Jun 23, 2025 #### Great lomg weekend Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Love the property and the grounds are beautiful. The rental had everything we needed for 2 people. Darkening window treatments in the bedroom due to hallway lights would be nice. The only thing we were disappointed with was the cleanliness of the beach. I would have thought they would clean the area of debris that washes in right in front of the property for guests. The location of the property is perfect; close to everything and not in the crowds. Would stay again! ##### Renee Z.

Location at the East end of the island is convenient to restaurants, groceries, and fun activities. Clean, well-managed, and the perfect couple or small family place to get away to! ##### Sheri M.

The vacation rental was spotless. I was happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I’ve been bringing my family to the Galvestonian for 20 years. But now it seems the board has lost its mind with the rules. You need a Philadelphia lawyer with you to go through all the new rules. Not exactly the laid back island resort we were hoping for for. Yes the property is nice and our condo was adequate, except for the outside light blaring through our bedroom window. The rules committee and the bureaucrats most be bored and sitting around complaining and coming up with rule after rule. I can tell an out of control HOA when I see one. Poor condo owners. The assessments must be unreal. HOA gone wild! Rules rules rules. What a shame. ##### Del B. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent Apr 20, 2024 #### VERY COMFORTABLE Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great place to stay away from the hassles of downtown. Excellent beach access. Clean, well maintained. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Holiday Inn Resort: Galveston-On The Beach by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Galveston-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Resort-Galveston-On-The-Beach.h16815.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Place Austin Downtown](https://www.expedia.ca/Austin-Hotels-Hyatt-Place-Austin-Downtown.h5437747.Hotel-Information) > > [Moody Gardens Hotel, Spa and Convention Center](https://www.expedia.ca/Galveston-Hotels-Moody-Gardens-Hotel.h157238.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott Austin](https://www.expedia.ca/Austin-Hotels-JW-Marriott-Austin.h8778760.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Austin](https://www.expedia.ca/Austin-Hotels-Hilton-Austin.h976145.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Austin](https://www.expedia.ca/Austin-Hotels-Fairmont-Austin.h18156638.Hotel-Information) > > [Marriott Marquis Houston](https://www.expedia.ca/Houston-Hotels-Marriott-Marquis-Houston.h14986044.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Hyatt San Antonio River Walk](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Antonio-Hotels-Grand-Hyatt-San-Antonio-River-Walk.h1848212.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Dallas](https://www.expedia.ca/Dallas-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Dallas.h24753.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express & Suites Galveston Beach by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Galveston-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-And-Suites-Galveston-Beach.h39353237.Hotel-Information) > > [Austin Marriott Downtown](https://www.expedia.ca/Austin-Hotels-Austin-Marriott-Downtown.h45866780.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Anatole](https://www.expedia.ca/Dallas-Hotels-Hilton-Anatole.h22945.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Dallas](https://www.expedia.ca/Dallas-Hotels-Fairmont-Dallas.h18280.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Galvez Resort, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Galveston-Hotels-Hotel-Galvez-Spa.h8509.Hotel-Information) > > [The LINE Austin](https://www.expedia.ca/Austin-Hotels-The-LINE-Austin.h23193716.Hotel-Information) > > [Omni Dallas Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Dallas-Hotels-Omni-Dallas-Hotel.h4488581.Hotel-Information) > > [Omni Barton Creek Resort & Spa Austin](https://www.expedia.ca/Austin-Hotels-Omni-Barton-Creek-Resort-Spa.h687230.Hotel-Information) > > [The Woodlands Resort, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.ca/Conroe-Hotels-The-Woodlands-Resort.h25794.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Galveston Island Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Galveston-Hotels-Hilton-Galveston-Island-Resort.h4553.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Van Zandt](https://www.expedia.ca/Austin-Hotels-Hotel-Van-Zandt.h10269315.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Houston/Galleria](https://www.expedia.ca/Houston-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-HoustonGalleria.h10620692.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express & Suites Austin Downtown - University by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Austin-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Suites-Austin-Downtown-University.h12302973.Hotel-Information) > > [Omni Austin Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Austin-Hotels-Omni-Austin-Hotel.h8540.Hotel-Information) > > [The Post Oak Hotel at Uptown Houston](https://www.expedia.ca/Houston-Hotels-The-Post-Oak-Hotel-At-Uptown-Houston.h22340244.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Austin](https://www.expedia.ca/Austin-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Austin.h21746.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Houston Downtown](https://www.expedia.ca/Houston-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Houston.h20005.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Americas-Houston](https://www.expedia.ca/Houston-Hotels-Hilton-Americas-Houston.h976144.Hotel-Information) > > [The Tremont House, Galveston, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Galveston-Hotels-The-Tremont-House.h9121.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Dallas Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Dallas-Hotels-Sheraton-Dallas-Hotel.h43540.Hotel-Information) > > [Harbor House Hotel and Marina at Pier 21](https://www.expedia.ca/Galveston-Hotels-Harbor-House-At-Pier-21.h330270.Hotel-Information)
