Good family vacation
Family had a great time and stay at this location. Grill worked great and loved the 2 pools onsite. Easy, convenient location to beach and walmart for last minute items. Hosts were top knotch and honestly some of the best I have ever worked with and provided everything needed and did a check in during the stay to make sure all was well. Appreciated that greatly. Though the buildings are a little older, we had everything we needed to cook meals and have a comfortable stay. Loved the conjoined rooms made it much more accessible for our large family. Only other thing I would mention is just the overall cleanliness we found some cigarette buds in our bedroom and the drain in bathtub was slow.

The condo and property owners were very nice. The condo is in a great location and is stocked with everything you need or may forget. The only drawback is the complex the condo is located in. We did not have access to the pool for the entire stay, and the office staff were not professional about the situation.

Not what we were expecting.
Pros- Great location, gym, pool and hot tub were nice. Across the street from the beach is always a plus! Cons- The units smelled musty, had to go buy air fresheners to try and help. The comforters were a tad damp. The place needed a GOOD deep cleaning!!! Not sure why we were charged a cleaning fee when there were finger prints on the tvs, a toy car was under a seat from a pervious guest, smudges on the door frames. The pots and pans could be updated and the hand soap looked like it had been combined with another hand soap. Bedding and pillow were old and outdated. The mattress pads had stains on them and looked like they just needed to be thrown out.

Great Stay
We had both units and it was great for our 2 families, totaling 11 people. There was plenty of space. The location was good and if we head back to Galveston we would stay here again. Only complaint, the fridge makes a really loud, weird noise every so often but it worked just fine. It wouldn’t deter us from staying again.

Fantastic Weekend in Galveston
We travelled to Houston to visit our daughter and family for a week. We booked the condos for our grandson's birth day. It was fantastic. We crossed the street to the beach in the mornings and the evenings and afternoon we spent at the pools. The condo's were exactly as advertised. Having the adjoining condos was such a bonus. we will book again when we are visiting.

Adjoining condos make it special
Knew we wanted Galveston but needed space for mixed ages and new baby. So after researching offerings we found that we could do adjoining condos which worked great. The couple with baby had their space for quiet and the larger condo was the living space. Some in our group had never been on a beach vacation so with beach, pools, hot tub, towels, comfortable and well equipped condos, dolphin tours, shopping the strand, Rainforest Cafe , Pit Stop bbq, walking and exploring the area, game playing and more, we had a very busy, weather perfect weekend at the beach. The entire process from searching to scheduling to staying to checking out was smooth. Thanks for the opportunity to rent the property.
