Cant recommend enough and will definitely be back! ##### Steven P. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Justen S. 16 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Good stay and time away Nice newer place in a quiet part of Texas, quieter than Galveston. We spent a decent amount of time in Galveston and Houston and the ferry wait times could be over 2 hours at times. House was clean and nice and had anything that we needed (couldn't find more trash bags but made it work). Only issue we had was getting on the wifi but host had us connected quickly. Walk to beach is kind of a hike but not something you can't do. Beach was clean and nice and not super busy (like Galveston). ##### Justen S. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2023 ---
