Perfect place for vacation

Dave's property is truly a gem. The view is breathtaking. It is so nice to wake up in the morning seeing the beach and hearing the waves. Very relaxing. The condo itself is complete with all the things that we needed. We were able to cook since it has the kitchen stuff that we needed. The washer and dryer is a big plus. Bed is comfortable. Dave also responds to our message fast and checked on us on what we needed. Dave and Pam's place truly deserve the 5 star rating. Will definitely be booking this place again once we are back in Galveston. My family loved it.

Spring Break

The condo itself was spotless, and provided everything you needed such as towels, dishes, etc. It's not that big, and there is only one couch. I feel like the pictures depicted a larger space than what was the reality. The pillows need to be replaced in the bedrooms. They're extremely flat, and the bedspreads are clean, but are are worn out and need to replaced with something newer. The condo complex where this condo resides is old, outdated, messy, & disappointing. During our stay, the water was shut off for 3 hrs on Tuesday. The pools are not as they seem in the pictures as they need to be maintained much better. The lounge chairs are cheap plastic and need to be soaped down and scrubbed. They were extremely dirty. If I had know that this condo was in this building, I would have never booked it. I've stayed in bigger, much nicer condos, with better facilities, than this one and spent less money. WAY over priced for what you get. We loved our time in Galveston, and will come back, but will for sure stay somewhere else.

Cute, Fabulous Place!

This condo was perfect for our family Christmas trip! Everything was exactly as described and pictured. We had plenty of room for family of 6. Everyone had their own bed-always a plus. The kitchen was just like home with plenty of pots, pans and utensils. On top of all that, Dave was an amazing host and had great communication. This is definitely the place to stay in Galveston!

Clean, well-appointed unit with great views

We stayed at Dave's property with myself, my mom, my brother and his family. We were easily able to fit our large group in the unit. I looked at other units within this complex and couldn't really tell them apart online. After having been there, I can say that this one is likely one of the best. It is on the end and the top floor, so probably among the most quiet. It has great views of both the gulf and the surrounding area (windows on two sides of the unit). The kitchen was well-stocked. The only downside we noticed was the balcony railing seemed a little loose (so we kept the littlest kids off of the balcony). Would definitely stay again!

Great stay!!

Overall, we had a great stay! When we arrived one of the elevators was down, which was challenging getting our luggage upstairs to the third floor. The next day we were able to find other usable elevators so didn’t have to take the stairs! The condo was great and very clean! I wished we had been able to use to balcony more but the mosquitoes were horrible in the evening! So that kept us inside instead of being able to enjoy the sounds of the ocean! He pools were great and we might have been the only crazy people in the non-heated most days but the kids loved the pool with the island! Thanks again for everything!

This is a wonderful beachfront condo in a well-maintained complex. Anything you can think of was supplied. I appreciated that there was an elevator and we didn’t have to walk up to the third floor. Beautiful poolside and beach views from the balcony.

Great place!

Everything was perfect and Dave was very informative, so much so that I didn’t even have to ask about anything during our stay! The pools were great - you can even see one of them from the balcony so we let our teenagers go down and we stayed upstairs! Beach is right across the street and the view from the balcony is amazing! They are doing some renovations to the front of the building, but it doesn’t impact where the condo is.

Dolphin Smile, and Host are Amazing

We loved our time at this condo, and wanted to extend it, but when you are in an amazing condo, it stays booked. I can't think of a single thing that our hosts could have provided that was lacking. Coffee, condiments, amazing decorator touches that you don't always find in rentals. These hosts are stars!

5 Stars!! Excellent Experience!

This is by far the best VRBO experience I’ve ever had. The condo was extremely clean and organized. The kitchen and bathrooms were well-stocked. We had everything we needed and more! It was so nice to wake up in the morning and have coffee and cream available. Extra linens for the sofa bed and dinette bed were clean and crisply folded in labeled bins in the closet. The view of the ocean from the balcony and primary bedroom were amazing! And the communication from Dave was outstanding. He checked in with us throughout our stay to make sure we had everything we needed. I can’t think of a single thing that could have made our stay more comfortable. I will book with Dave again on our next trip to Galveston!!
