Recent Galveston guest reviews

We booked this unit for a long weekend with friends. Absolutely perfect for what we were needing. We didn’t use the amenities although we may next time (will definitely book again). I had seen some reviews about the unit needed updates. We found no issues. We did move one cable box to the living room tv for more browsing options, super easy. Very clean unit! Tons of extra clean linens and towels. The beds were extremely comfortable. Pull out couch could maybe use an update but there was no serious complaints. We had guests sleeping on there too. I’d love to know what mattress toppers are used in the bedrooms because we all slept great. Kitchen had everything we needed. Patio is WONDERFUL. Such a big space and beautiful view. We loved that we could get onto the San Luis Pass beach within a few minute drive. That’s where we spent our time and it was so nice coming back to a large comfy space each evening. Overall, the whole group agreed we would book again! Big thanks to the hosts for such a perfect getaway not too far from home.

Well equipped and lovely decorated apartment with an incredible view! Perfect location close to the beach club but without the noise. We will recommend to our friends.

We traveled to Galveston for a wedding with two other couples (3 couples in our group). This condo was perfect for us. Clean, comfortable with gorgeous views. The lazy river on the property was an added bonus! If we travel back to Galveston I would hesitate booking this property again!!
