Very Nice Location, Very Nice People
VERY good communication from owners. Complete instructions and all the codes worked, which is rare. Property is in great condition, and is exactly as described/pictured. Unit itself is in great condition and is obviously maintained with care. We enjoyed our stay very much, and plan to return.

6 Great das at Galveston Island
We had a very nice stay in Galveston. Our apartment was superb. Check-in was perfectly prepared. We received our access codes in advance, well-described and on time. The apartment matched exactly the pictures and description. We had fresh towels, the beds were made, and the apartment was very clean. Dish soap and dishwasher tabs were provided. We enjoyed the pools and the gym. The location of the apartment is right by the beach and invites for spontaneous walks. We were highly satisfied, and all in all, the apartment is worth a 5-star rating.

Beach was directly across the street… use crosswalk! Far enough from pier to be quiet at night. Close enough to everything to get there quick and have fun. Watch the sunset from the balcony. Not a fan of the shower.
