  Three folks from different parts of the country wanted to spend Thanksgiving together. This was a wonderful place to do that...playing cards as we enjoyed your great view of the beach...Roseate Spoonbill on the pond just across the parking lot for my bird-watching hubby to enjoy...all of the great seafood we could eat. Life doesn't get any better than that! And when you get tired of shrimp, (as if that could happen) try Queens for the best Texas barbeque. Dave was extremely helpful and sent us detailed directions, along with several helpful suggestions about the area.

  Had a girl's weekend with 2 other ladies - The rental was clean and well-stocked with towels, etc - We very much enjoyed the balcony and view - Pleasantly surprised that the kitchen was adequately stocked with everything needed to pull together quick meals as this is not always the case in rentals!

  Our group really enjoyed staying at this condo. It was beautifully maintained, had a great patio view of the ocean and was a short cab ride away from all of the events we had to attend while in town. You will not be disappointed by renting this unit!

  My husband and I stay at this condo for 4days. The condo has excellent decor and kitchen has everything you need to make your stay enjoyable. The view and location is great. Its located across from seawall which we walk to the movies and putt-put golf, Jimmy pier and restrarant. 5 minutes down the road to the west is a great beach access point number 9 and number 10 to drive on beach and walk without alot of people around. You have to try a place the eat that serves hot seafood called Shrimp and Stuff on street 39 and O. It has great food for great prices and good atmosphere. The owner is great and has other condo that is awesome.

• So Relaxing

  After arriving we lounged in the beautiful pool ( one of three) with the toddler and baby) then it was up to the beautiful condo to start our stay. Gorgeous ocean views and great seafood awaited us. The condo was so clean the baby could crawl on the floor with no concerns, and the toddler loved the little chair just for him out on on deck. So how can I say relaxing with little children around? Because this condo is meant for both adult and children and all are able to find something that will mean vacation to them. Whether that means beaches down the road, shopping on the Strand, submarine and destroyer museums, Moody gardens and my personal favorite the Bodies Revealed exhibit, to simply laying around the condo! We hope to visit THIS condo again!

  We arrived at this property on a Friday afternoon and were somewhat daunted at first by the initial appearance of the overall complex as there was a good deal of construction and renovation going on. However, there was no problem with parking, once we checked in and got our parking passes, and upon arrival at our unit - the OceanLoversVIEW (2 bedroom), we were very pleased. The condominium appeared as if it had been just cleaned. Everything was in order and looking great. The appliances appear new, the kitchen and living area were immaculate, the beds were made with fresh linens and we settled right in without a problem. The view from the window and balcony was wonderful, and I spent many an hour sitting out there enjoying the view of the Gulf. When you go on a trip like this you hope not to be distracted by problems with the rental property so you can enjoy the stay. This place was great. We would recommend staying at OceanLoversVIEW to anyone who asks, and we hope to stay here again in the future.

  My family and I loved this condo. It was a great place to hang at the pool and unwind after a busy day. It sleeps 5 adults and 2 small kids comfortably. We loved the kitchen and balcony area. Dave was great to work with. He was quick to get back to you, fairly priced and detailed with his instructions. We had a great experience in Galveston! Thanks Dave to you and your wife!!!

  Dave, Hi, thank you! Your place was wonderful. Very relaxing, clean, and very quiet. My family loved it. The property was amazing.The pools were refreshing and very spacious. Although they had construction going on we never had issues and most of all never heard a sound. Very pleasant. We have enjoyed the beaches very much. Shopping was great; the seawall was wonderful; and the weather was warm but awesome. Things we did with the children ages 11,16,16,16; we visited Schlitterban Waterpark, went to the GREATEST Cafe' " Rainforest Cafe' " Absolutely amazing. We took a day and rode a few minutes down the road and visited The NASA Space Center in Houston, which the whole family enjoyed very much. Then off to the Kemah BoardWalk all with in a couple of miles from each other. I can say this, we will certainly be back. This was one of the most wonderful getaways we have had. So thank you so much for opening your vacation home to my family and I. Thank you, Shirley S & Family
