Spring Break Getaway

We loved staying at Anchors Away! This was the first time visiting Galveston for a mother daughter spring break getaway. We loved how comfortable the condo was, it was the perfect size for two people. The bed was extremely comfortable, which is super important to us and the couch as well to relax after a busy day of sightseeing. But hands down our favorite thing about Anchors Away was the gorgeous ocean view from our balcony and being able to hear the ocean. Also, not having to purchase bottled water, toilet paper, paper towels, liquid dish soap, trash bags and having shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and liquid hand soap was amazing. All of these extras were provided and made packing easy!! We’ve stayed at many condos, and this is generally not the case so a definite A+! The building is very quiet, clean and the property offers lots of outdoor games for families and the heated pool was also fabulous. Beach access was super close and we felt like we had the beach to ourselves. Also, amazing that beach towels, two beach chairs, and an umbrella were also provided in the condo! We hope to return again and Anchors Away will be our first choice! Thank you Lisa for an amazing spring break vacation!! Tiffiny & Charis Smith Lake Dallas, TX

The Short Beach Escape We Needed

We are from the DFW area and I had a conference in Houston from Wednesday-Friday. My husband and I decided to extend our southern stay by going to Galveston-one of our favorite places. I found this condo on VRBO and booked it since we have always enjoyed our previous stays at Islander East. The condo was clean and just what we wanted/needed. The owner was also very kind and accommodating. I would not hesitate to stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by Lisa Spinks is the owner/manager of the property. Richard D is a co-manager.

We have enjoyed visiting Galveston for many years, but we never ventured over to East Beach. After some friends had us over to visit, in this same complex, we decided that we had discovered the best part of the island. It's quiet, and a bit more secluded here, which we love.

Why they chose this property

We love this property because it's the perfect size for two people. We spend most of our time on the balcony enjoying the breeze, the sound of the water, and sometimes a cocktail, or a glass of wine.
