Wingate by Wyndham Galveston Beachfront at the Seawall

8/10 Good

"All was good"

Three bed room, beach- front end unit with magnificent views, on the11 floor.

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay at the Galvestonian condo was wonderful. Our host was very personable, communicating with us before our stay all that we needed to know to make our visit complete. The condo is located at one end of the 11th floor. Facing the front balcony is a beautiful full view of the Gulf. In the distance from the back balcony, you can watch freighters and cruise ships entering and leaving the Galveston port. Especially noted was the cleanliness of the condo. We highly recommend this condo and look forward to another visit."

Beachfront ~ Ocean Views • Family-Friendly 6BEDRM ~ Sleeps 18. Prime Location!

10/10 Excellent

"House was beautiful and clean and had a wonderful view of the private beach! House had everything you needed to have the perfect stay! The only issue we had was that we were told the golf cart was in the shop but should be fixed by Friday, the day of our arrival! We never heard anything so I called on the way down and was told it still wasn’t fixed so now we had to rent one to be able to get my 92 year old mother to the beach! It was a 500 expense we didn’t anticipate but we still enjoyed our family vacation and would definitely stay here again! The check in process is easiest we ever had and owners were so easy to communicate with! If you want to stay in a beautiful home with a great view, a gated area that provides extra safety and an overall fantastic vacation this is a great option! Thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful home! David @ Linda Lyons"

"Because of the host being other than the facility,we felt somewhat like a red headed step child. Will probably not use a host other than the facility, despite a higher price."

10/10 Excellent

"We had a fantastic stay! The location was absolutely perfect—the boardwalk to the beach is right beside the home, making it incredibly easy to get to and from the beach. And the beach views were probably our favorite part. They were amazing!The house worked perfectly for our group of eight. There was plenty of room for everyone to spread out, and we never felt like we were on top of each other. Everything was very clean when we arrived and looked just as it did in the pictures.The host was also great—very responsive and easy to get in touch with whenever we had a question.We had an amazing time in Galveston and made some great memories here. We would absolutely recommend this home, especially for a larger group looking for plenty of space, beautiful views, and easy beach access. We would definitely stay here again if we found ourselves back in Galveston."
