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.

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.
