Top Floor very last in row. Great view of the gulf to sit, drink a cup of coffee and watch the sun rise over the gulf. It was great to have a full oven with such a small kitchen. The mattress is very firm but we brought our own topper. Good location across from the fishing pier with bar on top. ![view from room.](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/064E3EC71591F18477BCF62B186C237B6D8DE2961729857146618.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Jessie Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cristie Mar 29, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication #### Small but great view The condo has excellent views of the gulf and an easy walk. The space is small and a bit dated, but the condo was furnished with most everything we needed. I would stay here again. The owners were quick to respond to my email. ##### Cristie Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Mariah Dec 31, 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication #### Moldy smell I wish I would have taken photos of this old, stinky place. Do not waste your money here. ##### Mariah Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Russell May 26, 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication There was vomit on one if the beds, parking was an additional $40\. The apartment is a 1 bedroom. The “bunk beds” must be homemade with custom mattresses that are super narrow. The living room had so much furniture walking around was a struggle. Overall it was grimey and dirty. Would not stay there again. ##### Russell Stayed 2 nights in May 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### MICHELE Jul 19, 2025 Liked: Property conditions & facilities, communication Disliked: Amenities Checking in was great, however once inside the unit, it wasn’t what I expected at all. Smelled musty, the curtains on the sliding door were extremely old and had holes in them and no locks on the sliding doors. It had a pole to wedge it from being opened. The bed was horribly hard, slept on the sofa sleeper, which wasn’t great, but better than the bed. The bunk my granddaughter slept on had a comforter that smelled of urine. The description stated it came with a starter supply of paper products and found nothing. Thankfully I did bring toilet paper. I did message the owner and it was delivered immediately. There was no toaster or blow dryer. The outlets don’t hold plugs. Every one I tried to use, everything fell out. The only one that worked was where the coffee pot was plugged in, so I had to keep switching things out to charge my devices. This place needs a serious update. It did have a great view of the beach from the balcony. Sorry for the negative review, but definitely not worth the money. The pictures are extremely inaccurate of what it truly looks like. ##### MICHELE Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### William Jan 5, 2025 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, communication ##### William Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Gustavo Mar 4, 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication ##### Gustavo Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Roman Sep 19, 2023 ##### Roman Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2023 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hyatt Place Austin Downtown](https://www.expedia.ca/Austin-Hotels-Hyatt-Place-Austin-Downtown.h5437747.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Austin](https://www.expedia.ca/Austin-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Austin.h21746.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott Austin](https://www.expedia.ca/Austin-Hotels-JW-Marriott-Austin.h8778760.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Austin](https://www.expedia.ca/Austin-Hotels-Hilton-Austin.h976145.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Austin](https://www.expedia.ca/Austin-Hotels-Fairmont-Austin.h18156638.Hotel-Information) > > [Marriott Marquis Houston](https://www.expedia.ca/Houston-Hotels-Marriott-Marquis-Houston.h14986044.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Hyatt San Antonio River Walk](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Antonio-Hotels-Grand-Hyatt-San-Antonio-River-Walk.h1848212.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Dallas](https://www.expedia.ca/Dallas-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Dallas.h24753.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express & Suites Galveston Beach by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Galveston-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-And-Suites-Galveston-Beach.h39353237.Hotel-Information) > > [Austin Marriott Downtown](https://www.expedia.ca/Austin-Hotels-Austin-Marriott-Downtown.h45866780.Hotel-Information) > > [ Hilton Anatole](https://www.expedia.ca/Dallas-Hotels-Hilton-Anatole.h22945.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Dallas](https://www.expedia.ca/Dallas-Hotels-Fairmont-Dallas.h18280.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Galvez Resort, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Galveston-Hotels-Hotel-Galvez-Spa.h8509.Hotel-Information) > > [The LINE Austin](https://www.expedia.ca/Austin-Hotels-The-LINE-Austin.h23193716.Hotel-Information) > > [Omni Dallas Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Dallas-Hotels-Omni-Dallas-Hotel.h4488581.Hotel-Information) > > [Omni Barton Creek Resort & Spa Austin](https://www.expedia.ca/Austin-Hotels-Omni-Barton-Creek-Resort-Spa.h687230.Hotel-Information) > > [The Woodlands Resort, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.ca/Conroe-Hotels-The-Woodlands-Resort.h25794.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Galveston Island Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Galveston-Hotels-Hilton-Galveston-Island-Resort.h4553.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Van Zandt](https://www.expedia.ca/Austin-Hotels-Hotel-Van-Zandt.h10269315.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Houston/Galleria](https://www.expedia.ca/Houston-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-HoustonGalleria.h10620692.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express & Suites Austin Downtown - University by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Austin-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Suites-Austin-Downtown-University.h12302973.Hotel-Information) > > [Omni Austin Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Austin-Hotels-Omni-Austin-Hotel.h8540.Hotel-Information) > > [The Post Oak Hotel at Uptown Houston](https://www.expedia.ca/Houston-Hotels-The-Post-Oak-Hotel-At-Uptown-Houston.h22340244.Hotel-Information) > > [Embassy Suites by Hilton Austin Downtown South Congress](https://www.expedia.ca/Austin-Hotels-Embassy-Suites-By-Hilton-Austin-Downtown-South-Congress.h17694.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Houston Downtown](https://www.expedia.ca/Houston-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Houston.h20005.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Americas-Houston](https://www.expedia.ca/Houston-Hotels-Hilton-Americas-Houston.h976144.Hotel-Information) > > [The Tremont House, Galveston, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Galveston-Hotels-The-Tremont-House.h9121.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Dallas Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Dallas-Hotels-Sheraton-Dallas-Hotel.h43540.Hotel-Information) > > [Harbor House Hotel and Marina at Pier 21](https://www.expedia.ca/Galveston-Hotels-Harbor-House-At-Pier-21.h330270.Hotel-Information)
