This is one of the most beautiful places to stay on Galveston Island! We've been going to the island for the past 15 years and have rented all over, from the very West tip to the East end. The views from this 25th floor, high-end condominium are outstanding, whether you're on one of the three balconies or just sitting inside. It is very luxurious and expertly decorated, while still being very comfortable.. The living room and bedrooms are very large, nice and plush, the kitchen is a little small but very well equipped... If you are on vacation you shouldn't be cooking a lot anyway!! I would call it a "Four Seasons" or "Qwesty" destination on steroids!! The location is excellent, very close to town with all the restaurants and the Strand, but isolated just far enough to give you a less crowded, semi-private beach experience. The grounds and gated resort complex are immaculate, including the exercise facility, game rooms and common areas. The inclusion of "the extras" - beach towels, chairs, toys, Magaritaville machine, local books, wifi, games, ect, make for a lot less packing and plenty for any wet or 'too tired" days you might have. The owners, John and Shari, are caring and great to work with! I never write reviews, so hope I didn't bore anyone, but since we just rebooked again for 2 weeks from now, I thought it was worth my 2 cent opinion...
