Another Wonderful Stay

Review Submitted: 08/14/11
We had another great stay this year! We rented the one next door last year, but since we had our families coming this time, we got the bigger townhome. Our parents loved the place & thought it was very nice. They had nothing but good things to say about "our beach house". Thank you, Nancy, for making this such a great place to stay with our family. We are already talking about next year.
Owner response:Thank you Michele for your kind words. I have so much gratitude for reviews our guests write for us. See you again next year. Blessings to you and your family.

Nancy was awesome to work with throughout the whole process of deciding where to have my family vacation...all 13+ of us! She was very thorough and curteous and helpful! When we arrived at our vacation beach house for the week...we were all very excited and very impressed with their home! Everything we needed was there...and then some. Everyone had a blast! The beach house is in a great location, very clean and fully stocked. Nancy & Brian, thank you for allowing us in your home...It was great and everyone really enjoyed it! Will definetly book again!
Owner response:Thank you LeeAnn. It was a pleasure meeting you and your family. I look forward to your next visit. Happy Summer.

Review Submitted: 05/20/11
The house is great and the owner even better! It is well equipped and roomy (and we have seven kids)! The pictures really don't do justice to the beach views, either. I couldn't believe all the beach toys and movies and games that were in the house, we really lacked for nothing! The rooms are adorable and comfy, the kids had the time of their lives!
Owner response:Thank you for a great review! I love to have children come to visit ( since my grand babies have not yet arrived) and hope when prospective guests read your review they will choose to stay at Tropical Isle for an Island retreat.

This place is wonderful, much better than I had anticipated. Nancy was great to work with and kept me informed about everything needed. The weather was a little on the windy and cooler side so beach time was limited, but was great and with in just a few minutes walk. Thanks Nancy, I will keep you mind for the next trip to Galveston. The Eddys
Owner response:Thank you Brenda and Family. We are looking forward to the summer in Galveston. It is such a relaxed atmosphere. Great places to eat and enjoying time with your family, young tykes, teenagers and parents. Next year I will have to tell you about a great place to visit for night time entertainment that I just learned about myself.

Lovely Weekend

Date of Stay: 03/18/11
Review Submitted: 03/25/11
My group of 11 (8 adults, 3 toddlers) stayed here for a long weekend and had an excellent time. The house is a perfect set up, very close to the beach and within walking distance to a little local store. The home owners provided everything you could think of - from linens to Pyrex dishes, beach chairs, grills, even a little rolling cooler. The house has 3 full baths which is great for a large group. In addition there are small details that make a big difference - full length mirrors outside two bathrooms, so someone can get dressed/put on makeup/blow dry hair while another person is showering. Laundry and dish soap provided. Wireless internet, and x-box, several dvd players (great for the little ones). We loved the two decks that face the beach! Nancy is so nice to work with & always available to help. If we had an issue (which we didn't) I know she would have responded right away. We will definitely be back next year!
Owner response:Thank you Megan, I am not a full time resident of Galveston, but when I cross over the bridge between the mainland and Galveston my worries and concerns are left behind. I love having guests visit our Townhome, meeting them and their families. My mission is to provide a clean and comfortable home away from home so they can experience the same peace I feel when in Galveston. Nancy

Home away from Home

Review Submitted: 01/10/11
Again I want to say this landlords are top notch!!! This Memorial Day 2011 will be our 2nd year at this property and our 4th at the one next door which they also own!! Last year was my daughters 16th Birthday and they decorated the condo in "Sweet 16" themed items and it was a HUGE hit when we opened the door to find that all of her friends LOVED it!!!! They are great people with huge hearts and will go out of their way to make your stay perfect!! The location couldn't be better and the beach is seriously our favorite on the island and we have been coming for years and have been to many.... Enjoyed the market next door bought fresh shrimp for kabobs one night DELICIOUS!!!!! We can't wait til we are back again this year, the condo itself is immaculate and there is no detail left undone! Thanks Bryan and Nancy!
Owner response:Thank you Combs Family. I truly love preparing for guests. Your spring home will be waiting you. For anyone coming to Galveston., google Galveston.com for all the events going on in the future months. Houston also has Space Ctr Houston and Houston has an underground tour of all the tall buildings and their history. Galveston has recovered graciously after Hurricane IKE. Kemah Boardwalk is a great adventure in the Clear Lake area to visit. The Mardi Gras is coming up, plus the Houston Livestock and Rodeo. Or Just a few quiet days at the Beach is very rejuvenating. We all need some special quiet time. Hope to hear from you soon.

Thanksgiving weekend
Guest: Sharon
(Bedford, Tx)
Date of Stay: 11/24/10
Review Submitted: 12/09/10
This place is truly as nice as it is represented if not nicer. We stayed for 4 nights over the Thanksgiving Holiday and had a wonderful, relaxing time. The kitchen was stocked so well with pots, pans etc that we ended up cooking a full Thanksgiving dinner. Everything was clean, well stocked, roomy and comfortable. The owners are wonderful and available if we needed anything. I can't say enough about the place or how much we enjoyed the getaway.
Owner response:Thank you Sharon, I am glad all went well during your visit. I like guests to feel at home and relaxed when they come for a stay. Your care of our Townhouse is very much appreciated and hope to accommodate you and your family in the future. Have a wonderful Christmas with you family and friends.

The Perfect (Late) Summer Getaway
Guest: DMG
(Austin, TX)
Date of Stay: 10/08/10
Review Submitted: 10/13/10
What a perfect weekend! The description and pictures don't do this place justice. Very clean, well furnished, and an amazing view! How great it was to be so close to the beach and even better to have nearly the whole beach to ourselves. The amenities were ideal; we loved the bbq, gas grill and seafood cooker. The "little" market next store to the townhome had everything you could possibly need and is also walking distance. We enjoyed the large corner lot, porch swing and covered patio too. No complaints whatsoever. To top it all off the owners were great. They were extremely accomodating and friendly. We will definetely be back!
Owner response:Thank you DMG for your review. I look forward to your return soon. The beach was wonderful the weekend you visited our Townhome. I really like Fall better than Summer. The cooler weather was a welcome relief. Take care and have a wonderful Holiday season this Winter.

Our Summer Vacation

This was our second year to stay at Tropical Isle and we loved it! Brian and Nancy are the most accomodating and friendly owners we have come across. They make sure we had everything we need for our stay. They really go above and beyond. The house comes complete with anything we need for the beach and even entertainment for the kids inside too. Makes our vacation so easy and enjoyable! The house is just as clean and well maintained as the pictures show and Nancy's attention to detail makes it a home away from home! We have recommended Tropical Isle to many of our friends and we will be sure to come back again next summer!
