Absolute Paradise | Gulf View + Community Pools

Communicating with Ryson vacation rentals was great! The direct texting made for quick response times. This did not end up being the house we were in because there ended up being a maintenance issue just before we checked in.

Beautiful view and very spacious. Pools were awesome though they were not heated. Close & easy walk to beach. It is on a main road which is pretty loud & noisy so we kept windows & balcony closed most of the time, but view was still worth it. Room is a little outdated but fair for the price & size & amenities. There was a slow leak in the smaller bathroom ceiling from the AC that we informed the property management about.

The veiw is wonderful for morning coffe just needs bar stools so you can see over wood railings. Was right at the beach very nice condo would recommend condo is on the third floor

Everything was great my only suggestion would be put some kind of net of on the balcony be we couldn’t enjoy it do to the pigeons and there poop

The condo was clean and had a great view of the beach. Just steps from the beach is a little misleading in the description. The traffic on Seawall Blvd is so bad we generally had to walk about a block and a half down to the light and across which was a pain. Also, the traffic sound was far noisier than expected and we couldn't enjoy the balcony or even hear the ocean waves. All night long the traffic noise could be heard. At one point I thought a window was open it got so loud but the window couldn't even be opened.

The location is good as it is directly across from the beach and the walmart is adjacent. It is a bit too far to walk to pleasure pier and the restaurants. The pools and such on the property are great. Check in is done at a different offsite location about 5 mins away. Then you must drive to the condo front office. There you have to pay 40-50 for the limited parking and get wristbands for the pool use. The bands are cheap paper and break after first use so you have to go back everyday to get new bands. Not an ideal check in. The condo has a smell, maybe mildew. The AC works great but if you open the balcony door all that cold air is gone immediately. The balcony door is faulty and will not slide open/closed without great effort. I read prior reviews about the difficulty getting something fixed and I am there to enjoy myself not play maintenance inspector so I didnt bother. It rained while we were there and water was coming in at the bottom where the rails are. Probably the reason for the smell. The carpets are all stained. The dishes and appliances are all in good shape. Washer and dryer works well. There are box fans in the condo closet for use which was very helpful to drown out street noise which wasnt that bad. Showers are excellent. All in all great place except the patio door, the check in/parking, and the smell.

Everything was fine for the most part. Beautiful view. Needs a couple upgrades - mattress, sliding door gets stuck easily (very tough). The kitchen was well stocked with dishes. Is was nice to have kitchen and bathroom soap samples. We didn’t realize we needed to climb 2 long flights of stairs. The pool area was very nice.

We came to Galveston for my daughter’s cheer competition and then spent the weekend there. This condo was perfect for us including my husband and two kids. The views were exactly what I hoped for, beach access was super easy and convenient, and we even had a little visitor we enjoyed on the balcony.. a sweet little pigeon had made her nest in the corner and was protectively sitting on her eggs during our stay. We had a wonderful time here and it was worth every penny spent!!

We had a lovely time at this condo. We enjoyed the pool, hot tub, and having the view of the ocean with cover balcony was one of our favorite features!

This oceanfront condo is on the third floor of a lovely well maintained, gated property. Two pools and hot tubs made beach playing and relaxing effortless. The condo included a king, 2 Twin beds, and a pullout couch. Images online are current to the home. We had a wonderful time- thank you!
