Good location just concerned with cleanliness.
First impression was very small. Really can only fit maximum a couple and 2 small kids. But perfect for a couple. The condo needed updating and more space to put groceries. We moved things around to give us some space. The sheets were old sheets that have lost their elasticity therefore the fitted sheet came off during our sleep. That in turn let us see the mattress cover that was disgusting. We called for new sheets and a new mattress cover. We bought a new quilt as a blanket and put the old sheets, mattress cover, and bedspread in the closet because we had to make the bed ourselves. They did replace both the sheets and the mattress cover, but did not hear from the owner with an apology or anything. That made us squirmish about the place overall and how unclean the place may have been. It could be a very cute place with some updates and keep the bedding CLEAN!! We loved being so close to the beach and having that view.

Great condo
The condo was just as described and met all our needs. The condo is on the bottom floor, so the only negative is that the view of the water is partly obstructed by the property management building. If the patio furniture had the tall chairs that many of the condos have, it would help.

Nice Place
We really enjoyed our stay here! It was so nice to just walk out the back of the property right onto the beach. We went out multiple times a day. The condo was clean and had what we needed. We would stay here again.

Great fall break getaway
Condo was clean and ended up being great for our family of 4. Kids loved the bunk beds. Kitchen was fairly well stocked though we mainly just cooked breakfast during our stay. Access to the beach was great! Would definitely stay here again. It was my husband's first trip to Galveston and he is ready to go back!

Needs improvements
We arrived and it was an easy check-in which we were thankful for. The condo was as described but the cleanliness could have been better. I pulled blankets from the closet and it was clear they were dirty. Also the floor was squishy with water coming up out of the seams of the flooring when you stepped. I called maintenance and left message with no return called. Called back & got someone who then sent someone who came and confirmed something was wrong. He left and never came back and we never got an update. We dealt with our stuff on the floor getting wet and when we walked our feet and shoes were wet which was very frustrating. I will say the bed was very comfortable. The refrigerator and air worked really good.

Charming crab
The charming crab was a very nice place, but it was not clean. The vent filter was very dirty. I called, texted and sent messages to property manager to change it but no one came to change the filter. The living room had cookies and punch spills on the floor and one of the tables . The bathroom was not clean. The beds did not look like they had been changed. Housekeeping did come and did a very good job of cleaning the place but overall I would say next time if I select this property again, please make sure it is clean before anyone else come into it. Property management stop communicating with me on the filter without changing it.

Safe and Clean location.
This was a Mother’s Day trip with my daughter and elderly mom. Being close to the beach with a ramp and having an elevator made our trip. Having an on-site security guard made us feel safe and all the staff we encountered were friendly and helpful. The pool area was well maintained and having an adult hot tub was a nice bonus. The condo was clean and well stocked. We will definitely book here again if we are able to return.

Nice Beach - Nice Condo- Nice Pool/Hot Tub
The property is well kept. Security guard manages who enters onto property. The pool area is perfect for all ages. Big pool and 3 hot tubs; all ages, 21 and older and kiddie pool. Beach is right over the bridge. A quick walk to the ocean. The condo was clean with plenty amenities. Great spring break location away from the crowds near the piers.
