Thank you for sharing! We love hearing that you enjoyed the property and had a great stay with us. Hope to welcome you back on your next trip to the island!
Great stay! The building was perfect for our 3 young kids. The condo itself was just as perfect. 3 beds (1 of which had bunkbeds), 2 baths and a good kitchen! We loved it and will be going back. The hosts could not have been any nicer or more accommodating

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.

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!

Wow! Thank you. We look forward to hosting you again
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!

Thank you so much for the detailed review! We’re thrilled that your family of five had plenty of space to unwind and that the movie room and arcade kept your 10 and 13-year-olds entertained on those cooler spring break days. It’s wonderful to hear that the beach gear and stocked condo made your trip easier, and we’d love to host your next family getaway whenever you're ready to recharge again!
Thank you for taking the time to leave such kind feedback! Knowing you had a great stay at the property means a lot to us, and we look forward to hosting your next visit to Galveston!
