Reviewer Comments:
Clean condo and well stocked, especially in the kitchen area. Nice chairs on the balcony. Gorgeous complex but the people at front desk are rather obsessed about people wearing wristbands, which is a headache if you are staying for a week as we were.
Charlotte H.
Response from VrboOwner on 20 Aug 2024
Charlotte, thank you for your 5-star review of the property. The wristbands are a security measure due to trespassers to the property since there is no security gate from the parking lot or from the public beach to our property. The obsession is to keep the owners and guests safe. We are sorry to hear they were an inconvenience. We look forward to your next visit.

We've stayed in Galvestonian condos 11 times. This is the best property with beautiful views. Our unit was clean and nicely decorated. Our only disappointment was the pool heater was not working and it was too cold to swim.However, we look forward to our next visit.

Thank you for your review. We are happy to hear you love the Galvestonian and are a repeat customer. Apologies for the downtime of the pool heater. It has been repaired but we are in the process of purchasing a new customized heater to be installed in a few months.

The condo we rented was in good location where we wanted but the shower drain was not working, had to stand in bathed water after shower. The power points on one side of the bed in the main bedroom didn’t work. We called maintenance but they couldn’t fix the problem. The cooking pan was all greasy, it was not washed when we arrived. Except that, we enjoyed the stay. Great views and easy access to beach.

Neelima, I am sorry to read that all was not great with a few items during your stay. Maintenance was able to assist with the drain issue. The power plugs on side of the bed were another issue. We apologize for the inconvenience and cooking pan that was greasy to the touch. We are delighted you enjoyed your stay with easy access to the beach and fantastic views!

Reviewer Comments:
Lovely stay, but for a few issues: 1) There were numerous electrical outlets out of service. We had to run several extension cords to access power throughout the condo. 2) The sound transfer from the end unit next door was alarming. Conversations could be understood and they weren't yelling. Additional drywall, second wall, or other acoustic treatment would be expensive but necessary to remedy such a difficult problem. 3) the unit needs refreshing of paint and minor repairs. 4) the tires on the luggage rollers were too under pressure and would't handle well enough to take heavy load. 5) the air blowing into the secondary bedroom has a rattling sound.

Reviewer Comments:
We have stayed here a few times and it has been great. This time there was construction going on next door. I wish we had known that before renting because we would have chosen a different unit. After being out for the day, the last thing one wants is to come back to pounding noise. So the first day we were listening for an hour and the next day was listening for 2 hrs. when we were tired and just wanted to rest. You should offer a discount to renters around any unit that has construction going on or inform them before renting. I will be sure to call and ask The unit itself was great. It had the added bonus of a Keurig there which is not advertised (we lugged our own). It needed to be descaled which I would have done but there was no vinegar there. Everything worked, it was comfortable and clean.
