Property information

Come experience the best of Texas when you book your relaxing getaway to this well-appointed condo with an ocean view. Just a short walk from the Galveston shores, this seaside retreat is perched at one of the highest points in the community, offering 270-degree views of the beach as well as the city. Light floods in from the floor-to-ceiling windows and sliding glass doors to illuminate stylish tile floors, cooled further by central air conditioning. Sink into the leather sofa while you surf cable channels on the flatscreen TV, or pick out a DVD from the provided library to make it a movie night. You can head down to the sixth floor and claim one of the shared gas grills to put a quick sear on some meat or fresh produce. Get a quick workout in at the shared fitness center, then do a few laps in the shared infinity skyline pool. Grab a drink at the swim-up bar, then revel in a soaking session in the bubbling hot tub. Leave your stress behind as you unwind in the shared sauna, then dry off and challenge a friend to a game of foosball or billiards in the shared game room.
