Hi Pete, thank you so much for your review! We're happy to hear you enjoyed the place and loved how close it is to the beach. We'd love to have you back anytime!
When we checked in, we were informed that the elevators were not working, which is a huge issue for my husband. Front desk personnel was not very helpful and the security guard wasn't either.

The view from the room is awesome the only problem is it takes 2 men and a boy to get the screen door open and every time you flush the toilet it runs for 2 hours the place has not been updated since it was built back in the 80s and not touch the shower curtain because it’s ready to fall and hit you in the head and the wall paper in the bathroom is falling off the wall it’s completely a rent it out and get that money but don’t fix a dam thing in it unless you have to
We had an amazing time! The ocean view was absolutely stunning, and the location couldn’t have been better—close to everything we needed. It was the perfect spot for our family of four. Highly recommend!

It’s great to know the space was perfect for your family—we truly appreciate the recommendation and hope to welcome you back again soon!
The location was amazing as it was just as short walk to the seawall and beach. The price was very reasonable also. I appreciated the gated community aspect thus it felt very safe.

This spot had a great location near pleasure pier, schlitterbahn, etc. The condo complex and pool were nice. The condo itself was great for what we needed but the patio door was very hard to open and the unit was a bit outdated but not a reason to not book.

Great location, condo inter. On small side. Balcony door off slidets so could not open. Sofa bed unsleepable due to 25 degree slant. Near many good places to
To eat and play. Will consider staying again.

Unfortunately, my stay at this location was not good at all! I have stayed at the Victorian before and enjoyed every minute but not this time. From the time I walked in there was issues. The toilet was running and stained needs to be replaced. Sink faucet is old and corroded and the shower head is old.The shower is stained and outdated. The ceiling looks molded in the bathroom and the shower curtain was definitely molded and needed replacing! There furniture is old and stained needs to be replaced. Even the sheets were stained and the pillow shams were torn! This condo needs a good cleaning and needs to be upgraded! Vrbo made sure I was relocated very promptly and made sure my stay was an enjoyable trip!!!!
Not as described. Sliding door to patio broken, took two people to pry open. Owner knew and did not disclose prior to reservation. Nickle and dimed me to death! I could have stayed at a nice hotel for what I paid here after all the “hidden fees”. Will never go back or do business with these people again.

Do NOT recommend staying here.
We reserved this condo prior to Hurricane Beryl. I accidentally missed adding the travel insurance but intended to do so. The host did not answer my question when I asked if a refund was possible, but instead offered me a 20% discount to come even if the power was not restored at the time of our stay. This is during a declaration of a federal disaster.
This property is extremely outdated and needs repairs. The bathtub faucet shoots water out the front because it is cracked, there is mold on the front door as well as multiple vents inside the property, and the shower wall has mold or a soft spot, I didn’t touch it so I am not sure what. I would include photos of these things but am unsure how to do so. The patio door also barely opens so you cannot properly enjoy the balcony.
The bedroom has a full size bed and is so small you can barely walk all the way around it. If you are not a small person this property is not a good fit for you.
Overall, not impressed.

Nice stay for the price
The location of the property was optimal, with easy access to the beach, nice views, and only a short distance from restaurants.
The check in instructions could have more clear. It was not indicated that a visit into the lobby was necessary.
The property is visibly a little older/outdated,which did not translate in the listing; however, outside of a few hairs in the shower, the unit was clean. The sliding door to the balcony was broken and very difficult to open and close and there was a broken chair on the balcony, but we visited only a couple weeks after Hurricane Beryl, so we chalked it up to that.
Communication for this booking was lacking, but again, I believe this could be due the aftermath of the hurricane. I received a notification that my stay could not be accomodated due to hurricane; however, I didn't receive that notification until I was on my way to the condo. I left messages on the VRBO site, and called and left a couple voicemails before I received an email to indicate the phone line was having an issue and provided an alternate phone number to call. Upon calling that number, I was told that my unit was indeed available for my stay... So at the end of the day it worked out.
Overall, our stay was nice. The unit could use some repairs/ updates, but we were really only there to sleep so it served it's purpose for the price.

Doesn't live up to its potential
Keeping in mind hurricane Beryl had just passed through Galveston, the property needs updating. The one working elevator (only worked for 1 day of our stay) was awash with water - literally. When the elevator reached ground level, the open maintenance area under the car floor was tull of water, which entered the elevator car, causing you to stand in a pond of water. At least pump the water out. Our condo desperately needed updating. The tub spout was cracked and broken, mold on the bathroom vent, the ac maintenance access cover was bent leaving a gap in the ceiling, the bottom bunk was like sleeping in a hammock with my head and feet higher than my torso, the balcony door had to be lifted to get it to open, it wouldn't slide. The chairs on the balcony were broken and not what is shown in the picture. The balcony curtains are stained at the bottom, water stains on the ceiling, entire condo needs a fresh coat of paint.
It has great potential and could be a really cute place, just needs some TLC.
I did inform the rental agent of the problems who said they would get it taken care of.
I would not stay there again until it's updated.
