  a guest from Missouri City, Texas recommends this vacation rental

  Second time at this property, first in this unit. For the price, its a nice relaxing place to stay. Conveniently located on the East end, easy parking. The staff was very helpful and polite. The room having been remodeled was pretty clean. There were some mold spots in the shower/tub area. Thought there would be a Keurig but the front desk gave me some coffee to use in the Mr.Coffee. The bed was probably the worst part though, platform, no box spring and lumpy hard mattress and feather pillows. The view made up for most of the small issues. Access to the beach is easy but remember beach footwear as the sand is thick and HOT. Pool looked nice, the grounds in general were clean and pleasant. Yes it is an older property and you can tell. But... as long as the rates stay reasonable, we would come back.

  The Galvestonian is a great place to stay. The overall experience was amazing. In Galveston there are only three Condo's literally on the beach and by far my favorite is the Galvestonian.

  • Manager Responded on 9/16/2025

    Thank you for your 5-star review of the property and your stay in #1205. We agree with you! Yes, The Galvestonian is literally on the beach: no busy streets to cross over and beautiful, unobstructed views of the sunrise and sunset.

  a guest from Decatur, Texas recommends this vacation rental

  We love the location and the atmosphere. The hot tub is usually an amenity we enjoy and it was not operational for us to use. That was the only thing that was different about this stay.

  • Manager Responded on 9/11/2025

    Thank you for your 5-star review of your stay. We do apologize for the inconvenience of the hot tub not being available. We had to perform preventive maintenance on the hot tub after the busy rental season. Thank you for your understanding and for taking the time to complete this review. See you soon!

  JANET R from Kingwood, Texas recommends this vacation rental

  We came midweek before Labor Day. It was very quiet which suited us as retirees. We loved our unit and appreciated the cleanliness of the whole building and the friendliness of the staff. I also appreciated being able to stay 2 not 3.
  It did seem we were presented with rules several times but I decided they must have had issues which caused tht.
  Ive been coming since the mid 90’s and have always enjoyed it,
