Birthday weekend in Galveston
The Condo was very clean, it is an older building but the host has updated the Condo and it was decorated very nicely. Had a small issue with the guest toilet when we arrived but the host responded within minutes and had a handy man over very quickly to check it out. The view is unbeatable and proximity to the beach is wonderful.

By the Sea
This place had a killer view, which was across the highway from the beach. The cleaners had left the floor quite wet and we ran out of toilet paper. We also had no paper towels or a broom, which is necessary at the beach. Walmart was close, so we bought our own. I asked the host about it and she said they had to quit leaving any extra things out because of theft. How sad is that? We enjoyed our stay.

Great bday/girls get away
I booked the condo for a beach weekend with my sisters and best friend and it did not disappoint! We walked across the street for a beach day and morning beach walks. Great views from the balcony. The size and accommodations were perfect! The only thing we had trouble with was the living room tv, but we didn’t really watch any tv anyway, we were too busy enjoying the sea breeze and the company. I definitely recommend this little gem!

Galveston stay
The unit number was not provided so I had to call the property manager at check-in to obtain. It was very difficult to unlock and get into the unit. The unit smelled musty and the vents were covered in dust. The tv in the living room didn’t work, the sink in the second bathroom took forever to drain. I was told by the property manager that I should make sure check to make sure that the cleaning company hadn’t unplugged the tv by accident. When I looked behind the entertainment center the floor was covered with dirt, dead bugs and what appeared to be chips and crackers. In the bedroom closet to the deck the glass behind the end table was busted. The handrail on the deck was loose. The overall appearance of this unit was dirty and outdated. Not worth the amount that was charged. Also I emailed the property manager prior to our trip and never received a response.

Love this place.
This is my second time staying at this place. They are very friendly and condos are well kept. The view is great, even though the highway is between you and the beach. Watching the sunrise from here is awesome. I would recommend to anyone. If I go back to galveston, I will be staying here again if available.

The property was clean and neat as usual. We have been frequent fliers for many years. Elizabeth is attentive and quick to respond. No hangers in closet; no spare trash bags. Ours was a quick trip so trash bags were not an issue. The extraneous VRBO charges are becoming a big issue. Recently stayed in another condo; same size but fees were not as high.

Only okay
Not “great” or “awesome”, just alright. Four of us had plenty of room. The condo was very clean, with an updated, roomy kitchen. But there were some issues that we had a problem with. A total overabundance of mirrors (apparently to make the place look larger) made it creepy: every room had an entire wall of mirrors, with additional mirrors hanging on actual walls! (We actually took one down to check for a hidden camera.) There were no ceiling lights (only lamps) except in the kitchen and bathrooms—but some of those lamps didn’t even have a bulb. I hit a snag trying to check in (neither the receptionist nor I could find the room number), so I left a voicemail describing the problem, asking that the owner call me back. That was Friday. I checked out Sunday and have yet to hear from her. That’s a problem I don’t care to repeat. As I said, the place was entirely adequate for us—even nice—but the issues overshadowed the positives during our stay.

Clean but basic
This was a very clean condo. However the furnishings were very shabby, especially the outdoor chairs. Minimal linens provided and they had seen better days. The location is good, parking was convenient. But if you’re looking for something in the neighborhood of luxury, this wouldn’t be a good choice. We did have an issue on Sunday morning when the power went out at 2:00 am. The property manager was very responsive and came to our rescue to get the power restored.

Excellent location. Very nice pool. Secure property..
Lack of communication prior to check. Condo comfortable and roomy. Condo and balcony definitely needs TLC. No personal touches minimal decor. Curtains hung backwards. Shower rods rusted. Cabinets and closet cluttered. Shortage of towels and tissue. Bedroom threshold loose and floor cracked. Film on window peeling. Loved having an ice maker. Bonus! We didn’t feel like guests. Felt more like we were renting from an acquaintance.

About the host

Hosted by Property Manager Elizabeth Garibay

Host profile image

Why they chose this property

As long time visitors to the island, our family has owned a home in Galveston for over 40 years. This was a perfect getaway after many years of renting from time to time; our original home in Taramar Beach was destroyed in Hurricane Alicia in the 1980's. We have enjoyed this condo throughout the years and look forward to hearing about all the wonderful new memories to be made!

What makes this property unique

The ability to just get away and not mess with the day to day fuss of the rat race makes this condo an oasis. Cool and quiet, it brings all the best of the beach, with few complications. With the outstanding view and beach access just a few steps away, there is no need to look further for the perfect weekend or spring break vacation for you and the family!
