About this property

Family-friendly condo directly on the quiet beach! You'll LOVE our uninterrupted panoramic views from the two private balconies - they're a great way to relax and enjoy the day. Our complex boasts a NEW pickleball court, half court basketball, and updated pool and lounge furniture, too! We’ve got what you need for your stay, and East Island Oasis is conveniently located minutes from everything Galveston has to offer.

LOCATION
East Island Oasis is in the Islander East Resort, on the east end of the island between East Beach and Stewart Beach. The condo is just steps down the private walkover to our exclusive beach. That's right - no playing "Frogger" trying to cross five lanes of Seawall Blvd with your kids in tow. Also, there is no driving on our beach, so your focus can be on enjoying your family and the water.
The heated swimming pool, half court basketball, tennis court, pickleball, outdoor shower, picnic tables and gas and charcoal BBQ grills are all available for use. Lobby has a 24-hour staffed desk, separate free wireless internet service, ice machine, vending machines, and a coin operated laundry.

EAST ISLAND OASIS
Our 6th floor condo has panoramic views that are second to none. We’ve got what you need to enjoy the beach: chairs, toys (beach and pool), and beach towels. Had enough sunshine? There is free, upgraded wireless internet throughout the unit, as well as HD Cable and TVs in every room. We just added a NINTENDO CLASSIC WITH GAMES (kids young and old will have fun playing the retro games!), Netflix, DVDs, and board games.

Check-in: 4 pm

BEDROOMS
The ocean views from the master bedroom are incredible, especially when enjoyed with a cup of coffee on the balcony listening to the waves. This room has a NEW KING bed and a full dresser with plenty of room for unpacking.
The inviting guest bedroom sleeps 4 easily, as it has a double and twin bunk bed, as well as a twin trundle bed. There are blackout shades and a night light to help nap toddlers.
The living room is also equipped with a sleeper sofa that easily converts into a queen size bed. Additionally, we have an infant pack-and-play, linens, and towels.

The efficient kitchen has granite counter tops and is fully furnished with a dishwasher, cooktop, convection oven (which also has a microwave mode) and refrigerator. Our kitchen comes fully stocked with dishes, pots and pans, and utensils. We've just added a detached pantry, to make it convenient to store groceries if you want to dine in. Other features include toaster, full set of kitchen knives, and bar setup. The new Keurig coffee machine comes stocked with starter pack of coffee pods and creamers.

ATTRACTIONS
Galveston has many area attractions, including the Pleasure Pier that is only 5 minutes driving distance from the Islander East Resort – it’s so close it can be seen from the balconies. The Strand and many local restaurants are just minutes away. The downstairs lobby has a multitude of brochures for everything to do on the island. A few nearby attractions include Schlitterbahn Water Park, Moody Gardens Pyramids, Bishop’s Palace, Moody Mansion, and much more. There are 2 golf courses on the island: Moody Gardens Golf Course and Galveston Country Club. Going out or staying in, you’re going to have a great time!

Sweet surprise

This was our first trip to Galveston and it did not disappoint! We loved the location on the private beach. The staff were so friendly that we felt at home right away. We appreciated the security and all of the activities on site. The condo was the perfect size with every need met. The hosts were phenomenal to work with. We also thoroughly enjoyed the town. Great food, fun to be had and laid back. Everything we didn’t know it would be and everything we loved!

Great place to stay!

I’ve rented over 30 different VRBO’s..this is one of the top ones for me. Everything was clean, well organized & offered a lot of extras. Bed was very comfortable..pillows needed more variety. While there was no place in the closet to hang clothes (lots of fun & practical items stored in there) there were plenty of drawers. Loved the dehumidifier. The a/c worked great & the shower had plenty of water pressure! The Nintendo console was a really fun blast from the past, too. While the cost was a bit high, the included extras (beach chairs, TV subscriptions, etc) and peacefulness of the unit made it worth while. Also, the check in desk was very friendly & helpful with local info. Best restaurant we tried was BLVD Seafood. Definitely recommend staying in this unit!!

Spring Break Getaway

This condo was perfect for our getaway. When we walked in we noticed how clean and fresh it was. It had everything needed for our stay. Our host was the best. She made sure everything was taken care of before we arrived which made checking in a breeze. If available we will stay here again in the future.

President's Day Weekend trip

Our family (2 adults, 2 pre-teen children) stayed at the rental over president's day weekend. We found the listing to be just as promised. Kitchen - small but functional for making quick meals. Enough pots and pans to get you by. No traditional oven, so don't plan on frozen pizza. Fridge isn't full sized, but we had plenty of room for our 4 day stay. Bathroom - plenty of towels and hotel type soaps. Only negative, the toilet is really low! Bedrooms - king size bed was comfortable enough for a good night's sleep. Kids were comfortable in the bunk beds. Didn't use the sofa sleeper. Pool - We were the only ones in the pool for our entire stay, now that probably has more to do with the weather than anything. Pool was heated to 85 degrees and felt great after coming out of the 60 degree gulf water! Staff - the staff for the condo could not have been more friendly and welcoming. They were quick to offer assistance and more than happy to recommend attractions on the island. There was a short term power outage (about an hour) during our stay likely brought on by some strong winds. Staff got us key to get into the stairway so we could get back up to our condo. Our host, Gail, checked in on us upon arrival and on day 2 to make sure everything was okay. She responded to messages in short order and was very helpful. It was great to walk from the condo to the beach without parking or crossing the busy road! Quiet end of Seawall Blvd was exactly what we wanted, and received!

About the host

Hosted by Christina Abaray

My husband and I two small children and love coming to the beach to get away from our hectic day-to-day and focus on family time.

Why they chose this property

I grew up going to Galveston and Surfside every summer as a child, and wanted to do the same with our children. When we started looking at properties, we LOVED this one because of the direct beach access and quietness of the area. It immediately felt homey and was only an hour from Houston.

What makes this property unique

We really love the DIRECT BEACH ACCESS and the fact that there's no driving on the beach because it lets us enjoy the whole beach with the kids...not having to worry about crossing Seawall Blvd. and people driving next to the sandcastles allows us all to de-stress.

Also, there's nothing quite like waking up in the master bedroom and it's like you're on the beach already. The waves and the breeze across the dune grass is hypnotic - it's easy to leave busy city life behind here.
