From the balcony...what a view...Paradise!!!
Ahhh what a sunrise
Aerial of The Palms Condominiums. Unit #205 is on the 2nd floor near the front of the complex. Note the vacant lot next to the complex. This greenspace has been there ever since I started going there in 2005. Notice the short walk to beach.
You're home!
Gated entrance & no vacation rentals create a quiet, secure & private environment. This sanctuary could be your full-time home or weekend getaway. You can count on a peaceful & serene experience, either way. Behind the condominium sign is the west, street level, visitor parking.
Make this sanctuary your full-time home or weekend getaway. Not pictured bc of the palm trees on the right is a deck with lounge chairs and in the back of the photo, where the round table and chairs are, is the kitchen workspace with a sink and two grills. There is also quite a bit of seating on the left side of the pool beyond the greenery towards the outdooor kitchen prep area.

Stairwell is decorated too. Rest & relaxation are on their way.
Overview of spacious open concept living/dining/kitchen area. Many things to note here: soothing decorator paint color, cozy gas log fireplace with new stone facade, luxury vinyl plank flooring, ceiling fan, seating arrangements with a variety of options available.
View of living area toward the private balcony and ocean view. The chairs swivel and the Crate & Barrel couch becomes a twin bed by simply removing the back cushions.
Photo does not do this covered balcony justice. You can't really tell the size which is 4.5' x 9'.2". This is a good size balcony with plenty of room for 2 swivel chairs and a table. You also do have a good view of the water from the balcony. Coffee in the morning or drinks at night, enjoy the tranquility. Always an "ah ha" moment and a peaceful retreat. '

With patio chairs...It's a good sized balcony

Primary bedroom is bathed in natural light. When you awake in bed you really can see ocean water. The electric hurricane shutters are controlled by a switch on the side of curtain. The custom cubby creates good storage and also for coming and going a breeze.
View from other side of the primary bedroom. This photo shows a better shot of the organizational wallpiece as well as a peek into the hall. The closed door in the photo is the large walk-in closet. Note the ceiling fan and LVP flooring.
Updated and with an ocean theme, this coral color is a great background for the custom white cabinetry, the quartz & undercounter sink, the braided rope mirror, the fishbowl netted lights and the weathered looking LVP flooring.
Convenient & efficient stack washer and dryer make chores easy
Breathtaking views of the Gulf from our balcony. This complex is very private and quite unique for Galveston as there are NO VACATION RENTALS ALLOWED. The ramp to our parking is under the globe lights in this right corner. Our assigned parking space is below us. We have a storage unit there too with plenty of room for bikes, surf boards, beach chairs/toys & fishing gear. In other words it is a good size.
