Terrific view and location with walking path access to the beach. Wonderful pool, lazy river, fitness center, and other amenities. The condo had everything we needed, and we especially loved the outdoor patio with comfy furniture. Amazing coffeehouse within a short walk. We would stay here again in a heartbeat. Loved our time in Galveston, and this spot was perfect.
The condo complex was beautiful and very well kept. Staff were very friendly and easily accessible to answer any questions. We went over spring break and had some cooler days so the indoor arcade and movie room were a huge hit with our kids (ages 10 and 13). The condo was very clean and provide plenty of space for our party of five. It is well stocked with just about everything you would need including beach gear (cooler, chairs, boogie boards, and sand toys). Pool towels are also including. Definitely, a great stay for a week to unplug and recharge!
This is second time on property and it was beautiful as usual. Great pools for adults and kids alike. Unit was clean, well stocked with towels, beach necessities and nice outdoor seating area. This is our top place to stay in Galveston.
The property was wonderful and a great location with easy beach access and amazing amenities (large pool and lazy river, game room and movie room). Also very clean and great service. We loved our stay and will be back!

Hi Melodie, thank you for your thoughtful review. While staffing may be more limited during the off-season, we are truly pleased to hear that you enjoyed your time with us. We look forward to welcoming you again on your next visit.
Great place, kept clean and was easy to get in and out of. Far enough away from the crowds on the Seawall, but close enough to visit and tour. A lot of room for kids and family.
