Condo was as shown. Very basic amenities, but fit our needs. Towels were a little tired and the sheets for the pull out did not fit well. Comfortable queen bed! Loved the location next to the pool. Would stay again.

This was a great place to stay! Very conveniently located next to the beach and two beautiful swimming pools! The condo itself could use some updating. I was disappointed not to be able to open the windows to get fresh air in the evenings and mornings (they didn’t open or were locked with notes not to open them). The air was musty inside. But they had all the basic supplies and the layout was nice. The queen size bed was very comfortable. I’d definitely stay here again!

Very roomy one bedroom in a great location across the street from the Seawall Beach and just out our back door was the condo area pool. The kitchen was larger than expected and there was a good amount of kitchen stuff..pots and pans etc. Even had supplies for laundry. We had a great time and will return to Galveston and to this unit if we can.

Between parking and cleaning fees value for money on a one night stay is dire - arguably that one is on me for not reading to the last paragraph of the listing, but when the parking fee adds 20% to the total price of your stay it is a tough one to swallow regardless. The living area was not set up as shown in the listing, the sofa bed was there but the other sofa was split out into two uncomfortable sectionals. Bedroom tv is very slow to the point of being barely functional if trying to use an app. Strange notices also displayed requesting that makeup be removed before using linens or towels, felt a bit off to us as if they’re trying to get away with not cleaning. Property was otherwise fine, but we wouldn’t return.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The condo was in a great location, which made it convenient for everything we wanted to do. The hosts were very responsive and easy to communicate with throughout our stay. That said, the unit itself was difficult to find, could really benefit from a deep cleaning, and had a strong musty odor that made it less comfortable. With a little more attention to cleanliness and upkeep, it would be an excellent place to stay given the location and hosts.

The condo was in a great location,the condo itself was spacious clean and the owner was very pleasant and courteous, checking in was pleasant. The grounds is beautiful.

This condo was amazing. The bed was comfortable and I love that the pool was right behind and right off the back porch. My only suggestion was you need more mirrors around the place just not in the bathroom and bedroom that was covered by the TV.

Stay here!

This condo was perfect for my family of 5, including 3 teenagers. They had everything we needed! Having direct access to the pool 10 steps away right out the back door was perfect. The patio held all of our pool and beach items and kept the mess and sand outside! Super easy access across the street from the beach, and the wagon was SO convenient to have! Great location away from the crowds, the beach was private and so clean. We will stay here again!
