My family stayed here the 2nd week in June. Overall, the condo was as described on the website. The owners were responsive and informative. There is re-construction going on that I wish we would have been told about. Each morning, promptly at 7:30, carpenters started in directly beneath us and one day we were informed that our water would be off for a couple of hours. It didn't bother the kids so I consider this a positive evaluation. If it had been just the wife and me, I would not be as generous. We would stay here again after confirming any and all remodelling were done. Consumers, be sure to ask questions.

Aug 3, 2017 #### Great Location, Everything you need Ivonne has thought of everything you would need for a perfect trip. The walking distance to the beach was great, although the sign for the beach access is missing so another family was kind enough to show us, but the walk was quick and easy. The bed was comfy, the condo was clean. The 3 bathrooms really helped out. The views were nice. It's a short drive into the heart of Galveston but still further down that allowed peace and quiet and we loved having access to a private beach. Beach chairs, umbrella, sand toys.... she had everything. Pack n play, baby gate, high chair made it even better for us. Didn't have to fumble with keys returning to the condo as the keyless entry was awesome. We've been to Galveston the past 3 years and this place was the best so far. Would rent again! Thank you Ivonne and Robert for an amazing condo. ##### Jessica Y. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Misty X. Oct 3, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great place close to the ocean! This was such a cute little place to stay! We have two toddlers and this was their first time being at and seeing the ocean! Whomever said the walk to the beach is 8 minutes, they are incorrect. It was more like 3 minutes! Lol! Ivonne was absolutely amazing as a hostess! Quick communication and extremely caring! One thing I would say, being your own pillows. The beds are super comfortable, but the pillows were sad. With everything going on, it’s probably just a good idea in general. We loved the local seafood markets, we made our own ceviche etc at the condo! The food is delicious..straight from the gulf! Katie’s seafood market was our go to. If you need groceries go to Kroger, not the little place next door (unless you are in a pinch). The little market next door is about 25% more expensive. We loved our stay!! ##### Misty X. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Bruce B. Aug 4, 2020 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Enjoyed our time but... We enjoyed our time at the condo/house, but were a little frustrated with some things like: The blinds in the master bedroom are broken and missing "slats" making it easy to see into the room; the water was shut off when we arrived (luckily I saw where the cutoff was located outside); the upstairs bathroom door sticks terribly, makes an awful noise when opened, and will not lock; one of the blankets we were going to use looked to have baby spitup on it so we washed all the blankets; there were sugar ants in the kitchen & dead roaches in various rooms (I guess it's better than live roaches); the beach "toys" are well used and barely usable (ie. all the boogy boards were broken). Like I said, we still enjoyed our time, but it was not the greatest place we have stayed at there. ##### Bruce B. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marvin P. Aug 22, 2018 #### Enjoyable We had a great time and stay at this place. We stayed from Wednesday through the next Tuesday with 3 adults and 2 teenagers. There are two bedrooms that sleeps 4 and a futon. Not liking futons too much, we had brought a air bed with us. There was a great space (nook) off to the right in the living room for the air bed. The AC worked great on both floors. Although not next to the beach, we had very enjoyable views from the inside the kitchen, bedrooms and the balconies on both 2nd & 3rd floors. The kitchen was well provided for. On the first floor there is a storage room. We noticed there were beach chairs, umbrellas, fishing poles and toys in there available to use. We had brought our own so did not need to use them. While there we did buy a beach cart to haul chairs, etc. to the beach. It was about 5 to 10 minute walk to the beach. The beach was never crowded while we were there. The weekend had the most people there. Almost everyday we took a morning walk on the beach, then a late morning swim, and then early evening time on the beach. Very relaxing and enjoyable. We particularly were intrigued by the pelicans soaring in formation down the beach and diving to catch fish. For other activities: - their aunt took the kids to pleasure pier in Galveston one night. - on Sunday nights during the summer they have fireworks (9 pm) in Galveston off a pier. So we went in early. Did some shopping at Murdoch's (no AC in store). Then sat on the beach & waited about an hour. It was a good fireworks show but only lasted about 10 minutes. For this trip we wanted to have a relaxing time with little stress. We definitely got it. ##### Marvin P.

My wife and I had the pleasure of staying in this lovely townhouse rental for four months through the winter of 2012. Everything was provided in the rental, so all we needed was our clothing, personal items and food, making packing for this extended “vacation” extremely easy. We were pleased at how well the unit and the surrounding areas were maintained during our extended stay. With the beach only a couple hundred feet from our door, we spent a great deal of time walking on the beach, eventually hiking over five miles in each direction from the house, with literally miles more of open beach beyond. Restrooms at select public beach access areas along our hiking routes made the long-distance treks possible. Our grandchildren would visit and spend hours building sand castles (even beach toys were provided by our host), gathering seashells, swimming in the surf and exploring the birds and wildlife, so abundant on the island. Pelicans, terns, seagulls, osprey, and dozens more shore birds were abundant as well as the occasional sighting of porpoise, sea turtles, fish, crabs (loved the hermit crabs!) and other aquatic life made every day at the beach unique. After the first night, both of us commented on how comfortable the beds were. And of course the soft background sounds of the surf would lull one into sleep easily. The two decks with ocean views offered a choice of sun or shade. Since we were there in the “winter” months, we often used the sunny upper deck, where we would go to sip a drink, read a book, view the pelicans feeding just off shore, or just relax. And from the opposite side of the house, we could see the water of the inter-coastal “bay” side of the island as well. We were about 1 mile from the little town of Jamaica Beach and 10 miles from “downtown” Galveston, but we also had access to a grocery store, gas station, and a wonderful seafood restaurant (Nate’s) right next door, along with golf cart or kayak rentals and a bait shop right across the street. While we didn’t do any fishing ourselves, we did see a lot of fish taken from the Gulf by shore fishermen and kayakers. Our stay was most memorable, and we would recommend this property for anyone who would like some quality time on the Gulf at the beach.

I enjoyed the view from the living area on the top floor. The house is West of Jamaica Beach in a quiet area outside of town. There are nearby restaurants that we enjoyed and a convenient general grocery store within walking distance. The beach in that area is nice. Vehicles are not allowed on that portion of the beach so don't bother renting a golfcart. Our host was great with communication and answered all of our questions quickly. ##### David M.

Close enough to walk to the beach with easy access. It was peaceful and quiet with no heavy traffic. Beautiful partial ocean views from both decks and bedrooms. Enjoyed sipping coffee in the morning and listening to the ocean waves. Host was easy to communicate with. Would stay here again. ##### Lindsey D.

It was myself, my husband, our daughter and her friend. My husband and I took the "master" and our daughter and her friend took the other room. The rooms were so comfortable, clean, and had amazing views. The bedrooms and washer/dryer are on the floor when you walk in the door. The top floor has another full bathroom, and is where the kitchen and living room are. The kitchen had everything we needed. The entire house was super clean. We sat on the upper patio/deck almost every night! It faces directly to the ocean. We would stay here again! ##### Jayme B.
