The house beautifully accommodated my hubby and I, two grown kids and spouses and two grands 2 and 4 yrs old. We drove to the beach but could have easily walked. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything needed for cooking and cleaning. We enjoyed eating most of our meals on the ample front porch as the sea breeze kept it comfortable. There’s a huge open space beneath the house for the kids to play and to clean off sandy feet and swimsuits.

The house was very clean, beds were comfortable, towels were soft, and the AC worked great! They had everything you would need for cookware and utensils. Beautiful location and very short walk to the beach. Loved that you were able to see and hear the ocean from the porch. The neighborhood was very quiet which was also nice since we had little ones. We will most definitely be back! ##### Megan S.

Our family of 4 loved this property. A very short walk to the beach with a lovely view. My 7 year old loved the waves. My husband and kids also enjoyed the pirate room with the video game machine. I think my husband played Mortal Kombat more than our kids. We took the ferry to Galveston one day to visit the aquarium which I highly recommend. Also if you plan on going during the week please be note that a lot of restaurants are not open Monday through Wednesday. We did a lot of cooking but it was easy to do since the kitchen is so well equipped. Definitely would recommend staying in this house. Book now! ##### Jennifer O.

Close enough to see the ocean and hear it but far enough the babies could play without worry of them being on shore. Loved the beds as they were super comfy (we slept 8 adults, 4 children, and 2 babies). The children’s room was a huge hit with pirate ship bunk beds and arcade game. Kitchen was fully stocked and easy to navigate. The downstairs patio had two showers and plenty of hot water for our big party. All in all my favorite destination so far and close enough to the DFW area to visit again. We took advantage of the local golf cart rental and got a 6 seater for the week for the beachcombers. This neighborhood was beautiful and in just the right spot. Would definitely recommend this to our friends and hopefully get to rebook! ##### Jack H.
