We arrived for check in a little early - we were denied access to the building (hoping to use restroom). Told to return at 4:00.Kitchen was nice! Had most everything we needed to do cook meals. The kitchen faucet leaked quite a bit.

Great beachfront View

Wonderful family Christmas vacation. The condo was relaxing, roomy, and comfortable. Our favorite part was the heated pool and hot tub. We used the theater room one time with assistance from front desk. Everyone was very pleasen and helpful. The main areas were nicely decorated for Christmas. Would definetly stay there again.

Family getaway

We wanted a beach to spend our vacation time. We're from the Dallas, tx metro Plex so Galveston was a nice option. Tourist type stuff was VERY expensive. The condo was VERY nice. Right on the beach, out door cooking, pools, theatre, billiard/game room. A lot of jelly fish in the water so long sleeve shirts were necessary.

The rooms were clean & quiet, and kitchen appliances & dishes were sufficient. However the beds were uncomfortable and the living room furniture is old and lumpy. The master bedroom light may have a loose bulb which we couldn’t reach or it may be an electrical problem because it turned itself on in the middle of the night waking us up. The finish on the outdoor wrought iron table is peeling and you come away with paint chips on your hands and arms. Nothing a little TLC couldn’t fix.

Good time in a bad time!

We stayed for a long weekend during the Coronavirus panic. We know the property well and even with some activities closed or restricted, we enjoyed the common areas and grounds. The room itself was sufficient but is showing its age a bit. Modern amenities were adequate, but minimal. Would stay again though, much more positive than negative. Thank you!

Fabulous property

Everything about the property was amazing. The cable box did not work, but it was nice not to have the noise of television anyway. Everything we needed was there for cooking and sleeping. It was wonderful. The only problem we had was that somehow the complex did not have us as checking in on the first night so we had to go find a hotel. They could not get a hold of anyone to verify our reservation. We are being reimbursed for that first night, but it's extremely difficult to find housing for six people at 11 o'clock at night on a Friday in Galveston. Other than that, we would Highly recommend this location.

Just OK

The location was good, and the place is nice enough. Would have been nice to have a TV in each bedroom. However, we experienced a couple of problems that weren't corrected. The WIFI didn't work, and one of the bathrooms faucet came off the wall. We reported them, but they were never corrected.

Lovely Condo

Condo was beautiful. Loved the view from the balcony. Beach was walking distance. One problem though with the rail on the 6th floor pool. It is only metal wires. Our grandson lost a pool toy through the rail. He started to climb through the rails to retrieve his toy from the roof below. Fortunately we noticed and stopped him in time. I think the rail should be solid plexiglass. That would be safer and still offer the view.

Beautiful facility! Nice pool! Easy to park.

We were promised WiFi. No WiFi! I called every day. We were told that someone would be there to fix it. No one ever came. I was promised that a supervisor would call back. No call was ever received. I think we should get some amount of rebate for the inconvenience and empty promises

Great location and loved the pool

I stayed in unit 1213 not 1111. My reservation was shifted because 1111 became unavailable so the rating is for the unit I stayed in. We liked the unit. We liked the facility. We liked the proximity. Floors were dirty (like make your feet black dirty). But everything else was really nice. The staff of the rental company was very accommodating providing a blowup for us because it had one less bedroom. We were deeply disappointed that renters do not have access to the game room, or the gym. That was not clear at all. However, all in all, we had a great time and would definitely stay again.

Terrible Experience

Host would not respond to our attempts at communication and failed to address several issues. We were interrupted by maintenance workers and were never notified by the hose they were coming. We were also told we couldn't check in early because the room was being cleaned, only to arrive and see a notice that the room was cleaned three days earlier. Vtrips is horrible to work with.

Nice condo with great amenities

We really enjoyed staying at this condo. The condo was very clean. The kitchen was super clean and well organized. There is a washer and dryer in the condo which was helpful. The views of the ocean are amazing from the condo. The beach was just a short walk around the block. We brought a wagon and it worked wonderful to take our items to the beach. We also really appreciated the sand toys at the condo! We did not feel like it was out of date. A couple pieces of furniture were older, but it was great otherwise! The Emerald has awesome amenities, including a beautiful pool, poolside grills, and a movie theater. Our only concern would be the many rules at the Emerald, such as no guests except those listed on the reservation, guests have to wear a wristband, and they expect you to be quiet. Our children are not very quiet lol, but we did not get any complaints so maybe it wasn't too big of an issue. All in all, this was a great place to stay.
