The Great Galvestonian!
We so thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Galvestonian. I have stayed in Galveston before, but not at the quiet - beach end of the island. What a wonderful area! The unit was lovely. Very clean and cozy. We loved the two balconies. Sitting and watching the water was so relaxing. The unit had absolutely everything g you could need.

The condo is perfect for a beach getaway! It has everything you need and is very comfortable. Check-in was painless, the staff was friendly and helpful, and the property is serene. The pool and poolside lounges looked inviting but we spent most of our time on the beach!

Nice stay in Galveston
Nice and clean condo on East Beach in Galveston at the Galvestonian. This condo was on the first floor near the elevator so very easy to move around/in and out. Had TVs in both the living room and bedroom and both rooms had balconies with a great view of the ocean. Also facing towards the East so you could watch the sunrise. The pool was barely cooler than the hot tub but that’s just August in Texas. Enjoyed the restaurants and coffee shops. Our favorite was Conex Coffee Company.

Perfect R&R
My friend and I, both educators, had the best time just taking it easy and relaxing for the week following another crazy school year. Things I loved about this rental: Quiet, family friendly, great views, pristine property grounds, well stocked, including chairs for the beach, towels for the pool, and toiletries. After a few hours on the beach, the pool area was a perfect place to cool off, read, and even nap! Also, be sure to try out the hammocks under the deck area. This is definitely my favorite stay I've ever had in Galveston. I plan to be back sooner than later!

Perfect Beach Get Away
This was a perfect beach getaway! You are steps away from the beach (we rented the umbrella and chairs which which were set up for us each morning). The front desk employees were very kind and helpful. The condo had everything you could think of and was very nice. The best was the amazing view from the balconies. We plan to return and you will not be disappointed in staying here.

About the host

Hosted by Chelita Riley

Host profile image
We have shared our condo since 2011 after retiring to the Texas Hill Country. Our guests have been wonderful making it a pleasure to share our island retreat. We update our condo annually based on suggestions from our guests, but try to maintain that casual no-worry ambiance. We attempt to keep it fully stocked with all the necessities you would want if this was your island home. In the fall of 2023, we will also be offering our Ruidoso mountain home on VRBO. Stay tuned!

Why they chose this property

As Houstonians we made frequent trips to our Galveston retreat for our beach fix. We have an exceptional in house staff that keeps the Galvestonian well maintained with friendly 24X7 front desk personnel always available to help - but remember, you are renting from us directly, not the Galvestonian. We are always a short call or text away! When you are our guests, you step into our sandals and will be treated as if you are us!

What makes this property unique

It is all about the Beach and you will be renting directly from us with amenities of home! NOT a hotel. The views from our bedroom and living room balconies are exceptional. The new floor to ceiling glass walls facing the ocean provide a full tropical view from our condo's interior. Blackout curtains in bedroom for late sleepers. Our unit is close to the elevator and is the 1st floor of condos which are actually the 3rd level of the building. View of the pool and hot tub, but we are not right over the pool. The Galvestonian Resort is one of a very few Galveston properties directly on the beach! We want you to take a break from hotel sameness and enjoy our beach getaway as much as we do! The beach is calling!
