The condo was everything we hoped for. The check in process was easy. The woman working in the office was great and provided us with all the necessary information to make our stay pleasurable. We spent our weekend at the pool, strolling the beach, and just sitting on the balcony. The perfect place for a relaxation getaway.

We had a fantastic time at this property. It was perfect for the 2 of us and right across from the beach made it even better. We plan on coming back. We have shared with several of our friends where we stayed and they are very interested in booking that same condo. Thank you for a great weekend stay!

Galveston Island condo

The property was very clean. The whole process from check in to check out was very easy. The condo had all the necessary kitchen needs. My only complaint would be the living room furniture. The chairs were uncomfortable, and the couch was lumpy. All other furniture was ok.

Great place

Great time at the condo! Very clean and no problem checking in. Everything was as advertised. This isn’t a complaint but all condos in that region are across the busy street from the beach so it can get a bit noisy. We slept great though. Restaurants and bars are nearby but a bit too far for us to walk. All in all we’ll be back!
