Perfect location

We will always check availability here first when planning future Galveston trips. The condo was so clean and well-appointed. The location cannot be beat if you are wanting a local feel without being right on the Strand. We love being on Post Office, so it’s perfect for us. The garage was a huge bonus!

We loved this place! Its location was fantastic! An easy walk to the Strand and art galleries/restaurants. We even walked up to the Seawall one day (it was a long walk). The garage parking was a huge bonus too. We will be back!

Excellent location. Plenty of room for 4-5 adults. Would have give overall 5 stars, but wifi would not connect to TV. Had to pay for parking. A Tacoma pickup will not fit into garage. You can fit a Camry sized vehicle at most. Area was quiet. I would stay there again.

Stay inside is Beautiful and cozy

The place was nice, there is a lot of places you can walk around to get coffee or something to eat, we were there to go to an event so we had to use the car a lot to travel, the only thing that was very inconvenient for us was parking… since the garage needs to be open while you are inside the building. So each time we wanted to park the car I would have to leave the car unattended with the kids in an alley area walk around to enter the building and open the garage door… it would’ve been nice to have a control to be able to open the garage door while in the car.

Perfect Getaway!!

This place is PERFECT! The location is perfect for all things Downtown Galveston. We parked our car in the garage and never moved it until time to go home on Sunday! I’m not sure if you can find a more trendy place! Whoever designed/decorated this place is one of a kind! Check in instructions sent immediately after booking made the check in so simple. We will definitely be staying here again next time we come to Galveston!

Beautiful & Cozy Condo!

My teenage son and I enjoyed a wonderful stay in this gorgeous condo that is conveniently located within walking distance to many places in the Strand area. We will definitely come back in the fall! The condo was very clean and beautifully decorated. It is evident that the owners take great pride in their property!

Labor Day Get Away

This place was AWESOME! Very cosey and quaint; the perfect stay for that weekend getaway or for the night in Galveston before boarding the ship for your next cruise. Within walking distance to several restaurants. All three beds were amazingly comfortable, as were the pillows. My wife even checked to see the make of the mattress! The towels were plush and very nice as well. My son is attending Texas A&M – Galveston campus, so we will definitely be back again.

Great location, great communication, parking lot for pay is next door to condo. Only wish there would have better instruction concerning use of tv. Will recommend the condo to other visitors. The garage is for smaller cars not a suburban.

We loved the house and location was great! A few minor complains we just think the owner should be aware of… 1) The floors were super dirty. We had black feet within a few minutes of walking around barefoot which was a little inconvenient with toddler running around 2) The listing says checkout at 11 AM but a cleaning lady knocked on the door at 9:30 telling us we had until 10 fortunately we were ready to go but just want to point that out in case the listing needs to be updated. 3) There was no coffee left Overall we loved the house though and had a great time!
