Perfect Stay
We stayed in this condo for 5 days and had an amazing time. Check in was easy and the lobby/pool area is inviting and beautiful. The only thing we didn't like is the plastic bracelet that you had to wear during your entire stay. I understand why you need it but I wish they could give you a lanyard or card or something else to identify you as a visitor. It was annoying to wear especially at night or in the shower. But a minor inconvenience for the beauty and convenience of the condo. It had everything we needed for 2 adults and 1 teen. We had a great time and would definitely stay here again.

Great place to stay at northern end of Galveston. Easy access to Seawall Blvd as well as the historic downtown and ferry to Bolivar. Unit is clean, well-equipped and has good views of the harbor entrance. Beds are comfortable, and linens and towels were fresh. We will book here again if we go back to Galveston.

Loved the heated pool and close proximity to the beach. Well furnished with kitchen supplies. Entrance outside condo door was not vacuumed and dirty. Chairs under tv were sagging.

Pleasantly surprised!
Condo was nice. Loved the tall ceilings and style. The balcony overlooked the harbor and the beautiful pools overlooked the Gulf of Mexico. So, two views to enjoy! The pools and hot tub were spectacular and so was the staff - very friendly and helpful. Did I say we loved the pools and hot tub? Oh, yes!!! They even had a cage for us to lock up our bikes. :). Condo was nicely equipped and stocked appropriately, which was much appreciated (didn’t have to worry about the basics such as toilet paper). Living room was cozy. Overall, we just loved it! Thanks to the owner(s) who hosted us. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We would love to come back. Thanks again!

Pool is AMAZING!! We spent almost our whole time by the pool! Theater room was pretty sweet as well - watched a movie one night - we didn’t have any issues reserving our time.
