clean condo; great security & pool

Guest: Deb P. (Austin, Texas)
Date of Stay: 06/05/11 Review Submitted: 08/11/11

I like this property because it has a front desk with security guard so there are not a lot of people hanging around. The pool is very nice with a covered area and tables. My condo had lots of cute beach themed dishes and plastic glassware. This is a great price for a condo with the beach (at low tide) across the street. The owner was great with turnaround of information. Restaurant at 35th & O street had the best gumbo I've had in decades!

My husband and I enjoyed a long weekend at the condo. It was very clean, cozy, and easily accessible. The view of the ocean was spectacular. The entire complex was quiet and well maintained. The next time we are in Galveston, we will definitely stay here.

We had a very pleasant experience and we would do it again. The condo is clean, well organized and has everything you need. We liked the "theme" of the condo: sea shells, beaches, etc. The location and the view from the living area are fantastic. We definitely will recommend the place to our friends. Sue

Date of Stay: 07/02/09 Review Submitted: 07/02/09

Our family of three stayed in Unit #709 and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The decor & view were both relaxing and entertaining. The condo was clean & cozy. The main island attractions are just a couple of minutes away - Moody Gardens, Schlitterbahn, movie theater, etc. WiFi is also provided; a definite plus. The only drawbacks were no TV in the master bedroom & there was no DVD player available (only VCR). The owner is also in constant contact, if necessary. We would definitely recommend & stay at this condo again.

Owner response:Adding a television to the master bedrom is a good idea but cannot be done owing to placement of cable outlet BEHIND guest bed. On July 5, we replaced the DVD player that was in the unit this Fall. Paul

The condo was so bright and clean with evrything you need. The view from the livingroom and dining area you see nothing but ocean. Moody Gardens and Walmart are just a couple of blocks away. The beaches and restaurants are just a few minutes away.

Great place to spend your vacation. This condo is centrally located with a terrific view of the ocean. It was clean and very spacious. There was plenty of room for 5 of us. The building is well maintained and was very quiet. The pool area is fantastic and it was the perfect place to end our days of adventure. The owner was a pleasure to deal with and made things very easy for us. Thank you for allowing us to enjoy John and Peggy's Beach Retreat. Galveston is coming back and we will definately be back to visit again.
