Perfect last minute find!
We love Seascapes, and this unit was no exception. Perfect last minute find for a quick beach trip for our family of four. Clean and comfortable with good pool/beach views and everything we needed was provided. Definitely recommend.

Wonderful Beach Stay
We had a great time at this property. The location was wonderful, the beach was great for our family (2 adults, a 7 year old, and a 4 year old). It is a small space, but plenty big enough for our family. The bunk beds were a hit with the kiddos and the unit was very clean. We would like to return next summer!

Cozy, quiet and convenient
Due to the tropical storm last week, we had to push our dates back a few days. Fortunately, the dates we requested were available. The owner was super communicative, flexible and accommodating. We do a lot of RVing, so the space was fine with 2 adults and 2 teens. The condo is quaint and cozy. Fully stocked with everything you need. Loved that it’s in the top floor and towards the back So we never had to worry about any noise above us or high traffic area. This seemed to be very family friendly. Loved having more of a private beach and directly ON the beach. The security guard was very nice. And because of location, amenities , security, we felt safe to allow our teens to do a little bit of their own thing without a ton of oversight. Overall it was a GREAT 5 days away!!!

Comfortable and clean
Very nice unit and great complex directly on the beach. No need to play frogger crossing to the seawall. The host was very easy to communicate with. Beds were really comfortable and the kitchen was easy to cook and prepare food. I appreciated the little vacuum to quickly sweep up sand! The internet was a bit laggy, but that is the only complaint. We appreciated the beach gear, umbrella and drying rack on the balcony. We enjoyed it very much.

Convenient property to a private beach, close to town. Small but perfect for a long weekend for a family of 4 (kids 9 & 12). Property management was very present.

Satisfactory stay for holiday
I chose this condo over a hotel as it the listing said there was a washer/dryer. When we arrived we learned they were pay for use in another part of the complex. The condo was cute, but I would not recommend for more than two people or maybe with two small children. The layout of the bunk beds within the hallway between the master bedroom and living space made it difficult to keep tidy with my sons luggage. We were a party of four and used all sleeping options: master, two bunks, and fold-out couch (which we left out the duration as it was so hard to get set up). If you are an apartment dweller you may be comfortable with the tight quarters, but for the cost, I would choose a hotel instead. You are required to wear wristbands and only one access onto the beach with a security code which were both excessive as these were never checked and often people let you in or out. The view of the beach shown in the picture is from the very far corner of the balcony and overall not the kind of beach experience I would pay for again.

Great unit and owner
The unit is small but space is used wisely and we had no issues. Nothing to do with the owner but the elevator was out our entire stay and we were on the 3rd floor. We got our exercise in and it was a little inconvenient but not terrible. The unit itself had everything we needed. A great view of the pool and ocean. The complex itself is so nice and the convenience of being right on the beach just can't be beat. We love the Seascape and would stay in this unit again. So easy to book and great communication. The beds were all comfortable. Even the sofa bed was great. The kids loved the bunk beds. The extra storage space in the bedroom was as a nice touch. There is a washer and dryer on the same floor that was convenient as well. We had 3 adults and 3 kids during our stay and it was perfect for our needs. Only gave 4 stars on overall rating because of the elevator situation. Everything else was a 5.

Nice vacay with the grandchildren
We were their only 2 short days but enjoyed it all. This unit is very tight on space but had everything you needed. Comfy beds, linens were soft. Kitchen very small but workable. Very easy access to beach, did not have to cross any streets.

Condo is a great location with property right on the beach. No worries about running across Seawall Blvd. Plenty of pools and hot tubs all heated. We decided to cook breakfast one morning and condo had everything we needed including a citrus press. Highly recommend.

Wonderful Beach View Condo!
I stayed here with my family to celebrate my son’s birthday. The room is super clean, and the view of the ocean from our balcony was lovely! Our kids also loved the large pool too. We would absolutely stay here again! Rachael is a great hostess, and communication was excellent from booking the room, to the end of our stay. Thank you for making our weekend getaway an amazing one!

Perfect location for a long weekend
We loved the location of this property. The unit had a beautiful view of the ocean from the balcony and direct beach access. The grounds were immaculate and the complex had a very family-friendly vibe. The condo unit was tastefully decorated and clean. It is compact, but the owner has made such smart use of the space. The owner reached out during our stay to make sure we had everything we needed. Just a short drive to all that Galveston has to offer. Highly recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Rachael Shaw

Host profile image
I relocated to the Houston area from the United Kingdom in 2005, and always enjoy visiting Galveston. Decided to purchase this lovely condo so our family could enjoy an "Island Getaway" at the beach and take a well deserved break!
While we are not enjoying it, I hope you and your family can enjoy it too!

Why they chose this property

Seascape Condos was a perfect choice for our vacation home, with direct beach access and not having to cross the busy road! It's close to all that Galveston offers yet you feel like you are away for it all!
