Very well kept property with great pool and beautiful grounds! Nice and quiet beach away just far enough away from the busy strand, but close enough to drive and see the lit up Ferris wheel from our balcony in the distance. Only complaint was that refrigerator smelled horribly of fish. I called the property management company and they sent 2 sweet ladies out immediately to clean. We saw them clean it out with bleach, but smell was back the next day. It may have penetrated the plastic. Other than that, we would definitely come back.
Property was nice. Check in was a bit complicated because they did not have on contract on file upon arrival. It was sorted out quickly which I was grateful for because I had my wife and 2 kids with me. The kitchen had everything I need to prepare several meals during our stay.
This condo was the perfect little spot for a quick vacation. The property was well maintained. The beach was close and the pool was great. This is a very family friend condo, if youâre looking for a spot for the whole family or donât mind families enjoying the stay around you.
The stay and the facility were first class. The only item missing was a cutting board for slicing vegetables in the kitchen. The dishwasher is NOT screwed to the underside of the counter top. Each time it is opened the entire unit falls forward. This puts a strain on the power cord and creates a fire hazard.
I have stayed at Galvestonian several times in past year. It was very crowded andcmoisy ( holiday weekend) staff did not enforce shoes, beach cover, etc in lobby. People dripped thru and onto elevators disregarding signage. By Monday, things were quieter. I was locked out once. Front desk had me leaving Sunday..I just arrived Saturday for 6 nightcstay. I fixed chain in commode which kept water running in tank nonstop. During the week, I encountered and killed 2 huge waterbugs roaming in bathroom in middle of night. Hope I didnt scare neighbors w/ EEK! Wifi was in/ out over a 2 day period. Sofa futon cover was dirty, as well as area rug. Really need new rug and cover. Brown was not a good " beach" look. I love Galvestonian, maybe just not this unit, and definitely not on holiday weekend. As senior on limited income, spending 1500 for the week, I expected quality , just didnt feel it this trip.
Property was fantastic! Well maintained and condo had everything a couple could need for the weekend! Quick easy walk to the beach- also in a nice area, not overcrouded. Even rhough at East end of Island, very easy to get to restaurants and many different fun activities on the island. Whether you want a nice comfortable condo on the beach with a beautiful pool area with hot tub and plan to spend all your time there, or use as a home base for exploring the island
We rented this condo for a weekend getaway. It was great. Very clean and cozy and had everything we needed for our stay. Really enjoyed the weekend. Highly recommend staying here.
Well kept property as advertised. Small but perfect for a couple, possibly 3.
Right on the beach but set back enough that you hear the waves but not the people. Great view from the balcony.
Easy parking right in front.
East beach, where this is located, is quieter and less populated than the in-town beaches and west beach.
We'll be back!
The Galvestonian is a great property. It has a great hot tub, pool and is steps away from the beach. The condo is not luxury but has everything needed. This particular condo was not as comfortable as what we experienced before. The futon sofa in the den wasnât comfortable for us, but it did have a comfy chair in the corner. We had a few issues after check-in. The 3rd party company responded quickly by text, but didnât act for 2-3 days. It was a holiday, but I donât think thatâs an excuse. They were quick with texts but slow to act. I wish I could have spoken with the owner- I think they would have been more responsive. I could just tell they would be wonderful people. We enjoyed our stay and hope to return to the Galvestonian again. I wouldnât rent from this particular company, however.
My husband and I truly enjoyed our stay! Great location on East Beach - waking up to a view of the Gulf every day is fantastic! Loved the beach access for our daily walks and sunset views. Nice, updated appliances in the kitchen for preparing meals. Comfy bed! Look forward to returning when we can!
The beach is beautiful, and pristine, with clear water and few people, the bulk of the tourists are gone. The view from the condo is perfect, and sunsets and sunrises are breathtaking from the balcony.
If you are looking for a beach getaway that has everything, this is it. There are plenty of very good restaurants within a 10-15 min drive, most have local fresh seafood and are very happy to see you this time of year. October is the perfect time to visit.
Only problem was being able to use the television. Had trouble using remotes. Kept asking for passwords which we did not have.
Everything else was perfect & mostly the view.
We would like to know how to request this particular condo again.
