Lofland/Nelson Vacation 2023
The overall floorplan for our condo was amazing! We have stayed in other condos in the area before and this was the best condo by far we have stayed in. The kitchen area was open to the rest of the living area and the cook was not left out of the family activities. Our balcony overlooked the lazy river pool area which was nice. My grandkids (5 and twin 3 yr olds) loved the bunkbeds in their room. The shower in the master bathroom was great (nice and big)! All three grandkids could shower at once after at trip to the beach. The only thing that would have made our stay nicer would have been cooling off the water at the lazy river. The water was 102 degrees at 9 PM!

VERY nice Condo.
Starfish is by far the best VRBO that I have stayed at. Decor is wonderful...relaxing. Condo exceptionally clean. The kitchen was incredible. Very well stocked for a VRBO. Cookware was in great shape...TONS of dishes and glasses...all kinds of small appliances. All in all it was a wonderful stay...and this is the only negative that I can come up with too. I only wish that we had, had a heads up about the Mosquitos out there. They were vicious, and HUGE. =0) If we had a heads up we could have taken our bug spray with us. But that was a minor issue. We LOVE It.

The Starfish was a great place for family fun, plenty of space to gather. So many amenities, kitchen was loaded with plenty of necessities but also many extras. We used the rice cooker, crock pot and ice cream maker just to name a few. Would definitely return!

Great location bad cleaning
We enjoyed our time at this property but could not get over how dirty it was. 1) there was dust on every open shelf in the property 2) there was white dog hair everywhere (we do not have a dog) 3) the couches were not cleaned/vacuumed - crumbs everywhere and the carpet needs some serious help. There were nails sticking out in the carpet by the master to the point I had to put a towel down, nasty stains (probably pet urine) etc. I would stay in this complex but probably not this same unit again.

Galveston family trip
Just as listed. We had a great time here. Condo is very roomy, very comforting, had all the amenities we needed to cook each day. Perfect location to be next to the lazy river pool. Close drive to the beach club if you want to be over there. A/C worked great. Literally the only compliant I had was the guest queen bed. It was terrible but I called the owners and they assured us it was being replaced. Other beds were great. Would definitely stay here again.

Not clean, tiny bugs crawling on us!
After the first night of having tiny bugs crawling on us in the master bedroom, we moved to sleep in the bunkbed room the remaining nights (9 night stay) and never had bug issue. Upon straitening up and gathering our items to pack, we discovered the cause of the bug issue. Under the master bed, as well as behind the nightstand we found open Coke and beer cans....hosting hundreds of tiny bugs. We notified the owner(s) and they seemed genially concerned and upset as this is the duties of the contracted cleaning crew to take care of. They offered a refund of the "cleaning fee".

Great location, terrible cleaning service
The place was nicely decorated and fully stocked with the cooking essentials. Unfortunately the place was not thoroughly cleaned upon careful inspection. There were clothes left in the dryer and food left in the fridge. The dishwasher was not emptied and the floors were dirty. My kids found an empty Capri sun pouch on the side of the bunk bed and a gum squished in the cushion of the couch. There was a mysterious stain the small pillow on the couch. The master bathroom looked like it wasn't cleaned at all. We rent units at Pointe West regularly and have enjoyed them all and haven't had any issues with the cleanliness of the units. This is my first bad review that I've written.
