About this property

First floor; 2 pools! Beach across the street; Easy access; Internet; Smart TVs

Family with grandparents and small children will love this beach front condo in Galveston, Texas. First floor with easy access! Its amenities are many and situated near the parking lot for easy access in the complex for small children and older adult with walking problems. Our 2-bedrooms with King size beds in each bedroom, 2 full bath condos with all tile floors and granite counter tops are a luxurious treat. Beautiful condo with lovely, lush landscaping outside! You will feel like you are at a luxurious resort! Condo sleeps 6 easily (twin daybed with a moveable trundle)

I apologize in advance but the HOA doesn't allow pets and the owner has severe allergies that prohibit contact with animal dander

So delightful for grandparents to vacation or be around their grandkids and watch them having fun at the pool or beach! If a family wants to spend more time with grandparents, and less time trying to keep up with the small kids then this is the condo for you!

Easy access to the pool, beautiful, comfortable, child friendly and spacious! The ocean and sandy beach located across the street is an easy access. Unfortunately, we are not handicapped equipped inside the condo.

Voted best Condominium on the island for 2003 and 2024

The complex has 2 beautiful pools (one pool is usually heated but currently heater is under maintenance) and a community hot spa tub! We have beach chairs and other beach amenities in the condo. Highchair and Pack N Pay for the littlest one. Only 1 mile to Moody Gardens and the Convention Center!

The clean sandy beach is only a walk across the street with safe crossing. The beach, ocean, hot spa and 2 pools are at your disposal for an amazing Galveston stay. The Galveston Trolley cars stop and pick up in front of the condo complex to easily travel the many attractions located along the Seawall.

You will enjoy preparing your meals at our beautifully decorated full kitchen which includes cooking and eating utensils to make meal preparations a breeze. Your stay will feel like a resort- stay experience minus the cost!

Our pictures do not reveal the relaxation and luxury found at our lovely condo! Full size washer and dryer located inside the condo along with 3 smart, flat screen TV's.

The location is fantastic with the patio facing the heated swimming pool (when fixed) during the cool weather months and its easy access with a small gate quickly leading to the gated pool. And the city sandy beach is just across the street.

The Galveston city trolley picks up and drops off guests outside our complex for easy touring of city attractions (limited availability during off season hours). Our complex is family friendly with 2 swimming pools, hot spa tub and a 24-hour fitness room.

Our condo is decorated with your comfort, safety and relaxation in mind. Child friendly - looking for shells and little sea creatures is always fun for the kids with safe crossing of the Seawall. We hope to welcome you to our home!

Building memories at the beach!

My family and I enjoyed our stay immensely. We loved being able to walk right across the street to the beach and also the convenience of having a Walmart so close. The home was homey and lovely. We had a great time building memories at the beach.
It was such a great time. We built memories on the beach by eight year-old granddaughter got to see the beach for the first time.

Comfortable and Clean

Felt like home. Very clean and nice. Could have done without the noisy neighbors stomping around all hours of the night on the floor above us but I guess that’s what happens when you have a ground floor condo. Otherwise, loved the condo.

BUCKET LIST

This was a great property for anyone who may need to use a cane or walker and is relatively independent with ADL's. It nice and clean, has a walk in shower. Has a smooth walk-in sidewalk. Parents are 90years old and really enjoyed Galveston. We marked that off their bucket list!

Great place, great location!

Yolanda was a great host! Her communication ahead of time made the check in process so smooth and for a family with young kids that’s a huge plus! Initially we were bummed to be on the first floor(her other property booked up), but it turned out to be the best thing! The kids could just run out from the patio to play on the grass, easy walk to the pool (and back for snacks and bathroom breaks). The office for check in was open on Sunday to my surprise and so helpful to get us set up with parking and pool passes. The location to the beach, Walmart and easy access to local restaurants and attractions was fantastic and made adventures with kiddos easier. The beach cart provided in the condo was a life saver for us! Thank you for a great place for our family to vacation we had a wonderful time and this clean, comfy condo helped make it so! Highly recommend, I so appreciate a great place with prime access and a host who is so easy to work with it truly made the experience a great one!

A Good Stay

Honest review: 6/10The condo was decent. The kitchen, bathroom, and bedrooms were stocked with important amenities. Everything worked as it should. Checkin was simple and quick, and the front office staff was quickly accommodating in providing the parking pass permit and wrist bands.Although, during and after staying I have a few concerns. The primary bathroom shower was not draining. I let the owner know, and hopefully that issue would be taken care of before the next guest. However, the cleaning staff may not be up to par. There was an abandoned half-spilled coke bottle underneath the primary bed sticking to the floor.Given that it’s a beach condo, sandy floors didn’t bother me too much, but still. Then there’s a privacy issue, I’m not sure if it was the condo or random. But I signed into a streaming account on 1 tv in the condo, and I was alerted that somewhere in Galveston, someone else had signed into my account. I didn’t sign in anywhere else, and how could anyone get my email and password (not an easy guess). As a result, I had to change my password.Overall, I had a good vacation without problems. Just a few quirks but, I would return.

Galveston short stay

Our family group of six had a wonderful stay at Doc’s Quarters.Firstly, the condo and property were well-appointed with amenities and the two pools available were beautiful. Usually heated, during our stay the pool heaters were broken so the pool was too cold for swimming. But we still admired its lovely condition and a short walk across the street took us to the wild ocean. The kids had a blast playing in the water and although we didn’t use the many water toys available at the condo, we were very excited to have them available for our use. Just so many excellent touches and we happily and easily took out our trash and started some towels. Walmart next door was also very helpful and likely best for longer visitors. We would absolutely stay again. Thank

Spring Break

The property was great. The condo was cleaned and very well stocked! If you did happen to forget something Super Walmart is literally across the street which came in handy. The beach across the street is so much nicer than the beach down the road by the pier. The pool area is wonderful wish that the heated pool was actually heated but that is not the owners fault. The one downside is that you do have to drive to most restaurants not a lot around in the walking distance of the condo. For us driving was not an issue because traffic was very light but I could see during the summer months the traffic congestion would be an issue. Overall I would stay here again in a heartbeat and would recommend it to anyone. For anyone that says their are a lot of rules there are not anymore rules that this owner asks for that I have not been asked for at other rentals. We were given all pertinent codes and information well in advance of showing up. Great job Yolanda!
