This condo was perfect for our little getaway to Galveston with my daughter and her friend. The girls loved the pool and I loved that the property was conveniently located. Everything we wanted to do was no more than a short 10 minute drive.Check in was a breeze, as Larry provided detailed instructions prior to our arrival. The condo was clean and we loved the beach/ocean view.

We had a wonderful time and loved all of the water options! There is a cold pool, a heated pool, and two hot tubs. Plus, the gulf is right across the street! The only negatives were that there are a lot of stairs in the unit and the bathroom is on the upper floor. My kids annoyed the neighbors below us with their running up and down the stairs.
