Fantastic location and well appointed condo

The property is nice but the condo is immaculately kept and supplied. From a rolling cooler to beach chairs and toys, to wonderful patio chairs. Enjoyed the stay and had instant communication with the owners!

Perfect View & excellent layout

Best friends and their children stayed in this unit for a long weekend. This unit is laid out so nicely we never felt like we were in each others space even with 5 of us all together. The view from the balcony is just perfect, and the condo is so close to the elevator was so easy to come and go. They had everything you could want and more. We will definitely be back to this unit!

A Really Nice Place

We came to stay at Babe’s Bungalow the night before a cruise out of the port. It was a perfect location for us as it was a beachfront condo with covered parking and all the amenities we needed. We had 4 adults and slept comfortably on the bed and the pull out sofa. There were also bunk beds we did not use. The kitchen was nicely equipped for our one night stay. The bathroom and shower were nice as well. We spent most of our time out on the balcony enjoying the view of the Gulf. All in all, a pleasant night before our cruise.

Family of six

The condo is clean and cozy. We loved the location and found it convenient. Parking by the elevator was easy. The condo building itself is older and the elevator did not have AC. Our stay was in the hottest part of July so we noticed this. The AC inside the condo was great though! This condo is a good value.

View and location to/of beach excellent. It sleeps 6 but the extra beds not so comfortable. Oven is toaster but everything else was conveniently provided. During our stay, plumbers were called because of lower floor leak, even they were very polite. The unit is well maintenanced!

Perfect

We have stayed in many different places in Galveston over the years and this is our favorite. First the location is perfect, not only is the beach right across the street, but the condo is far enough down the seawall to avoid the majority of the crowds and close enough to get what you need. The room was well situated with a view of the beach and the facilities were really nice also. We will be back.
