Because this condo is nearly 20 miles from a Galveston proper, the owners made sure you have everything you need during your stay. So many amenities provided for your convenience. Beautiful and tastefully decorated, comfortable, views for miles, steps to the beach, and private. Our expectations were met and exceeded! Private balcony, huge swimming pool, lazy river, books, movies, great TV, comfortable bed! The list goes on! You will not regret booking ‘Above the Waves’! ##### Jeri Q.

This was our first year to experience first day challenges. The cleaning crew definitely went a little fast in flipping this one for our arrival, and we spent the first few minutes wiping down surfaces that still had food, cleaning out fridge, etc. Not a big deal, as sometimes that happens (contractors). But soon after, the air conditioner stopped. And no A/C in Galveston in the summer is a non-starter. Owners were so apologetic and had an A/C Tech on phone with me that night to see if I could troubleshoot, and then had someone on-site at 8a the next day, fixed soon after. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, even with the challenges of the first 24 hours. As always, we fully use the kitchen to cook meals, take advantage of the many beach toys that the owners keep available, and certainly use the pool at the club. It’s a great property with incredible views and a great breeze on the patio. ##### Julie G.

We had everything we needed to cook for our large party (5 adults, 3 kids). Beds were super comfortable and living room sectional was large. Lots of indoor activities (games, puzzles, great books). Pool area is a short walk away and we especially enjoyed the large hot tub. Beach also a short walk away. Could not have asked for a better location. Only downside is the unit is beneath another and we could hear people walking on floor above us. ##### Sara W.

The location was perfect, close to the club house and beach. The extras were so helpful so we could pack lighter... pack n play, high chair, beach wagon, canopy, beach towels, chairs. Kitchen had everything we needed and more. Everything seemed clean, which we really appreciate. We hope to stay here again! ##### Jessica B.

The condo has literally everything we needed, was beautifully decorated and beds were super comfortable! We had a little trouble with check in but the owner was very responsive and helpful! The condo is very conveniently located within the resort, making getting to the beach and using the pool and game room so easy! ##### Emily G.

Upon our arrival, the condo was very clean, updated and decorated so beautifully. The beachfront views from the balcony are perfection for sipping morning coffee or just hanging out enjoying the ocean breeze. :) The beds are extremely comfortable, too! My family and I slept very well and woke up so refreshed each day. The condo was very spacious and well stocked with anything we needed. The storage closet downstairs is also stocked with a variety of beach toys, boogie boards, chairs, wagon, tent, etc! The sweet owner, Lisa, even dropped off a new tent during our stay after the one we used from the closet finally gave out. That was incredibly kind! The condo is also in a perfect location and so convenient to the beach pier, pool and restaurant. Overall the condo was exceptional, and we plan to stay again next summer! Highly recommend! ##### Julie G.
