  Jerry W from Fort Worth, TX recommends this vacation rental

  Our condo was very clean with a perfect view of the beach. We loved having our morning coffee while sitting on the balcony each day. The beds were very clean and comfortable and the A/C worked great! Our only issue was no internet the whole time we were there. The desk manager told us they were working on it across the street however we never saw any work being done?? Strange that other rooms showed to have it. Finally the last night they gave us the password to the neighboring rooms so we could sign on that way. I don't know why they didn't do that the other days.
  
  Overall, it was a wonderful stay and we will definitely be staying there again.

    Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! 💙🌊 We’re so happy to hear you enjoyed the clean condo, beautiful beach view, comfortable beds, cool A/C, and those peaceful mornings having coffee on the balcony. We’re sorry the internet issue continued throughout most of your stay and understand how frustrating that must have been. We’re glad a temporary solution was eventually provided, but we agree it would have been helpful to have that option available sooner. Thank you for your patience and for choosing The Galvestonian. We’re especially happy to hear you’ll be staying with us again, and we look forward to welcoming you back for another wonderful beachfront getaway! 🏖️☀️💙✨

  Wonderful! The pool is usually crystalline, but the past 2 stays at Galvestonian, it's been a little cloudy. More chlorine needed.

  • Manager Responded on 7/27/2026

    Thank you for your kind review! We're so glad you continue to enjoy your stays at The Galvestonian. We appreciate you sharing your observation about the pool. During our busy season, our pool water is professionally tested and balanced at least three times each day to ensure it meets all health and safety standards. While the water can occasionally appear less crystal clear during periods of very heavy use, our testing consistently confirms that the chemical levels are within the proper range and the water is safe for our guests to enjoy. Thank you for your feedback, as we are always looking for ways to enhance the guest experience. We look forward to welcoming you back to The Galvestonian again soon!

  Loved the unit & very comfortable. Bathroom tub unit a bit stained & wall behind toilet needs repair. Also, xfinity did not work well on living room screen.
  Have stayed at Galvestonian many times & always been pleased. Lovely spot on the beach away from crowds yet not far from Seawall & Strand. Drove out to Evia community. Very pretty & ate lunch at Basin Bistro. Casual & very good.

  Our family enjoyed a wonderful stay during spring break. The condo was exactly as shown, the kitchen well stocked and even a working ice maker. We will keep unit 701 on our lust for our next trip this summer. As always the staff, especially Jose was friendly and helpful.

  a guest from Austin, Texas recommends this vacation rental

  The daytime experience is great in this unit but sleeping could be improved by better quality beds. The springs in the king bed felt old, unsupportive and squeaky, and I could feel every move of my partner which kept us awake. Further, there is a sign on the wall limiting the thermostat minimum to 70 degrees (I believe every room has this as our friend’s did, too) but the blankets and sheets in this room are made of polyester and are quite hot. Note some units have W/D but this unit does not.

  • Manager Responded on 7/19/2024

    Thank you for your review. We will pass your feedback regarding the king bed to the owner. We are glad you enjoyed your stay and enjoyed the beach and other amenities.

  Third visit to the Galvestonian. Expectations are always met. Facility is well maintained, and staff are friendly. Nice beach. Close enough to town to enjoy but far enough away to avoid the crowds.

    Brian, we are delighted to hear you enjoyed your stay with us and are a repeat guest. Thank you for your review of both the Galvestonian and the Island! See you soon.

  Bonnie H from Magnolia , Texas does not recommend this vacation rental.

  The air conditioner in this unit did not work properly, leaving the unit warm and humid. Everyone in my party and I had difficulty sleeping because we were too hot, and condensation kept forming on the kitchen floor, creating a slip hazard. The furniture in the unit was, however, very comfortable.

  • Manager Responded on 5/17/2024

    Charlotte, my apologies for the a/c unit. Please always reach out to the Front Desk during your stay with any concerns. We will be glad to address any issues. Thank you for your review.
