The ocean was visible from the balcony. The room was everything we needed for our stay. The only negatives were the sofa, because it is so low, we could hardly get up from it, and the commode, same thing, it’s so low, it was difficult for us to sit and stand up from it.

Property was advertised as 1679 sq ft but was less than 600 sq ft,couch was cheap and uncomfortable,pots and pans, kitchen trash can and patio furniture are worn and need to be replaced. Paint color,flooring and decor are soothing and beachy. Pool and hot tubs were great and well maintained. Very spacious pool area and well manicured grounds.

Good location just concerned with cleanliness.

First impression was very small. Really can only fit maximum a couple and 2 small kids. But perfect for a couple. The condo needed updating and more space to put groceries. We moved things around to give us some space. The sheets were old sheets that have lost their elasticity therefore the fitted sheet came off during our sleep. That in turn let us see the mattress cover that was disgusting. We called for new sheets and a new mattress cover. We bought a new quilt as a blanket and put the old sheets, mattress cover, and bedspread in the closet because we had to make the bed ourselves. They did replace both the sheets and the mattress cover, but did not hear from the owner with an apology or anything. That made us squirmish about the place overall and how unclean the place may have been. It could be a very cute place with some updates and keep the bedding CLEAN!! We loved being so close to the beach and having that view.

Great condo

The condo was just as described and met all our needs. The condo is on the bottom floor, so the only negative is that the view of the water is partly obstructed by the property management building. If the patio furniture had the tall chairs that many of the condos have, it would help.

Great fall break getaway

Condo was clean and ended up being great for our family of 4. Kids loved the bunk beds. Kitchen was fairly well stocked though we mainly just cooked breakfast during our stay. Access to the beach was great! Would definitely stay here again. It was my husband's first trip to Galveston and he is ready to go back!

Needs improvements

We arrived and it was an easy check-in which we were thankful for. The condo was as described but the cleanliness could have been better. I pulled blankets from the closet and it was clear they were dirty. Also the floor was squishy with water coming up out of the seams of the flooring when you stepped. I called maintenance and left message with no return called. Called back & got someone who then sent someone who came and confirmed something was wrong. He left and never came back and we never got an update. We dealt with our stuff on the floor getting wet and when we walked our feet and shoes were wet which was very frustrating. I will say the bed was very comfortable. The refrigerator and air worked really good.

Charming crab

The charming crab was a very nice place, but it was not clean. The vent filter was very dirty. I called, texted and sent messages to property manager to change it but no one came to change the filter. The living room had cookies and punch spills on the floor and one of the tables . The bathroom was not clean. The beds did not look like they had been changed. Housekeeping did come and did a very good job of cleaning the place but overall I would say next time if I select this property again, please make sure it is clean before anyone else come into it. Property management stop communicating with me on the filter without changing it.
