You'll have the entire condo to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

A Wave From It All!

Come enjoy the sand, sun and surf of Galveston from this bright and cheery condo. Comfortable sleeping accommodations for up to 8. How great to have a 'home away from home!'

Only 12 Maravilla units are truly Gulf facing - with balconies literally on the Seawall - this is one of those spectacular 12 - and being a side unit adds a window for additional natural light.

Beachy but not overly so, the condo is decorated to welcome you home at the end of a day at the beach, pool, sightseeing, golfing, fishing, crabbing, or whatever Galveston activity suits your fancy. Gorgeous views and a balcony that comfortably accommodates your family for people or dolphin watching, or dinner on the patio!

Two sliding doors to the large balcony (from master bedroom or from living room room) overlooking the Gulf of Mexico.

Fully equipped kitchen with full sized appliances, cook in or eat out at the numerous eateries around. Kitchen has breakfast bar and bar stools, plenty of dishes to feed your army, coffee maker, toaster, blender, mixer, pots and pans, silverware, glassware, knife block, spice rack, etc.

Living room features a wonderful new sleeper sofa, flat panel, wall-mounted TV/DVD combo, additional seating and just plain cozy relaxing!

Complex has two pools and a hot tub, lush tropical landscaping, underground parking, walking distance to miniature golf, batting cages, movie theater, and much more. Schlitterbahn almost in our backyard. Not all amenities are available at all times. Due to cleaning, construction, etc., pools, hot tub and grounds may be inaccessible from time to time.

We welcome up to 2 dogs, combined maximum weight of 100 pounds, to share your space with you - no cats allowed due to owner allergies.

This and several other great Galveston properties managed by My Galveston Getaway. If your groups needs more than one place to stay let us know - we can put you as close (or as far away) as you want to be.

My Galveston Getaway provides starter supplies of toiletries, paper products, dish cleaning options and coffee to get our guests started and situated before making their shopping lists and determining which shopping option works best for their group. These supplies are not intended to last your entire group the duration of your stay - but to get started!

We also provide one bath towel, hand towel and wash cloth for each guest that the unit sleeps, along with 2 dish towels. Should you wish to have additional housekeeping services during your stay or to have linen swaps during your stay, these can be arranged with advance notice upon request at an additional cost.

This condo is owned by a licensed Texas real estate agent.

After making your reservation you will receive a link to complete our renters agreement. The only information we request differently than the booking platforms (VRBO/AirBnB) is your personal email address, the names and ages of each person who will be in the property during your stay, and your driver’s license information as well as an emergency contact should we need to reach someone on your behalf. Thank you for completing this in a timely manner so that we may send you the check-in instructions for the property you have reserved.

beach trip

room was changed to a smaller one due to necessary repairs on rented unit--water was turned off at one point during our stay for more repairs and neighbors were making noise all night since we were on the first floor--probably due to the age of the property--good for kids--don't recommend for just adults-

Condo was awful

We checked in after 4. Condo was dirty. Pets were there before us. Pet hair every where including master bedroom sheets. We had to wash sheets. Dishes in cabinets were dirty. Toaster only had one side that worked. Toilet wouldn’t flush. Garbage disposal backed up into other sink. Didn’t get to cook in condo after buying groceries at Walmart. Could not use balcony. Swept floor no dustpan. This condo definitely needs some deep attention!!! Will never stay there again

Mom & Kids getaway

The location of this property is great. The pool and community area is amazing and very well maintained. The building could use a good face lift. The condo was very well decorated and cute. The cleaning staff didn’t do a great job… had to wipe down counters, and floor needed a good mopping. Great view from the room, wish we would have got to enjoy it from the balcony. Upon arrival we were notified we could not use the balcony and had to sign a waiver. Overall it was a great trip, and our kids all had smiles on their faces.

Location of condo was great. A little disappointed with beach across from condo. All rocks. Had to walk down Seawall to get to sandy beach. Scenery from balcony was perfect but couldn’t sit on balcony due to construction problems. Owners were very helpful with setting up brand new TVs throughout condo. 3 adults and our dog were very comfortable. Condo was aged but everything worked.

Not as listed

I reserved this property approximately 8 weeks in advance. The main reason I choose this property was for the great large oceanview balcony it showed and listed in its description. Although I had spoke with reps multiple times days prior to my check in, I was not informed that the balcony was closed due to structural issues until I actually checked in at the front office. According to the owners of the unit above, the balconies have been closed for several months in that building; however, it was not noted on the property description, reservation, or told to me at the time I reserved the unit. Nor the days prior before I checked in. I contacted Alison at Galveston Getaways, and was told I would not receive a partial refund. They were however, very accommodating to returning my pet deposit since I did not bring my pet. I am grateful for that. The unit is very outdated, and wasnt very clean. There is a very moldy shower curtain, the dryer barely works at all, 2 out of the 3 tvs listed didnt work, and the sheets in the master bedroom were like sandpaper. Also, there is a bad ant problem. The neighbors are great. The pool area is excellent and the location to the beach and the surrounding area is great as well.

Good Location

The location was great! The pools are very nice and just a short walk from the condo. The condo was nice and had most of what you needed. The coffee maker wasn’t amazing and when we arrived the balconies were out of order. One of the main reasons for booking this condo was that it faced the ocean and had an amazing balcony to sit out on and drink your morning coffee. Unfortunately we were not notified the balconies were closed, this was very disappointing. We could have saved a lot of money by staying somewhere else had this information be relayed. I realize this is out of the owners control however you can imagine the disappointment when you show up and go to open this amazing balcony only to realize you can’t. Overall it was good stay but before booking I would clarify if the balconies are open if that is important to you! Other than that the check in process was very easy, the condo was clean and ready when we got there. They have plenty of towels and some toilet paper and stuff to get you started.

The good and the bad

The good....The listing stated this property was updated and I agree to a certain extent. The furniture was newer, functional and ok for a rental. The condo was clean and had sleeping space for 8 although it would have been crowded if all adults. The pool and grounds were nice as well. Loved the pet policy! The bad...IMO a few dollars invested in small kitchen appliances instead of wall decor on every available space would have been money better spent. The blender doesn't work at all and there was nothing else we could use to make frozen smoothies or drinks. There were a few missing or burned out light bulbs in key areas, the balcony, living area and baths. Also a missing light fixture cover in the bunk room. Lastly, I think you should let folks know upfront about the restriction on the air conditioning. Many people would not care that you can only run the air at 72 or higher but for those of us who feel that is too hot it would have been nice to know before booking.

Was dirty. The bedroom door to balcony didn't work. There wasn't beach supplies as promised

Wasn't happy about paying $20 to park your car, especially when there wasn't parking spots available after 9pm. The owner promised beach supplies in a closet that wasn't there. The room was dirty and the bedroom balcony door didn't work. The dryer barley worked unless you wanted to dry your clothes for 2 hrs. The elevators are slow and some didn't work. The Maravilla property is getting old and run down. We will find somewhere new to stay from now on..

Pretty nice place with a great view. Could use a few upgrades, sliding door in master was hard to open and dishwasher didn’t work. Shower head could use an upgrade. Overall our family had a great time!! Location is pretty good! Close to putt putt and go cart racing! Beach access is 0.5 away. Instructions in rental agreement where very helpful! We would consider returning to this unit! Thanks for letting us stay!
