Just what we needed

The location was just what we needed and the accommodations were spot on. For a nice stay close to the beach with the room for a family of 4 it was just right. I was very happy this was our first Vrbo stay and I’m glad we found it.

Perfect Galveston Weekend

The VRBO is perfect for a small family looking to get away to the beach! Easy access to the beach and restaurants (including treats for the kids and coffee for the adults). Even close to a local mini golf course. Parking was a breeze and it was comforting to know we had a safe place to crash after those long fun days.

Nice Galveston Visit

This place was very cute, looks just like the pics, comfy beds and plenty of bath towels/toilet paper/ kitchen appliances etc. My favorite is that it is directly across from the seawall and beach so no long walk or having to drive to the beach. Also, the pools have showerheads so its easy to rinse off all the sand before having to go upstairs to the condo 👍

Perfect vacation spot!

We booked the property for our stay in Galveston and it was great! Located on Seawall Blvd we were right across the street from the beach, 2 outdoor pools to enjoy, near restaurants and Walmart. The property was clean and safe. Our family of 4, 2 kids ages 12 and 14, had a great time! Rachel was also great to work with as we had to change our vacation due to Hurricane Beryl, she was responsive and a pleasure to work with!
