Great Stay!
The condo had everything we could have possibly needed. It was nice to have a cooler and chairs for the beach. The balcony has a good view and we were just steps from the beach. The location is centralized so we were a short walk or quick drive from everything we needed. We only used one of the pools, but it was perfect for the kiddos with the shallow parts and plenty big for everyone there!

Beach was directly across the street… use crosswalk! Far enough from pier to be quiet at night. Close enough to everything to get there quick and have fun. Watch the sunset from the balcony. Not a fan of the shower.

Galveston weekend for family of 5
The property was right across the street from the beach with very easy access. The two pools were very nice and we used these every day also. This condo was bigger than any others we have stayed in. It had a regular kitchen which was great because we cooked all of our meals. We really enjoyed staying here and would use this condo again in the future.

Truly enjoyed our stay at Driftwood Dreams. The unit was nicely decorated, clean and had new appliances. The balcony was a highlight - great to have coffee while viewing the beach. Walking distance to Walmart for groceries and anything else. The property was well maintained - pools looked nice although didn't use them.

Perfect Getaway Condo!
Driftwood Dreams was the perfect condo for my husband and me. The complex is very nice & maintained well, & right across from the beach. The actual condo was super nice and very clean w/all the amenities one would need. They even supplied beach towel, chairs & toys for use. Super easy access w/clear instructions & the hosts had excellent communication. Will definitely stay here again, or at any of their other rentals! Definitely 5 stars plus!!

It was so easy to book; pictures and details online matches the condo perfectly. We received all the information we needed, which made the check in and check out so easy and also easy to get into condo. Owners checked in with us after checking in to check on everything for us! Very good location; view was great! So many extras were provided in the condo! Good value!

Nice near beach condo
Is short walking distance to beach. Property was very clean, kitchen was well stocked as to cooking/eating items, A/C was very good (was quite hot outside) and kept inside comfortable. Owner's were extremely friendly, responsive and provided excellent information as to the property. Will stay with this owner again (they have a dozen or so properties). Bed is little on the soft side if that matters to you.

6 Great das at Galveston Island
We had a very nice stay in Galveston. Our apartment was superb. Check-in was perfectly prepared. We received our access codes in advance, well-described and on time. The apartment matched exactly the pictures and description. We had fresh towels, the beds were made, and the apartment was very clean. Dish soap and dishwasher tabs were provided. We enjoyed the pools and the gym. The location of the apartment is right by the beach and invites for spontaneous walks. We were highly satisfied, and all in all, the apartment is worth a 5-star rating.

Family fun
The hostess was very kind & helpful. The location was perfect. Right across the ocean and endless place to eat. The hot tub was super hot and enjoyed the heated pool. Only odd thing said was gated community. All gates we’re accessed by code only but the gate off main highway was always open and could be accessed by anyone. I would recommend this place.

The unit was everything advertised. Clean and well appointed. Many local dining options. Weather was awful and never ran across a Texan that knew how to operate a motor vehicle. Neither the fault of the property owners.
