I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stumbled upon the Galvestonian last year when trying to find a decently priced place for our little family with 2 Littles to get away for a few days. We decided last minute to stay there again this year with now a third little and it was just wonderful. Everyone from the staff to other guests were incredibly nice and helpful, and the place as a whole is very family friendly! They have a huge pool with PLENTY of shaded seating around it, a huge deck for picnics and hanging out, and tons of grass spaces for play near the grills. This will be our new yearly spot to stay!! ##### A guest from Lindale, Texas From a partner site ### 6/10 Okay #### Josephine R. 13 May 2024 #### Great location but they can do better Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great location but the mgmt company is stuffy and a little overbearing. They act like renters are an inconvenience. Not all of them but many. Unit 203 was clean but needs some TLC. One hairdryer cracked. Other so old it blew silver paint all over you when you turned it on. Cabinets water damaged in bathroom. Lampshade cracked. Fridge opens wrong direction so hard to get things in and out. Standing shower super tiny. ##### Josephine R. ---
