Like the title says, overall our stay was pretty great, but I think the new ownership was working out some kinks.
First, the kinks: It was a lot more investment on the front end than any other VRBO stays have been for us. We had to create a new account with a separate website to manage our booking (through the Evolve property company). Checkin was pretty rough (no car gate code provided, or walking gate code, or parking spot number. Friendly people helped us with these, as the person assigned to help us with on-site issues took a while to respond to our texts, though she was helpful overall); instructions while we were there were sparse (no instructions for waste disposal; how to operate the televisions); the sliding patio door was almost too hard for my 9 and 11 year olds to open and close.
Positives: the condo was fantastic, overall. It is really laid out well, with really good space in the bedrooms and bathroom areas. The kitchen was great, as well. The pool area was perfect, with plenty of room to exercise or let the kids play. We were there on a holiday weekend, and it was never crowded (and frequently we had the whole thing to ourselves). The condo is located right across Seawall Blvd from the beach, and though it was a little scary to cross with a family, we loved being so close. Everything you could want, in terms of restaurants, shops, and groceries, etc. is really close, too (within a few miles).
In the end, our stay was great, even though Evolve was still clearly working out some kinks (a little moreso than I expected, given the price). Assuming the property management company improves as time wears on, I'd recommend this property to anyone looking to get away, relax, and enjoy all that Galveston has to offer.
