From the minute we walked in it felt so welcoming and we were all able to relax and truly enjoy our time. It was well stocked and had all essential items. Starting the day on the balcony with a coffee and watching the waves roll, to the pool area it was all just as it pictured! We throughly enjoyed our stay and will be back again for sure!

Marvelous Mini Vacay

My friends and I had an amazing stay! I travel often I've seen a lot of VRBOs, and this is definitely one of my favorites! The entire place is nice and spacious, and the decor is perfect for the space. The cherry on top is that Primary Bath!!! TO DIE FOR!!! The wrap around porch, the view and the pool are all a close second. The pics are very well done, and you truly get what you see...which is not always the case. I look forward to returning! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

All things considered!

Came into Galveston for a holiday weekend boys trip to fish and relax. Emerald is a great property and this condo was perfect for the 4 of us! A true master w/nice king bed and 2 bedrooms w/queens… exactly as described. Someone had to get the pullout sofa, and he said it was comfortable and got some good sleeps on it. Super clean condo with fantastic amenities; great kitchen with all the utensils and enough plates for a garden party, the bar area was a great gathering spot for planning, chatting, eating and drinking, the rooms were dialed in, and the master bathroom is to die for!!! Superb location, as it’s within minutes to the beach, bars, and restaurants…. And easy access to the The Strand area where we enjoyed more eating and drinking festivities. Will definitely book here again and might plan our dates around its availability!!! Thanks for the great spot!!!!!

Amazing Property

This condo was sensational. We loved how many windows were in the unit, especially in two of the three bedrooms! The views were amazing with Pleasure Pier and Galvez in the distance. We loved watching the 4th of July fireworks from the comforts of inside. Communication with Tim was very efficient and professional. Check in and all the amenities were easy and top notch. The only area of improvement would be that there was some sand and hair still in the tubs (we didn't go to the beach this trip) and that the fan blades could use a good dusting. But other than that, everything was very clean. I loved the decor of this condo- very relaxing and tastefully beach themed. The towels were great and all of the appliances worked great. The AC was easy and great. The only improvement would be to fix the knob of the Jack and Jill toilet- was a bit wobbly and hard to push. But on the whole- everything was top notch and excellent. We look forward to staying here again!

Galveston weekend getaway

Owners were terrific. Condo was perfect for four adults. Everything was clean and well stocked. The only thing that was just a little disappointing was the view. When we filtered our search on VRBO, we included an ocean view. We did have a distant ocean view but not as close as what we thought we were getting. There are great views from the pool area. And we were extremely impressed with the parking facility, on-site staff and security. We would certainly recommend this unit and these owners to anyone as long as you understand the ocean view/beach filter on VRBO is far reaching.
