I have stayed in many different VRBO but this by far was one of the better ones that I have been to with my family. We stayed here for the weekend while waiitng for a cruise out of Galveston. The house is exactly as advertised. It might cost more but has all the upgrades and ammenities we look for in a property.Very clean, comfortable beds, right next to the beach. My only negative comments have nothing to do with the property but being Memorial weekend the wait times for the ferries getting on and off the island were long 45- 1hour. I suggest checking the times on their website. Also I did not enjoy the fact that motor vehicles are allowed on the beach and with so many people out riding around, it flet unsafe for kids to be out at certain times. I realize this is out of the hands of the property owner but thise were just two negative call outs I had from this property. Other than that I would highly recommend this property and would stay here again. Thanks

Girls Birthday Weekend
The house was wonderful! There were 9 of us ladies there to celebrate a 40th birthday! There was plenty of room. We cooked nearly every meal in the house and even had a dinner catered which was super fun. The screened in sun room and deck were the best part. I would love to bring my family back here!

This house was even more beautiful in person than in the photos! The house was spotless and we enjoyed all of the beach views from all of the decks!
