We so appreciated and fully enjoyed the gorgeous views from the large balcony, the easy access to the beach, the beautifully appointed home, and being close to all Galveston offers with the room to breathe that the east end provides.

Thank you for your kind review. Yes our condo is on a very secluded beach on the east end and close to restaurants and downtown.
You were such nice guests and hope you will come stay again.
One of the better equipped properties I’ve ever stayed at. Very good cookware, appliances, beach supplies, etc. the owners were very good with communicating with us in the middle of our stay when we needed information about EV charging. The building and amenities were too notch. The kids loved the pool. A perfect family getaway.

This condo was beautiful and had every amenity that we needed. We will definitely be back and stay here again. Beautiful scenic views. The house was an excellent condition and very clean. All we had to purchase was a few groceries and we had the perfect week. From beach toys and beach towels to games that you can play in the room everything was there. This truly made it paradise in Galveston for us.

Thank your for your kind review. You were great guests. We would love to host you again.
We had such a great trip. The facilities are immaculate. Well kept upscale resort feeling. The condo itself was very clean, spacious and comfortable. Also have never stayed somewhere where it was so well stocked with so much extra equipment for the beach games, food, spices, toiletries, beach towels & kitchen supplies. Will definitely be back!

Thank you for such a nice review. We are so happy when our guests enjoy their stay. Hope you can come again.
We had a great time at the Palisade Palms for the 4th of July holiday week! The condo had everything needed for our group (2 adults, 2 yr old and 7 yr old) to enjoy the pool and beach! We were worried about crowds but this place is perfect and you practically have the beach to yourself. Would highly recommend!

Beautiful clean condo with a well stocked kitchen in a building with great amenities. Walking distance to the beach with a short drive to restaurants and stores. Owner’s provided a lot of helpful suggestions and information and communicated frequently. Overall a great stay.

Thank you for your nice review. You are welcome back any time.
Such a beautiful condo & view!
The home had everything we needed for our stay.
The beach was not crowded and so clean compared to other places I’ve stayed in Galveston over the years.
My kids loved that they could watch Netflix on all the TVs. My daughter enjoyed a Spider-Man marathon one day while it rained.
Definitely look forward to coming back!
We've have stayed at several different condos in the Palisades over the years. This unit is excellent. Very clean and very well stocked with kitchen utensils, games, towels, etc. The property owners communicate well and even left a very nice goody basket on our arrival. We would highly recommend.

This beach home is BEAUTIFUL with so many amenities. It has a beautiful pool, hot tubs, gameroom, fitness room, sauna and a
boardwalk to your own private beach.
The owners went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable. We even had a goody basket upon arrival with their local favorites which was quite a treat.
I highly recommend you take the opportunity to relax in this gorgeous, comfortable home.

Thank you for your review. We hope that all our guests have a great experience at our place. You were wonderful guests and such a nice family. Hope you will be our guests again.
Condo was awesome! The comfortable furnishings, well equipped kitchen, etc. were the best we’ve encountered in a rental. The owners were quick to respond to questions that we had both before and after our arrival. We definitely will stay here again, especially when the owners were open to getting another key fob for future renters. We also love all of the resort amenities.

Thanks for the very nice review. We always are happy when our guests enjoy our accommodations.
Hope you can come again!
First the owners lived here for several years before they listed it for rental. It is really nice. It is well furnished, the kitchen has everything including condiments, zip lock bags, all the seasonings--the pantry was full of the items you just can't take with you. This is like staying in someone's home with everything supplied. The owners have anticipated everything to make it a stress-free stay. Thanks!

Thanks for your kind review and especially your patience and good will while we had the A/C fixed while you were there. You were awesome guests and hope you will come back again!
This is a fabulous condo. It’s very clean and comfortable. Beds and pillows are great. Kitchen is very well equipped. Nice to have access to beach towels, toys and puzzles. The welcome basket is a nice touch. You don’t have to worry about stopping for dinner or groceries before you arrive. The complex is very nice and very safe. Short walk to the beach. Only issue with the beach is no shells-no worries just hop the ferry to Bolivar
I will definitely book this condo again

Thank you for your nice review. We are always happy when our guests enjoy our accommodations. Yes please come stay again!
NOTE:: I mistakenly chose the 4 star button but should have selected 5 stars. Betty was definitely a 5 star guest!
We really enjoyed our stay at this property! It’s just outside of town, away from the crowds of Galveston. We were traveling with kids, and the condo was stocked with everything we needed to have fun on the beach (towels, toys, chairs, etc.). We got groceries on the way and the condo kitchen was stocked with all the necessary equipment to make meals for the family, and was super clean. Christine and David were lovely hosts, and had a basket of goodies for us when we arrived and a handy binder with all the details we needed for our stay. Check in and out was easy with someone at the front desk 24/7, and the whole condo was very secure and safe. The view from the balcony and windows was just beautiful! We’d definitely stay here again.

About the host
Hosted by David and Christine Gruener
We moved to Galveston Island in 2016 and we fell in love with the culture, amazing seafood restaurants, cute happy hour spots, and friendly, laid-back atmosphere of the Island—we hope you will too!
Why they chose this property
Palisade Palms contains the most safe (key fob entry only to common spaces and condo), best sweeping views of the Gulf, and most luxurious properties on the entire island.
What makes this property unique
The front desk is staffed with a 24 hour concierge for any maintenance or information that you might need. Palisade Palms is one of the very few condominiums directly on the beach in Galveston. There is no road and no seawall between you and the beach!!! Also since our condo was our home for a few years, we have many extras not found in a typical short term rental.
