From the moment we arrived for a family getaway, this beach home completely exceeded expectations…read more The space is incredibly spacious--perfect for a large group--yet it never once felt crowded or overwhelming. Everyone had room to relax, unwind, and enjoy their own space, which made the entire stay feel effortless. Especially with 5 adults and 4 kids, plus a dog! We were impressed at how the owners went above and beyond to create an exceptional experience. It's clear they spared no expense in making this home not just beautiful, but incredibly functional and welcoming. Everything you could possibly need is already there, including a hot tub to sit back and relax. It was such a warm space, it made us feel instantly at home. This place is mere feet from the beach and ocean, and definitely was not a place for party-zone. It was quiet, serene, and full of fantastic memories made! We even had a family photo shoot on the beach! We would come back in a heartbeat.

We came as an extended family of 9, which included 4 kids under aged 9. We never felt crowded in the home and the boys LOVED their bunk bed room. On cold spring days when the breeze was a little too chilly for a beach walk we had a wonderful time playing games and working puzzles - all host provided. And who could resist soaks in the hot tub to warm up? The beach is a short walk away and this is a quiet neighborhood. If you want a party house, this is not the house or section of the peninsula for you. If you want a restorative time away in comfortable surroundings, this is most definitely the place to go. It's the best rental property we've stayed in!

The inside has wear and tear, 4 TV's, only the one in the living room worked, the three in each bedroom would not, we contacted swedes office and they sent a guy out but he never came back with the part he said was needed to get them going. Would not recommend, this place needs a lot of TLC. Rented 4-7-9 2018 for daughters wedding.

We just recently spent a week at Dellanera and we were just feet away from the beach. We had a…read moregreat view oceanside from our RV windows. They have a nice laundry facility, game room, showers and restrooms. They had conveniently placed trash receptacles that were emptied in a timely matter daily. I like that we were just minutes from the activity on the island, yet we felt we were away from it all.....peaceful. There is an upper deck with lots of seating to enjoy the sunrise or sunset. We plan to go back again next year....

Built in 2003, the Royal Caribbean Mariner of the Seas is part of the Voyager class of ships. My…read morebrother and I took a 5 night cruise in November, part 3 of a 3 week trip out of Galveston to keep accumulating nights for us to attain status while taking advantage of casino offers that my brother continues to get. Compared to the newer boats in the RC lineup, the Mariner doesn't stack up well in amenities, but had some really nice bright spots that I really enjoyed. The Mariner was refurbished in 2018, and can carry about 3,114 passengers at double occupancy. Like other RC ships, it has an ice skating rink in Studio B, live shows at the Royal Theater, and casual buffet meals at the Windjammer Cafe for all three meals of the day. Good: - We arrived at the cruise terminal 10 REALLY early, about an hour before check-in was even open. It was an unseasonably cold and blustery day in Galveston, so the nice security folks allowed us to wait inside. At 9:20, people were allowed to check-in. It went very smoothly (including seated waiting in a room with excellent free Wi-Fi), and we were able to get onto the boat around 10:30. - Room: sink had a stopper for easier hand washing. Beds were comfortable. Had US type power outlets near nightstands, so no need for extension cord. - Really enjoyed the prime rib at main dining room, the udon noodle stir fry at the buffet and sushi/sake tasting at the Japanese themed restaurant Not so Good: - extension cords are not allowed on the ship due to risk of electrical fires. Thus mine was confiscated and I had to pick it up at the security desk at the port after the cruise completion. - there isn't a many indoor places to hang-out as on the newer boats. It was cold enough on sea days to the outdoor pool area couldn't be used. The only real large indoor area is the Star Lounge on Deck 5, and they had it closed for an art auction. - Room: water problems during trip including brown water at the beginning of trip and having to turn off water completely towards the end of the trip. simple temperature controls didn't change the room as quickly as newer boats. Smaller TV and zero USB ports. - Due to weather, canceled our 2nd port stop to Costa Maya, replacing it with 2nd stop at Cozumel (though at different port). Because the port fee for Cozumel is slightly lower than Costa Maya, we got a small credit on our shipboard account for the difference.

Galveston Island RV Park has decent spots and it has a little man made lake and it is not far from…read morea lot of the main areas which is convenient. They do have water and sewer hookups along with electric hookups so that part is solid. The downside for me was the upkeep. The showers had hair on the walls and mucus on the floor that looked like it had not been cleaned in a while and one of the bathrooms was missing a hook so there was nowhere to hang a towel or any clothes. They have a little bench inside but it's hardly big enough to put much on. I am not sure if they leave the doors open at night but every morning when I went to shower I was killing mosquitoes and other bugs. They advertise a convenience store but I never saw it open once. They have a laundry area and they offer wifi but the wifi was not great. Anytime I have to switch over to my cellular data that tells me the wifi is not doing much. The gentleman running the place also was not very friendly or helpful. With a little more attention and care it could honestly be a decent spot. It is just not really a place for kids because there is no pool or playground, just RV stalls, a picnic table and the building for showers, laundry and restrooms. Pretty basic overall.

We couldn't even stay there for more than 13 hours due to the amount of mold. We got in late so we had no choice but to stay until the morning, everyone woke up sick. When we asked for a refund airbnb will not directly credit the funds they are making us choose a host payout method that will force us to fill out tax papers and takes 1.5% of the funds. The host is only offering a partial credit because she has determined the condo was clean. Appalled and disgusted that they will take advantage of families and put them in potential health risks. I have pictures and proof of all the mold, the toilet not working, the dishes caked on with food, the sliding glass door had no handles and what was there was broken off. Everything was covered in dust and overall grimmy. Cathie has stated that it is professionally cleaned and that she also has allergies so to her it was fine. I do not believe cathie has been in this property in months. It did not look anything like the photos. The condo needs to be reported to the health dept due to the amount of mold.
