We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The condo is top tier with beautiful decor and all the creature comforts. We felt at home. The master bath alone is a getaway! The wrap around balcony allowed us to enoy mornings outside. We had 4 adults and 4 kids and it was not crowded. Just add people and food and you're all set.

Perfect Condo for Families

We have a family of 5 and this condo was perfect for our stay. Very clean and exactly what we were expecting. We had friends stay in other condos in the building and this condo was well stocked and communication was excellent. We come yearly for the Beach Blitz soccer tournament and we will definitely stay here again.

Weekend Ladies Trip

We all just loved this condo. The decor was very coastal and made you really feel like you were at the beach. The bedding was super cute and there were plenty of extra blankets and pillows for everyone! The master bathroom was just amazing, we all took turns to soak in that beautiful bath tub. There were really nice soaps, body wash, well stocked kitchen, even the toilet paper was top notch and plenty of it. This host really knows how to do it right! We all wanted to purchase a condo just like this one we were all so taken with the property. We will be booking this again on our next stay 100%! Thanks for all the perfect details and the excellent communication along the way. You guys are incredible hosts!!!!

Perfect Location

We had a nice time and enjoyed the media room on the 6th floor watching baseball game, played pool and ping pong in the gameroom. We walked to Marcos for dinner and easily had another dinner on the strand which was 5-10 min drive. House was very nice and had everything we could need. They had staple supplies to get us checked in which was very thoughtful. We look forward returning again!

There were five of us in our party, all adults and we found the condo to be very clean and in excellent condition. Our hosts, Tim and Lisa Sawyer were very accommodating to us with supplying information that we needed to know about their condo and also the Emerald by the Sea facility. The condo had lots of room in it making it a very comfortable and enjoyable experience for all of us.

Exceptional! Great for a family!

My husband and I brought our 4 kids here for Spring Break. (16,13,12,2) There was plenty of room for all of us to have our own space and gather in living area. The weather was not the greatest, but the heated pool and hot tub did not disappoint. Game room had plenty to entertain your family as well as a really fun theater room that your family can reserve as well. The condo was clean, details galore. They've thought of just about everything you could need. We would highly recommend and will be back!

Galveston weekend getaway

Owners were terrific. Condo was perfect for four adults. Everything was clean and well stocked. The only thing that was just a little disappointing was the view. When we filtered our search on VRBO, we included an ocean view. We did have a distant ocean view but not as close as what we thought we were getting. There are great views from the pool area. And we were extremely impressed with the parking facility, on-site staff and security. We would certainly recommend this unit and these owners to anyone as long as you understand the ocean view/beach filter on VRBO is far reaching.
