Had issues with power in first unit . Mngr. moved us promptly unt was ok and well equipped but property as a whole is very dated and in need of ALOT of repairs. Elevator near our new unit was out and others had not been cleaned in years. Pool was a science lab ( I am not exaggerating we have a large inclosed inground pool at home and I do maintenance) it was FILTHY the two days we were there pump was not on and skimmer buckets were full of same trash. I witnessed a lady that claimed to be a “ owner” tossing her butts on the cool deck! Wow! It looks like they are doing some major repairs on street units but basic cleaning would go along way. If we were offered a free week end we would not go back. ( I hate to say this about anyone’s property).

Communication with property manager was fantastic. Went above and beyond to ensure our stay went well. Condo was clean and well cared for. Had everything we needed. Property location was in the perfect spot across from the ocean and just far enough away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Galveston. Kids loved the heated pool!

Great little place for a getaway! Clean and well furnished. Easy checkin and great communication. Enjoyed the heated pool and hot tub. Beautiful view and gorgeous sunrises!!!

Everything you could want, Amazing View!

The host was very responsive to questions prior to arrival; after I arrived, I found everything had already been answered, or there was a an informational sign, addressing my question! Check in was super easy and accessing the condo was a breeze! You will find absolutely everything you need for your vacation. If it’s not there, you don’t need it! However, should you need anything, the Walmart is a quick 2 mile drive away. Be sure to read the guide that Dave sends you for suggested places to visit and eat… We found that extremely helpful. The condo was extremely clean and well-maintained. You may not be able to tell it from the balcony view, but if you walk out the front of the Maravilla condo property, the beach is right there across the street. We had an amazing stay!
