This place was awesome! The condo was extremely clean - so clean that I didn’t even use my packed sheets on the main bed. This is truly a testament to the cleanliness of this place because I will not sleep with sketchy bedding…We were blessed with parking right in front of the front porch to the unit so it was super convenient. Directly across Seawall Blvd is Galveston beach. A beautiful view at any time of day.
