Summer Adventure with Grands 2025

Clean and great direct beach access which was key with two little ones. No busy street to cross and loved being able to take AC/snack breaks and get right back on the beach.

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.

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.

Property was advertised as 1679 sq ft but was less than 600 sq ft,couch was cheap and uncomfortable,pots and pans, kitchen trash can and patio furniture are worn and need to be replaced. Paint color,flooring and decor are soothing and beachy. Pool and hot tubs were great and well maintained. Very spacious pool area and well manicured grounds.

We love this cute little condo. The decoration of the interior is so cute and beach oriented. The kitchen has everything that you need. (Only missing the coffee filters ) The restroom was clean, loved the shower. I love that you can see the sea from the kitchen area. We had a great stay we will be back
