Girls trip
It was perfect! The beach is across a busy street but the pool is amazing so we didn’t get in the ocean. The lady at check in told us there wasn’t a elevator for us and it’s on the 3rd floor!! We took all of our luggage up 87 stairs!!! When we walked out we saw people going to the right out of the front door and down 10 steps there was a elevator!!!! So if you stay there, there is a elevator!!!! The condo is perfect!! If you go out the door in the 2nd Bedroom you can see the sunset & out the other bedroom watch the sunrise!! The owner was great to work with and responded quick with any questions!!

Relaxing Location with Wonderful View
Great location with a wonderful view. We had a small hiccup when we first arrived but the host acted fast and went above and beyond. There are some renovations going on but the workers are very kind and pleasant to converse with.

Enjoyable Maravilla Visit
The condo was nicely redone. The view from the lanai was beautiful. The pool was really nice. The grounds themselves were nice, even though the street-presence left a bit to be desired as the as they were significantly under repair and didn’t show well. There was a problem with the cleaning service, so the condos was down-rated, but the owner made quick adjustments. Overall, we enjoyed our stay at Maravilla!

Great location on the Seawall! The patio view is amazing over looking the pool and Gulf of Mexico. If you have trouble with stairs, there are about 10 stairs to get to the front door and both rooms and bathrooms are on the 2nd floor of the condo. We me friends for a weekend getaway! We had a nice time!

Was a great stay for our family trip!!
The condo was great, a little dated but clean and roomy enough for me, two adult children and their significant others. It was on the seawall away from the hustle and bustle and right across the street from the beach! The condo is on the 3rd floor, with access to an elevator, looking right out to the pool and beach areas. It really was a beautiful view. The host was quick to respond to my emails and made sure I had all the information needed for an easy check in. The only things that bothered me was 1. The gym was not in use. I know some people may not use the gym while on vacation, but we do. So, with it being closed it was a little disappointing. 2.On our 3rd day, the elevator stopped working!! It wasn't a huge deal for those of us in our party who are "younger" (w/ me being the oldest at 52) and pretty fit since we had already carried our luggage and groceries up. However, my 76-year-old father was coming up for dinner that day and before we had known about the elevator being inoperable, my parents had climbed the 69 steps it took to get to our room! I felt horrible for my father!! None of the issues had anything to do with the host personally but are things that just happen. We looked at the silver lining and figured with the gym not working and 69 stairs getting to our room and 17 stairs to get to the bathroom on our 2nd floor...we were having "leg day" everyday! lol Life is all about how you look at it! Overall, it was a great stay, and I would stay again!

Condo was very clean, & spacious. We loved that the location was away from the main part of Galveston. It was quiet with little traffic, and the beach was just right across the street.
