Thank you for the review and for the perfect scores! I am glad you enjoyed one of the most unique places in Galveston, with amazing amenities such as the lazy river and heated indoor pool. We put in a lot of time to keep the property updated, and I am glad we were able to share it with your group. I am also glad to hear you appreciated the communication. I want to take as much stress out of vacation planning from my guests as possible, as vacations are meant to be stress-free.

Our stay was over Memorial Day weekend. The penthouse was beautiful and well appointed. We stayed off the beach because it was overwhelmed with seaweed. No big deal because the pool and lazy River were wonderful. The only other amenity we took part in was the game room and it was a blast! We use VRBO a lot and I must say, Aaron’s communication and availability to resolve issues was best seen to date. We would definitely stay here again.
