About this property

Pool & Ocean views! Fun Vibe! Dog Friendly

The Maravilla has one of the largest pools on Galveston Island! There are 3 pools, one heated a hot tub and exercise room with ocean view! We are very dog friendly with a dog park and shower. Seahorse Corral is a fun place to be with colorful sophisticated décor! Beginning with the primary bedroom you will enjoy a direct entrance to the balcony. Take in the view from your comfortable king bed. You will relax in your private ensuite bath with shower. Enjoy the smart TV from your bed. The guest bedroom features a queen bed where you can enjoy watching your favorite shows on the provided DirectTV or streaming. The guest bath with tub shower combination is just across the hall.
In that hallway are the twin bunks for kids and grownups alike. Next is the AMAZING kitchen with a stylish stainless hood above the stove rarely seen in condos. Provided is all the cooking essentials you will need with dishes, utensils, & drinkware too. A beach trip wouldn't be complete without a shrimp boil and a boil pot is included! Keurig and drip coffee makers are there for your morning coffee out on the balcony taking in the lovely pool and ocean views! The expansive kitchen bar is a place you will dine on the 4 comfortable bar stools. The den is so unique with a velour teal sofa with chaise. Under the large smart TV is a unique dining/game table that tucks away when you are not in use. The balcony is where you can sit and read your favorite book on the bar height stools or the wicker chairs and loveseat. The views are beautiful of the main pool (one of the largest on Galveston Island) and see waves in the ocean beyond the pool.

Great place to stay!

We enjoyed staying here! Everything was clean, the beds were comfy, and the kiddos loved the bunk beds! Great location right across from the beach. We also enjoyed swimming in the pools, relaxing in the hot tub, and grilling by the pool.

Great place to stay!

Very clean and updated! Host was very responsive. Place was a little smaller than we expected, twin beds are out in the open right by the main entrance, but everything was very clean and many accommodations provided. Perfect for 4 adults. Beautiful view from the balcony of the pool and ocean in the background. Would stay again!!

Excellent Value and Location

The unit we stayed in was a great value, and in a great location. It is right on Seawall Ave, but far enough away from the typical Galveston crowd so we could relax. The furnishings were as advertised, and filled all of our needs. It is a comfortable place, and the A/C works great! We would definitely stay there again.

Family Vacay

The property was perfectly appointed. It was just perfect for us. 4 adult women and one child - the beds were incredibly comfortable! The kitchen was well stocked! There was so many things we brought that the place already had! We were very comfortable. It was so close to the beach and all the other activities. The pool was very clean and nice too! We had a fabulous time and check in and check out was seamlessly easy. We will definitely be booking this place again! Thank you so much!

Short Vacation

Our stay at Donna’s was perfect! In front of our vacation, we received very clear, specific instructions on how to check in. We knew we were getting there after the office was closed, but she was very helpful with all of that. The location was perfect, parking was super easy and plentiful, and the ocean was right across the road. Her property was just far enough away from the busy side of town to enjoy some peace and quiet, but close enough for a short drive, if we wanted to get in the hustle and bustle fun. Five stars!

Condo was very nice

the condo was nice and had everything we needed. There were a couple of plumbing problems but they were fixed within a few hours of our arrival. The only thing we would have liked were chests in the bedrooms. There was no place to put our clothes. We had to live out of our suitcases. The pool was very nice. The grandkids really enjoyed it. We had a nice view of the water from the balcony

Nice stay before a cruise

Stayed two nights to see Galveston before embarking on a cruise. The directions were very easy to follow. Note that the beach is across a particularly busy highway with no crosswalks close - closest one maybe 3/4 mile away? All beach front locations are this way, not just this condo, just FYI. The condo unit was right next to laundry, which was very convenient! The complex has 2 or 3 pools, the kids loved that, and we enjoyed the privacy since the crowds were scattered between all the pools. Donna was very responsive to any questions we had, we enjoyed staying here!

Nice area next to the beach

We had a good stay and the place was right next to the beach, about a 10 min drive to the busy part of the city. Overall we had a good stay and the booking people are really nice and incredibly responsive even at night. The ding would be when we went to get into our bed, the sheets in one of the bedrooms had multiple stains and a dead moth on it. The other bedroom and the bunk beds had clean sheets though. Donna immediately called somebody to come to our place and replace the sheets though that same night; she’s not somebody that will completely ignore you once your stay begins so you can feel confident you’ll get help if something comes up
