Our trip was nothing short of perfect and this house has everything! In all of the years I have stayed in VRBO's, Coconut Villa, hands down, was the most fully stocked home I have had the pleasure of staying in. Although not on the beach, the location was perfect and off the main street to Pirate's beach which was nice. You could still enjoy the ocean breeze and hear the crashing of the waves at night. The home is very inviting and comfortable and Mary Ann's extra's were a welcomed treat and the beds were most comfortable too! Being a newbie to the Galveston beach scene in summer, I didn't rent a golf cart early enough and the few places I called were sold out. As an added bonus, Mary Ann went above and beyond to facilitate a golf cart rental for us which turned out be be a better deal than the more advertised places!! Although you can walk to the beach, the golf cart rental is recommended - makes it easy to dash back home for anything you may have forgotten and easier to carry chairs and beach toys. This home is pet friendly too which was of utmost importance to me. Great yard and hose down stairs to rinse off your pets after the beach before coming up to the fabulous deck (there's even a shower for us with HOT water!!) You'd be remiss to pass on this property and the great service provided by Mary Ann! Thank you again for everything Mary Ann! Look forward to returning.
