Just what we needed

The location was just what we needed and the accommodations were spot on. For a nice stay close to the beach with the room for a family of 4 it was just right. I was very happy this was our first Vrbo stay and I’m glad we found it.

Perfect Galveston Weekend

The VRBO is perfect for a small family looking to get away to the beach! Easy access to the beach and restaurants (including treats for the kids and coffee for the adults). Even close to a local mini golf course. Parking was a breeze and it was comforting to know we had a safe place to crash after those long fun days.

Nice Galveston Visit

This place was very cute, looks just like the pics, comfy beds and plenty of bath towels/toilet paper/ kitchen appliances etc. My favorite is that it is directly across from the seawall and beach so no long walk or having to drive to the beach. Also, the pools have showerheads so its easy to rinse off all the sand before having to go upstairs to the condo 👍

Girls weekend

We really enjoyed our stay at this property! The pictures online accurately showed what you are getting when you walk in. A plus for us was that the room is at the end of the hall, so there was very little traffic walking by. It was perfect for the weekend!

Wonderful Experience

My three children and I were in town for a cheer competition and chose this condo because of location. It was wonderful to be able to walk to anywhere we wanted to go! The condo was very clean and comfortable, and well stocked. The host was kind and quick to respond. We hated to leave and plan on coming back very soon!

Nicely Decorated Clean Place. Close to Beaches, Restaurants & Shopping. What More Could You Ask For.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Our family consisted of us two, our twin 16 year old boys and my mother in law. The check in process couldn't have been easier. The property was clean and nicely decorated. The master bed was comfortable as was the pull out sofa. As mentioned in the property description, the two beds in the hallway are small but our 16 year old boys did just fine. Kids are resilient! We were just a short walk across the street to the pier and beaches. Theres plenty of shopping, restaurants and things to do nearby. The heated outdoor pool was a bonus. The grounds are professionally kept up and inviting. If we find ourselves on Galveston Island again, we'll try to stay here again. Thanks for letting us enjoy your little slice of heaven!
