Weekend Ladies Trip

We all just loved this condo. The decor was very coastal and made you really feel like you were at the beach. The bedding was super cute and there were plenty of extra blankets and pillows for everyone! The master bathroom was just amazing, we all took turns to soak in that beautiful bath tub. There were really nice soaps, body wash, well stocked kitchen, even the toilet paper was top notch and plenty of it. This host really knows how to do it right! We all wanted to purchase a condo just like this one we were all so taken with the property. We will be booking this again on our next stay 100%! Thanks for all the perfect details and the excellent communication along the way. You guys are incredible hosts!!!!

We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The condo is top tier with beautiful decor and all the creature comforts. We felt at home. The master bath alone is a getaway! The wrap around balcony allowed us to enoy mornings outside. We had 4 adults and 4 kids and it was not crowded. Just add people and food and you're all set.

Perfect Condo for Families

We have a family of 5 and this condo was perfect for our stay. Very clean and exactly what we were expecting. We had friends stay in other condos in the building and this condo was well stocked and communication was excellent. We come yearly for the Beach Blitz soccer tournament and we will definitely stay here again.

Marvelous Mini Vacay

My friends and I had an amazing stay! I travel often I've seen a lot of VRBOs, and this is definitely one of my favorites! The entire place is nice and spacious, and the decor is perfect for the space. The cherry on top is that Primary Bath!!! TO DIE FOR!!! The wrap around porch, the view and the pool are all a close second. The pics are very well done, and you truly get what you see...which is not always the case. I look forward to returning! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

All things considered!

Came into Galveston for a holiday weekend boys trip to fish and relax. Emerald is a great property and this condo was perfect for the 4 of us! A true master w/nice king bed and 2 bedrooms w/queens… exactly as described. Someone had to get the pullout sofa, and he said it was comfortable and got some good sleeps on it. Super clean condo with fantastic amenities; great kitchen with all the utensils and enough plates for a garden party, the bar area was a great gathering spot for planning, chatting, eating and drinking, the rooms were dialed in, and the master bathroom is to die for!!! Superb location, as it’s within minutes to the beach, bars, and restaurants…. And easy access to the The Strand area where we enjoyed more eating and drinking festivities. Will definitely book here again and might plan our dates around its availability!!! Thanks for the great spot!!!!!
