Condo was beautiful, everything we needed was onsite. Shout out to James for replacing our door handle that broke, he was there and had it replaced in under an hour. Balcony furniture was new and very nice, plenty of space for everyone to relax and enjou the weekend.
We originally booked this condo as a vacation for our Mom. Unfortunately, an accident happened 2 days before our arrival and we couldn't go. James was very sympathetic to our situation and allowed 2 close friends to stay in the unit and it was their anniversary/ They had a great weekend!
Great condo, very clean, nice views. Ww wished it was a bit closer to "town" where all of the restaurants, attractions are. Pool was closed but hot tub was open.
Overall, great visit.
The condo was adorable, and the sunsets were great. We were a little further from the lazy river pool than I realized, so we had to drive, but it did not deter our fun. We enjoyed our stay!
Thank you to James Oliver for checking on us!
We enjoyed our vacation to Galveston. We would have given 5 stars for cleanliness but there were dead flies and what looked like wasp in the home when we arrived. But we did enjoy the beach!

I am so glad that you enjoyed your vacation. We cleaned the unit earlier in the week. Apparently our cleaners did such a good job that a few flies had nothing to eat and starved to death. I did a once-over before you arrived, but apparently missed them. I do apologize. Thank you so much for staying with us.
James was the absolute best in helping us with our stay. The condo was just perfect! Great location, roomy living space so that no one felt on top of each other. Accepts pets and even had food and water bowls for them.
Will definitely be back!
Beautiful clean condo with stunning views. Spectacular sunsets. Had everything needed for our family, including a pack and play for our baby. Highly recommend renting a golf cart and taking evening golf cart rides. The golf cart also made things super easy traveling back and forth to the pools. 10/10 recommend!!!
James is an example ALL property managers should follow. Very helpful and very good communication. The condo is clean and comfortable with plenty of room for the entire family. This was our second visit to this condo and will return.
Everything was as presented! Enjoyed our quick stay before school starts. Condo had plenty of room for our group of 6. Weather for beach was perfect and pools were great for relaxing. Renting a golf cart was a must for easy transport to and from the pool and to get to the beach access. Wanted to grill out but mosquitoes were out of control at that time, so come prepared! Only thing we would have appreciated was curtains to contain early morning sun light and a fan on the porch. Otherwise everything was good!
This is a very nice, clean and updated condo. The layout was perfect for our group (1 couple + 1 couple w 2 kids) because there is a master bedroom/bath on one side of the house and 2 rooms/bathrooms are on the other side. Kitchen is right in the middle and was very well stocked. There was also a small sitting area w a fold out bed available. Main living area is spacious with large couch and both outdoor balconies have a nice view.
Our property manager was extremely communicative and responsive from day one. All instructions were clear and helpful. And the Beach Club (separate entity) was a must. There are 2 different pools and other amenities
The ONLY reason I gave 4 stars on "Accuracy of Online Listing" is because while it mentions there is a bay view and "short drive" to beach, you need to know this unit it one of the furthest from the beach access point and it is across the street from the beach as well. But they are correct that is is a short drive. I just think it might be nice to clarify even more, if possible. But this is very minor and we recommend this property and company 100%.
This property was the perfect set up for our family’s weeklong stay. It was clean and comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked. The sunsets off the balcony were beautiful. The pool and beach access was a quick drive and easy parking. The furniture was all comfy. James was attentive to all our questions and check in and check out was super easy. Our only complaint was the elevator was unreliable. We would stay here again.
We could not have asked for a more wonderful stay. The Hospitality, Beach Club, Beach, Rental, sunrises, sunsets were all amazing. We left feeling very Blessed and ate looking forward to our next visit.
