Location was great! Right next to Walmart and super close to the beach. It said there was a heated pool (which is one of the reasons we chose this condo), but when I asked the person in the office about it, she said the heater hadn’t worked for a while. Other than that, everything was as described.

A great getaway from the busy city

The owners were so organized and thorough with the entire check in and out process. The unit was very clean, and my child just loved the twin pull out bed. It’s a great unit for couples or small families. Easy access to the pools and the beach. I would definitely recommend. Thank you all for such a wonderful stay! We really needed some family time and the beach.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The location was great and it was so nice to start my day with coffee on the balcony and end with a dip in the pool/hot tub. Upon arrival we had issues unlocking the door and I appreciate how fast y’all responded and got us right inside! Thanks for everything

Amazing experience

My wife and I traveled to Galveston with our two kids, 4 and 2 year old, as our family vacation this year. We came across this rental property which we found to be our best pick from the available options. However, after having stayed here for a week, we are glad we chose it. The apartment was spotless. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals. The freezer stopped working before we arrived and the owner called us ahead of time and took care of the problem the next day without disturbing any of our vacation time. The kids loved the pools on-site and the beach which was across the street. We loved the location of this property which was very close to everything. The check-in was quick and easy. We received ahead of time email communications from the owner of what to expect and how to access the property. Everything was amazing. We definitely will be staying here again in the future. We highly recommend this property and owner.

This colorful complex is on the Galveston Seawall. You can cross safely at the light nearby to get to the beach. Walmart and a gas station nearby for any essentials you forgot. The property is spacious and well maintained. No view of the ocean, only the parking lot, and a peek at the pool. The first pool is very close by, as is the office and a 2nd pool is also on this property. This 2nd story unit is perfect for two plus couch and roll away for littles, if you don't mind climbing stairs. Comfortable King bed, hot water & good pressure in the shower, nice furnishings, great TV package, and fully equipped kitchen with full size refrigerator & ice maker - but bring your muffin pan if you're planning on baking. We would stay here again. Owners were responsive and interested in making sure we had access and everything we needed. Thank you for creating such a clean, neat, comfortable place to stay.

Pelican Pad

We stayed here during cheer competition- location is short walk to beach & by red light so you can cross when road is busy & a plus to drive into traffic. Also very close to Wal-Mart. It has balcony but not beach view (view of condos behind) . Can see small view of ocean from bedroom window. Is on 2nd story so long flight of stairs up. Bed was comfy (not super soft), cot with mattress also available and was comfy. Couch has pull out bed but was comfy to just sleep on couch. Plenty of linens and pillows. Beautiful colors in condo (my fav color teal) The lock is a little hard to open & lock must have it just right. Parking included in rate. Was always a space right below stairs. Dumpster very close by. Condos are gated in so felt safe. Pools were nice but heated pool too cold for spring break. (It’s 85) The other pool location did have hot tub. Outside there was a bad smell by office area? Not sure what it was. Owner was very responsive. Has WiFi & tv. Overall we loved it and was very cozy! We would stay here again.

Overall had a great experience! Condo was clean and comfortable with many of the comforts of home! You literally only need food and your preferred toiletries! Both pools are great and a crosswalk to the beach is just steps away! Only hiccup encountered was the office hours times were wrong so we did get a parking warning but was able to correct it quickly. Family is already asking can we book again!
