Beautiful property

Everything was great. Had a small problem with the kitchen sink (thought it wouldn’t drain, ended up being a cup stuck in it) the owner sent someone out that day got it taken care of. Pool was beautiful. Condo was amazing and spacious especially for 5 kids. Only problem was the pool wasn’t open 24/7 for the kids lol. Would recommend staying there. I would stay there again.

Perfect stay

The property was absolutely perfect for our group and what we needed. Very spacious, clean and had all of the amenities. The view was gorgeous! The entry of the property is still under construction from the Hurricane I assume, but the condo we stayed in is not under construction and far away from all renovations.

Never judge a book by it's cover

The property was under construction. It gave an unsettling feeling. But once we finally got to our unit. We were pleasantly surprised. A few suggestions: keep a stock of toilet paper, paper towels, bath towels, and last kitchen sink hot water wasn't getting hot. Outside of these few things the stay was good.

Beautiful Views

We truly enjoyed our stay on Labor Day weekend. The condo has beautiful views directly facing the gulf, which was so nice to see out of the windows and from the large balcony. The amenities were great too - the pool area and huge and always clean. There are multiple pools, volleyball court, seating areas, etc. there is public beach access directly across the street which was easy and convenient. I loved that it’s just a bit further down from the main busy part of seawall blvd so we were able to avoid big crowds at the beach. The host is very quick to respond and is helpful. Thanks again and we look forward to staying again in the future.

Grandparents and 4 Children

We spent 3 nights in Galveston with our 4 grandkids. They absolutely loved the pool. We appreciated the 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, which was easier and cheaper than getting 2 hotel rooms. We used the kitchen to cook a couple of meals and the washer and dryer were wonderful to keep up with all the wet towels and swimsuits. We did not go to the beach directly across from the condo, because we like to rent chairs and umbrellas and have access to restrooms. There were plenty of towels (both bathroom and beach). The kitchen had dishes, pans, utensils, etc. The owner was very easy to contact and dealt with a minor issue promptly. We enjoyed our stay!

Great Vrbo stay!

This was a wonderful place for a Galveston getaway. Our property manager, Larry, was so great to work with. He made sure everything met our satisfaction. Resort has three pools and a hot tub and so close to the beach. Beautiful place to stay.

Awesome!

We had a great time staying at this condo. The condo was clean and had everything we needed and had plenty of space. The view from our balcony was probably the best on the property. The owner was extremely helpful and stayed in communication with us. The pool was amazing and I would love to stay here again in the future.

Very nice condo! I LOVED our stay!

My family and I really enjoyed our stay. I LOVE the view of the large patio balcony of the pool and the ocean. The condo was very clean and AC was very cool. So glad it looked just like the pictures posted. The property is clean and pools are sparkling. Thank you so much for hosting me and my family. We cherished our time here and I hope you will have us back!
