My family have come to Galveston numerous times over the years. This year we stayed in Sandy Cheeks at The Victorian. We knew it would be walkable to the beach, Walmart and Sonic. The Vic had 2 pools, 1 heated, and 1 not. It also has a hot tub. We love the shaded parking on the hot summer days. We had the option of doing our laundry downstairs in a card operated laundry room. The elevator is handy as we wanted a 3rd floor balcony with a view for my Dad who is in a wheelchair. The 3 bedroom and 2 bath Sandy Cheeks unit had almost everything we needed down to a hair dryer and coffee machine. Kudos for the blackout curtains in the bedrooms! The kitchen had everything we needed. The full sized appliances was a plus.
We have dealt with multiple booking agencies and Coastal Waves is the only one that actually communicated with me, a couple of weeks out, that ‘the elevator’ was non functional. I appreciated this because an elevator was a must-have for my Dad. We were able to use another elevator, though farther away, to get around. One big negative in the unit were the lack of towels. There was 1 per person, so we did laundry half way through the week. A couple more kitchen towels would have been nice too.
On an added note, my brother and his family also stayed at the Vic on the 2nd floor while we stayed on the 3rd floor. We literally could see each other from the balcony and walk to each others’ place using the stairs nearby. This was an added bonus for the cousins who loved to hang out with each other. Both were front facing 3 bedroom units.
All in all our stay at The Victorian through Coastal Waves was great!
