We spent a week at this lovely beach house and truly enjoyed every moment of our stay. The property was clean, well-maintained, and exactly as described. The neighborhood was peaceful and quiet—perfect for a relaxing getaway. I especially appreciated being away from the hustle and bustle of Galveston, yet still close enough for a short drive to the Strand, restaurants, and other attractions.One of the highlights was the easy walk to the beach. We loved starting our mornings drinking coffee on the porch with the lovely breeze and winding down our evenings by the water, it was serene and beautiful. Wifi could support all of our devices without lagging and never had any interruptions.The house had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The only small suggestion I’d make is to consider sending a list of things to bring or adding a few board games or outdoor games for guests to enjoy during downtime. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and we’d definitely stay here again! ##### rachel s.
