Not Worth Your Money

Rating Details: The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our experience was quite poor. No communication from the Host whatsoever even after multiple attempts on our part to reach out. Condo is old. Furniture is dated and poor quality, beds are extremely uncomfortable, black mold from vents, and a coffee maker so tiny it basically serves one person even though this is supposed to be a multi person condo. Not worth the money we paid. I'll re-visit this review if host or owner would like to make good on these issues and experience.

Great building

A nice apartment in a great building. The only negatives is that the kitchen was not well stocked; not even salt or sugar and the coffee maker was too small. Only one trash bag with not even one extra.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a wonderful stay in Galveston! The condo was comfortable and clean and had everything we needed! The front desk employees were also extremely helpful with my special requests. We spent the majority of our time on the balcony, beach or in the pool/hot tub! We did venture out one night for sushi at Yamato Japanese Restaurant on 61st- highly recommend their seasonal sushi menu!!
