Photos and Description of the Galveston vacation condo rental
King Suite, Queen, Adult size Bunks, Leather Sleeper Sofa, 2 full Baths Sleeps 8

You will be staying in 'DolphinSmileVIEW', a new luxury condo sitting on the seawall of Galveston Island. Pam & I invite you to share our latest creation, a playful dolphin theme for the family while still saving a little luxury for you. Pamper your senses with soft new leather and sandy-beach colored tile.

Your shower spa experience begins as water cascades over the aqua water-fall bathroom sink. Aqua glass wall decorations, float next to sand colored tiles, bringing back beach memories from the day's activities. Then, explore the many shower options, possibly beginning with the tropical 'rain' shower head. Close your eyes and drift through a misty tropical rain forest, OR adjust the wand height to match your height and cycle through the many options; spray, mist or invigorating massage. Men, if you like to shave in the shower, heat the mirror (no fog) with a little hot water, turn off the large rain head and stay warm with the 4 body sprays. Too much fun!

Terrific Condo!

5 of 5
Submitted: April 11, 2013 Stayed: March 2013
The condo was exactly as reviewed and described. It was very clean, well-stocked, and easy to find and access.

The kitchen had TONS of basic stuff, with a nice coffeemaker, toaster, blender, pots, pans, nice knives and silverware. (The only thing we couldn't find was a cutting board - and if we had more time in Galveston, we would have bought one!)

There were cleaning supplies, dishwashing liquid, baggies, spices, etc. We did buy and leave laundry detergent and softener.

This is a beautiful condo, but only one of the outdoor pools was clean when we stayed, and the hot tub was also dirt...it was nice to use, but both the pool and tub could use a skimmer nearby...

Overall, these are nitpicky things...I would gladly return and visit Dolphin Smile if in Galveston again!

Dave, the owner, was great to work with - pleasant and responsive.

Thank you for rental of your property!!

- Katy and family

This condo was amazing, everything new and upscale!! My children loved the dolphin decorations. I have to mention the shower off of the Master bedroom, oh my gosh, I could have lived in it, waterfall shower head with the body jets! Dave was fabulous to work with and answered every question very quickly. We will definately be back to stay.

Submitted: August 27, 2012 Stayed: August 2012
My family & I stayed here for only 2 nights. The condo was just as described. The pictures do not do the condo justice, you have to see for yourself. Everything was just as described. Very clean and well maintained except for the master bathroom has some lights out and the toilet handle was loose. The owner responded in a timely manner and was very helpful answering questions. The balcony views were just beautiful. Plenty of sleeping space to accodomate everyone. The master bedroom was very spacious and plenty of room. The shower was the best in the master bedroom! The kitchen had everything you needed plus extras. The only drawback were the beds being too hard. We have therma pedic beds at home so they don't compare. Definately would recommend to friends & relatives & will definately return!

The view from this unit is fantastic. It is a very clean and well-stocked unit also. There were plenty of towels, sheets, and other basic supplies. The owner was very helpful and responsive during the pre-rental process. He answered all our questions, and was forthcoming with any information we asked. Also, the lady who works the front desk for the entire condo unit was friendly and helpful. The complex has an elevator, and luggage racks by the elevators -- which are great when you are moving into a condo with lots of food, luggage, and people! I'd definitely stay again if I go back to Galveston and need a place.
