We had a wonderful time and loved all of the water options! There is a cold pool, a heated pool, and two hot tubs. Plus, the gulf is right across the street! The only negatives were that there are a lot of stairs in the unit and the bathroom is on the upper floor. My kids annoyed the neighbors below us with their running up and down the stairs.

We would stay here again

We loved everything about the rental. Close to everything, my girls loved the pool area. We were also able to check in a little early. We did have trouble using the sofa sleeper. We couldn't get it to fold completely down. Thankfully we brought an air mattress just incase. Two of the guest slept on there the whole time. But other than that we had not complaints. Still gave a 5 star rating.

Perfect mini vaca

The outside of building is under construction so it does not look very nice I am guessing that is why there are not any pics of actual building. But once we got checked it it was perfect the place was very clean everything as listed we loved it and will probably book again. Close to everything but far enough from the busy part which is what we liked . The owner was very accommodating and very quick in responding. We give it a great place to stay

It was a scenic view of pool and ocean. My family decided to do a short, sudden trip to the beach. We arrived late but the courtesy staff was available to help us out. Galveston beach pier was nearby, and location was away from the larger crowds. You can walk across Seawall BLVD to get to beach.

Beautiful property

Everything was great. Had a small problem with the kitchen sink (thought it wouldn’t drain, ended up being a cup stuck in it) the owner sent someone out that day got it taken care of. Pool was beautiful. Condo was amazing and spacious especially for 5 kids. Only problem was the pool wasn’t open 24/7 for the kids lol. Would recommend staying there. I would stay there again.

Perfect stay

The property was absolutely perfect for our group and what we needed. Very spacious, clean and had all of the amenities. The view was gorgeous! The entry of the property is still under construction from the Hurricane I assume, but the condo we stayed in is not under construction and far away from all renovations.

Never judge a book by it's cover

The property was under construction. It gave an unsettling feeling. But once we finally got to our unit. We were pleasantly surprised. A few suggestions: keep a stock of toilet paper, paper towels, bath towels, and last kitchen sink hot water wasn't getting hot. Outside of these few things the stay was good.

Beautiful Views

We truly enjoyed our stay on Labor Day weekend. The condo has beautiful views directly facing the gulf, which was so nice to see out of the windows and from the large balcony. The amenities were great too - the pool area and huge and always clean. There are multiple pools, volleyball court, seating areas, etc. there is public beach access directly across the street which was easy and convenient. I loved that it’s just a bit further down from the main busy part of seawall blvd so we were able to avoid big crowds at the beach. The host is very quick to respond and is helpful. Thanks again and we look forward to staying again in the future.
