Great family friendly stay
Our family had a great time. The unit was nice with a great view. The location is far enough from the Seawall that you feel remote, but close enough to be within a short drive of the activities. Onsite there are pickleball courts, a nice pool and hot tub. The building is a condo tower, but the front desk facilitates check in and check out like a hotel.

Winter stay for kids sports
This was our second time staying here. We come to Galveston every January for my daughter‘s cheerleading competition and my son‘s gymnastics meet. They coincidentally fall on the same weekend, so we try to make a weekend vacation out of it. We love the Galvestonian and I have stayed here multiple times. This is our second time booking through VRBO for this particular unit. We had no issues the first time. The second time we checked in (mid January) and were hopeful to have the same great experience. However, the first night the heater did not work. We discovered the issue in the evening when we got back from dinner. We messaged the owner and she tried to work with the front office to see if we could get it fixed. Unfortunately, because we did not book through the Galvestonian, they were unable to help. As a result, our first night was very uncomfortable with the cold temperatures. It wasn’t what I had planned to prepare my daughter and son for their gymnastics meet in cheerleading competition. Thankfully, they were able to fix it the next day. However, no accommodations were made for our unfortunate first night, which was very unfortunate. At the last minute, they told us we could stay an extra night if we wanted to for free. But that wasn’t an option because our kids had school the next day. It’s disappointing that we had to pay full price for a subpar experience. We’ve learned our lesson.

We loved the room and the setup was perfect for us. The property manager is very quick to respond to any questions.The only thing that was an issue is the refrigerator is not a full size one. There wasn't enough room for our frozen food. We have already made reservations again for the same room.

Magical beach Christmas!
When we opened the door to our condo, our two teenage daughters gasped with delight! It hit all of the beach vibes: beautiful beach decor, stunning view of the beach and palm trees, and so much room to spread out. The bunk beds were sturdy and beautiful, the master bedroom was enormous, beds were all super comfy, and it had everything we needed to cook a great Christmas meal in the condo. The beach access was super convenient and the staff at the front desk were fabulous. We’re all agreed that we need to make this our annual tradition. The hot tub and pool were outstanding. We loved every aspect of our stay and the host had everything so well-ordered. She answered all of our questions immediately. I can’t recommend this place highly enough!

Very cozy family friendly unit. The views from the kitchen and master take your breath away. You get the palm tree line as well as the ocean and a clear view east and west. The beds are also comfy. The pool and hot tub and VERY nice, and beach town for nice food is just next door! The owner was very sweet and easy to communicate with! Highly recommend this hidden gem!

Really lovely place
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this condo. It was very attractive and comfortable, even for 6 adults. The beach was clean and serene, the Galvestonian staff cordial and helpful. We especially enjoyed the hot tub (the weather was chilly) and the view from the balcony. It is very well located - close to downtown an the Strand as well as great restaurants. No complaints at all.

We’ve stayed in Galveston mostly on the west end but this is the first time we tried the Galvestonian and I have to say this is one well maintained property. It’s just a very nice place to stay. You have a lobby area with a check-in desk so you feel very safe and secure their permanent residence living there as well so they’re making sure that everything stays to their comfort level as well. The beach is very close. The pool is nice. It’s very nice.

Nice stay, overall functional unit and decently clean. Great view but on a very low floor. Parking and check in super easy. Some of the beds/couches could use updating, but for a short stay with kids it worked out pretty well.

Fantastic stay in Galveston and this unit is super nice. Just need to replace the living room furniture. It has been well-loved! Loved the open floor plan and direct beach access. Pool is super nice and clean. Air conditioner was awesome! Only complaint is when you have to go down to the lower level you have to wait quite a while for someone to let you through to the underground tunnel to the beach. Overall, a fantastic stay!
