About this property
Amazing Sunsets! Sleeps 6! 3 pools!Dog friendly, great views!
Come and enjoy our beautifully decorated “Happy Place”, located on the 3rd (Top) floor of the Maravilla condominium complex. BALCONY IS OPEN!!
The Maravilla is conveniently located right on the Seawall across the street from the Gulf of Mexico. Minutes from Pocket Park Beaches to the west and equally as close to beaches to the east with umbrellas to rent to catch a little shade.
At My Happy Place, you’ll enjoy a fully stocked kitchen, comfortable king bedroom with a private bath entry. Extra guests can enjoy the queen sized pull-out couch or either of the two adult sized bunks and a hall entry into the bath.
Beachy themes, soothing grays, whites and blues accentuate the walls and furniture. Sit back on the lounging couch and gaze though the huge picture window to watch a beautiful sunset.
This condo has one of the the BEST views of the ocean and the courtyard! We are also home to the biggest resort pool on the island along with a 5ft deep Wade-in pool and a heated pool on the east side of the complex.
There is also a hot tub located near the resort pool. Ooooo-La-La, it’s time to book those dates so you can swim or lounge by the pool while gazing up at the gorgeous palm trees and blue skies!
Parking accommodations include covered parking for most of our guests. The parking fee is $10+ tax/ night/car. With a 7 night max rate/month
You may come and go as many times as you’d like.
Many recreational activities such as Putt-Putt and Go-Karts, are located close-by and you are just minutes from many great restaurants, as well as the fantastic World Reknown Water park: Schlitterbahn; the wonderful attractions at Moody Gardens, and ever-popular opportunities to salt-water fishing.
My Happy Place is 521 square feet with sleeping accommodations for 6 or 7 depending on age and size of individuals. The private bedroom features a KING bed with bedside tables and lamps on each side, a power cord, lots of pillows, and a comfortable quilt. There is a full-sized dresser, and full-length mirrors on the closet doors to assist you in those details when getting ready for an evening out. There is also a private entry directly to the bathroom which features a vessel sink and shower-tub combo.
Kids or adults will want to snuggle up for a good night’s sleep in the adult-sized bunks which are across the entry hall from the bedroom. The top bunk has a rail to give added protection. There is an attached ladder for access to and from the top bunk.
The den accommodates 2 more guests with a queen-sized sofa bed with an added mattress topper for more comfort. Pillows, linens and a blanket for this bed can be found in the ottoman beside the couch.
Enjoy cooking in the fully stocked kitchen with full-size appliances, drawers full of kitchen gadgets and eating utensils, or use the crock pot, blenders, charcuterie boards and a nice collection of Rachel Ray pots and pans.
Drink your morning coffee made using Mr. Coffee coffee-maker or the Keurig and enjoy the ocean breeze on our beautiful balcony.
The large windows allow you to take in the gorgeous view while relaxing in the den to watch the pelicans and seagulls fly or to gaze at the colorful hues in the sky as the sun slowly sets each evening.
Your precious pooch will love our condo too, but don't forget to kennel your fur-baby when you leave to explore Galveston or sit by the pool. Pick up your pet policy from the front office when paying for parking and collecting swim wristbands. Only one dog allowed unless both dogs' combined weight is less than 60 lbs. Please confer with me, the owner, about the breed of your dog. The Maravilla now offers a dog-wash located in front of the east pool in the parking lot. There’s also a dog-run/play area in the back of the complex.
Also, make sure you’ve paid the pet fee if you’re bringing a dog. It will be $100 for the entire stay. Owner can allow for exceptions.
Thank you for being interested in my condo and I do hope you will book for a fantastic and fun get-away!

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Sharon Milner Honza

I was born and raised in the Golden Triangle area of Texas, which is about an 30 min. away from Bolivar Beach. As a young child, my mom, dad and sister would take trips to stay in a cousin's cabin. As a teen, MANY a day was spent grabbing friends and heading to the beach! We would even bravely swim out to the 3rd sandbar!
I graduated from Thomas Jefferson High School in Port Arthur and went on to Aggieland in College Station, Texas. I met a handsome young man in that sea of maroon in April of '80. We began dating right away and both worked on our degrees. Mine in teaching and his in Finance. One of the criteria for marriage was that the one I love also love the beach! He passed and we've been married for almost 37 years and have been blessed with 3 children. We have loved jumping in the car for a trip down to Galveston many times while raising our children. The sun and sand have always been my therapy! I love sitting on the shore, digging in the sand and listening to the waves as they calmly move in on the shore. We can both do this for hours.
When an opportunity to purchase a condo at the Maryville came open, I jumped on it due to the facility providing the best of both worlds. There is the comfort of staying in a nice condo with a gorgeous view of every sunset, being close enough to the beach that it's super easy to pack and drive 1 mile to easy beach access, AND staying back on the property to enjoy the hot tub, or one of 3 lovely pools, one being heated.
I hope you will take an opportunity to enjoy a stay at My Happy Place, as well, as I'd love to share it with you!

Why they chose this property
Location, location, location!!! I have stayed at the Maravilla before and really enjoyed my stay. I loved so many things about it and and was so excited to have to opportunity to own one of their lovely condos! We are happy to be close enough to popular beaches but also not in the middle of lots of congestion.
Being on the top floor provides an awesome view of the nearby water. There is also no overhead noise.

What makes this property unique
Enjoy the heated pool, hot tub, and one of the largest freeform resort pools on Galveston Island. Wrist bands must be worn and social distancing in the pool area is expected.
Your small dog is welcome. Your pooch can be walked on a leash to the "Puppy Pooping area" adjacent to the east side of the complex and will want to take advantage of the onsite fenced dog run which is located off the very back parking lot.
The Maravilla is one of the few complexes on the Island with elevators. It was voted BEST condominium complex for 2020! Lots of hard work goes into running this 164 unit complex and we are proud of the 3 person leadership on the HOA board consistently working to stay ahead of improvements.
The courtyard area offers bar-b-que grill, picnic tables, lounge chairs around the pool, and a cabana which can be rented out. There is also a volleyball net for added opportunities to compete in a game! Bring your own ball, though! ;)
