gtown. seashell retreat

nice property. New shower and bathroom was a 5 star plus. Bedroom was good too. The living room sofa is old but we didn't use the fold out bed. It looked broken. Ice machine on frig clogged up. Internet is old and pretty slow but served its purpose. I liked this condo and would rent out again if we go to Gtown!

Rental is as described

Overall, we had a great experience here. The unit is exactly as shown and described. Check in and out is simple. The bed in the main bedroom sinks to the center and could be very easily remedied by placing a support down the middle of the bed frame. The sofa does show stains/dirt from wear as others have mentioned but serves the purpose. We did not experience parking issues as some others have described. However, we did receive a parking warning despite paying the $10 per day parking fee upon arrival. The office failed to give us the parking pass to display in our vehicle. The property is great and close to area attractions. Loved staying at a pet friendly place!!

The property was nice. A lot of construction and noise...

We chatted with many other renters who also went through VRBO. They paid half what we did for the same type of unit. I questioned Beachtime rentals for clarification but was given a run around. The property was nice except for the construction of other units...4:30am the pounding started. Because of the cost, we will probably just rent a motel from now on...

Quick beach getaway

I was looking for a quick beach getaway before the school year started back up and this was perfect! It was walking distance to the beach, mini golf, and go karts and a short drive to Schlitterbahn, the grocery store, and restaurants. The condo was clean and cute with modern amenities. The property had pools and a dog park!

Bed needs fixed but clean property.

The property was very clean the floors especially. The couch needs to be shampooed but not a big deal. The bed in the main bedroom has a broken frame so it sleeps like a taco, that is what is keeping me from giving it 5 stars. The location sits across from the beach where there are mostly rocks so you need to drive down further but the parking was easy and it made lugging your beach equipment easy as well. The pool was clean a pretty big and it stays open a little late so the kids enjoyed that. We were able to use the balcony as well which is not the case for all units currently. You could see the sun rise off of this one so that was nice as well.
