Awesome again!!

We had a great stay at Hannah's Fort Crockett as usual! This is our third time booking with her and I am so relieved to have found a place that we all can enjoy as a family without worry for cleanliness or any other issues. Hannah has the extras to make your stay the best! From beach toys and chairs, to washer and dryer, to plenty of TP! It really is the little things. And she is always available if we have any questions. Thank you for sharing your home with us Hannah!

BEST LOCATION!!!

The place is so clean! The location is great. We were able to go everywhere with ease. The parking is very spacious. We had 4-5 cars parked in the driveway and street parking on the house’s property. You can easily fit 8 cars surrounding the house if you utilize the backyard, too!! The beds are comfortable and fit my group of 8 people. The place has plenty of towels, hair dryer, bath wash/shampoo/conditioner, plenty of kitchenware, and it is super spacious. It was walking distance to the beach which was a plus!!! Communication with Hannah was 10/10 since she answers immediately to every message that was sent! I would stay again!!!

Amazing!

We have been renting in Galveston for 10+ years several times a year, at many different locations. Sandy shores is our new vacation home! Hands down, our favorite place over all the years. You name it, we’ve experienced it. So we were so pleased with Hannah’s place. The location really can’t get any better, it’s just right behind the er, so a small walk to the beach. The driveway was a huge selling point for us, since we don’t like leaving our vehicles on the street. The home inside and out is beautiful. She has ALL the beach necessities you’ll need. We didn’t have to bring chairs, or even beach toys which was awesome. The balcony is beautiful and we really enjoyed sitting out there at night. The beds are firm and we loved that! Lol. Kitchen had lots of coffee pods to choose from and it worked great for us to cook ourselves. We also loved we could use Netflix and YouTube easily without having to log in ourselves. Since I can never remember my info. And it’s definitely not stingy on toilet paper! We always travel with all the family and we hate running out within a day, so it was nice not to have to worry about all those small things Hannah has thought of! So thank you again so much for allowing us to stay! We will most certainly be back.
