We had a wonderful time, it was a perfect place for our family on Mothers Day weekend. We had all of our kids (grandkids/nieces/nephews etc) and it was the perfect space, we had only wished the floors were cleaned. But that’s okay! We loved it!

Overall the house is big, and quite clean, and it’s at good location to get together with family and friends. It’s close to the bay for fishing. But like many places in Galveston, the furnitures are pretty old and the beddings are not very comfortable.
