Great building

A nice apartment in a great building. The only negatives is that the kitchen was not well stocked; not even salt or sugar and the coffee maker was too small. Only one trash bag with not even one extra.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a wonderful stay in Galveston! The condo was comfortable and clean and had everything we needed! The front desk employees were also extremely helpful with my special requests. We spent the majority of our time on the balcony, beach or in the pool/hot tub! We did venture out one night for sushi at Yamato Japanese Restaurant on 61st- highly recommend their seasonal sushi menu!!
