Unit was very clean. This was the second time we had stayed in this unit. We have stayed at the Galvestonian many times, but this time we noticed there were fewer pool umbrellas than in the past. Not sure why.

Thank you so much for your 5-star review and for taking the time to share your feedback! We appreciate your kind words. Thank you for your comment about the pool umbrellas.

Complete bust. Poured rain the entire time. Have been coming for years. That’s never happened. It was very expensive to not be able to enjoy beach. Will have to reconsider for future trips because of cancellation policy sadly
Response from VrboOwner on Aug 8, 2024
Natalie, thank you for your review and comments. The summer weather is unpredictable. We are happy to hear you have been coming for years and always enjoyed your time on the Island. Our rental committee is considering offering trip insurance on future bookings. Hopefully that would be helpful if this was to occur again. Unfortunately, we cannot allow cancellations due to rain. Hope to see you again soon.

Reviewer Comments:
Unit 804 is a beautiful, remodeled unit with lots of built ins and good use of space. It is unusual and not for families that need maximum privacy, but we loved the open concept. Unfortunately, both beds were extremely soft (we tried both before deciding to check out early) and we left the next morning with sore backs and great disappointment.
Response from VrboOwner on Jun 4, 2024
Susan, we are happy that you appreciated the décor and cleanliness of the condo. We are sorry that the beds were too soft for you but in an attempt to have beds that work for “most” guests the owners chose what Serta called “medium firm” with a 4.5/5 customer rating.
We have also addressed the moveable privacy wall between the rooms by adding better instructions on how to adjust the blinds correctly to make the wall totally private when looking from the living room into the bedroom.
We hope you enjoyed the remainder of your stay at The Galvestonian

This beautiful 2 bedroom condo is a classy stay. The owners have upgraded most every amenity you can think of. The instructional notes around the condo are very helpful. The decor and open floor plan utilizes the views of the beach. I always look forward to that Galvestonian pool. Arrival day pool was sparkling, 3 days later it was a sloppy mess that I had no desire to enter. Especially with the young summer time visitors, please consider daily pool maintenance. This was my only disappointment.

Steve, thank you for your 5-star review! We're thrilled you enjoyed your stay. Our pool is meticulously maintained twice daily, though heavy use during peak season can sometimes affect clarity. We appreciate your understanding.

The condo was sparkling clean, breathtakingly beautiful, and had everything you could need. The decor,lighting,and bathrooms added to the elegance. The beds were so comfortable. The rooms were soundproof and were very quiet. We loved sitting on the balcony enjoying the views. I use a walker, and the ramp from the condo to the beach was like walking on a paved highway and was very easy to navigate. We enjoyed walking on the beach, walking on the Strand, Seawolf Park, Murdock’s, East Beach, eating at Nick’s, and cooking, drinking champagne, and relaxing at the condo. We just wished we could have stayed longer. My two daughters, granddaughter, and I were celebrating my 80th birthday! I would highly recommend this condo!

For decades, I i’ve come to the Galvestonian for holidays. And, for years, I have been hauling down things like olive oil & sweeteners so that I can cook – – or even just enjoy coffee the way I like it. The owner of this unit has thought of all of those things already! There are even single use packets of sunscreen, something I also perpetually forget. The unit itself is just gorgeous and updated in a way that could serve as a template for many other owners. Altering the orientation of the kitchen and creating a comfortable place where many people can gather, and yet still see the beautiful views was a stroke of brilliance. Highly recommend!

Reviewer Comments:
The place was nice and clean. New upgraded look to unit was nice. Location was a plus out of the busy areas of town. Kitchen Faucet very frustrating and did not work properly the whole time even following instructions for use. Privacy in the front bathroom is non-existent so everyone can hear you only a partition from sight. Bathroom needs to be enclosed. Cabinet hinges where coming off and the trash can cabinet screws fell out. No lighter for using the provided grills downstairs and front desk has nothing, Was not told that both washer and dryer were not working until we got there and saw a sticky note on them so none of us could wash our clothes or dry wet towels. Ice machine is unavailable unless you ask the front desk and it is across the property inside a locked room they have to unlock so not convienient. If you bring a cart for getting your stuff to the beach they will let you out but you cannot get back in so we had to lug everything up the stairs one by one. You have to wear a wristband at all times and you cannot sleep in these things well at all.

Reviewer Comments:
Complaint - I called the day before for early check-in. I was told no one was in the unit the night before we arrived so I assumed it was clean. I was told to call the next morning to verify early check. That morning, they told me a 2 hour early check in was $50 extra which is ridiculous, but OK. We arrived at 2 and the room was not ready. Hard to understand, the manager told us they needed to check the room, make sure the AC is on, etc...The room was not ready until close to 4 PM. Not a big disappointment but it just seemed they were either short staffed or low on customer service. You would think 2 phone calls prior to arrival would have made early check-in possible. The unit was quite nice, well maintained although the there was no ice in the ice maker, and it didn't seem to work so we had to get ice from downstairs. Using curtains for the bathroom entry in the MBR was strange. Other than that, the property is well maintained, the lobby coffee in the morning is a bonus. The pool and grilling area are well maintained.

We have stayed in the same room a few times, but it was booked. We had our eye on 804 as another choice. So glad we ended up in this room. It is now going to be our go-to rental for Galveston. Kitchen was beyond what you would expect in a rental. The decor and design were top notch. Not your usual beach decor. Temps were in the low 80's & the Galvestonian was really quiet. Ocean a lovely blue!
