"We stayed for four nights over Indigenous Peoples Day, which is the perfect time to vacation in Galveston. The property had everything we needed and was comfortable. The short walk to the beach with all of our grandsons' beach toys and our chairs was easy with the wagons we found in the garage. We will definitely stay in Beachtown again!"

"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."

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"
