Our stay at The Skipper was nothing less than awesome! The location is away from the congestion of Galveston but close enough for easy access. The home itself was perfect for my wife and I but could easily handle two more adults. It is well equipped and is furnished with very up to date furniture and appliances. And it is kept SPOTLESS! My wife and I have stayed in a few rentals in the past couple of years and while they were all clean, The Skipper was truly spotless. We were most impressed.
The view off the front deck/porch is great. The beach and ocean front is clearly visible and very easily accessible. And it is quiet. We spent quite a bit of time on the front deck just relaxing - watched the full moon rise and heard nothing but a few gulls and the music of the ocean. Fantastic!
A couple of other notes. The hosts, Paul and Maria, include a multi-page document which outlines all of the information you need when staying...wifi information, local restaurant and shopping info, different paths to the beach, local beach regulations, and so on. It was extremely helpful. Also, they were very quick to respond to the two questions we had...responded within the hour on a Sunday!
Paul and Maria, thanks for a great stay and count on us making a return trip!
