We absolutely enjoyed everything about this rental. Makes you feel right at home. Communication with owners was so easy and quick! Yes there is traffic but honestly it wasnt bad at all and we live outside of our city so we are used to quiet and this was just fine for us!

This place was awesome! The condo was extremely clean - so clean that I didn’t even use my packed sheets on the main bed. This is truly a testament to the cleanliness of this place because I will not sleep with sketchy bedding…We were blessed with parking right in front of the front porch to the unit so it was super convenient. Directly across Seawall Blvd is Galveston beach. A beautiful view at any time of day.

This property was amazing! The check-in was very easy and the property has every amenity you could imagine including chargers at every chair, a flat iron, varied spices, laundry pods, a standing fan, sound machine, ear plugs, and the list goes on! It has a huge patio with chairs for four that was great for watching the surf while enjoying morning coffee from the Keurig and stocked coffee bar.
