This condo was perfect for our little getaway to Galveston with my daughter and her friend. The girls loved the pool and I loved that the property was conveniently located. Everything we wanted to do was no more than a short 10 minute drive.Check in was a breeze, as Larry provided detailed instructions prior to our arrival. The condo was clean and we loved the beach/ocean view.

Great Vrbo stay!

This was a wonderful place for a Galveston getaway. Our property manager, Larry, was so great to work with. He made sure everything met our satisfaction. Resort has three pools and a hot tub and so close to the beach. Beautiful place to stay.

Perfect stay

The property was absolutely perfect for our group and what we needed. Very spacious, clean and had all of the amenities. The view was gorgeous! The entry of the property is still under construction from the Hurricane I assume, but the condo we stayed in is not under construction and far away from all renovations.
