Great location and stay for myself, wife, child (2yr) and my mother and father. One thing id suggest is more information about parking situation and pricing so you can plan accordingly for street or nearby lots for coming/going, arrival and overnight.

New Years Eve on The Strand

Great location! Checked in with the family and with the shops right below we hit the town. Amazing atmosphere both inside and outside the building. Other people who stayed in the building were very nice and no issues. Will stay again.

This was an unusual stay, it took 20 minutes to enter the property the codes wouldn't work and it took that long sitting in the heat for them to issue another code. The property was great once we entered. wouldn't advise the property if you have trouble climbing stairs.

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.

Great Place

We loved this place. Great layout and location. The building in which it is located is historic, so there are a couple of quirks. The deck/balcony was terrific. Solid chairs from which to watch the world spin around. Nicely equipped to prepare meals and have another couple of family over. I dropped the rating to 4 stars because of the internet reliability. TV is provided by a streaming service, but it was interrupted by buffering. It completely dropped out during the Super Bowl from the middle of the 3 qtr to mid 4 qtr. Finding the place was challenging as the street numbers go from 2118-1/2 - 2120 - 2124 and THEN to 2118. But find it we did! Wonderful location too. Would come back

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.
