Dave's property is truly a gem. The view is breathtaking. It is so nice to wake up in the morning seeing the beach and hearing the waves. Very relaxing. The condo itself is complete with all the things that we needed. We were able to cook since it has the kitchen stuff that we needed. The washer and dryer is a big plus. Bed is comfortable. Dave also responds to our message fast and checked on us on what we needed. Dave and Pam's place truly deserve the 5 star rating. Will definitely be booking this place again once we are back in Galveston. My family loved it.

The condo itself was spotless, and provided everything you needed such as towels, dishes, etc. It's not that big, and there is only one couch. I feel like the pictures depicted a larger space than what was the reality. The pillows need to be replaced in the bedrooms. They're extremely flat, and the bedspreads are clean, but are are worn out and need to replaced with something newer. The condo complex where this condo resides is old, outdated, messy, & disappointing. During our stay, the water was shut off for 3 hrs on Tuesday. The pools are not as they seem in the pictures as they need to be maintained much better. The lounge chairs are cheap plastic and need to be soaped down and scrubbed. They were extremely dirty. If I had know that this condo was in this building, I would have never booked it. I've stayed in bigger, much nicer condos, with better facilities, than this one and spent less money. WAY over priced for what you get. We loved our time in Galveston, and will come back, but will for sure stay somewhere else.

This condo was perfect for our family Christmas trip! Everything was exactly as described and pictured. We had plenty of room for family of 6. Everyone had their own bed-always a plus. The kitchen was just like home with plenty of pots, pans and utensils. On top of all that, Dave was an amazing host and had great communication. This is definitely the place to stay in Galveston!

We stayed at Dave's property with myself, my mom, my brother and his family. We were easily able to fit our large group in the unit. I looked at other units within this complex and couldn't really tell them apart online. After having been there, I can say that this one is likely one of the best. It is on the end and the top floor, so probably among the most quiet. It has great views of both the gulf and the surrounding area (windows on two sides of the unit). The kitchen was well-stocked. The only downside we noticed was the balcony railing seemed a little loose (so we kept the littlest kids off of the balcony). Would definitely stay again!

Overall, we had a great stay! When we arrived one of the elevators was down, which was challenging getting our luggage upstairs to the third floor. The next day we were able to find other usable elevators so didn’t have to take the stairs! The condo was great and very clean! I wished we had been able to use to balcony more but the mosquitoes were horrible in the evening! So that kept us inside instead of being able to enjoy the sounds of the ocean! He pools were great and we might have been the only crazy people in the non-heated most days but the kids loved the pool with the island! Thanks again for everything!

This is a wonderful beachfront condo in a well-maintained complex. Anything you can think of was supplied. I appreciated that there was an elevator and we didn’t have to walk up to the third floor. Beautiful poolside and beach views from the balcony.

This property was clean and well appointed with a great balcony. The complex is undergoing renovation, but we had no noise to deal with from it, and I'm sure the complex will be great when finished.

Everything was perfect and Dave was very informative, so much so that I didn’t even have to ask about anything during our stay! The pools were great - you can even see one of them from the balcony so we let our teenagers go down and we stayed upstairs! Beach is right across the street and the view from the balcony is amazing! They are doing some renovations to the front of the building, but it doesn’t impact where the condo is.

Such a great place to stay. 5 stars for everything! Condo was in a great location, loved the top floor views and the big balcony. It was so nice and super clean. Everything you would need to get you started is provided. Couldn’t ask for a better host! We would absolutely stay here again.

We loved our time at this condo, and wanted to extend it, but when you are in an amazing condo, it stays booked. I can't think of a single thing that our hosts could have provided that was lacking. Coffee, condiments, amazing decorator touches that you don't always find in rentals. These hosts are stars!

This is by far the best VRBO experience I’ve ever had. The condo was extremely clean and organized. The kitchen and bathrooms were well-stocked. We had everything we needed and more! It was so nice to wake up in the morning and have coffee and cream available. Extra linens for the sofa bed and dinette bed were clean and crisply folded in labeled bins in the closet. The view of the ocean from the balcony and primary bedroom were amazing! And the communication from Dave was outstanding. He checked in with us throughout our stay to make sure we had everything we needed. I can’t think of a single thing that could have made our stay more comfortable. I will book with Dave again on our next trip to Galveston!!

The condo was very clean and everything you need is there. The condo is at the back of the property which I liked because there was better parking for a truck. My youngest daughter loved the pool, and there was plenty of room. The hot tub area is small but we didn’t use it so no problem. There were people grilling by the pool which I thought was nice, and there are tables to sit at. The property is at the more quiet end of the beach but driving down Seawall Blvd. is easy enough. You could also rent anything you could possibly need including ATV’s if you want. We really enjoyed Murdoch’s, a gift shop that was huge. We also went to the Pleasure Pier at the other end of the beach that was a lot of fun and ate at Bubba Gump’s. All in all it was a great trip and the condo was a great stay!

The old grandparents decided to take the very young grandkids away for a few days. We checked in after hours without issue. The condo was very clean and comfortable, exactly as described. Things are labeled so you don’t need to hunt around for things. The pools and grounds were well maintained. Walking to the beach with two little ones was easy. Communication with Dave was great. He provided us with everything we needed to know about the condo before checking in and checked in with us during our stay. There are some renovations taking place at the front office area but it did not affect anything during our trip We will definitely book Dolphin Smiles again.

Dave’s unit is very nice and impeccable clean, just as other reviews have indicated. Beds were comfortable and bedrooms were spacious for the 4 of us. I did lots of research as to the best location to stay on the island and we were happy with this location. Close enough to most things and not too far away. My husband and I enjoyed our walks each morning down the seawall. While there isn’t “beach” directly in front of the Miramar, its only a short walk to get to beach area. Whether you walk to the right or to the left you get different scenery along the seawall. We enjoyed watching surfers by the Pier and also recommend dinner at Jimmy’s Pier. The actual building that Dave’s unit is in…leaves a little bit to be desired, but his unit itself was great! The pools were kept clean and we enjoyed using them.

Not only was this the cleanest and well stocked beach condo I’ve ever rented, but Dave went above and beyond to make sure we had every question answered and made us feel very welcome. Everything was very comfortable and set up perfectly to have an 18 month old running around. The balcony is huge and has plenty of seating. Couldn’t have asked for anything better! Great pools and good proximity to beach. It was very convenient to have Jimmy’s on the Pier close by for meals and happy hour! Would definitely stay here again!

We really enjoyed our time at this condo. My kids were over the moon to see a bunk bed, and when my husband and I wanted some peace and quiet, we very much appreciated the TV in the second bedroom. The kitchen was well stocked, even with aluminum foil and ziplocks that came in quite handy. The highlight, though, is the property manager. He was so welcoming, and I left feeling that I'd gained a friend simply due to his warm and open communication. We'll definitely return!
