Nice condo

The condo itself was nice, clean, and great location. The building was under construction, a few pools and hot tub didn’t have water because they were cleaning it, so it was not the best first impression. But once we realized there was a heated pool available and everything else was perfect for us, we were extremely happy. We will stay again.

Terrible Experience!!!

We arrived to a place without blankets/comforters. We only had paper-thin white sheets for the 1st night. Neither tv worked, there was black MOLD all over the bathroom vent, urine stains on the pullout mattress, dog fur on couch and couch pillows, and many other issues that I have pictures of. The 2nd day the air conditioning went out and it got to 84 degrees in the place. Donna was so unprofessional and she didn't like hearing there were issues and basically blamed me for complaining. She hung up on me after yelling at me and not letting me get a word in and when I called back she sent me to her full inbox. Then she said she would only text message. She canceled the air conditioning technician that was supposed to come out and she basically told us to leave at 6:15 pm. Unfortunately we couldn't leave because we didn't have a car, lots of luggage, food being delivered, and our transportation to the cruise port was already set up for the morning. The place is small and could use an update and a really good deep clean. It is nicely located across from the beach, but it isn't located near much. The pier is within walking distance, but you have to pay to walk on it. We only found one restaurant while we walked the area and that was at the pier. Otherwise there are very few things to do within walking distance.

Cheer Competition

We went to Galveston for a cheer competition and decided to stay a few extra days…and I’m so glad we did. The condo was so cute and just enough space for our family of 3. The kitchen had a great view of the ocean, which made cooking so much nicer. I had one small hiccup, there was only one pan and a small sauce pot. The owner responded quickly and offered to bring more over, which I appreciated. I told her it wasn’t necessary. My husband ran to Wal-Mart, which was down the street to grab some. The condo was clean and quiet. Great location to stores, restaurants, seawall, and other nearby beaches. We would definitely stay here again.

Property as described, great location! Wonderful pools to enjoy on site. Steps to the beach and was able to Uber everywhere we wanted to be, including East Beach and the Strand. Would come back to this location without reservation and would recommend. Communication was impeccable as well. Thank you for the hospitality!

Birthday getaway!

I booked this property as a get out of Houston weekend and enjoy some beach time for my husband's birthday. We had the best time! The property is everything noted, the pools are beautiful and the condo extra comfortable and loved. Loved all the amenities. We had our little dog with us, it was easy and fun going up and down the stairs. Other people were outside doing the same with their pets, felt very secure no matter what time of the day or night we were out. The pet relief areas were great and convenient. Will definitely be back!!

Nice weekend

The condo was nice, clean, and furnished with everything we needed. We appreciated that we could bring our mini Aussie, as she is basically our child and hard to leave behind. Wonderful pools here, as well. Don’t let the outside construction of the building keep you away. Everything inside the condo was great, and we had no issues.😃

Nice beach view!

The unit was pretty clean. Had a issue with the sliding glass doors to shower, wouldn't slide open but Donna was quick to send someone to fix it. The Bed is comfortable. The view from the balcony was beautiful. Loved the mornings!. Kitchen is somewhat supplied. Maybe get some new skillets. Overall great stay would stay again.

Great Galveston Gateway

Beautiful well maintained Condo that was perfect for our family of 3. Great communication with the property owner/manager. Located within walking distance to the Beach and as a bonus has a nice pool located on the property. We would recommend and we plan to look into other properties that this owner has for future vacations.

As long as you expect to get what you pay for, then this property is great. There are not a lot of bells and whistle‘s, but it was a safe place for my family to stay, and a close walk across the street to the beach.
