Clean, Quiet & Comfortable
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.

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!

Great View!
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.

About the host

Hosted by Mayvic McCloskey

Host profile image
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.
