Kelly it was our pleasure to host you and your friend for her milestone birthday! We are grateful that you all chose SeaWatch Terrace for your Galveston stay. Do come back soon!
This was a perfect spot for our family of 4. The location right on the seawall with beach access right across from the condo on the first floor. The weather was less than ideal during our stay but it was still an enjoyable view! I could sit and watch the waves from the porch or the living room for hours! Everything was clean and fresh, well decorated and the fresh flowers in the master added a nice touch. The gift bag was an unexpected perfect addition! Highly recommend this property! I will definitely be back given the opportunity.

We loved this condo. It had everything we needed. The beach is across the street. We sat on the porch a lot because the view was so perfect. It is not located in the middle of lots of people and traffic, a little west but a short driving distance to everything you need.

Simply the best we have ever stayed at. Location, decor and property manager were like no other. Would recommend for anyone and will for sure go back! Pool and beach access just steps away. Only 5 steps into condo from front door.
