Clean, well appointed condo with an excellent view of the ocean and only steps away from the beach. Communication was excellent. Would stay there again!

The condo was well maintained. It had a fully equipped kitchen. The view off the balcony of the ocean was beautiful. The condo had every thing for young kids, crib, highchair, and a closet full of beach toys.
Only complaint was neither pool was heated as advertised.
Overall a 5 star condo. Will definitely be returning to this condo for my next visit

Property was large for our family. Had beach towels and toys at the ready. Beach was walkable -just across the Main Street. Easy access! Gated property, so secure. Pools were fun for kids. No too crowded. Close to lots of fun activities. Drove-to hot to walk. Tub drain issue in one bath, but we made due. Property managers were responsive in minutes. Only negative was kids room had no tv, but not a deal breaker. Kitchen was well stocked with equipment, although we did no cooking.

Our family stayed at this apartment 3 nights in July. Everything inside was in good condition and working properly. The kitchen is very well equipped for cooking different meals. The location is excelente, right across the street from the beach. Good view from the balcony. The apt complex areas were clean and organized. Easy access but secure. Beautiful swimming pools.

Jom and Monica are ideal hosts. Communicative, prompt and accommodating. We rented Driftwood Dreams for a dance competition, and brought a long our family of six! The condos are a perfect location - on the main strip, very close to the beach-but just down far enough to be out of the very busy parts of the beach. The condo is packed with everything you need. Dishes, towels, beach tools, coffee, a cooler for the pool, and plenty of space. We also appreciated there is plenty of communal eating spaces in the kitchen and back patio. If we had any wishes, it would be some of the small wear and tear - some of the bathroom rugs had minor staining, the fridge had a small leak and some of the blinds were broken. I would 100% stay here again and trust that the managers will work to make the stay comfortable.

Wonderful, clean property right across from the beach. The only downside was the hot tub was broken while we were at the condos (not the owners fault but still a bummer). Easy process for checking in and checkout!

This was our first booking on vrbo, and the stay was excellent. It was kind a last minute booking, but glad that we went for it. The stay was excellent, check-in was super-fast and the owners were highly responsive for our questions. Rooms were clean, amenities were good, location was the best. It has a view of the beach from the balcony. The property was very close to the beach and walkable distance from Wal-mart.

This condo was perfect for 7 of us! Everyone enjoyed the condo and how close it is to everything. Kids loved the sand toys!
Little issue with the key code, but owners were quick to respond and a quick solution.
The property is beautiful! The pool and hot tub were nice. Really liked that it is a gated community.
Would definitely stay here again.
Also look and sign the guestbook!

The rental agreement was much more detailed than any other rental I’ve agreed to but I think they are just trying to cover all bases. The place fit our needs perfectly and the grounds were beautiful.
5.0
Our family of 4 had a very positive experience at Driftwood Dreams. I admit to being VERY bothered by a strong, musty smell on our 1st night there, but it did fade away after that 1st night. I'm guessing maybe the air had been shut off for a couple of days before our arrival. I'm mentioning it here to give future travelers a heads up and let them know that it will get better. 😉
Apart from that, we were very pleased with our stay. The condo was quiet, conveniently located, allowed us to spread out a bit and had everything we needed and more.
We would not hesitate to stay here again.

Perfect Spot
We had a girl friends beach trip here and the property was perfect for us. The beach was just across the street and 2 beautiful pools we could hang out at. The property was clean and well taken care of.

Lovely Pool
We stayed over the 4th of July weekend. Galveston was crazy busy, but we were able to avoid traffic and just walk across the street to the beach. The condo is towards the end of the strip, so while the beach was busy, it wasn’t as busy as other areas. Walmart and a gas station are within walking distance, also. The best part of the condo were the amenities! The pool was wonderful (there are two to choose from) and there was plenty of seating and shade. The gym was also nice. The condo itself provided everything we needed to cook dinners at home. There are directions and tips posted in the condo to help with knowing what to expect at checkout and how to access everything.

It was an easy process. Communication with the owners was great. They checked in with us, via email, the first day to make sure everything was going well. The condo was beautiful and had everything to make our stay perfect. We had our two grandkids and son and daughter in law. They loved the closeness to the beach and the wonderful pools on property

Jom and Monica were wonderful hosts. Everything was provided as listed and they reached out throughout our stay to make sure we had everything we needed. This is a great location. We could walk to the beach, the pool options were great when the surf was rough, and the complex was quiet and family friendly.

Great property! Right across from the beach access. Two pools and hot tub was an added bonus. Ocean view from balcony. One of the best properties I’ve stayed at in Galveston.

The location of this condo complex couldn’t be any better! Right at the sea wall, it’s an easy walk to the beach or drive to anyone of the outstanding restaurants or attractions on the island. It is a comfortable condo with everything needed to support your time at the beach. It was immaculately clean when we walked in the door. The linens and towels are of high quality which we much appreciated. I highly recommend it!
