This condo was perfect for our little getaway to Galveston with my daughter and her friend. The girls loved the pool and I loved that the property was conveniently located. Everything we wanted to do was no more than a short 10 minute drive.Check in was a breeze, as Larry provided detailed instructions prior to our arrival. The condo was clean and we loved the beach/ocean view.
We had a wonderful time and loved all of the water options! There is a cold pool, a heated pool, and two hot tubs. Plus, the gulf is right across the street! The only negatives were that there are a lot of stairs in the unit and the bathroom is on the upper floor. My kids annoyed the neighbors below us with their running up and down the stairs.
We had an amazing time and wished we would have started our vacation sooner to spend more time at this location. We are hoping to get back again next summer.
Great condo getaway! Very clean and comforatbale unit. Good views of the ocean and pool area from the balcony. Staff is friendly and maintain the common areas very well. Convenient location to everything on the island.
The condo was perfect. Kids loved the pool. Adults loved the fact it was close to town and just a walk to the beach. Would definitely recommend for someone else to stay. Checkout was also awesome.
We enjoyed our stay very much, loved the view from the balcony and the master bedroom. Communication with the owner was great! Super easy check in and check out. Will definitely stay again.
We really enjoyed our long weekend in Galveston. This condominium complex is beyond beautiful. The resort style pool was so amazing & the beach was right across the street. I will definitely stay here again
