Modern with Amazing views! Updated, Dogs Welcome

The Maravilla has THREE pools! This condo is across the street from the beach and just 5 minutes to Moody Gardens & Schlitterbahn Water Park. Pleasure Pier Cruise terminals and all other Galveston attractions about 10 minutes drive.

Our guests love this modern and bright condo with all the latest décor. Your best recipes will come to life in the full size kitchen with the lovely ocean view. The kitchen is stocked with all the cooking supplies, pots, pans, dishes, stemware, and utensils you will need. Dining for four is on the granite bar adjacent to the den. The updated den boasts a queen sleeper sofa and under the smart TV is a warming electric fireplace. The coffee table conveniently opens up to become another dining option or a desk for working with a view! The best thing about the den is the fabulous ocean VIEW! Guests love to relax and enjoy the crashing waves as you nap or enjoy your latest book. The condo is made complete with the primary bedroom with a queen bed and smart tv. The bathroom is accessed through the bedroom or through the hallway. The lovely bathroom features and walk-in shower with updated tile walls and glass sliding doors. In the entry hall there are 2 cuddly bunks with twin size mattresses (not the smaller bunk mattresses). This condo is 521 s.f. and has sleeping for 6 but is tight with all adults. Come enjoy this wonderful condo close to everything fun in Galveston!

***As you enter the complex, you might notice a small construction project at the very
front. You might hear some noise during the day from 8 to 5. All construction and noise from construction stops at 5:00pm.
***POOLS: The large main pool, hot tub and beach entry pool are OPEN and have been renovated. The east heated pool is being renovated and a 12 man hot tub and splash pad added beginning mid-August and should be completed by mid-December 2025! We are excited to have all of this ready for guests this winter! This renovation project is no where near this condo.

Nice condo

The condo itself was nice, clean, and great location. The building was under construction, a few pools and hot tub didn’t have water because they were cleaning it, so it was not the best first impression. But once we realized there was a heated pool available and everything else was perfect for us, we were extremely happy. We will stay again.

Terrible Experience!!!

We arrived to a place without blankets/comforters. We only had paper-thin white sheets for the 1st night. Neither tv worked, there was black MOLD all over the bathroom vent, urine stains on the pullout mattress, dog fur on couch and couch pillows, and many other issues that I have pictures of. The 2nd day the air conditioning went out and it got to 84 degrees in the place. Donna was so unprofessional and she didn't like hearing there were issues and basically blamed me for complaining. She hung up on me after yelling at me and not letting me get a word in and when I called back she sent me to her full inbox. Then she said she would only text message. She canceled the air conditioning technician that was supposed to come out and she basically told us to leave at 6:15 pm. Unfortunately we couldn't leave because we didn't have a car, lots of luggage, food being delivered, and our transportation to the cruise port was already set up for the morning. The place is small and could use an update and a really good deep clean. It is nicely located across from the beach, but it isn't located near much. The pier is within walking distance, but you have to pay to walk on it. We only found one restaurant while we walked the area and that was at the pier. Otherwise there are very few things to do within walking distance.

Cheer Competition

We went to Galveston for a cheer competition and decided to stay a few extra days…and I’m so glad we did. The condo was so cute and just enough space for our family of 3. The kitchen had a great view of the ocean, which made cooking so much nicer. I had one small hiccup, there was only one pan and a small sauce pot. The owner responded quickly and offered to bring more over, which I appreciated. I told her it wasn’t necessary. My husband ran to Wal-Mart, which was down the street to grab some. The condo was clean and quiet. Great location to stores, restaurants, seawall, and other nearby beaches. We would definitely stay here again.

Birthday getaway!

I booked this property as a get out of Houston weekend and enjoy some beach time for my husband's birthday. We had the best time! The property is everything noted, the pools are beautiful and the condo extra comfortable and loved. Loved all the amenities. We had our little dog with us, it was easy and fun going up and down the stairs. Other people were outside doing the same with their pets, felt very secure no matter what time of the day or night we were out. The pet relief areas were great and convenient. Will definitely be back!!

Nice weekend

The condo was nice, clean, and furnished with everything we needed. We appreciated that we could bring our mini Aussie, as she is basically our child and hard to leave behind. Wonderful pools here, as well. Don’t let the outside construction of the building keep you away. Everything inside the condo was great, and we had no issues.😃

Nice beach view!

The unit was pretty clean. Had a issue with the sliding glass doors to shower, wouldn't slide open but Donna was quick to send someone to fix it. The Bed is comfortable. The view from the balcony was beautiful. Loved the mornings!. Kitchen is somewhat supplied. Maybe get some new skillets. Overall great stay would stay again.
