Amazing Vacation
We had an absolute amazing vacation. The condo is better then even the pictures show. The beds are extremely comfortable and the rain head shower head in the main bathroom was great after a day in the pool or at the beach. The amenities are beyond what we expected. The lazy river is huge and the swimming pool is huge and shaded nicely in the afternoons. Both my kids loved the game room and the kids play room. The resort is a nice location, not in the hustle of everything but close enough for not a long drive or Uber ride. We went to the beach only once because there is so much other stuff to do, the walk to the beach was easy and close by and the beach was very clean and nice. We can not wait to go back again.

Girls weekend
The property was excellent, the condo not so much and when I got hold of the property manager about a problem she actually said she would return my money and I could stay somewhere else. The Armoire in the master bedroom will not open, it doesn't have any handles on it and also the shower has no hot water (I didn't even let her know about that after the way I was treated about the Armoire.

Quick time away
This was only the second time for me to use VRBO and I was a little nervous. It was a short 4 day trip with my children and grandchildren and I was put at ease by the owner's quick responses to any questions or concerns. The condo was everything that was advertised. Even a gift basket from the owner that was misplaced was mailed to us AFTER we left! The resort has so much to do that we never used all the amenities. One request for the owner - more cooking utensils and one for the resort - clean up a little of the beach area. Other than that we were very pleased and loved our time there. You will not be disappointed..... We would definitely go back.

Needs Updating
Disappointed that there were two hot tubs and neither one were heated. The condo really needs some updates. The bedding was in poor condition and when we stripped the beds when we left the mattresses were all stained although they were comfy. The kitchen and living room furniture is antique which i guess you can see from the photos, but very uncomfortable for sitting. the outdoor cushions have mildew/mold. Sorry but I will find other accommodation's if I return to Galveston.

Loved the condo & Resort
What an amazing resort and great condo too. Fantastic Gulf view from condo. So many amenities at the resort. There is a large pool with cascading water, 2 hot tubs, lazy river, heated indoor pool, 35 person theater (that you can reserve just for your family) and a great game room where games were free. Our stay at the condo was great. The master bedroom and bathroom were very well set up. Huge shower in master bath with a rain shower head and regular shower head. The Jacuzzi tub was a plus too. All beds were super comfy. Other two bedrooms were nicely set up to. No windows in bedrooms but that just made sleeping even better because of the darkness. We really enjoyed all the unique decorations too. Plenty of places to sit and enjoy the view and each other too. Brooke was so responsive and really went out of her way to give us info or respond to our questions. We would definitely like to come back here again.

Excellent Family Vacay
Smokers Beware - there is absolutely no smoking on the property - you have to actually walk out the gates and stand on the road. This is something that should have been made known beforehand, we had 2 smokers in our group and having to stand on the side of a busy road was not only humiliating, but it is also dangerous. A small area outside the front entrance would be so easy to provide. There are A LOT of rules - 3 pages worth, and the staff are everywhere to ensure enforcement. However, the property is beautiful, the staff are helpful and friendly. Indoor pool was a saving grace when it rained the first day. Everyone enjoyed the Game Room with free video games, pinball, pool, shuffleboard and foosball. Direct Beach Access, walking distance. The pools and lazy river were totally fantastic. The pool bar was only open for a few hours on Saturday, but that was fine as they do not allow you to bring your own drinks when it's open. The condo was comfortable and clean and had most everything you need. The view was spectacular! Suggestion - a pair of utility scissors would be nice.

Nice place!
This was our first time in Galveston, so I wasn't sure where to stay. I spent a lot of time looking online for a place, and am happy with my decision. The resort is right at the end of a long sea wall. Thankfully, there is access to the beach without having to cross very busy Sea Wall Blvd. The beaches aren't as pretty as in Florida, but I enjoyed walking on the beach in the mornings. We ended up spending most of our time at the pools and hot tubs, which were very nice. The theater room was fun to use--just reserve it ahead of time, and your family has it to yourselves! The games in the game room are mostly broken, but we did have fun using the shuffleboard table. The staff members at the front desk are very friendly, and were helpful in answering all of our questions. There is no longer any food or beverage services at the resort, but the grocery stores and restaurants aren't far. There is also a liquor and convenience store right across the street behind the resort. The unit itself was nicer than in the photos. It was clean, and had pretty much everything we needed. The beds were comfortable and we slept well. I could sit on the balcony all day and listen to the waves. The furniture wasn't the most comfortable, but we survived. Also, the water takes a few minutes to heat up, so you just have to be a little patient. Overall, we had a great time, and would stay here again if we come back to Galveston.
