here's a bit of info:
for those renting houses - get one as far off the beach as possible. It's much cheaper that way. Tell the rental ppl you want a house as close to the "Bluewater Addition" or "O'Neal Rd" as possible.
I will talk to a couple of the neighbors and see if I can negotiate some cheaper rent for the weekend. One should let me use that house for free. (my grandfather's old house). For those that stayed in the Taj Mahal last spring - it may be available again...you will be PLEASANTLY surprised.
for those flying:
there is a limo service that will pick you up at Hobby Airport, drive you to Galveston and drop you off at the Ferry landing. They will pick you up after the weekend is over and take you back to Hobby as well. All this for about $30. I'll get the phone number and post it.
By Request, I tried to find a house with a hot tub...no dice. I was only able to locate 2 rental houses with a hot tub and both were booked. Keep trying - you might get lucky.
as always, visit
www.crystalbeach.com to find local motels and link to all the rental companies.
