I was looking for somewhere warm and quiet to recharge. This certainly filled my needs. The deck gets the sun in the morning. I liked sitting there with my coffee, listening to the blue jays which fill the trees, and watching the neighbourhood cats on patrol. Another great feature is the walk-in monsoon shower. Holiday rentals usually have a tiny plastic booth where I am always bumping something, or a climb in and out of a bath tub.
The house is compact but seems big inside. There is a comfortable lounge area, with a good TV. The kitchen/diner has a full dining table, and all the equipment you need to cook with. The internet is fast and reliable. The washer dryer is super efficient. Beds are comfortable.
The property is on a quiet residential side street that hardly sees any traffic. The beach is a short walk away and stretches for miles in both directions. Some restaurants in walking distance, others a short drive away with good parking. Two good supermarkets are next to each other a 5 minute drive away. Lots of museums and galleries, possible side trips to State park, Texas City or NASA.
Nina responded promptly to a small hitch at check in, and the matter was quickly resolved.
A great vacation, I left feeling very relaxed and reenergised. Thanks, Nina.
(And thanks to Galveston City for providing free parking and free public lavatories at the beach!)
