Location was great! Right next to Walmart and super close to the beach. It said there was a heated pool (which is one of the reasons we chose this condo), but when I asked the person in the office about it, she said the heater hadn’t worked for a while. Other than that, everything was as described.

A great getaway from the busy city

The owners were so organized and thorough with the entire check in and out process. The unit was very clean, and my child just loved the twin pull out bed. It’s a great unit for couples or small families. Easy access to the pools and the beach. I would definitely recommend. Thank you all for such a wonderful stay! We really needed some family time and the beach.

As Advertised inside and out.

The two pool areas were very peaceful, able to get full sun and reduce the wind. The traffic light at the corner of property was necessary for getting across the street to the beach. The beach there is fabulous for walking.

Amazing experience

My wife and I traveled to Galveston with our two kids, 4 and 2 year old, as our family vacation this year. We came across this rental property which we found to be our best pick from the available options. However, after having stayed here for a week, we are glad we chose it. The apartment was spotless. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals. The freezer stopped working before we arrived and the owner called us ahead of time and took care of the problem the next day without disturbing any of our vacation time. The kids loved the pools on-site and the beach which was across the street. We loved the location of this property which was very close to everything. The check-in was quick and easy. We received ahead of time email communications from the owner of what to expect and how to access the property. Everything was amazing. We definitely will be staying here again in the future. We highly recommend this property and owner.

Office refused help with heavy luggage to upstairs unit. Steep, dangerous, concrete stairs. Parking in front roped off. Oven and stove needed cleaning. Satisfactory for short stay, but could use updating. Good location for resort, but not for the unit we had. Construction going on while we were there, but it wasn't a problem. Construction people more helpful than resort employees.

The stay overall was great for the days we had power due to the hurricane. We were out of power 4 out of 7 days we were booked. We had to end up moving to a different unit due to damage and then when the power came back on we had to move back due to the new condo not having AC. It was a total nightmare for our first family vacation but we couldn’t rebook due to our jobs not allowing us to change our days off, we were only told they would refund us if we left early but we couldn’t due to the hurricane taking out my husbands windshield. I just feel we should at least get a refund for the days we were out of power and unable to sleep in the condo due to the heat. It wasn’t a pleasant time going to the beach and coming back with no pool or AC to cool off.

Got out of Houston

Needed some R&R. Daughter just graduated High School on Friday. My wife works with Special Needs students and I am "retired". Needed a break from our 5,000,000 neighbors. Stayed at the property on a Monday and Tuesday night getaway. We needed it. The property was awesome. Centrally located but out of the high $$$$$ area. The kitchen was bigger than ours and had everything we needed. The spacious open floor plan was much needed fresh air. We spent a lot of time at the beach and at the Strand "shopping" (for Coronas). The bed was awesome and the room was nice and dark. This is the 3rd time working with Jom and Monica and I would not rent from anyone else. They were there when we needed them and so easy to work with. Pool was nice and quiet and was a nice detour as we wound down from our hectic day.
