We had a great weekend - quick and easy access to the beautiful beach & fun at the pool. Future guests should know there are no beach towels in the unit, so pack your own, and if you want paper towels for the kitchen, be sure to bring them as well.

Good property for the price point. You can see the Gulf, but it is at an angle looking over an RV park. Overall, the property was clean and access to the beach was easy and as advertised. The master bedroom is near the door so a lot of light from the hallway outside comes in, even with the blinds closed, but that is a fairly minor inconvenience. You do have to check in when you get there so need to plan for that as it is a fairly short window. All in all, if you are looking for an economical place near the beach, I recommend.

Great rental minus the bed!

Great view, easy access to the beach and all around nice place. Only problem was we had to go buy a mattress topper from Walmart because the king size bed is hard as a rock.

Refurbishing the beach

Everything was as advertised except the weather. We had a wonderful time. The only thing that was a bother was that the beach was being refurbished while we were there. Would have been nice to have gotten a heads up about that before we got there.

BEWARE!! I was booked to go in July however 2 weeks after booking I was advised by family that lives close by that Tropical Storm Bertha was scheduled to hit during my stay. I reached out via vrbo to the general manager to find out what my options were as far as refund or reschedule. I was told that the storm would not be going to Galveston and even if it did there would be no refund. I contacted vrbo who said they reached out to the host however they had to leave a message. The next day I contacted vrbo again and they said they still had not heard from host. I advised vrbo that a partial refund or even a credit would be appreciated. I didnt feel comfortable driving 9 hours into a tropical storm just to stay inside and watch it rain. VRBO called me on Monday night to tell me host would not agree to anything, no refund or credit. On the day I was supposed to check in the manager of the property called wanting to know my arrival time! I explained to her that I canceled with VRBO and that VRBO stated they spoke to the host to find out about a regund or credit. The property manager said she was the host and did not speak to VRBO. She also said they would not do any refund or credit for bad weather. I again explained I would be driving 9 hours. She didnt care. I understand that is their prerogative however it is poor customer service and shows complete lack of sympathy to my situation. I have family in that area and they will never refer anyone else to that location again.

It was a good clean property. I was a little annoyed with the check in process. The instructions stated that you couldn’t check in before 4pm. The office closes at 5 pm.

I thought this condo was great for my daughter and me. I'm glad I read reviews because it's true that the bed was the hardest bed I've felt in my life...but I was prepared and brought my gel foam pad! I love everything about seascape. Fyi this unit has a traditional coffee maker, not a keurig, and I had to provide papertowels. Other than that, great spot! Some reviewers complained about the view of the RV park, but I've camped there many times and it's very nice so I didn't mind. You can see the ocean from every unit.. Balcony has morning shade, great for coffee.

Worst Unit in Seascapes

Everything about this unit was uncomfortable. Do you want your AC governed? You do not have control of your AC. 76 degrees was not okay. I made a complaint and it came down. We woke up and yep up to 76 degrees again. Nothing starts your day off like sweating when you wake up. Master bed is hard as a rock. We were forced to buy a bed topper. The owner is aware of the bed and has done nothing to remedy. Sofa bed is gross! It is filthy and once again you could not sleep on. Chairs on balcony were at the wrong height. You had to either stand up to look over or scrunch down in your seat to see the ocean or RV's. Bathroom did not have any counter space. This is our 4th year coming to Seascapes and this unit we will never book again. You pay big bucks to be uncomfortable.

Property is very family friendly

The property was very family friendly and the beach access is so nice with little children. The pool area is always clean and everyone did well with social distancing. The bed in the unit was VERY firm and made sleeping uncomfortable. Overall a enjoyable weekend and we will be back to spend time as a family!

Mini weekend getaway!

We chose this area location based on a friend’s recommendation using VRBO during her stay recently. I’ve never used VRBO and decided to take a gander at the website. Honestly, we were in a rush to get a place booked due to timing and budget. It just wasn’t up to par far as our standards regarding staying anywhere overnight or just being away from your home. You want your stay to be better than your home or at least close to it. My condo seemed cramped and very old. Far as cleanliness it was enough to stay but not immaculate. Kitchen stove was not cleaned to where I didn’t recognize someone had cooked prior to me staying there. I decided not to cook at all due to the fact, the stove wasn’t clean to be spotless. Microwave was old, so even if it was cleaned it appeared not to be. The pull out sleeper couch was dirty, I’m assuming from wear and not being cleaned or upgraded from usage. My son decided not to sleep using the mattress, he just grabbed a blanket and slept on the blanket using it as a cover up for the sleeper. Bunk beds were too small for my kids body frame. They’re pretty tall and long, so each night they had to figure out which bunk bed appeared to be a better fit for their body frame. Bathroom was clean, but very small in size. Just old and not updated with equipment provided to utilize for each use far as towels and racks to hang swimsuits. The porch overseeing the balcony was an eye soar due to there was an RV park next to the condo. So, instead viewing the ocean I could only view people parking their RV while putting up their political flags and so forth. Truly not what I wanted to view upon my stay. If I knew there was an RV park near or around this condo I would’ve never chosen this property. I wanted to be on a private beach where I could enjoy the weekend from the craziness of everyday busyness. It wasn’t the getaway I wanted for me and my family, but we made the best of it and decide we’ll take our time along with more research to book a place more suitable to our liking.

Perfect beach condo for a family of 4

This condo was great. Beautifully decorated so you feel that you truly are living at the beach. There is direct access to the beach from the condo complex. The beach is private and was not crowded (we were there in May 2020). The condo was clean and well stocked with the things you need. Our young children loved the little bunk beds. The condo is the right size for a family of 4! No complaints - an FYI would be the master bedroom bed is very hard so if you are driving down and have back problems you may want to take a topper with you! We would definitely stay here again.

Perfect small condo for playing on the beach!!

Location is perfect, no crossing traffic to get to water. Shower available to rinse sand. Pool was very family friendly. Condo was clean and perfect size for a place to recharge after a busy day. The condo management has beach toys and umbrellas, boggie boards and chairs available. Even though the complex was full it was quiet and relaxing!! Can't wait to visit again!!

perfect beach location

The condo is well taken care of with plenty of kitchen supplies. The location is perfect. The beach is right out your front door. The pool is well maintained. I would recommend the place for a family of 4. The sleeper sofa needs to be replaced for sleeping. I would highly recommend this condo.
