About the host
Hosted by Vicki Johnston
We enjoy family weekends away with our boys. We live in Lake Charles but come to Galveston and New Orleans often on weekends. Being able to rent our places out helps with the costs of maintaining the homes. We hope you enjoy them just as much as we do.
Why they chose this property
We love the awesome pools, the newer remodeled condo, large balconies and being close to the beach.
What makes this property unique
Includes a washer and drier inside the unit. Also close to parking and the back Elevator.
