Everything was great! I wish we could have stayed longer.The pools were very nice and well maintained. It was very nice to have beach chairs and towels to use.
Great condo on the beach. Beautiful property that is very well maintained. Condo is super clean and spacious. Has everything you need for your stay. Owners were great and responsive.
I would stay here again! Clean, safe and the pools were AMAZING! Host are responsive and nice! 4 things I recommend : —Updated patio furniture, need cushions too —allow the thermostat to go below 68,( even 67 or 66 would have been most helpful!) it gets warm in there and hot while sleeping with the humidity. — take the plastic cover off mattress, its loud with every movement, uncomfortable and hot. —shorter access code to enter the room, yes you can change it yourself to a shorter one but even my tech savvy daughter couldnt figure it out.
We enjoyed our stay! Property was clean and stocked with amenities listed. Conveniently located across from the beach. Pools in the community were great! We enjoyed the beach view from the balcony.
The hosts themselves were awesome and have made a great place to stay in Galveston. The condo staff was not the most polite or helpful and check in. One of the two hot tubs was not functional. The property and the room were great and close to the beach. Unfortunately a lot of the kitchen supplies (pans, spatulas, etc) were dirty with old food on them so every time we cooked I had to do a lot of pre cleaning. There were 2-3 emails from the check in hosts with different info and I wish it was consolidated into 1 so I didn’t have to keep searching through them when I need info.
A 3 star review is disappointing when the guests were only there less than 34 hours. The only thing we heard from guests was the shower smelled like dirty socks. We offered to come reclean but guest had to "think about it" and we never heard back.
Nice spacious condo, easy walk over to the beach, close to everything but not in the bad traffic section of seawall. Wonderful owners & guy in office at condos super nice & helpful. Enjoyed the lovely pool. If needed anything very easy walk over to Walmart. Just a great stay.

Clean, well appointed condo with an excellent view of the ocean and only steps away from the beach. Communication was excellent. Would stay there again!
