The condo was spacious. Updated shower. Comfortable bed and sheets. Updated washer/dryer. All you need for a kitchen. Complementary coffee kcups. Couches need a cleaning. Have a “used” smell. The condo has air fresheners and I think the smell of the couches are overpowering them. Makes the condo smell musty. Plus, the oil diffusers have lost their effectiveness. Need to replace the sticks. Not a big issue and it’s not over bearing but something that can easily be remedied for a fresher property.

Great place to stay!

We really enjoyed this property. The owner was easy to communicate with and resolved any issues quickly. We enjoyed that the pool was very close to the unit and the unit was ground level. Walmart was also across the street which was convenient for drinks and snacks!

First Trip to Galveston

Unit was terrific. I'm always a big fan of a separate bedroom. Bed was comfortable. Close to restaurants. View of the pool courtyard was fantastic. Access to the beach was great. Exploring Galveston was a ball. Looking forward to visiting Galvaston again. I will look to this unit first.

Perfect Weekend Getaway

We came to have one last surprise getaway for our kids before school started. We absolutely loved the location ( you can't beat how close it is to the pool!) From a family standpoint, we loved how close it was to the Walmart as well. The place was very clean, owner answered and questions I had. My family really enjoyed staying here.
