Excellent property & location for a relaxing getaway- whether a short or extended stay! Many activi
After spending considerable time looking at available options, I kept going back to Islander East & so happy I made the decision to book this property! The owners are fantastic & our stay was perfect in every way!
This VRBO was very nice. It was clean and had a great view of the Gulf. The location was just far enough away from all the noise and traffic in town to make it very quiet and relaxing. The owners went above and beyond to make sure our stay was great! We would definately stay here again and we would definately rent from the owners again!
The unit is a studio so it is small but well laid out to use the space. The view is great! The building staff were very nice and the owner was very available to answer questions before and during out stay.
Highly recommend the property.
Everyone was very friendly. Owners helpful. Front desk was always there to help.
Condo is located on the beach. We were on the private beach infront of condo. Stewart beach was walking distance. The pool was heated which felt wonderful. Inside of condo was roomy with an outdoor balcony facing the beach. We had a great time!
This property was exactly what my wife and I were hoping it would be. It was not too big but didn’t feel small either. We got to relax, be on our own schedule, enjoy an amazing view, and get easy access to the beach. The hosts were the best! They gave us great recommendations for places to eat and explore. We could not have had a better stay! If you’re just looking for a quiet place to rest for a few days, this is an excellent option.
We needed some extra space for overflow of family. GREAT communication with homeowner. The condo is very comfortable, with everything that we needed. The staff at Islander East could not have been friendlier. We will be reaching out to stay again in the future!
This studio unit was perfect for my elderly mom (88) while we were in Galveston for a family wedding. The bathroom has an easily accessible shower (a 2-3 inch lip to step over) for seniors. We brought along a removable suction grab bar to provide extra security stepping in & out of the shower & my mom was set.

Gulf view
Property is older however it does have a good view of the ocean from the balcony. Quiet location. Very small and needs some TLC. Bed was very comfortable. TV hard to operate. Needs directions for usage.
Overall a very good, enjoyable experience. Owners responded promptly to text messages, but need for communication could have been reduced if a complete list of instructions had been provided at check-in. TV system in particular was a challenge, even with the owner's help. Our electrical engineer son figured it out for us.
The stay was wonderful. The owners Mayvic and Mark were awesome and stayed in touch to make sure we were taken care of and to be honest that is the first time an owner stayed in touch and seemed genuinely concerned with how we were doing. The area was very peaceful and quiet just the way we like it and couldn’t ask for a better a cozier condo. If I had one complaint it would be a stronger air conditioning unit. At times during peak heat of of the day it seemed to have trouble keeping up with cooling the condo and it was noisy to sit on balcony. But that did not dampen our stay one bit and we loved every minute of it.

About the host
Hosted by Mayvic McCloskey
We grew up in Corpus Christi, TX and now live in Rockport, TX. We love being on and near the water. We chose this Galveston condo because of the magnificent view and quick access to a beach where vehicles are not allowed. We also manage another condo on Galveston Island, one on North Padre Island and an apartment/suite in Rockport so if you would like to explore more of the Texas Coast message us for more info.
Why they chose this property
This property has a breathtaking view of the Gulf of Mexico. It is only a 3-4 minute walk across a wooden path/bridge to have access to East Beach. No vehicles are allowed on the beach which makes it more enjoyable and peaceful than some of the other options on the island. No smoking is allowed in the condo or on the balcony.
What makes this property unique
Gorgeous unobstructed view of the Gulf. 3-4 minute walk to the beach. No vehicles are allowed on the beach.
