Family Spring Break, bruh!

Very nice condo! Nicely remodeled. Very clean! Love the tall ceilings and bunk beds were a hit for our small daughters! Would have been nice to have a cross walk closer by so not playing Frogger to get to the ocean! Pet friendly is a plus. There is an above unit that was loud when walking or rolling toys beware! Great to have hot tub and heated pool since was chilly. We wish the pool would open before 10am.The TVs in bunk beds and lights on stairs to bunk beds not working. Both bathroom sinks have reverse temperatures. Both showers had poor to no water pressure. Shower closest to laundry had no in between temperature, either hot or cold. Ice makers was producing a white powder so just pulled straight out of freezer. Need glass plates to use microwave. The entire building needs to be redone as it is outdated. Tacky that there is a massive dumpster in the middle of parking lot near the building—should put in corner instead. And would have been helpful to know there is a beach wagon, chairs, umbrella, and beach toys for guests. But hey it was really nice!

Rainy Week

The condo was very nice. The issues were with the elevators not working most of the time and the leaking ceiling (result of hurricane). We were not aware of the damage and found it when we arrived. We assumed it was due to lack of maintenance. With the rain all week, the ceiling started leaking on the couch where we were sitting. Other then that the stay was nice.

Comfortable and clean

This was our second stay at this property. Our daughter attends a summer day camp in Galveston every summer and this is a comfortable and clean place with a great location for us. We are able to work from the condo while she's at camp and then we all get in the pool at the end of the day. They are still doing construction on the complex and only one elevator was working when we were there but that was only a pain on the first and last day of our stay when we were unpacking or packing. The beds are comfortable and the unit had everything we needed. We look forward to returning next summer.

Fun family getaway

We had a great experience at the Salty Mermaid. Spacious, clean, well decorated, and the deck is AMAZING. Beds were comfy. The location is great, easy access to everything Galveston has to offer. The pool was fun and refreshing. The only thing I can suggest is that the kitchen could be better appointed. There were only 2 coffee mugs in the cabinet, but there were 5 of us. And, it would be nice to have some glass dishes, measuring cups, and simple salt and pepper.

Stay here!

This condo was everything and more. We have stayed at other Maravilla condos but this one was by far our favorite. Spacious, kitchen well equipped, laundry essentials. Our kids loved the bunk beds and the KING size bed in the spare room. Beds are comfy and AC works really well, it was a must for being summer time and a pregnant wife. We will be back like we are every summer but will definitely try to book this same condo.

Amazing property with great owners that care about their guests. Easy to check in, lots of parking options and the place was SUPER clean. It has all the basics plus items for the beach. Having the washer and dryer onsite helps us pack lighter. The property is well maintained, clean, safe and they have a security walking around on site. The heated pool is great for kids! Its located right across the beach.The property is going through renovations but that did not affect our stay at all. We would definitely come back!

Great Unit!

We stayed in this unit for 10 days with another couple and enjoyed our time here. The "welcome" cooler bag and goodies from the management company was an unexpected and much appreciated surprise! Check in and out was a breeze as well. The location can't be beat! We really enjoyed having the beach directly across the street and the beach chairs, umbrella and beach wagon provided in the unit were AWESOME!! We just loaded up the wagon and popped across the street. *BOOM* Beach day with very little effort! The good - excellent air conditioning (a godsend coming in from 100+ outdoor temps!), HUGE indoor and outdoor space, updated decor and comfy beds. The complex itself is a little rundown, but is undergoing some much needed major renovations. Totally expected for a building subjected to the ocean and salty air. A couple of "creature comfort" suggestions - provide more paper products (toilet paper, paper towels) and floor mats or throw rugs for sandy feet. If we ever make it back to Galveston, we'd definitely stay here again. Thanks for everything!

We were here for 4 nights so that our 7 year old could attend a 3 day summer daycamp. The condo had everything we needed and was very comfortable.

While the complex was a little run down, the condo layout, decor and cleanliness were great. The kids loved the bedroom with the kind beds and bunk beds. Our only real issue was the air conditioning. It wouldn't cool down below 74 degrees, even at night.

Salty Mermaid Review

Upon walking in the door, we were all impressed! It was, however, very warm. We chalked this up to us being in and out of door while unloading. The next two days, the AC was fabulous, but in the last night, the inside temp reached 76 and we could not get it to go down. Also, the unit needs blackout curtains in bedrooms to block out pool lights that are on all night! We would definitely stay at the Salty Mermaid again!

Great stay! Accurate description of property, no concerns. Plenty of towels and bathroom toiletries, beach towels too! Lots of kitchen supplies and utensils but absolutely no kitchen pantry items(oil, salt & pepper/spices) so pack accordingly. Property is older but very well maintained and patrolled nightly by management. Construction at front of property did not affect our stay at all. Would definitely book again and go back!

Best place we've stayed

We came here in April and returned in September. This is the only place we've stayed in more than once. When the biggest issue you face is a night light with dead batteries, you can't really ask for a more perfect place. Everywhere else we've stayed over the years had some issue that caused us to keep looking. We're done looking.
