Our stay at John and Valerie's beach house was wonderful! We had 11 adults and one 3 year old, and we stayed for 3 nights, as a family get away. Most of our group was from the Houston area, but we had some fly in from Colorado, Maryland, and Arizona. The house looks even better in person than in the pictures. Everything was exactly as described, and the house was very well stocked with everything we needed (shampoo, conditioner, body wash, paper towels, dishwasher pods, kitchen ware, pantry items, etc). We used the beach chairs and wagons, the grill, the patios, and cooked about 7 meals in the very nice kitchen! The AC worked very well. And our 3 year old was enamored by the toy box full of beach toys. All of the rooms were very spacious and comfortable. Unfortunately, because we only had one child in our group, adults had to sleep in the bunk room, and we ended up purchasing a plug in rotating floor fan to give the bunk room more airflow with the door closed. But it would be a perfect room for 2, or 3, or 4 kids to share. The bathrooms were all very nice, and we loved the walk in showers. We didn't use the baby items, but there was a high chair, baby bath tub, bibs, baby bowls/utensils, bouncer, toys, etc. The walk from the house to the beach was less than 10 minutes and was really not bad, except for the mosquitos at dawn/dusk. But that's the norm in Galveston, just bring bug spray and apply it on the driveway before walking to the beach. We hope to stay here again soon!!
