Summary: Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved A Cool Change! The furnishings and decor were just as listed. We didn't have good beach weather while we were here, but this beach had the most shells I have ever seen. There was streaming TV, as well as games and puzzles so we kept ourselves entertained. What I really enjoyed was the laidback, not busy atmosphere on the Peninsula. Quite a contrast from the Galveston island atmosphere. We ate one night at the Fins restaurant at the Margaritaville RV resort - highly recommend! Overall, we enjoyed our relaxing stay, and are already planning next year's trip.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: A Cool Change was perfect for my family of 6 plus one grandson! The house was spacious and very clean. We went on a bay fishing trip and caught speckled trout and one red fish. Stingaree restaurant did not disappoint, the seafood was fresh and plentiful. We brought side by sides and were able to ride up and down the beach. I would recommend this property to all my friends and family.
