The view of the beach was amazing and had easy access. The property was quiet, away from a lot of people, but close enough to restaurants and other activities that Galveston has to offer. The owner was always quick to respond. We really enjoyed staying at this property.

This condo was perfect for our family of four! It was very clean, the kitchen was well stocked with cooking supplies, and the host was very quick to respond to any questions or needs that we had. Our kids loved the bunk beds! The beach view from both balconies were amazing as well! What I loved most was being able to enjoy the beach away from the busy parts of Galveston, but it was just a short drive to local attractions. What makes this property unique is that you do not have to cross the busy street to get to the beach. The private and secure boardwalk made it very easy to get there. Overall a wonderful property to stay at when vacationing in Galveston!
