The house was clean and spacious and great for a larger group. However, there was not ONE, not ONE, hook or towel bar, or closet. This needs to be clear in the advertising as it is impossible if you are attending any event in Galveston and need to hang clothes or staying more than one night and would like to hang your towel to dry.

The host company was extremely responsive especially when I needed them by phone; They were accessible and empathetic and very kind. Additionally the houses' amenities were as described and great to have on our weekend stay. We didn't go to the beach as we were there for some girl time, but loved to have had access to a beautiful pool. Each bedroom was gorgeous and comfortable. The house is truly an oasis right outside the city.

Great location and facility had everything we needed for two nights. We brought a boiling pot/ burner and table to do a seafood boil on the back deck. Very convenient. Since the home is so large and constantly has large groups it is starting to show that kind of wear so don't expect perfect but it is very nice and worth the money because of capacity. We had 13 and a couple house dogs. Enough bedrooms so everyone could sleep comfortably.
