Let me just start by saying WOW! If you are looking at any other options, just stop now! We take a yearly trip to the Galveston area (Galveston, Crystal Beach, Surfside/Freeport are where we've booked so far) this trip and home/location has hands down been the best of them all, and we won't be booking anywhere else in the area from now on! The home is beautiful, comfortable, clean, spacious, and well stocked for your basic needs. Elizabeth is so sweet, and a wonderful host! The pool and hottub are amazing, lots and lots of sand toys, chairs, and boogie boards for a fun day at the beach without having to lug your own. It doesn't show in the images but there is a living room with tv up stairs as well as the down stairs area, our kids loved having their own hang out spot, and enjoyed all the games provided as well. The beach is clean, quiet, and doesn't have vehicles driving or parking all over it. Picture perfect sunrises, and great hermit crab hunting (WE FOUND OVER 30) Close enough to be out of the hustle and bustle, but have a short drive in to Galveston or Surfside for good food and activities! I could go on and on truly, you will not be disappointed if you book! Counting down the days until we can come again!
