Great location if as a smart grandparent you know your grandchildren will ultimately prefer the pool over the beach. Plenty of shallow water swimming pool area on property.Safe, easy access to beach for sunrise/sunset walks before it gets too hot for the little ones. Seahorse grill walking distance (across busy street) offer reasonably priced breakfast, lunch and dinner for all ages and is actually pretty good made to order comfort food.

Relaxing Stay on Galveston Beach

Immaculate condo, location and view were perfect, well appointed with everything we needed and more, plus the owners were available for questions should any arise. I would not hesitate to recommend this condo. You could do as little as you want in this area or as much as your heart desires.

Lovely Condo in Galveston

We had a great time over a long 4th of July weekend. The condo is very clean, and the check in process was easy. The owners checked in with us frequently, and all instructions were printed clearly in advance - we didn't have any issues at all throughout our stay. The property itself is very nice, and I was impressed with the service levels of the staff at the property - friendly and fast. Nice, clean, and comfortable bed, bath, and kitchen (with a view of the waves on the beach from the kitchen and living room).

It was an amazing experience!! To the early check in provided to the check out! Jonathan & Janice stayed in communication on our arrival day to make sure it was a smooth process. My kids and I enjoyed every minute available at the many pools and amenities. Our condo was equipped with everything we needed made it easy took cook our breakfast and dinner for one of our nights! It was like a home away from home. We had a great view each morning to the beach and the resort pools. The morning sunrise was amazing! We hope to make this trip again at a future time.

Do NOT recommend

We ended up not even staying at this property. The owner’s description of the “expansive views of the beach” from the private balcony are not true. The Juliet balcony was maybe 5-6 feet across and enclosed in a corner of the building. While the unit itself was decorated well, there are literally no windows at all, other than the glass door to the small balcony. The owner supplied his cell number and was fairly responsive until I expressed concern. He then did not respond at all. Lastly, he kindly offered to leave us an island treat or drink, which was not there when we checked in. If you care at all about views of the beach, do not recommend.

Ain't scared of no tropical storm

Didn't think it would turn into hurricane Beryl, but rode it out with my five year old grandson. Felt safe and secure during storm and grandson slept right through. We did get to enjoy the amenities the day before and can't wait for next trip back. Owners were great and more than accomodating.

Great condo

This is the 2nd time we stayed in this condo. The view from the balcony is gorgeous and the condo is well stocked. The hosts are very gracious and easy to reach. Definitely going back next year. We were there on our honeymoon and they left us a card, roses and a bottle of champagne. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay.
