! Most appliances we upscale and modern. The beds were very comfortable! Slept well every night! The short walk to the beach was so nice. Spent a lot of time there! Let me say that the Hostess was WONDERFUL! very responsive and helpful. Overall had a wonderful time!

Plenty of Room/Great location
We had 8 adults and 2 children and never felt crowded. We went for my granddaughter's dance competition the week of July 4th. Couldn’t have picked a better location. We walked to the beach. Watched fireworks from the balcony, easy drive to Convention Center, grocery store and Moody Gardens. Only drawback was no real living room for taking it easy after a busy day, but that wasn't our priority. Our priority was number of beds and baths and location. We made do by pulling out seats from table.

Meh.
We stayed and the location is very much not great. Close enough to the beach but not good surroundings, didn’t feel completely safe. Inside the house “meh”. The pictures make it look much better than it actually is. Cables throughout the house at windows cut and not plugged or covered. Bathroom on the second floor had keys but one was uncovered so it wasn’t functional. The wall where the rain shower head came out wasn’t really done, so you can just see the hole where the plumbing comes out. Electricity on the second floor island didn’t work so we couldn’t use those plugs or dishwashers, the property manager warned me about that once we had arrived. The internet also didn’t work, I did let the property manager know but to get it fixed we would have had to be there to attend the technician, and I wasn’t going to sit and wait for that and manage that. So, no shows for the toddlers made thing a bit harder. The roof top patio was cool, however, ALL of the cushions for this were inside the house and a story down, so to use it I would have had to make multiple trips up and down to put the cushions on. The third story balcony had no furniture on it, it was all inside as well so we had to move all that outside. Overall it was fine, but just fine. Way more expensive than it should have been…
