Not What It Cracks Up To Be!

The house was built around 1961 and little has been done to it! There is no internet to speak of, the TV doesn’t work because it relies on internet. No dishwasher, the washer 9r dryer put a horrible, rust like stain on our clothes. Its not in a great neighborhood! Its on a busy street and parking is a big challenge. The floors are terrible, in one of the bedrooms it literally feels like you will fall thru. I wish I could post pictures!!! The management company tried to fix the internet, but it can't be fixed! They never should advertise they have it. Im not sure where the other reviews came from, because I find it very hard to believe they were okay with this place. I asked for a partial refund, but they didn't even consider it. We left a day early because i couldn't stay any longer.

Nice place to stay with the family, clean and nice. If I had to complain about anything the flooring is showing some age, but that does not effect the quality of stay and definitely would stay again!!

Just blocks from the coast and almost a mile from The Schlitterbahn Water park, this place was very convenient. Will do it again.

Great stay in Galveston!

We had a very pleasant stay there. The house was clean, felt safe in the neighborhood and close to Moody Gardens, which is where we needed to be. Host is very responsive and only needed to call them when I arrived to make sure I was at the right place.

Fun beach vacation

We enjoyed our stay at this beach rental! It was a little difficult with only one bathroom, but we made it work. The bedrooms were nice and the place was clean overall. We enjoyed having the beach towels and boogie boards available to us, and were thankful that there was a coffee maker in the rental. Overall, it was quite a pleasant stay!

Loved it! I could’ve stayed more if I had the time

The 3 bedroom condo is fully stocked! Coffee, sugar, creamer, cooking oil, bbq grill etc. We bought food and we’re able to save allot of money because of all the essentials provided. Even beach chairs 👍 and board games!

We Enjoyed are stay here with a family of six it was nice to have a table that fit us all. All of us Absolutely loved the shower. We also really appreciated the sand toys to play with at the beach. The only negatives we had were the code they gave did not work when we called they provided us with a new code and then the next day it changed again. 😑 The master bedroom door was broken so they did provide a curtain for us. Overall we can’t wait to go back and stay again.

Our Stay

We hade a very nice stay. There had been some recent renovations that were very nice, however the bathroom could have arranged different or been a little bigger. It was very hard for my 6'5" husband to sit on the toilet without hitting the shower, as well as my son in law. and the toaster nor any of the openers worked. we left a note because it was the nite before going home that we discovered this. We were a little concerned about the neighborhood, and wouldnt let my grandchildren go outside to play on the porch when my 13 yr old granddaughter got whistled at by a grown man. But overall the stay was pleasant.
