High end home - which is great!! AC works GREAT!!! But bring extra bath towels (NOT enough on hand); bring broom and dust pan (cordless vac in laundry room did not work); ask a head of time to ensure both washer AND dryer work (dryer did not work in this home.)

This is a beautiful property with private access to a great stretch of beach. So close to all of the action that Galveston offers too. There are plenty of towels, beach toys, beach chairs and umbrella, to use which we greatly appreciated! Just make certain that you get the code to the back gate along with the rest of the property codes and make sure the owners stop their home security system. We were woken up at many odd hours of the nights (inconsistent times) over the week and needed to press the button to stop the alarm. We called about this and were told that the owners "overrode the system" but it still persisted thru our stay. Not the worst thing but it was annoying to not get an entire nights sleep without the beeping of the alarm going off. The Primary Bedroom does not have use of a closet so you will need to use one of the other BR's closets to hang up clothes that require hangers. Not the end of the world, just an FYI. Finally, bring Mosquito Repellent with you and use it liberally. We got eaten alive getting on and off beach on Day 1! Don't hesitate in staying here! It really is a great property.
