About this property

Galapagos Get-A-Way

***Your kids will love the charming bunk beds just inside the front door, and you'll want to put your feet up on the master bedroom's Queen-size bed with new luxurious bedding, and the full-size bathroom can accommodate all of your needs. This unit has been modified to accommodate a wheelchair. Considering the space, it does not comply with all ADA compliances to truly make this unit handicap accessible but it's very close.

Your next coastal retreat begins with this newly resigned 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom vacation rental condo in Galveston that sleeps up to 6 - perfect for 4 adults and 2 children. This vacation rental was inspired by the Galapagos Island and is Nestled within a beachfront condo complex, this condo affords its guests coveted access to 2 swimming pools, barbecue area, and close proximity to the shore! Be sure to pack your swimsuits, as everyday can be spent wading through the refreshing Gulf waters or digging your toes in the sugar-sand!

THE PROPERTY
Bedroom: Queen Bed | Hallway: Micro-Twin-over-Micro-Twin Bunk Beds | Living Room: Queen Sleeper Sofa

If you're excited to get a start on your adventures as soon as you arrive, the complex offers 2 swimming pools, and barbecue area. Throw on your swimsuit and claim a poolside lounge chair!

If you grow hungry, just head back up to your condo, where you'll be immediately greeted by vibrant colors and glorious natural light and custom wood countertop designed and made by the owner himself. The well-equipped updated kitchen offers a charming breakfast bar to easily whip up a quick snack and settle down together.

When you're in need of a rest, leave the sliding glass doors open to let the fresh ocean air breeze inside as you settle down for a nap. The lovely living area boasts ample seating and offers a mounted flat-screen TV - ideal for a movie night with the kids. Most all the furnishing have been updated and or custom built to include a new memory foam sleeper sofa.

You'll want to end every day by relaxing out on the balcony, where you can sit and contemplate the waving palms with a refreshing cocktail.

Come nighttime, sleep is sure to come easy in the bedroom, while any kids in the group will enjoy cuddling up in the small sleeping nook in the hallway. For additional sleeping arrangements, the living room sofa pulls out for 2 people to use comfortably.

Worth mentioning for those that are physical challenged. The owner made major improvements in the bathroom to accommodate his wheelchair. Now for these that need it you can roll your chair into the showing thanks to the no lip shower pan and the compact toilet thus providing more space to maneuver your wheelchair and or walker. While this does not meet ADA code it is a major improvement for those that need a little assistance. Other modifications have also been made in consideration for those with disabilities. This is the only unit in this complex that can accommodate a wheelchair.

This is a vacation rental not a hotel. There is no one on property to exchange lines, towels or to resupply toilet paper, paper towels or soap. Please plan accordingly.

***Special Note: There is a parking fee of $40 plus tax and is required for every reservation. Vehicle registered good for up to 30 days and includes two vehicles. "No cash is accepted at the front office." Subject to Change by the HOA.

Disappointment
Cleanliness was not up to expectations: hair in shower, wads of hair on floor, rice in table grooves, floor left feet black, debris in closet and sliding glass door thresholds. Owner did offer to have unit re-cleaned. Square footage not listed in description because unit is very small, no way 4 adults would be comfortable in this unit. Description and pictures refer to luxurious bedding which wasn't present on Master or bunk beds. Decor was somewhat different than pictured but certainly not an upgrade.

It was a great price and location, but could use some upgrades.
The condo was very affordable and right across from the beach. It was clean and there was plenty of communication from the management company. I would suggest that the condo replaces some furniture (the patio is rusted over and the front of the fridge is rusting too) and the decor could flow a little better. It seemed like random findings were on the walls.

Liked: Cleanliness
It was great being right next to the beach and walking distance from alot of places. Only downfall was these mattresses are WORE out. Dont expect to use the pull out. It felt like laying on metal bars; no cushion left. The bunkbeds have mats for mattresses. You get what you pay for. Thought it would be nice having seperate room for kids. Id rather pay a little more for a hotel and get a goods night sleep.

About the host

Hosted by Matthew Mamo

Host profile image
My name is Matthew Mamo; owner and Broker for Team Mamo Realty, Inc located in Spring Texas. Vacation rentals are a new part of my business but quickly become the favorite part of my business. I personal get involved in all design and decoration of each unit and try hard to theme each one so they don't look like the same generic condo or hotel room. If my family and I are not willing to stay in my units we don't list them. Cleanliness is extremely important and a top priority in ever unit I list.
