Great place to stay!

We really enjoyed this property. The owner was easy to communicate with and resolved any issues quickly. We enjoyed that the pool was very close to the unit and the unit was ground level. Walmart was also across the street which was convenient for drinks and snacks!

Great Weekend Getaway

We had such a great time! We loved having 2 pools on the property, the beach across the street and even a Walmart for groceries. It is the perfect place to chill for a weekend. The owners were great and super responsive.

Perfect Weekend Getaway

We came to have one last surprise getaway for our kids before school started. We absolutely loved the location ( you can't beat how close it is to the pool!) From a family standpoint, we loved how close it was to the Walmart as well. The place was very clean, owner answered and questions I had. My family really enjoyed staying here.

First Trip to Galveston

Unit was terrific. I'm always a big fan of a separate bedroom. Bed was comfortable. Close to restaurants. View of the pool courtyard was fantastic. Access to the beach was great. Exploring Galveston was a ball. Looking forward to visiting Galvaston again. I will look to this unit first.

Simply Awesome

I had a great experience. I haven't stayed at a lot of VRBO homes but this condo has great mattresses that gave great sleep. The location is centrally located and just a walk from the beach.The owners were nice, going above and beyond for us. There was a misunderstanding on my part on scheduling and the owners came through for me and my family. Would definitely recommend this place for anyone wanting to stay in Galveston.

Girl's trip

My friend and I had a great time! Loved the balcony which opens up to the pool area! Property was clean and well equipped with kit hen and bathroom necessities. Sofa was comfortable to sleep on, i didnt bother opening it out. Could have used a step ladder to climb up to that tall bed though! Probably not the best choice for 2 old ladies with bad knees! But the price was right! We had a great time!

Condo was as shown. Very basic amenities, but fit our needs. Towels were a little tired and the sheets for the pull out did not fit well. Comfortable queen bed! Loved the location next to the pool. Would stay again.

Very roomy one bedroom in a great location across the street from the Seawall Beach and just out our back door was the condo area pool. The kitchen was larger than expected and there was a good amount of kitchen stuff..pots and pans etc. Even had supplies for laundry. We had a great time and will return to Galveston and to this unit if we can.

This was a great place to stay! Very conveniently located next to the beach and two beautiful swimming pools! The condo itself could use some updating. I was disappointed not to be able to open the windows to get fresh air in the evenings and mornings (they didn’t open or were locked with notes not to open them). The air was musty inside. But they had all the basic supplies and the layout was nice. The queen size bed was very comfortable. I’d definitely stay here again!
