We came here for our daughter’s 10th birthday this weekend as we LOVE Galveston. Even with the little bit of rain we had an enjoyable time. The condo was one of the best we’ve stayed in and now we know which one we want everytime we come back. The bed was nice and comfy, updated condo, loved the view, owners were super nice too! Will be back!

We enjoyed being able to walk to the beach, Walmart and for frozen yogurt at Orange leaf or Italian ice at Rita’s. There are heated pools on the property. The host was great about communicating with us. Check in was smooth. Just recommend screen shooting the info from the host to easily find all the info needed for check in. Everything was is great condition. There are sand toys and a wagon that guests get to borrow. We very much enjoyed the balcony for watching the waves, chatting and reading. We would happily recommend this property.

Short Getaway

This was a good location for two people, as it is very small. The photos are misleading about the size. Yes, there are bunks and a fold out sofa, but the space is probably less than 600 sq ft. There are plenty of towels and beach toys. The kitchen is great, and the coffee pods were a nice touch. The bathroom needs a facelift. The shower tile grout was very dirty, and there was mold and peeling paint on the ceiling around the A/C vent in the bathroom. The bed is comfortable, with lots of pillows. The Master bedroom closet has hooks on the wall and a short rack for hanging clothes. Again, very small. The only window in the condo (master bedroom) has broken locks and opens onto the hallway, where the gate to this unit doesn't close properly. The bistro table and chairs pictured in the listing were not there. Instead, there were four plastic chairs, and a plastic folding table for our morning coffee. It is a good location, near the beach and restaurants, and was very quiet. It fit our spending budget for a two-night stay.

Above expectations, highly recommend.

As described and then some. Better than the pics. Tastefully decorated. Walking gate access and traffic light with crosswalk for beach/ocean access. Owner provides pool accessories stored on balcony. Balcony with chairs and table offers pool and ocean view. For your beach time, there is a wagon, cooler bag, chairs, etc in bedroom closet for your use. Short drive for a more private beach experience without traffic noise. Easy access tiled shower and plenty of towels available. Garage parking pass and pool access wrist band issued at office upon check in after $35 fee paid. Easy Keypad entry. Friendly and helpful neighbors in this gated community. Grocery stores and restaurants close by. Beautiful pool area, well maintained grounds. There are 2 pools and a jacuzzi area. If you a require elevator, call ahead and make sure they are working. Hurricane damage repairs were underway during our August visit and sadly all 3 elevators giving access to this unit were temporarily unavailable for this 3rd floor unit. Owner responds immediately to any issues. We have already booked our next visit.

The condo was very nice and clean. The beach was right across the street. That was a plus for us, especially with a four year old. I do wish the elevators were working those stairs were pretty scary to the kids. Over all I would definitely recommend this place.

Short stay before cruise

Awesome location to see Galveston for a couple days before heading out on our cruise. Brought our electric bikes and it was so easy to get around. Even rode over to the Strand. Easy ride, bike paths most of the way. Condo was perfect and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. Parking was under the units, fenced and had security patrols. We felt very safe and secure with our e-bikes being left out (locked up in the bed of the truck). Beautiful view from the room and really enjoyed our evenings on the deck. Easy check in and out. Host was great at communicating. We will be back again!!

The unit was small but very nice and clean. Communication with Kathy was very good. Unfortunately on our arrival at the unit we were not able to access the unit. We told Kathy we would be arriving after the office closed. She said the security person would let us in. That person was nowhere to be found. Called the phone number for security with no response. Kathy was away on a cruise and her covering person did not answer her phone either. We had to check into a nearby hotel. Kathy did refund our night and was very apologetic. I think had she been around it would not have been a problem.
