A sweet little condo in a lovely setting. Great access to the beach and Seawall. The condo was very clean and well stocked. I would happily stay here again! It was lovely!
We loved this property! Right across the street from the beach, a wonderful, hot tub, and a perfect condo! We would definitely stay here again. Very roomy and clean inside the condo and the complex! Not one single complaint here
This is our third time staying and we love this condo. It is a great location and near everything we like to do. The hosts are awesome and quick to respond. Highly recommend.
Wonderful place to stay. Great location right across from the beach. Pool was very nice. Condo was very clean & had everything that we needed. Cute beach decor. Would definitely stay here again!!
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!
We had such a great time! We loved having 2 pools on the property, the beach across the street and even a Walmart for groceries. It is the perfect place to chill for a weekend.
The owners were great and super responsive.
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.
Absolutely charming little condo. There was a beautiful view of the pool. Basics for bath and laundry were indeed present. Comfy and cozy. The perfect place for the two of us. We truly enjoyed our stay!
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.
The condo met all of our needs and then some! Very comfortable couch and bed. Bathroom and living room were lovely. We used the patio almost everyday. The kitchen and laundry were awesome. especially liked that it was only steps from parking! Thanks so much! I

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.
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!
The Condo was amazing and spacious !! We loved the area and pool was amazing ! Able to connect with owner if any issues would arise!!Great Stay and we will be back at this condo !!!Thank you
Fully recommend staying here, the hosts were very helpful and kind! Not too far from the beach. Will definitely be booking this place again as soon as possible!
