The decor was elevated and the layout was well thought out. The beds, including the pullout sofa, were very comfortable. Condo had everything we needed for a 5 day stay. We walked to the pier in less than 10 minutes to watch the sunrise and ate great food at close restaurants. 10/10 recommend!

Piece of Paradise

Our family had the most amazing time here. It was so so hard to leave such a beautiful place with such a beautiful view. Drinking coffee every morning on the balcony watching the waves while my children are laughing inside will absolutely always be one of my favorite memories. Craig & Jill go above and beyond with what they provide to ensure your vacation is stress free. 10/10 would recommend to anyone who will listen!

Galveston Island condo

The property was very clean. The whole process from check in to check out was very easy. The condo had all the necessary kitchen needs. My only complaint would be the living room furniture. The chairs were uncomfortable, and the couch was lumpy. All other furniture was ok.
