Baytown is great.

We love Baytown! My two teen daughters had a great time. I felt like it was a safe environment to let everyone enjoy spring break.

Great place to stay

We loved this condo. Everything was pretty clean and organized. The only thing we hated was the AC sound which was pretty high and noisy especially at night. The dryer filter was slightly broken and kept coming off during drying process which had me open the dryer to put it back on couple of times. Bed was comfy, kitchen was renovated and bathroom was big and clean. Overall I highly recommend it and would definitely book here again.

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.

Nice, but wouldn’t go back.

I appreciate the location of this condo, but I feel like this condo could use a facelift. A bunch of little things wrong with it was a bit annoying. The remotes to the tv didn’t work, the main door to the balcony doesn’t close right, the dated suede couches, the balcony needed a pressure wash, patio furniture was cheap, and the master bedroom bed was just awfully uncomfortable. Honestly the pullout couch bed was way more comfortable. Like I said, we had a great time, it’s just for the price of the room I wish they would at least pour a little bit more money into their room maybe take a little pride in what they have to offer. Also, the amount of codes you have to keep handy just to get to the room is ridiculous.

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.

WONDERFUL!!

We couldn’t have picked a better location. This is our second year staying on the village side & this is by far our favorite location! We stayed comfortably as a family of 5 (myself, spouse & our 3 children) for 8 nights. We will definitely be back!

👍🏼👍🏼 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)!

Convenient

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I had a good experience overall it was great. The parking was a big issue which I still can’t understand. For the amount of money we pay there has to be a way to assure we get parking.
