To me the pictures of all the bedrooms view was misleading. I thought all were beach views. I had emailed host or owner about the cancellations because of the tropical depresion and never heard anything from them.

Response from VrboOwner on 4 August 2026
Thank you for sharing your feedback. Weâre sorry the bedroom views were not as clear as you expected from the listing photos. While the condo offers beautiful beach views, not every bedroom has the same view, and we appreciate you pointing out that this could have been communicated more clearly.
We also sincerely apologize that your message regarding the tropical depression and possible cancellation did not receive a response. We understand how important timely communication is, especially when weather may affect travel plans. Your comments have been shared with our team so we can review both the listing details and communication process.
The property was nice and as advertised. The images online appear as if the bedrooms have ocean views, they do not. The staff is great. The property is very nice. As a "guest/renter," you have to wear plastic wristbands, like at a carnival, the whole time. This was very annoying, scratches you while you sleep and really upset the ladies when we dressed nicely for our dinners, as they are bright green plastic. It would be preferred if this was something we could remove when off the property.

Weâre glad to hear you found the property beautiful, the staff helpful, and the condo as advertised overall. We also appreciate you pointing out the concern regarding the bedroom-view photos, and weâll review the listing presentation to make sure the views are represented as clearly as possible.
We understand your frustration with the wristbands as well. They are used to help identify registered guests and support property security, but we appreciate your comments about the comfort and appearance of the current style, especially when wearing them for an extended stay or going out for the evening. Weâll be sure to share that feedback with management for consideration.
Thank you again for staying with us and for providing such helpful feedback. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back to The Galvestonian in the future! đď¸âď¸đâ¨
The condo and views are great! The yellow interior is a bit bright...but we got used to it. The balconies are amazing. The beds are comfortable and the bathrooms are updated nicely. We appreciated being able to book tents and chairs in advance on the beach--that's a great service. The elevators at the condo have always been an issue. We've been coming here for over 25 years. It would be great if that could be resolved.

The room had some nice views, but the trip started off with it being impossible to figure out how the showers worked, and they had no instructions within the bathroom.They advertise a heated pool, but it was not heated, even the hot tub wasnât that hot. A resident who lives at this location told us they turned down the heat on the pool during the week and only run it on the weekends to save money.Only two of the three elevators were working when we got there and we ended up for a period where we only had one elevator for the entire 12 floors of this location? Thatâs a lot of waiting when youâre on the 12th floor.The beaches were like sand âconcreteâ from the water all the way to the dunes, not like a beach at all!I reported all these things to the front desk and they assured me they passed it along, but I never heard from anyone in management as to the situations we were running into during the entire stay (still havenât).I absolutely do not recommend this hotel (condominiums) to anyone unless they go in and address all the issues they have.

We previously stayed at the Galvestonian when coming to fish. My husband and I normally get a one bedroom. This time we were celebrating our son and a grandson's birthday and needed a larger rental. I cannot explain how wonderful #1200 is. the pictures don't do it justice. windows on three sides of the condo gave us a complete panoramic view of the east side of Galveston Island, not just the beach. The channel, the tip, the beach and marsh areas. It was absolutely stunning! Every morning watching the ships go out, the ferry to Bolivar, the sunrise and the tides were spectacular! The beach in the front is kept very clean. The grounds are well kept. We will be returning again! You must see these views!
Response from VrboOwner on 12 August 2026
Thank you so much for this incredible review!
Weâre thrilled that Unit 1200 made your family celebration so special. Itâs wonderful to hear that the condo exceeded the photos and that those panoramic viewsâfrom the beach and marshes to the channel, ferries, ships, sunrises, and tidesâmade such an impression.
Weâre also glad you enjoyed the clean beach and beautifully maintained grounds. Thank you for continuing to choose The Galvestonian for your Galveston visits, and we canât wait to welcome you back for another unforgettable stay! ď¸âď¸â¨

April was a perfect time, less crowds etc. and although very windy I loved that is was cool and cloudy the days we were there. My only complaints with the unit was no bathroom in the King bedroom which seems odd. Both showers have a dangerous step and nothing to hold onto stepping in or out. This could be a real safety hazard for young and old guests. The views on both balconies were amazing.
Response from VrboOwner on 29 April 2026
Thank you for sharing your experience with us! Weâre so glad you enjoyed your April stayâthe quieter beaches, coastal breeze, and beautiful balcony views truly make for a special getaway.
We appreciate your feedback regarding the unit layout and the shower access. While some floor plans do vary, your comments about the shower step and safety are very important to us. We will be reviewing this with our team to ensure weâre doing everything possible to provide a safe and comfortable experience for all guests.
Thank you again for your thoughtful reviewâwe hope to welcome you back to The Galvestonian for another relaxing stay soon! â¨

The unit we rented at the Galvestonion was top-notch. It was nearly remodeled, kitchen was superb, all new appliances and very clean.The views are amazing in these three bedroom units. Itâs well worth going to three bedrooms because of all the room you have in the unit. The Galvestonian itself was also a wonderful experience. The front desk people are very responsive and very helpful. I am a repeat customer and will continue to come back.

We had a fantastic weekend. Our favorite was the view to the east along the beach and into the Bay as well as out to the ocean, of course. And to be eye level with the pelicans was unreal! The unit was great - had everything we needed from a fully stocked kitchen to comfortable beds and living area. we also enjoyed the hot tub, pool and the easy beach access. So nice not to have to cross a road to get there. Thank you for all!

We had originally booked another location and it was not operational the day we arrived. After scrambling a bit I called the Galvestonian and Anna was so very helpful finding us the perfect unit for our stay. The entire staff was friendly and professional. The facility is decorated beautifully, the lobby is comfortable, the pool is nice with plenty of chairs and tables. The boardwalk to the beach is also very convenient. Our unit was also nicely decorated with stunning views from the balconies. It was very clean and well stocked. The only reason for the 4 stars is because we didnât have window coverings in one of the bedrooms. We will definitely be back!
