Clean, well appointed condo with an excellent view of the ocean and only steps away from the beach. Communication was excellent. Would stay there again!
This was the perfect location for our family vacation. From the condo & amenities to the location, it was just what we wanted! We loved to walk the Seawall & our teens loved hanging by the pool! Places to visit, The Strand District, Pleasure Pier, The Spot & Katie’s Seafood! Jom & Monica were quick to answer any questions we had! We would definitely come back!
Our family really enjoyed our stay here! The condo was comfortable, clean and had plenty of room for our family of 7! The kitchen was well stocked and there were even beach towels, beach chairs and sand toys as well! We will definitely be back to this one!!!

Our rental was perfect! Everything was clean and worked perfectly. No issues. Loved the pool and hot tub! Very convenient to everything our family had planned. I highly recommend this place and if there was an issue our property owners and the staff were extremely pleasant and easy to work with.
Thought we would get away and reconnect with our twins for the long weekend! Had a wonderful time restaurant hopping and enjoying some sites of Galveston. We are already planning our next visit.
Stayed week with kids with us part of time. Good location. Nice unit. Overall condo is about 25 years old but great value if you are looking for a decent place to stay.
The condo was well maintained. It had a fully equipped kitchen. The view off the balcony of the ocean was beautiful. The condo had every thing for young kids, crib, highchair, and a closet full of beach toys.
Only complaint was neither pool was heated as advertised.
Overall a 5 star condo. Will definitely be returning to this condo for my next visit
Property was large for our family. Had beach towels and toys at the ready. Beach was walkable -just across the Main Street. Easy access! Gated property, so secure. Pools were fun for kids. No too crowded. Close to lots of fun activities. Drove-to hot to walk. Tub drain issue in one bath, but we made due. Property managers were responsive in minutes. Only negative was kids room had no tv, but not a deal breaker. Kitchen was well stocked with equipment, although we did no cooking.
We enjoyed our stay! Property was clean and stocked with amenities listed. Conveniently located across from the beach. Pools in the community were great! We enjoyed the beach view from the balcony.
Nice spacious condo, easy walk over to the beach, close to everything but not in the bad traffic section of seawall. Wonderful owners & guy in office at condos super nice & helpful. Enjoyed the lovely pool. If needed anything very easy walk over to Walmart. Just a great stay.
We love staying here. We have stayed multiple times and always have a great stay. The condo is well stocked with everything you could need. Owners are great to work with. We will definitely stay again.
