Few days with granddaughter

This was during a cold snap in Galveston and my granddaughter was delighted to swim in the heated pool! The property had all the amenities we needed and she especially enjoyed the bunk cubby to play in. it was comfortable and clean. It is a small unit, which was ok with us.

Beautiful view

The hotel stay was overall good. But needing certain accommodations like additional clean towels and linens could have been easier if we had access to the storage unit initially but when we called support they assisted us without hesitation. We had easy access to multiple tourists attractions and food venues. Lots of entertainment for the kids as well.

Fantastic condo!

I took my 8 year old daughter to this Turtle-y Awesome condo for a Mommy/Daughter get away weekend! It was a fantastic stay! Everything you could need is already included in your visit including beach towels! The only issue we had is that we could not get the TV to allow for guest sign in to our apps. Not a problem though because she was more than happy to watch her tablet on the provided wifi while I cooked dinner/showered. Check in was a breeze in the lobby and the facility was very well maintained. The hosts were attentive before and after our stay and even included recommendations that we loved. Will definitely be sharing this precious condo with others that want to check out Galveston!
