We really enjoyed this property. The owner was easy to communicate with and resolved any issues quickly. We enjoyed that the pool was very close to the unit and the unit was ground level. Walmart was also across the street which was convenient for drinks and snacks!

First Trip to Galveston
Unit was terrific. I'm always a big fan of a separate bedroom. Bed was comfortable. Close to restaurants. View of the pool courtyard was fantastic. Access to the beach was great. Exploring Galveston was a ball. Looking forward to visiting Galvaston again. I will look to this unit first.

Girl's trip
My friend and I had a great time! Loved the balcony which opens up to the pool area! Property was clean and well equipped with kit hen and bathroom necessities. Sofa was comfortable to sleep on, i didnt bother opening it out. Could have used a step ladder to climb up to that tall bed though! Probably not the best choice for 2 old ladies with bad knees! But the price was right! We had a great time!

Perfect Weekend Getaway
We came to have one last surprise getaway for our kids before school started. We absolutely loved the location ( you can't beat how close it is to the pool!) From a family standpoint, we loved how close it was to the Walmart as well. The place was very clean, owner answered and questions I had. My family really enjoyed staying here.

I had a great experience. I haven't stayed at a lot of VRBO homes but this condo has great mattresses that gave great sleep. The location is centrally located and just a walk from the beach.The owners were nice, going above and beyond for us. There was a misunderstanding on my part on scheduling and the owners came through for me and my family. Would definitely recommend this place for anyone wanting to stay in Galveston.
