Great stay

My boys and i throughly enjoyed our stay at Dolphin Lair. It’s literally right on the beach. The balcony has a great view. Even caught sight of a dolphin swimming by. The condo is comfortable & cozy. The only slight negative is the property gets rowdy late in the week. Other than that it was a great stay. I’d book again.

It was the perfect getaway and the condo did not disappoint. The view is perfect. It was easy to get to and from the beach and the pool. Condo had everything we could possibly want and more. We definitely stay here again in the near future.

Great on the beach location

Our only beach vacation this year. It was great. Even with stormy weather in the mornings it was relaxing and nice. Living area was a little smaller than I expected but location and view made up for it. Great for just the two of us. Would be okay for a couple with a couple kids but I would have to say small for 4 adults. We would choose this location again. Thank you!

Beautiful Beach Location

This condo is gulf-facing with a beautiful view. It had everything we needed and the beach was great! The only complaint we had was that we could not get any sound on the main tv. We tried to get help but got no response.

Great view

We had a great time at the dolphin lair. The view of the ocean was incredible. Kevin with security was wonderful in helping get us checked in when there was an issue with our booking. We had some trouble with the TV since we don't stream at home. The unit was very clean, comfortable and well organized. Their information binder was helpful as well. We have stayed in several units in Seascape and enjoyed this unit very much!

Great location, great facilities but unit needs some attention.

The location is perfect. So close to the gulf and you don’t have to cross the highway to get to it. The pools and hot tubs were wonderful! Lots of seating. The unit was disappointing. The stovetop barely worked. Took 20 minutes on high to get the water to boil. We tried all the burners on different days. The icemaker didn’t work in the freezer. The couch needs a good cleaning and the other chair was not comfortable. The windows were very dirty and did not open. The blinds in the door did not go up. The pyramid bedroom smelled very musty and I found a big patch of black mold on the wall. The bottom of the upper bunk looked disgusting and the bed frame had gaps in the joints. I don’t think it was safe to sleep in the top bunk. On the positive, the washer/dryer worked well, there were plenty of glasses, dishes, silverware and cookware. The cupboards, sinks, dishwasher and countertops were nice. The TV’s in every room worked well and the porch furniture was good. We stayed 2 weeks. The first week was super foggy. Found out by talking to locals that it gets that way 1 week on avg somewhere between last few weeks of February through first few weeks of March. Just be aware when booking in that time frame that you may not be able to see the gulf from your balcony. That is not the fault of the property, just be aware when you book in that time frame. We would not stay here again unless it gets a good cleaning, beds, appliances and living room furniture replaced.

We had a fantastic time and loved our stay.

This condo is situated on the most beautiful beach and the pool was clean and fun. The living room looks over the ocean which makes for a wonderful view. The condo has everything you need and is clean and fresh. We had a wonderful stay and hope to do it again some day.

Awesome place with beach view and beach access

This property is right by the ocean with amazing unblocked views and easy access. Clean place. Near to walmart for all needs. Private beach access. And beach is absolutely gorgeous and clean. Very safe for kids with lifeguard onsite. Few things to consider while booking, its great for family of 4, but tight for 6. Plumbing is old, so sinks drain slow. However bathtub, shower and toilets work perfect. Stocked for couple of days, but you might want to bring extra dish soap, laundry soap, trash bags, dish scrub, toilet paper, paper towels, hand soaps. It has few beach toys, but no beach chairs. Bring or buy your own mat/chairs/umbrella.

This is Just What We We Were Hoping For.

My husband and adult daughter traveled with me. We travel to Galveston every year and this was one of the best places to stay. We have stayed at other condos at Seascapes and this was the best so far. We loved not having a road between us and the beach. The view was amazing. It was fast and easy to walk down to the beach.

Nice place right on the ocean!

Beautiful views of ocean right on the small deck. Unit had everything we needed, and was just the right size for my husband and I - would be tight with more than three adults. Some confusion checking in because we go in so late - and couple of the windows didn’t stay up and needed repair. Other than that a very nice place

Best kept secret in Galveston

We loved Dolphin's Lair! The condo was clean, beautiful, well-maintained, and right on the beach with a gorgeous view. The staff were responsive to our needs and the resort was in an excellent location, close to everything, and yet feels removed and private. We have stayed at other condo's on the opposite side of the Sea-Wall before, but after staying here, we will never do that again. We definitely plan on staying at Dolphin's Lair again.
