This was a really nice rental property right on the beachfront. The rooms were clean with abundant bedding and towels. The kitchen was perfect for our needs. There were three TVs at the property, but the Gulf view is so captivating there is no need for them. It was a really relaxing time with a property so close to excellent seafood, Italian and pub foods as well as the attractions at Moody Gardens, Schlitterbahn and the Pleasure Pier. The property had two pools and a massive hot tub. A terrific place to relax and enjoy a nightcap. This was a terrific vacation stay!

The property was very clean and well maintained. Basic everyday essentials were provided and very easy to find within the condo. The location of this condo has wonderful views of the Seawall and the sea. For dinner we doordashed and Uber Eats and the food delivery people were very familiar with the process for dropping off the food and it was wonderful because they brought it directly to the condo door. We also love that the pool amenity had three water temperatures that you could choose from. One pool was very warm, one pool was cold and the pool in the middle was more of a cool temperature. It is located close to the beach, however it was very quiet. We could not hear any traffic noise at night and I feel like all the residents within the building were very respectful of each other. We definitely plan to rent here again in the future.

Great location in Galveston

Emerald at the Sea is a great location in Galveston, close to the Strand, restaurants and the beach. Check in was easy, parking was even easier, and the condo was well appointed. My husband has limited mobility, and the pool mobility chair was easy to use so he could enjoy time in the water. We enjoyed our stay over Memorial Day weekend.
