Awesome place. Love that pool--very resort-ish. Well, pools (there is a smaller one across the way and more shaded).Great to be able to cook there for family--fully stocked kitchen.Nearby pier with a seafood restaurant AND a 25-hour coffee shop.Away from most of the touristy parts yet just a short car ride away.

This condo was perfect for our little getaway to Galveston with my daughter and her friend. The girls loved the pool and I loved that the property was conveniently located. Everything we wanted to do was no more than a short 10 minute drive.Check in was a breeze, as Larry provided detailed instructions prior to our arrival. The condo was clean and we loved the beach/ocean view.

We had a wonderful time and loved all of the water options! There is a cold pool, a heated pool, and two hot tubs. Plus, the gulf is right across the street! The only negatives were that there are a lot of stairs in the unit and the bathroom is on the upper floor. My kids annoyed the neighbors below us with their running up and down the stairs.

This was a beautiful condominium, and the patio is very large and spacious, and has a perfect view overlooking the pool and most of the property, and you could also see the ocean in the distance. However, some of the furniture on the balcony patio was broken, and there was not many chairs to sit on. I did contact the manager for this property and said that they would be replacing/upgrading furniture. Also, the air-conditioning went out one night around 4 AM. I contacted the manager around 5:45 in the morning and he did respond promptly. He did get it taken care of by around 11 that day. I commend his quick response, especially since it was a Saturday. Other than that, place is fantastic, and so was the property manager. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to stay in Galveston and relax in a nice place.
