Galveston Half Iron Man

cute condo; nice sized balcony; kitchen might could have had a few more utensils but overall good; great walk to the beach; loved the covered parking and multiple swimming pools; people above us walked/ran around their condo all night making it a bit difficult to keep the baby asleep but rooms were good size and comfortable. We came for the race and loved how easily accessible the property was.

Galveston Beach Stay

We really like the overall property. The outdoor patio was very nice and we enjoyed sitting out there regularly, though the cushions blew around a lot during the tropical storm winds). The kitchen had all the needed amenities and there was ample seating at the bar and small table area. Everyone slept quite comfortably and we appreciated that there was a half bath that could also access the shower/master bath area. The pool was lovely and the kids really enjoyed the time they spent there. Covered parking was nice to have but a smidge pricey. We loved that there were some beach towels available. Even though we brought many of our own it was nice to have some extras. We did love the proximity to other things and it wasn’t too far of a drive to get to most places and that there was easy beach access directly across the street from the condo. The only downsides to the condo were that the closet in the master bedroom was not easy to slide open and closed and that the air didn’t cool the condo off as quickly as we would have liked. Also the head boards weren’t attached to the bed or to the wall which was a little strange to us particularly because they kind of fell one way or the other with movement. Overall it was a great place and we would definitely choose to stay there again!

July 2024

Upon arrival the building itself was very dated. They were undergoing some construction, but I am unsure if this was related to the storm damage or structural updates. The check in process was smooth and signage to the front office was great. The room itself was clean and generous in size. When we arrived the room was 86 degrees. I waited an hour before contacting property manager to provide it some time to start cooling off the room in the event it was off prior to arrival. An hour later it was up to 90 degrees. We contacted the property manager who did quickly send over a maintenance technician. That was an odd experience as he didn’t say a word the entire time he was there and left without saying a thing. I contacted the property manager again to ask if it was fixed or not. An hour later he was still working on it. Maria called back at 7:45 and said that the units air conditioner was no longer working and they were going to bring a single portable ac unit. She asked that we give the unit time to work and cool off the space enough to make for a comfortable visit. At 9pm we got back to the room and it was still 84 degrees. At 11pm we finally connected with Michelle, property manager, and she provided us another room to stay in for the night. She did help to facilitate moving into a smaller room for the remainder of our stay. Although we were able to get some rest we were never offered a partial refund for the room downgrade.

Cozy

This property was clean, there were some minor issues like a trash can missing from kitchen, towel holder in bathroom was missing just a screw in wall. I called the property manager and they were very responsive. This condo sleeps 8 but it was a tight squeeze for 1 adult and 5 teens. There’s not a table to fit everyone to eat at. Kitchen was easy to cook in and had everything I needed! It was a cozy stay for our long weekend get away.

A few bumps in the road but mostly wonderful spot!

I was here with 2 friends and we each had a toddler on our hip. The place was as described, which was such a relief! We found some stray garbage which wasn’t ideal and there was a lot of construction going on in the complex (especially in the unit above us) which made nap times a challenge some days and the paying for parking daily wasn’t preferred but we loved the pools and the location so close to the beach! Overall we really enjoyed our stay here.

Great Vacation Spot

My family booked a last minute getaway to Shore Thing. It was just what we were looking for. Nothing fancy. Short walk to the sea wall and beach. Short walk to mini golf and go karts which was a bonus for a family of 6. The owner let us check in a day early because we made good time on our way. She was friendly and easy to get a hold of. If you’re traveling to Galveston, TX this is a great family friendly location and it won’t break the bank. The only thing that could have made this trip better was if we could have used the balcony, but we knew going in it might still be under construction. Also, we weren’t able to use the pool due to weather but we did take advantage of the hot tub on a cool cloudy day! Thanks again!

Nice pool and grounds, good location but high parking fees!

This is an older condo building but the unit was updated, clean and furnished with linens and everything you would need in the kitchen. We were disappointed that we were not able to use the balcony as it had a nice view of the ocean and we would have enjoyed sitting out on the balcony in the morning with coffee. The pools were nice and the grounds nicely kept. Downside: When I booked I asked if there was a crib or highchair available and never received a reply. Ok if there was not one, but the courtsey of a reply would have been nice. The parking fee of $10 per night , per vehicle is crazy. We had 2 vehicles for 4 nights that cost $80 PLUS TAX. How do they think we were going to get there? We will NOT stay at this property again for this reason.
