Pool & Ocean Views: Beachfront Condo in Galveston

Reviews

• 3/5

  The condo is in a great location across from the Gulf with an excellent view, and the beach was just steps away. The central AC worked well, and the condo had basics like dishes, pots, pans, and blankets. The living room had a large TV with limited channels plus a DVD player and movies; the bedroom had a smaller TV/DVD. The kids loved the bunk beds, each with its own small TV/DVD. We brought a Roku and it worked fine.The problems were significant. The shower was missing a sliding glass door, so water went everywhere. We called right away but didn’t hear back for two days. Later we got one hour’s notice before workers arrived. They were already inside when we returned, were loud, one yelled on the phone, and they stayed until 8 PM. The door was installed wrong and water still poured out, with no follow-up from the contact. The bathroom fan, AC vents, and ceiling fan were caked with thick dust, about a quarter inch. On the deck, a strip had broken glass still attached with more glass scattered on the floor. No broom was provided, so we bought one and left it. The beach chairs were so rusted and dry rotted they fell apart; we replaced them with new ones.Overall, the view and location were excellent, but the shower, poor cleaning, broken glass, unusable chairs, and weak communication made the stay frustrating. With proper upkeep this place could be fantastic, but as it stands it was only decent.

  We had such a great stay here! The condo was clean, comfortable, and had everything we could have possibly needed. The view was absolutely amazing — we loved waking up to it every morning. The location was perfect and made it easy to relax and enjoy Galveston. We would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway with all the comforts of home.

  5/5

  Great place but the master bed is small and not big enough for 2 adults and very very uncomfortable. Great Location and balcony faces the beach which was nice.

  I booked this property bc it had so many good reviews. After we arrived, we realized that there were dirty sheets piled up on the bed and a pile of dirty towels on the floor. We immediately contacted Evolve who was sympathetic. They then contacted the owner. They said they would send over housekeeping. The owner texted me and apologized and said she was frustrated too. FRUSTRATED TOO! she was not staying in a dirty condo! After many calls and hours later no one showed up. There were no sheets for the living room pullout either. We had to sleep on dirty beds, dirty bathroom with a lack of toilet paper. Went to Walmart and got a lot of groceries, when we got back the elevators were broken. We had to walk up 4 flights of stairs loaded down with groceries. The next day still no housekeeping. The lady at Evolve said that we could purchase some clean sheets and we would be reimbursed. It’s been 3 weeks and finally was reimbursed for the sheets and toilet paper. They did reimburse us for one night and cleaning fees. That did not help the fact that we were staying in a dirty place. We could not find another place bc it was Memorial Day weekend and everything was booked. TOTALLY INEXCUSABLE! NEVER STAY THERE AGAIN
