The condo was beautiful and comfortable. We had everything we needed. The location was perfect, there are no roads between you and the ocean. We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back.
We had a few little issues but they were right to answering my call & getting the issues handled quickly! Overall we would stay here again! We enjoyed it

Charlie,
Thank you so much for the kind review! We're glad to hear you enjoyed your stay and that our team was able to assist you promptly. We appreciate your understanding and would love to host you again in the future!
We had a wonderful time at this property. The room was cute and our 4 year old loved the bunks. The property is great, the pool area was well maintained and the beach access cannot be beat.
Our vacation was great , until A/C went out, and security would not let the A/C man in to fix the AC, at night, then A/C man had to get approval from the property manager to get the AC fix , so we had one night with no A/C but other than that our vacation was great.

Dear Tense,
Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed your vacation overall and apologize for the inconvenience with the A/C. Please know we tried to get someone out as quickly as possible, but access approval delayed the repair. We’ll work with property management to improve this process for future guests.
Everything was clean and the condo was exactly like the listing. It was just the right size for me, my husband and my daughter. Plan on staying again in the future!
It’s just me and my kids and we go every year. It’s right on the beach, close to everything, clean and affordable. My kids and I love it! I can’t recommend it enough
Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts! We're glad to hear that you found our condo suitable for your small family and that you enjoyed the facilities. If there's anything specific you think we could improve upon to make your next stay even better, please feel free to let us know. We hope to have the pleasure of hosting you again in the future!
The unit itself was relatively clean, but the balcony was filthy. The toaster didn't work.We weren't told about needing our own beach towels.

Dear Louise,
Thank you for your feedback. We apologize for the condition of the balcony and the toaster issue. We appreciate you bringing these to our attention so we can address them. We’ll also work on improving communication about beach towels for future guests.
1 minute walk to beach was amazing, then afterwards being able to rinse off and jump in pool and hot tub was awesome too. Condo was nice as well and the view from balcony spectacular! 10/10. Bed was really really really firm. Other than that awesome place.

Thank you for your feedback we greatly appreciate it.
Great owner, great location. The only advice I have is bring extra towels. not just beach but for bath too. No laundry in condo and you may need more bath towels.
great place - great price

Thanks for the 5-star review, Robert! We would love to host you again!
The condo was great, the only thing that wasn't great was the cleaning service they used, we had to clean it ourselves on arrival. Apart from that, we will definitely book it again
The decor and style is very attractive. Has lots of little amenities. A bit short on kitchen supplies and towels. I would rate this a condo for two people. we had two adults and two kids and we were very very snug, Great location.

Thanks for your review, Marcia. We hope that you come back to Galveston soon!
We loved being so close to the beach and not having to either cross a busy street or drive and find parking. The only downside was the right quarters and the fact that there was a keurig instead of the listed regular coffee pot. If I ha know I would have brought my kcups
We enjoyed our stay very much — only issues are the back door didn’t close properly and the bathroom sink did not drain. We enjoyed the view & will definitely consider staying again! Thank you.

Concerned about damage that was there on arrival. Paint chips, electric outlet in bedroom broken, floor in kitchen had chip out. Found cigarette pkg in kids toy bucket with partial smoked cigarettes. Access to beach was awesome. Overall a good stay.

Thanks so much for your 5-star review, Deb. We appreciate your comments and have notified housekeeping about the issues. We're glad that you had a nice Galveston vacation!
Small but well appointed condo. Could use a little TLC, but all in all a great little place to rest and relax for a few days with my mom. Having the elevator was a huge bonus, and the walk-in shower was also a plus, since mom has some mobility issues. Only complaint was that the family in the unit above us didn't seem capable of walking around without dragging furniture and stomping like elephants. But I guess it's to be expected in this kind of setting.
