Lone Star Rally weekend 🏍️
We came in on Friday just a little bit early and we were able to get our parking passes taken care of while we waited. There is a new process for getting your passes. It’s very easy but sharing so those of us that are repeat renters, it’s good to know. The view was awesome from our balcony. However, I didn’t realized the increased level of noice that would bring. All good though, we were at the Rally for that very reason. Beautiful condo, we would come back to this one again for sure. The location is perfect, just far enough to be away from all the craziness of the Rally but close enough to enjoy and return safely.

Galveston birthday
Everything about the condo was perfect except that it had not been cleaned properly prior to our arrival. There was quite a bit of sand on the floors and bathrooms.

Late September - no crowd, perfect weather
We stayed 4 days m-th. Beach was easy accessible, beautiful ocean/beach views from the balcony, living room, and master bedroom. We had everything we needed after we ordered grocery pick up from kroger and then from walmart (very close to condo).

Wow!!! We had an amazing time at this condo! The condo itself was very comfortable! A little hot for our taste but it was hot outside so really no way around it :)! It was spotless when we arrived and such a comfortable stay! Parking was easy! The pools were so fun! And it was beachfront which was a surprise!! No complaints at all for our stay here and will stay here again for sure!!

Will not go through Galveston getaway management again
Brian with Galveston Getaway is beyond rude. I will never rent through this company again. Was never informed of a parking fee even though I had my trip booked for months. When I spoke to the management company, I was treated so rudely and kept being told I was informed of the parking fee when in fact I was never told. Took me arguing back and forth with Brian and listening to him whisper how much of a b word I am while this situation was sorted out. Disgusting. The lack of customer service is beyond and I will be sure to advise family and friends to find another rental company with better manners and communication about ALL fees for renting this property.

Breathtaking views and quaint
The pictures do not do this place justice! Best condo that we've ever rented by far. Cleanliness, decor, the view and location, absolutely perfect! I have 2 remarks, 1. I wish there were an option for a chain lock on the door as my toddler who loves to get into everything, was able to easily walk out of the front door. Thus, having to keep the recliner against the door for his safety and our sanity lol. 2. The pull out sofa wasnt like sleeping on a cloud by any means, it was an average sofa bed. Not super comfortable but definitely tolerable. We will definitely rent this gem again.
