The property was very nice, clean and quiet. A good location to all activities on the island. Really enjoyed our five days and would definitely rent the unit again.
We stayed for 2 nights to see Galveston, the condo was perfect, clean and tidy and as described. La Shaun was brilliant and gave excellent recommendations and was the perfect host. Would certainly come back
This is a lovely condo located in a quiet, pretty complex. It was the perfect size for our family and has a comfortable sectional, beds, and a large kitchen. It’s also thoughtfully stocked with everything you’d need for a weekend stay and having a washer/dryer on sight was very convenient. The pool area is really nice and we will definitely be visiting again over the summer.
My husband and family had a wonderful stay. The owners were very quick to respond with any questions that I had. If we plan another trip to this area-we will stay here!!😀
This is a clean, well kept property. It was easy to find, and easy to get to other places. Very quiet area. At first I wasnt sure about the beds, but it was the best sleep in a long time.
The place is beautiful. The condo is in the middle of the Townhome Community. It was very quiet. Location was perfect. We were near everything. My friends said it was great spot and definitely will be booking here again for our next girl weekend stay.
Comfortable condo met our needs. Nice pool with sun deck. Beach access not as convenient as we had hoped. Enjoyed day trips to The Strand and Moody Gardens.
It was nice to be away from the hustle and bustle (we went during a holiday weekend) two beaches less than 5 minutes away. The pool was very well maintained. Little things like having boogie boards and a beach bag made our trip that much better. The wife and I enjoyed the binder with recommendations and information. Property owner was prompt and very responsive to the few questions we had.
We had a great week and a bit at this condo. There were two adults and child, and it was the perfect size for us. Great communications with the owner, and we were settled fairly quick. Location is excellent, only a block from the beach and seawall, nice area. Would come again. Only small issue we had was noise from an air conditioner in another condo that was loud at night, but assume it will be fixed soon. We also were able to grill which is great when it is hot out, and there is soooo much seafood to enjoy in this area. Thanks again!
The condo is a nice, cozy, very clean place. It is on a second floor with parking a bit of a distance on hot days. The beach is very close, but not in sight nor in safe walking distance. However, the place itself was welcoming and charming. My husband and I found just about everything we needed stocked. The owners were also a delight. We had some troubles getting in at first, and the owners were on it within moments and we were inside. The immediate response was perfect. We even heard from them during the stay to check on us, to make sure we had everything we needed.
I loved all of the thoughtful touches throughout the condo. We stayed here for 2 nights before a cruise and felt very safe, comfortable, and at home.
We mainly slept, watched movies, and made food in the kitchen while we were there!
The maps provided made it easy to find parking, the unit itself, and the trash cans for when we were cleaning up to leave. Parking was easy to find every time we left and came back.
Everything was very cozy. The host even left a few waters and snacks for us. There were plenty of towels and blankets. The beds were comfortable.
The kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, cups, plates, bowls, silverware, and even quite a few seasonings and misc. things great for last-minute cooking. There were small appliances like a toaster, a blender, and a crockpot.
There was a nice hand soap in the bathroom. Be sure to bring your own shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. :)
I would absolutely stay here again. Maybe next time it won't be raining so we can give the community features a try, like the pool.
Thanks for a great stay!
Apartment was nice and clean, easy to park in January. Delightful coffee shop very close by for breakfast. We didn’t use any amenities but the beds were so comfortable and it was a great place for a weekend away with my best friend.
My family and I really enjoyed our stay. The inside is so nice and clean it’s just like a little apartment with everything you need. We would definitely stay there again when we take another trip to Galveston.
We just wanted a quick getaway and this place checked all the boxes and was wonderful! Our host was very helpful and responsive whenever I had questions.
