Balcony + Gulf Views: Beachfront Galveston Retreat

Checking in was great, however once inside the unit, it wasn’t what I expected at all. Smelled musty, the curtains on the sliding door were extremely old and had holes in them and no locks on the sliding doors. It had a pole to wedge it from being opened. The bed was horribly hard, slept on the sofa sleeper, which wasn’t great, but better than the bed. The bunk my granddaughter slept on had a comforter that smelled of urine. The description stated it came with a starter supply of paper products and found nothing. Thankfully I did bring toilet paper. I did message the owner and it was delivered immediately. There was no toaster or blow dryer. The outlets don’t hold plugs. Every one I tried to use, everything fell out. The only one that worked was where the coffee pot was plugged in, so I had to keep switching things out to charge my devices. This place needs a serious update. It did have a great view of the beach from the balcony. Sorry for the negative review, but definitely not worth the money. The pictures are extremely inaccurate of what it truly looks like.

I wish I would have taken photos of this old, stinky place. Do not waste your money here.

Top Floor very last in row. Great view of the gulf to sit, drink a cup of coffee and watch the sun rise over the gulf. It was great to have a full oven with such a small kitchen. The mattress is very firm but we brought our own topper. Good location across from the fishing pier with bar on top.

There was vomit on one if the beds, parking was an additional $40. The apartment is a 1 bedroom. The “bunk beds” must be homemade with custom mattresses that are super narrow. The living room had so much furniture walking around was a struggle. Overall it was grimey and dirty. Would not stay there again.

The condo has excellent views of the gulf and an easy walk. The space is small and a bit dated, but the condo was furnished with most everything we needed. I would stay here again. The owners were quick to respond to my email.

I love this place because of the location and the view. I will definitely rent this unit again if available.
