Relaxing Stay on Galveston Beach

Immaculate condo, location and view were perfect, well appointed with everything we needed and more, plus the owners were available for questions should any arise. I would not hesitate to recommend this condo. You could do as little as you want in this area or as much as your heart desires.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The hosts were great and quick to respond to questions. Condo was clean and well-appointed. Walking access to the beach without having to cross Seawall Blvd was great! Floating the lazy river every evening was the perfect way to unwind, and the massive pool was lovely as well. The hot tubs are large so it wasn’t awkward being in there with strangers. We hope to return!

Great location if as a smart grandparent you know your grandchildren will ultimately prefer the pool over the beach. Plenty of shallow water swimming pool area on property.Safe, easy access to beach for sunrise/sunset walks before it gets too hot for the little ones. Seahorse grill walking distance (across busy street) offer reasonably priced breakfast, lunch and dinner for all ages and is actually pretty good made to order comfort food.
