Super clean room and property. Beach view was spot on. We would have loved for our friends to be able to join us for a few ours at the pool for an afternoon pass. Easy parking and in and out for the win.

So much better than expected

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We did not know that there were condos available where you didn’t have to cross the Sea Wall to get to the beach. The Galvestonian was perfect for us. The pool was great and there was plenty of room at the pool and on the beach. Never crowded. We will be back!!

Fall Break Getaway

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We wanted one last beach trip for the year with friends. Galvestonian gave us just that. We have come to the Galvestonian at least once a year for the past 9 years and it never disappoints. My only suggestion is that this particular unit does need a couple of updates. The TV was very hard to see and outdated as we couldn’t log into any of our streaming services for our kids. And the sofa bed is not as comfortable as others in other units we’ve visited in the past.

We are so glad Galveston, and the Galvestonian did not disappoint on your last beach trip for the year! Thank you for your 5-star review! We appreciate your business and will share with the owner of #108 your comment and suggestions.
