Nice place
We enjoyed our stay. Just a couple of things to improve. The couch was not very comfortable. I would suggest a newer more comfy one to enjoy TV watching. Also, the thermostat was very confusing and difficult to operate. Otherwise it was great. Bedrooms were roomy and the bed was super comfortable. Backyard space was quiet and quite large. Decor was homey and inviting. Location made it easy to enjoy Galveston Home Tour.

Kuk sool won trip
Overall the property was great. My only issue i had, was while i was away to our Kuk Sool Won Tournament, someone had came into the property and mowed the grass on a Saturday. I feel this should have been done before our arrival. And i dont like anyone just coming and going while im onsite or away.

Our Family Beach Trip
Very nice overall. The accommodations were nice and comfortable. We did see a number of roaches in the house. But the house appeared very clean and tidy. I felt it was very thoughtfully put together for a rental. We would have appreciated a few more bath towels and wash cloths for staying four nights and three full days. But we truly enjoyed the stay and would certainly consider it again. Thank you!

Great spot, super close to Moody Gardens
This was a very nice property. Very nice, updated interior and a nice big backyard. For proximity to Moody Gardens (especially if you're competing in Ironman), it's tough to beat. We had to call the owner to figure out the thermostat, which is connected to a Google device, but otherwise great. I think a grill was advertised, but there wasn't one in the backyard. I'd stay here again and would recommend it to others.
