Midwest winter getaway
Comfortable condo met our needs. Nice pool with sun deck. Beach access not as convenient as we had hoped. Enjoyed day trips to The Strand and Moody Gardens.

Great weekend getaway!
This is a lovely condo located in a quiet, pretty complex. It was the perfect size for our family and has a comfortable sectional, beds, and a large kitchen. It’s also thoughtfully stocked with everything you’d need for a weekend stay and having a washer/dryer on sight was very convenient. The pool area is really nice and we will definitely be visiting again over the summer.

About the host

Hosted by La Shaun Fontenot

Host profile image
I am a native Galvestonian or as we like to say BOI (Born on Island)! I love my hometown and enjoy driving down the seawall with my windows down and eating seafood from some of my favorite spots. I enjoy hosting because I want others to enjoy my hometown as much as I do!

Why they chose this property

I chose Cove View because it's away from the hustle and bustle of the beach. You can go out and enjoy yourself and come back to a serene environment. Our neighborhood is quite and off of the beaten path.

What makes this property unique

Our property is child friendly and offer amenities such as outside grilling and a glistening pool!
