Away from the crowds yet close to everything

Welcome to Galveston Island known for its beaches and rich history. Galveston offers many attractions such as Schlitterbahn Water Park and Moody Gardens where glass pyramids house sharks, monkeys and other animals. Visit the historical Galveston Pleasure Pier with shops, restaurants, arcade and amusement rides all out over the ocean. There is a train museum and two WWII ship museums at Seawolf Park. Johnson Space Center,
mission control, is twenty minutes away. Lastly Galveston hosts one of the largest historical districts in the country. The Strand District has the largest collection of early 19th Century commercial architecture anywhere in the United States. The city also hosts a half dozen or more of famous Victorian Style mansions open to the public. Come play, relax and enjoy the rich history. There is construction going on but not to this unit.

First time VRBO

VRBO website was a little confusing at first without help. Communication with owner was great. Facility should explain parking rules up front. We had a good time with no problems

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.

Awesome!

We had a great time staying at this condo. The condo was clean and had everything we needed and had plenty of space. The view from our balcony was probably the best on the property. The owner was extremely helpful and stayed in communication with us. The pool was amazing and I would love to stay here again in the future.

Very nice condo! I LOVED our stay!

My family and I really enjoyed our stay. I LOVE the view of the large patio balcony of the pool and the ocean. The condo was very clean and AC was very cool. So glad it looked just like the pictures posted. The property is clean and pools are sparkling. Thank you so much for hosting me and my family. We cherished our time here and I hope you will have us back!

Never judge a book by it's cover

The property was under construction. It gave an unsettling feeling. But once we finally got to our unit. We were pleasantly surprised. A few suggestions: keep a stock of toilet paper, paper towels, bath towels, and last kitchen sink hot water wasn't getting hot. Outside of these few things the stay was good.

Beautiful Views

We truly enjoyed our stay on Labor Day weekend. The condo has beautiful views directly facing the gulf, which was so nice to see out of the windows and from the large balcony. The amenities were great too - the pool area and huge and always clean. There are multiple pools, volleyball court, seating areas, etc. there is public beach access directly across the street which was easy and convenient. I loved that it’s just a bit further down from the main busy part of seawall blvd so we were able to avoid big crowds at the beach. The host is very quick to respond and is helpful. Thanks again and we look forward to staying again in the future.
