Welcome to Beach Time by My Galveston Getaway at the Victorian-a spacious 2 BR (queen in each) plus tiny room (not really - just didn't know what else to call it and since there's no closet it's not REALLY a bedroom) with a daybed and trundle, and a queen sleeper sofa. Beach Time welcomes up to 8 guests. The kitchen has a 2 burner cook top (see below), convection oven, full sized fridge, microwave & dishwasher plus all you'll need to prepare your meal or warm up leftovers. 3 Flat panel TVs!
Beach Time is a unique condo in that you can walk right out the front door to the beach - however - you are not able to lock the door from the outside (safety precaution!) so be sure if you are truly leaving the complex you lock this door from the inside. While you can park right in front to load or unload your vehicle - you cannot park here permanently - just for a few minutes. But don't worry - there is plenty of parking at the complex in the gated section of the complex.
Speaking of this - please be sure to keep your kiddos in sight at all times - as if they walk out this door, they are going to end up in the front driveway of the complex and safety is the # 1 priority for all of our guests!
Please also note that the cooktop is a convection style - there must be a pot or pan on the burner in order for it to activate. Push the on button, then the burner you wish to use and then up or down for temperatures 1 through 5 - again - the pot or pan must be on the burner (and these are special pans - VERY EXPENSIVE PANS) in order for it to heat. Another safety feature.
The Victorian Complex charges $35 per stay (under 30 days) as a parking/resort/amenity fee per unit. This is paid directly at the front desk of the property - not to My Galveston Getaway. When you arrive you'll check in with them ( we will have pre-registered you) to pay this fee and to obtain your wrist bands identifying you as a registered guest on the property, the WiFi code, gate entry code, pool, fitness room, hot tub codes. Good news - your unit is RIGHT NEXT DOOR to this office!
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.
The Victorian complex staff will greet you at their office upon arrival to verify you are a registered guest and collect the Facilities Access Fee that they charge all guests on property which is $35 per stay up to 14 days or $70 per month - and this fee provides you with up to 6 wristbands that identify you as registered guests on the property - codes to the entry gates both drive through and walk-through, as well as codes to access pools, outdoor restrooms, fitness center - as well as up to 2 parking permits valid for the duration of your stay.
What's included: Bed linens for all beds, bath, hand and wash cloth for each guest that the unit welcomes. We do not provide beach/pool towels and we do ask that ours 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 not intended to last your entire group through your entire stay - but to get in, get situated and figure out where you will shop for what on the island.
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. All properties managed by My Galveston Getaway are 100% non-smoking/non-vaping properties.
