My family and I have been vacationing in Galveston for 5 years and love the west end. We were so glad we were able to find a house right on the beach this year, but it came with some set backs. We stayed 4 nights and 5 days. Overall a decent stay, we were right on the beach, but the listing was deceiving. The primary bedroom does not have a king size bed, it was at best a double. The outdoor shower drain was clogged, so we didn't use it and instead used a garden hose to rinse off. Unable to use the lift, so bring your muscles with you and there is an outdoor ring security light (flood light), that went off every couple of minutes our 1st night, so sleep was difficult. Bring a sleep mask for your eyes or put a pair of shorts over them (like we did) and it helps. Sofa seating was limited for our family of 5, the floor was an option, but there was a big elevated spot in the middle, so be mindful. Bring detergent for the washer, because there isn't any and the towels had a slight mildew smell. I know im pointing out all the little things, I just want the next renters to come prepared. Its a smaller home, but we spent most of our time on the beach, so that wasn't an issue. There was also plenty of cookware, cups, plates, accessories, etc., but only the small burners on the stove worked, so bring a grill (like we did). Otherwise, being so close to the beach was the biggest selling point, you don't have to lug all the supplies back and forth a long distance.
