Best short getaway

This property was beyond what pictures and description say. We loved our stay at this location. The kitchen had everything we needed and the property was well thought out what you may need when staying here. Whenever we return to Galveston, this will be where we stay. Great communication, cleanliness, location, and great for families. A very memorable experience and will definitely return.

Great place

My family of 4 (parents and 2 boys; 7 and 8) really enjoyed our stay here. The house is clean and inviting. We were so grateful for the beach supplies (chairs, boogie boards, etc) so we didn't have to buy or pack those. The bed were comfy and the kitchen had everything we needed. Our only negative was the surrounding neighborhood isn't the greatest. However, it is centrally located on the island, so it was easy to get everywhere quickly.

You Won't Be Disappointed

This is a a great property. Easy to get to. close to everything. Everything needed for a great vacation. We only stayed two days as we were attending Mardi Gras but could see where longer would be easy. Updated and clean. I particularly liked the parking in the back. It is in the back yard and you have open the gates from the inside but it keeps your car off the street. Would stay here again in a heart beat, Thank you Kim and Shea for an enjoyable stay!
