We were so disappointed with this property because the kitchen was infested with roaches!! The manager of this property was so awesome and found us a place we could move to, even tho it wasn't on the strand but it was a beautiful property. Thank you Vacay Time!

Galveston Stand Location
There were 6 of us, and we were going on a cruise and went over to Galveston a few days earlier to hang out before the cruise. The downtown location was perfect. We rented a golf cart, so parked our vehicles and just used the golf cart and then parked it in the parking garage. The outdoor balcony was also a GREAT Plus. The only thing that would have been nice, if the outside hallway lights would dim down at night. The first bed area upstairs, that light come straight in, but all-in-all a great place to stay.

St Patricks's Day
Every year we go somewhere different for our favorite holiday. This year Galveston. Location was fabulous for walking to all types of shopping, bars, and sites. The rooftop deck was great (except for all the rain). Sleeping in the vault is an experience. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
