We typically stay at Pointe West or the Galvestonian so that’s what I’m comparing this place to. The building/pool doesn’t even come close to those. The pool at this condo is very small, faces the parking lot, honestly it’s kinda sad and my kids didn’t even want to get in it (although, it IS heated and we visited in December so that’s worth something). There isn’t a hot tub. The building is old, the lobby is tiny and not the least bit impressive, but it was clean and the staff was friendly and helpful. The condo itself was clean and nicely decorated. The owner has squeezed as much counter space, storage and as many hooks as she possibly could into this place and I love and appreciate that! There were beach chairs, towels and toys available, we loved that too. The walk out to the beach and the views from the balconies couldn’t be beat. My only complaints/suggestions would be the coffee maker, which was old and cheap. People on vacation appreciate a good coffee maker. We did appreciate the coffee that was provided though. My biggest complaint was the mattress pad on the master bed. It absorbs body heat which made me feel like a pork butt in a slow cooker all night. I was tossing and turning trying to find a cool spot (there wasn’t one) and this was in December. I can’t imagine sleeping on that in August. But with that said, others said they loved the beds and slept great, so maybe it’s just us mature women or anyone with a thyroid issue who are affected, who knows. Other than those issues, again, this place is a solid 4 stars for me. If you like all the accommodations, pool, hot tub, etc. or need 2 bathrooms, this place will leave you disappointed. But if you just want to hang in the beach and enjoy a great location, a little more budget friendly, I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here.
