The resort was beautiful and had so many activities and amenities for all ages. We loved the location and being right on the beach—it made it so convenient to enjoy the ocean and everything the resort had to offer. The accommodations were nice and comfortable, and we especially appreciated that each child had their own bed. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and made some great family memories!

My family & I enjoyed our stay. Condo was spacious & loved that there was a dining table for meal times. Balcony had an awesome view of the beach & property grounds. Kids loved the pool & lazy river. Easy access to beach was a plus. Will definitely plan to visit again. Thank you!

Great stay! The building was perfect for our 3 young kids. The condo itself was just as perfect. 3 beds (1 of which had bunkbeds), 2 baths and a good kitchen! We loved it and will be going back. The hosts could not have been any nicer or more accommodating

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We’re thrilled the condo layout and bunk bed setup worked out so well for your three young kids. Knowing that you felt well cared for during your stay means the world to us. We would love to host your family again on your next trip!

Terrific view and location with walking path access to the beach. Wonderful pool, lazy river, fitness center, and other amenities. The condo had everything we needed, and we especially loved the outdoor patio with comfy furniture. Amazing coffeehouse within a short walk. We would stay here again in a heartbeat. Loved our time in Galveston, and this spot was perfect.
