Had issues with power in first unit . Mngr. moved us promptly unt was ok and well equipped but property as a whole is very dated and in need of ALOT of repairs. Elevator near our new unit was out and others had not been cleaned in years. Pool was a science lab ( I am not exaggerating we have a large inclosed inground pool at home and I do maintenance) it was FILTHY the two days we were there pump was not on and skimmer buckets were full of same trash. I witnessed a lady that claimed to be a “ owner” tossing her butts on the cool deck! Wow! It looks like they are doing some major repairs on street units but basic cleaning would go along way. If we were offered a free week end we would not go back. ( I hate to say this about anyone’s property).

Our stay at the condo could not have been better. The place was very clean, check-in process was easy, and the location of the condo was perfect. One of our favorite parts was the view from the balcony. We very much enjoyed our time at Sandy Smile!

My wife & I took our 2 grand daughters for a last minute get away before school starts. The facility was great and everything was clean and well kept. Location is perfect for getting to anything up and down the seawall. We will be back for sure. Donna checked on us regularly.

Communication with property manager was fantastic. Went above and beyond to ensure our stay went well. Condo was clean and well cared for. Had everything we needed. Property location was in the perfect spot across from the ocean and just far enough away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Galveston. Kids loved the heated pool!

Great little place for a getaway! Clean and well furnished. Easy checkin and great communication. Enjoyed the heated pool and hot tub. Beautiful view and gorgeous sunrises!!! Would be a tight fit for 6 people. Watch the planes and helicopters land and take off at the nearby airport (can be a little loud but still fun to watch!). Highly recommended.

Check-in and out was effortless. Our host was accommodating and responsive. The condo was clean, well-stocked, and in a great location. We had everything we needed to cook if we wanted to. We were within walking distance of the beach and did not have to drive far for restaurants or shopping.

Dave’s place was perfect for our my families get away. We rented 2 of his places and this property was for my parents. Everything was great. Views were amazing. Place was stocked with small items that we didn’t need to buy ourselves, which made it even better!

Quiet, relaxing weekend getaway with my best friend. The condo was very clean with everything you need to relax! Dave was so great to communicate with. And even checked in to see if we needed anything. 5 star service 😊

We were absolutely thrilled. The condo was perfectly laid out. Had everything we wanted. We loved our stay. It is just what we needed. It was very quite during our stay. We walked the seawall and the beach. Ate at the local restaurants. We will be back. We actually had three white owls fly right beside the condo and looked straight at us as if to say hi. Perfect getaway. Enjoy.

The host was very responsive to questions prior to arrival; after I arrived, I found everything had already been answered, or there was a an informational sign, addressing my question! Check in was super easy and accessing the condo was a breeze! You will find absolutely everything you need for your vacation. If it’s not there, you don’t need it! However, should you need anything, the Walmart is a quick 2 mile drive away. Be sure to read the guide that Dave sends you for suggested places to visit and eat… We found that extremely helpful. The condo was extremely clean and well-maintained. You may not be able to tell it from the balcony view, but if you walk out the front of the Maravilla condo property, the beach is right there across the street. We had an amazing stay!

The unit was clean, had everything it said it would, and had a great view. Dave sent multiple texts from the time of booking until we left asking if we needed anything and sharing information about the unit and area.

Our condo was beautiful and had a perfect view of the water!! It had all the comforts of home and was very clean. Dave is an exceptional host and made booking, checkin and checkout a breeze. He checked in on us to make sure we had everything we needed. My husband and I have already discussed coming back this time next year and renting this condo. We had a wonderful Anniversary weekend!

We found this property to be just perfect for my husband and I. The place was very clean very cutely decorated and Mr. Dave (the owner) was so helpful with making sure we had everything we needed and making sure we knew what to do. They even recommended some fun things to do and yummy places to eat! It was an overall great experience ❤️

The unit and the view were exactly what we were looking for. Watched the sun come up over the water each morning and it was quiet and peaceful.

My wife and I were looking for a place to stay for our anniversary weekend. We were lucky to come across this condo that has a nice view from the patio deck to see the ocean, which was a MUST for my wife. Beautiful décor and very clean. Dave was extremely helpful with tourist places to visit and great dining options. He checked in with us multiple times over our three day stay to make sure everything was good. I could recommend this place more not just for the space and the view, but for the great service Dave provided.
5.0
The place was simply perfect in every way!! Number one it was spotlessly clean which is a biggie for us! We wanted a nice view and it had not only a lovely view of the gulf but a view a a lagoon nearby. Also it was extremely quiet! The place was decorated tastefully and with lovely touches throughout. We felt quiet spoiled :) We plan to come back hopefully in the not too distant futer

Clean and well appointed condo on the quieter end of Seawall Blvd. The pools on site were perfect for my young children. Parking was easy and close to the elevator. Owner kept me well informed of check in procedures and I never had a single issue during our 4 night stay. Will suggest this place to friends!

My family and I had a wonderful mini-vacation at Sandy Smile. The condo was very clean and well-furnished. On-site pools were also clean and well-maintained. Quick walk to across Seawall to the beach, great location in Galveston, close to many restaurants and shopping. Would definitely stay here again!

The place was super clean and very close to the beach. My family enjoyed it very much much. The kids really like the swimming pool and enjoy the company of a couple of bunnies that are around the pool. We will definitely be coming back.

The owner contacted me in advance and gave us all the info that we needed. He advised us of a dishwasher repair scheduled during our stay and offered so many options to make up for any inconvenience that we may experience because of it. Did not disrupt us at all. Wonderful place! So many upgraded amenities. Beautiful condo! Will definitely stay again!!

We enjoyed our condo. It was located in a great part of town and the property was extremely clean. Remodeling was being done in the front of the property, but it didn’t affect anything. The pools were beautiful . Inside, our room was cute and clean. Everything you could need was provided. We would come again and have already recommended it to family.

This is the 5th time staying in Galveston, and by far the best.
Condo was very clean, well organized, and everything was in excellent condition. Next trip I'll be looking at Dave's properties for another pleasant stay.
