Condo

We read the previous reviews before renting this property. The reviews were pretty spot on. We do want to add that the location of this property is off the main Seawall Blvd access and so this was peaceful and more private. The property beach access is convenient and less people. The pools and hot tubs are amazing. Plenty of sitting areas and sun and shaded areas. The covered parking is convenient from every floor and to the beach. The provided luggage racks and shopping carts in the parking garage by the elevators are very convenient. When we checked in, the process was quick and staff very friendly and helpful. When we got to the unit, the view is absolutely beautiful. We would stay at this property again for the view. Although it was just my husband and I that stayed at this property and had plenty of room, I could see coming back with another couple and have plenty of room. We loved the patio and enjoyed sitting on the patio and enjoying the scenery and sun and weather. My husband works from home and was able to connect with no issues and conduct a zoom meeting with no problem. It is true the master bed is quite high, as we laid in the bed watching the ocean and enjoying the view, we could see why the owners have a bed that is raised. You do need help getting in and out of the bed. I forgot the first night how high we were and almost fell out of bed. So be careful! Kitchen had everything we needed and everything seemed clean. Everything seem so work properly, we had no issues. There is a coffee machine in the unit but we did need to purchase some coffee at the grocery store. The building does provide free coffee on the 2nd floor and it was good coffee. The bathrooms also provided body wash, shampoo and conditioner as well. Plenty of towels and beach towels provided. Couch is comfortable and big. King bed is very comfortable. The bed in the second bedroom is kinda hard. We did not try out the pull out sofa. Unit also had a couple of old beach chairs that are pretty old and rusty but they provided a place for us to sit on the beach. We so much enjoyed this property, we would rent again if we come back to Galveston in the future. Thank you!

FAQ

Yes, our oceanfront rentals offer direct beach access and are located just steps from the water.

Beach chairs, umbrellas, and other beach gear are often provided at many of our oceanfront vacation rentals. However, they are not a standard amenity across all oceanfront homes. We recommend reading the listing description thoroughly and looking at the home's list of amenities.

Many of our oceanfront vacation homes and condos include a private balcony or deck with stunning ocean views, along with water views from many of the rooms. Although that is not standard among all oceanfront rentals. We recommend looking at all the photos and taking a property’s 3D tour to make sure the property offers the amenities you’d like.

Some oceanfront rentals, especially those located on popular beaches, may include an outdoor shower or designated area to rinse off sand. This is not a standard feature across all rentals, but is more common in properties where guests participate in beach and water activities. We recommend reading the listing description thoroughly and looking at the home's list of amenities.
