Anchored By the Sea will calm you Body, Mind, Spirit and Soul! From the moment you step inside you'll be at peace and relaxed! Top floor, full kitchen, views for days! Tranquil yet beachy, anchors reminding you of what anchors you! Peace and love, tranquility, sand, surf, water and sky. You won't want to leave and will be preparing for your next visit before you even leave. And you will be back!

This is THE loveliest 1 bedroom condo at the Victorian complex which is located on Galveston's famed Seawall Boulevard, directly across from Babe's Beach, and having a central location and protect crossing at the corner to get to the beach itself. You will be walking distance to shopping, eateries and more, and only minutes from everything Galveston has to offer, from history and charm, antique shopping, festivals and special Galveston events, the cruise terminals, major traffic arteries, art shopping, local attractions, the convention center which hosts many athletic competitive and social events.

The owners have done everything possible to make the condo comfortable and practical. USB outlets everywhere for charging, every countertop and kitchen appliance you could need - clothing storage galore, and decorated to make you think you are in a lovely hotel room while having so many more amenities! There's a standing fan for those who like it cooler, a fireplace that provides either ambiance and can provided added warmth when needed.

Welcoming up to 6 humans - the private bedroom with barn door has a comfortable queen bed, the living room provides not only access to the balcony from which you can see the coastline but also the 61st Street Fishing Pier, sun, surf and sky - but also a great welcoming and gathering space for your group with plenty of seating by day and a sleeper sofa for extra bed space at night. There is a corner dining area for meals in if you prefer cooking to dining out (though there are a multitude of options around Galveston for that, as well) or a game of cards or a board game for some out of the sun fun time. The kitchen is truly one of a kind and offers all true appliances including not only counter top ones such as toaster and coffee maker, but large refrigerator, a microwave, dishwasher and range - yes both 4 burner cooktop and an oven!

In the hallway alcove you will find true twin bunk beds and the owners have spared no expense in their mattresses on any of the beds - all are equally comfortable.

The full bath features a custom tiled shower and the entire condo has been thoughtfully, tastefully, beachy but not "kitchy" decor.

This will quickly become your "go-to" spot when you think of making your next trip to Galveston and we very much look forward to having you Come Stay With Us!

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.

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.

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.

Beginning with all reservations made on or after May 10, 2025 – there will be a policy change in that WE must collect $35.00 for every reservation at the Victorian which will include up to 2 parking permits, the number of wristbands equivalent to the number of people that the property is advertised to sleep, WiFi password, codes to entry gates and codes to access all property amenities. This will be reflected in your charges when you make your reservation.

Should you have more than 2 vehicles, we will need to know in advance and collect an additional $35 for each 2 vehicles. If rubber touches parking lot – it is a vehicle. That includes cars, golf carts, motorcycles, and trailers. If you arrive to the complex and have additional vehicles, additional parking permits will not be provided for those vehicles and they will be subject to the complex’ towing policies in effect at the time. There is nothing we can do about this, unfortunately, and we turn over that money to them.

This applies to rentals of 1-7 days in duration. For rentals that are longer than that the charge is $70 per month for each 2 vehicles. If you have 3 vehicles and are staying 30 nights it will be $70. If you have 3-4 vehicles it will be $140.

We will need to ask you in advance how many vehicles you will be bringing so that we can request additional funds from you if necessary as the platforms no longer allow us to collect those fees off-platform.

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.
