The beach view was stellar. Quiet, clean, peaceful and just what we hoped for compared to the busy strand and sea wall areas. Accommodations were perfect. Kitchen very well equipped with quality items. Loved the pool and hot tub that were perfect temps. What a lovely spot in Galveston. Would not hesitate to return and go to this exact same location and unit.

This unit was beautifully updated and very clean and comfortable. The Galvestonian is a very well-maintained property with friendly staff. We enjoyed walking through the manicured grounds and then over the lovely dunes via the boardwalk to the uncrowded beach.

This condo was perfect! Loved that it has a washer and dryer. Great view- wasn’t sure since it’s on the first floor. Great pool, easy access to the beach and friendly staff.
We loved the openness and balcony views in living area and primary bedroom. Condo was very clean and well furnished. Even though we did not have sunny weather we made the best of it. Would definitely stay here again and plan too.
