We had a great stay at this condo in Galveston. The location was excellent—very convenient to the beach, restaurants, and everything we wanted to do while in town.The condo was clean, well kept, and exactly as described. Everything was ready when we arrived, and the space was comfortable for our stay. The kitchen was stocked well enough for basic meals, and there were plenty of towels and essentials.Communication was smooth and easy throughout the process, which made everything simple from check-in to check-out.Overall, it was a great experience and we would definitely stay here again.Justin

Great Time with a great location

Came to Galveston for a soccer beach tournament. We like to travel with our dog and it was a long search finding a place that welcomed him. This was the place! Not only was it really nice but it was a great location. We were able to walk to a lot of the nearby places. Would definitely recommend to others and look forward to booking it again in the future.

Clean accommodations and great location. We had a wonderful time staying here. Could use a few more kitchen cooking/serving items, and one of the beds could be just a bit more comfy- but that's just my opinion and others may feel differently. The soaps and other staple items that were in the kitchen and bathroom were a lifesaver when we first arrived, since we weren't able to make it to the stores before they closed the first night there. Overall we had no problems and would definitely recommend others to stay here. It is quiet for being so near the seawall, and is beautiful inside and out. The wrap around porch was probably our favorite part of this place, and we spent a lot of time chilling on the outdoor furniture wishing that we lived there. The addition of a small grill outside would be great!

Randi, thank you for staying with Rest and Enjoy Vacation Rentals at The Lookout at R½! We're thrilled the wrap around porch was your favorite part. Picturing you relaxing on the outdoor furniture is exactly what we hope for. We're glad the clean accommodations and great location worked well, and that the soaps and staple items were a lifesaver on that first night. We also appreciate your thoughtful suggestions about the kitchen items, the beds, and a small grill, and we've noted them all. We'd love to welcome you back. Sincerely, Rest and Enjoy Vacation Rentals
