  Have rented 1206 in the past. Lovely updates minimalist unit. 3 balconies; however the biggest one, which is our favorite because it’s deep and has shade was blocked as netting on rail was being replaced and not finished. It is such a comfortable unit. The shades on all the windows are great and easy to operate. Would rent again.

  We rented room 1206 because we were looking forward to the 3 balconies on the 12th floor. Upon entering the room, we saw that the main balcony was closed, and we were unable to get a comparable room.

    Wanda, thank you for your review and comments. The balcony door handle for #1206 is on order and sadly it did not arrive in time for your stay. We did offer you a discount for that inconvenience. We hope you will not let this one visit dampen your overall experience staying at the Galvestonian and you will visit and enjoy all the Galvestonian and Galveston Island has to offer.

  Susan B from Frisco, Texas does not recommend this vacation rental.

  We were extremely disappointed with the unit. This was the third time we stayed in this unit and we have been staying at the Galvestonian since 1986. The main outdoor patio was closed off and it is where we have so many memories of coffee in the morning, board game playing and enjoying the gulf air. Also, there were multiple leaks in the ceiling and the ice maker did not work. We had to go downstairs, get a key and go into a dark room to get ice. We were very disappointed with the entire experience.

  • Manager Responded on 8/6/2024

    Susan, thank you for your review and comments. Unfortunately, the hurricane had occurred just a few days prior to your stay, and we did experience some damage to our roof which caused a small leak in #1206. The balcony door handle is on order and sadly it did not arrive in time for your stay. We did offer you a discount for that inconvenience. We hope you will not let this one visit dampen your overall experience staying at the Galvestonian and you will visit and enjoy memories in #1206 again!

  Nancy G from Houston, Texas recommends this vacation rental

  This was my second time to stay at 1206 condo. It is so lovely . The condo has two wonderful balconies to view the gulf and the pelicans that fly by! It has always been super clean with all the amenities. It is so close to the strand and historic part of Galveston. Perfect for exploring. The beach is wonderful with many shore birds and shells. A great getaway.

  • Manager Responded on 5/9/2024

    We love to hear you enjoyed your getaway! The views are amazing and watching the pelicans glide by is tranquilizing.

  Our condo was nice. quiet and clean. We were dismayed by the lack of access to do the beach...after traveling...Unusual for a 12 story facility. Service desk staff was marginally helpful, a bit stand-offish.

  • Manager Responded on 5/9/2024

    Thank you for your review. Our private beach walkover is just a few steps from the beach through a nice plush green picnic area with tables and grills. We are saddened to hear you did not find the Front Desk Agents helpful. We are not a hotel and try to allow guests to enjoy their stay. Please feel free to request a manager if you need more assistance. We hope to see you again soon.
