Guests were in mind with every decision made in this welcoming condo. The primary bedroom with queen bed has gulf views out the bay window, and en-suite half bath. There is a second half bath in the hallway – and accessed through each of these two half baths is the bathing area. There is a second bedroom with a queen bed, a bunk area with a curtain for privacy, and the sleeper sofa in the living room makes the property able to welcome up to 8 guests. The living room offers a door to the private balcony of the condo from which you’ll watch the birds soar, the water meet the sky, and the beach goers enjoying sunbathing, surfing and sandcastle building. There’s a dinette table in this area as well which is open to the kitchen with large refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, 2 burner electric cooktop and countertop oven so you can warm leftovers from the hundreds of restaurants featuring every type of cuisine imagineable from fast food to fine dining, or whip up a family favorite meal. Cookware appropriate to the cooking options, dishware, glassware, cookware – it’s all right here for your use during your stay. The Victorian complex has two simming pools – both of which are heated in the off-season, 2 hot tubs, a tennis court, BBQ grills and picnic areas/pergolas around the grounds. You won’t run out of things to do. Galveston’s Babe’s Beach is across Seawall Boulevard from the condo, and there is a protected crossing at the corner just a few steps from the complex entrance. Also within walking distance you’ll find a pizza place, a big box store (won’t mention names but it starts with a W), a fro-yo shop and more. Galveston has much more than a beach to welcome you – from history to museums, to architecture, shopping, an entertainment venue with movie theater & bowling alley, another with go-karts and axe throwing – you’ll want to extend your stay to fit it all in – or make several trips to Sandy Seashores as our returning guests will receive a “repeat offender” discount. Visiting Galveston for one of the many competitive events hosted here? Cheer, dance, sports tournaments or conferences? Weddings, family reunions, class reunions, festivals, homes tours, or any other groups? Why squeeze into a tiny hotel room when your entire group could stay in their own condos and enjoy "together time" at the pools, hot tubs, etc. instead! The Victorian complex is located across from Babe’s Beach on Galveston’s Seawall – protected by traffic signals at both corners so you can safely walk across to the beach. There’s a huge big box store that starts with a W next door for all your shopping needs, and eateries in walking distance for sandwiches and BBQ. What's included: While we provide our guests with self check-in information and instructions, you can call us with any questions you may have at any time. You will have exclusive use of the entire condo - and share the pools, hot tubs, fitness center, tennis court and grounds including BBQ pergolas, fish cleaning station and a multitude of outdoor spaces with other guests and residents of the Victorian condominium complex. You certainly COULD stay here without a car - you can walk to shopping, eateries and the beach, there is public transportation nearby, and there are several local and nationally "branded" taxi services as well as ride share (Uber, Lyft) programs in place as well as meal deliveries (UberEats, ASAP (formerly WAITR) and DoorDash available as well. We provide self check in instructions 24-72 hours prior to arrival - and when you are on vacation - YOU ARE ON VACATION. Should you need to reach us, however, we are but a phone call or email away and ready to assist you. We are happy to answer any questions at any time, but to ensure we give you the correct code we cannot provide access instructions earlier than this. Bed linens for all beds, one bath, hand and wash cloth for each guest that the unit welcomes. We do not provide beach/pool towels as when we did – they continuously went home with our guests. If you wish to “rent” beach towels from us – it is $25 for condos that accommodate up to 6 guests and $35 for condos that accommodate up to 8 guests. Which is only the additional cost of the laundering of them – labor time, laundry products, etc. We will need to have a credit card on file for this as if there are beach towels missing upon your departure, the charge is $25 per towel. We ask that our bath towels not be removed from the condo and taken to the beach or pool. They can get damaged or lost. Starter supplies: 2 rolls of 2-ply, quilted toilet paper, a roll of paper towels, a dishwasher tablet, small dishwashing liquid, sponge, 2 small soaps, 2 small shampoos, trash bag, and coffee including sweeteners, stir sticks, powdered creamer to make that first pot. These are intended to get you started while you make your list and decide where to shop (there is a WalMart, Kroger, Randall's, Arlan's and Target on the island, as well as many mom & pop grocery stores. The Victorian condominium complex is located on Seawall Boulevard with protected (traffic signal) crossing at the corner for ease of getting to the beach. You will be close to shopping and eateries - so whether you plan to experience Galveston's culinary adventures or save money by cooking in (some or all of your meals) it's convenient from this central Seawall Boulevard Location. The Victorian condominium complex – like almost every condominium complex and hotel in Galveston, charges a parking/resort/amenity fees. This is not a charge from My Galveston Getaway and is paid directly to the complex upon your arrival. They will issue a parking permit and may issue wristbands that identify guests who are authorized at the complex. They will also provide guests with the codes for the gates to enter the property - both drive-through and walk through, pools, hot tubs, fitness center and the WiFi code which is changed monthly. It is a complex-wide WiFi system. The charge is $35 + tax and includes up to 2 parking permits. This is for stays that are up to 7 consecutive nights in duration. For stays of 8-31 days it is $70 + tax, and for extended stays it is $70 + tax per month. We are unable to collect this in advance and pay it to the Victorian on your behalf. We don’t get to make the rules, we just play by them! There are several pay-per-use laundry facilities at the Victorian, these accept credit and debit cards as methods of payment. Many of our owners have switched out to “Smart” TV’s – so bring your login information with you to sign in to your own subscription services, and don’t forget to log-out before leaving. The Victorian complex does not allow renters to have a pet – so if you travel with Fido or Fifi – please check out the other My Galveston Getaway managed properties that ARE dog friendly. While true service animals are an exception – you very well may be asked by the complex to provide the verification. For short term rental/vacation purposes – emotional support animals are not considered true support animals and we are unable to make exceptions to a rule that is in place and enforced by a complex in which we manage condos. Kindly be respectful. We strive for 5 star reviews at all times - and the first part of that is notifying everyone of every cost they may incur so that there are no surprises. If during your stay with us you find any reason that you are not able to rate our service and the property a 5 star review based upon the description of the property, that the pictures accurately depict the property, or our courteous service - please let us know and give us the opportunity to turn that frown upside down and EARN your 5 star review. 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. All properties managed by My Galveston Getaway are 100% non-smoking/non-vaping properties. Galveston is a barrier island located in the Gulf of Mexico. The island is susceptible to rainstorms, thunderstorms and even a hurricane now and then. Sometimes these result in temporary power and WiFi outages. We strongly encourage our renters to consider purchasing trip interruption/cancellation protection either through the platform that you book through or some other source. My Galveston Getaway issues refunds if a governmental official issues a mandatory evacuation of the island. Unfortunately we are unable to control sunshine, temperatures and mosquitos and do not refund other than pursuant to our policy based on evacuation orders. Thank you for understanding. Again – the parking/resort/amenities/facilities fee is one charged by the condominium complex, not by the owner of the condo or My Galveston Getaway and we appreciate your understanding. For all reservations made directly through our website and through VRBO, there is a $300 security deposit “hold” required. You certainly can purchase trip cancellation/interruption coverage through those platforms as well if you so desire, this is a damage “deposit” hold. This is released once our housekeepers advise that the property has been left in the condition received with no damages occurring during your stay. This is not a charge, but a hold on the credit card on file with which the reservation is made. Should there be damages and they exceed $300 to repair or replace, you will be ## Property amenities ### Beach - On the beach ### Pool/Spa - Communal pool - Heated pool - Hot tub ### Internet - Available in the condo: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Car recommended - Onsite parking options include a garage ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1.5 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Fenced yard - Garden ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Elevator - Smoking not allowed - Note from host: Outdoors only,doors closed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - Near a health/beauty spa - Near the bay - Near the marina - Near the ocean - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Gym - Heated pool - Tennis - Water park - Theme park nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden - Unit size: 721 square feet ## Similar properties ![A heated pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/94000000/93360000/93351000/93350902/5a77e2b0.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Salty Kisses at the Victorian (GVR05017) Near West End - Ocean view - Pool - Hot tub - Kitchen 8.6 Excellent 7 reviews CA $129 CA $513 total includes taxes & fees Nov 12 - Nov 13 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-12&endDate=2025-11-13&selected=93350902&PinnedHotelID=93350902&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/80000000/79810000/79802900/79802894/977f3b57.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Victorian Near West End - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi 7.2 Good 153 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-20&endDate=2025-11-21&selected=79802894&PinnedHotelID=79802894&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/28000000/27480000/27476900/27476810/9d8b7f84.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Mermaid's Retreat-Beachfront at the Dawn Near West End - Ocean view - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer 9.2 Wonderful 147 reviews CA $113 CA $531 total includes taxes & fees Nov 19 - Nov 20 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-19&endDate=2025-11-20&selected=27476810&PinnedHotelID=27476810&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/102000000/101190000/101185400/101185315/w2400h1599x0y1-1a895983.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Gulf & Pool view, Washer & Dryer, Families Love it Near West End - Ocean view - Pool - Hot tub - Kitchen 10 Exceptional 9 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-20&endDate=2025-11-21&selected=101185315&PinnedHotelID=101185315&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33650000/33643500/33643477/c5021aee.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### SPECIAL 20% off 2 night stay BEACHFRONT UPDATED condo 3 bedroom/2 baths Near West End - Ocean view - Pool - Hot tub - Kitchen 9.4 Exceptional 129 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-20&endDate=2025-11-21&selected=33643477&PinnedHotelID=33643477&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/83000000/82150000/82141300/82141215/a2b13b87.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### FLIP FLOPS at the Victorian-Gulf Front Sleeps 8 Near West End - Ocean view - Pool - Hot tub - Kitchen 9.0 Wonderful 18 reviews CA $102 CA $478 total includes taxes & fees Nov 12 - Nov 13 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-12&endDate=2025-11-13&selected=82141215&PinnedHotelID=82141215&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![A heated pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/105000000/104400000/104395700/104395695/caa56a69.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### DolphinSmile 3 Pools Panorama View!
