We've stayed in a number of VRBO properties in the Texas coast area and this one is excellent! First of all, it was very clean and that's challenging with the beach sand that goes everywhere.The host had all of the sundries - paper towels, hand soap, nice bath towels, special Turkish beach towels, ... - so much of what we would typically bring 'just in case' but didn't actually need.The kitchen was well stocked and everything was fully functional. The view from the living room to the water was soooo nice! Big wrap around deck in front had a nice breeze making a morning sipping on coffee a great way to start the day.This was our first time staying on the peninsula and it was definitely less crowded than staying in/around Galveston proper. With kids, that was a huge plus (for any age).Another huge plus was the air conditioning. When we arrived, it was very comfortable but not humid inside which is not always what we find when staying at the coast. Often times the unit is struggling to catch up - not in this case - and it still not cool outside yet.There's a really nice golf cart path to get access to the beach from the street which is only about a half block from this property. All we had to do was load up a pull cart (typically used for soccer games) and the beach was a few minutes walk.Not sure when we'll be back but we will definitely check to see if this home is available again the next time we visit from Austin.
