Great condo for a 3 maybe 4 size family.
Nice condo but limited space. Having one bathroom was awful. There was no place to put food. Example pantry or closet. The refrigerator took almost a day 1/2 to get my food cold. We had to put a few items in the freezer to make sure they wouldn’t spoil until we could figure the fridge out. The tree in front on the living room window needs to be cut back so more light can come through the window. There were quite a few electrical outlets that did not work. There was no cleaning products to clean the countertops or other services. This is not a bad review. Im writing this to maybe help the owner make some improvements for the next family to stay.

Wow
My stay was good however the room was dated and the patio was not clean at all I reached out to someone via text and thought that they would take it upon themselves to send someone after reading my text. If it wasn't for my wife not wanting to relocate I would have requested that even more. Again no one press the issue to say no worries we have a better location that I might have been interested in, as I did mention that it was my wife's birthday. Wow

Baytowne Stay
The rental experience was easy. Facility was nice and close to shops/restaurants. Room was small and lacked basic necessities (sheets, pillow cases). Very minimal storage space for bags and places to put clothing. Door lock to the bathroom was broken, table was broken, and furniture was old. Having a key or key card would have been much more convenient.

👍🏼👍🏼 For Baytown!
Our property was exactly as the listing showed. It was a great size for our family of 4, my kids loved the bunk room. The unit is not particularly big, but it’s all you need to make breakfast and get ready for the day outside!
The shuttles were great, they took us to the beach, we were able to put our beach chairs and cooler in the back, even my sons surfboard.
My husband and son played golf each morning and were able to arrange pick up so they didn’t have to drive.
The Baytown had plenty to do to keep the kids busy, cute shops and restaurants.
Definitely recommended for families, especially with kids (wish I found it sooner when my children were younger)!

Perfect Location
Everything was great! No closet space in bunk room and could have used a luggage rack. Also, needed a big pot in kitchen. Only 2 small ones. I also wish patio was a little cleaner. Table needed to be cleaned and ground washed off with a hose. Other than that, stay was perfect.
