The ocean was visible from the balcony. The room was everything we needed for our stay. The only negatives were the sofa, because it is so low, we could hardly get up from it, and the commode, same thing, it’s so low, it was difficult for us to sit and stand up from it.

Property was advertised as 1679 sq ft but was less than 600 sq ft,couch was cheap and uncomfortable,pots and pans, kitchen trash can and patio furniture are worn and need to be replaced. Paint color,flooring and decor are soothing and beachy. Pool and hot tubs were great and well maintained. Very spacious pool area and well manicured grounds.

Great fall break getaway

Condo was clean and ended up being great for our family of 4. Kids loved the bunk beds. Kitchen was fairly well stocked though we mainly just cooked breakfast during our stay. Access to the beach was great! Would definitely stay here again. It was my husband's first trip to Galveston and he is ready to go back!

Safe and Clean location.

This was a Mother’s Day trip with my daughter and elderly mom. Being close to the beach with a ramp and having an elevator made our trip. Having an on-site security guard made us feel safe and all the staff we encountered were friendly and helpful. The pool area was well maintained and having an adult hot tub was a nice bonus. The condo was clean and well stocked. We will definitely book here again if we are able to return.
