East End Retreat < 2 Miles to Historic District!

Reviews

• Quiet, clean, comfortable spot to call home for about a week!

  5/5

  My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this condo and would definitely come back here next spring break! The first floor access made this a perfect spot for my mom that can’t handle stairs. The property location is close to everything on the island but far enough away to avoid some of the hustle and bustle of the island. The property owner has provided every amenity you could think of: clean towels, shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, toothbrushes (I know, right?!), seasonings in the cupboard, dishes, pool toys, etc. The only drawback? The line for the ferry could be annoying but was easily managed by driving all the way to the end of the line and making a u-turn. A minor inconvenience to get headed toward the seawall. We had excellent communication with the owner and property manager and really experienced the best hospitality!

• We loved the condo. It had all that we needed and even more.

  5/5

  The condo was nice. It had its pool. It was clean and well maintained. The condo had beach items to have fun plus skin care for sunburns. It had two very comfortable couch. It had a good parking. Also, the place where the condo is located is quiet and safe. It was very close to the historic downtown and the beach.

  The only improvement i would suggest is for the main room's bed to be a little more comfortable.

  It was really nice. Thank you!

• Clean and convenient

  4/5

  My family and I stayed here for a long weekend in the spring. The property was in an older complex with older fixtures and finishings. However, everything was clean and in good working order. The condo was conveniently located near all of the activities with the only downside being the traffic on Ferry Road. Overall, we found this property to be a comfortable and convenient place to stay for a long weekend in Galveston.

• Nice property, but owner needs to find a new cleaning company

  4/5

  The location of this condo was ideaI, since it was just a few minutes drive to the ferry to the Bolivar Peninsular where family lives. We appreciated how well stocked the condo was with supplies — and providing enough coffee supplies for our first morning was a welcome surprise! The master bedroom and dining area were inviting and comfortable, but we had difficulty using with the living room furniture (very soft, fine for youngsters, difficult for older adults to get in and out of). Unfortunately, the cleaning service did a mediocre job and we had to do some cleaning ourselves. The wet weather brought in bugs, and we were disappointed that the community pool was too dirty to use (there was mold, so obviously the pool had not been cleaned in awhile). None of these issues were the owners fault, but it did distract us from fully enjoying the property.
