We had a great trip. The unit was very well kept and quite comfortable. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. My son loved the little bunk beds and we all slept well. The best part was that we were able to bring our small dog with us on vacation.
The pool was very well kept and was never crowded, even on Memorial Day weekend. Steve was also very responsive to our emails.

We stayed in this condo for our summer vacation the first week of June 2012. I was hesitant about renting through an individual, but Steve was a pleasure to work with, quick to respond, and made it an wonderful experience! We even received our deposit back with in a couple days after we left!
The condo was very clean, well decorated and fully stocked with everything we needed - and then some! There is lots of pantry space, and closet space to store your stuff. Our kids loved the condo as much as we did. The views were fantastic - we got some amazing pictures from the balcony! The pools were nice and clean. Everyone around seemed nice and helpful as well. We would definitely stay here again on our next visit to Galveston!
Thanks for sharing your condo with us Steve!

Hello Galveston Island!

For our first trip to Galveston, I was determined to find a place on the Gulf with good water views, a nice pool,in a relatively quiet location; a very clean condo with a user-friendly kitchen, decent-sized balcony to sit out on, comfortable seating inside, clean bathroom and bedroom(s)and COMFORTABLE BEDS. That's a lot to expect, but we got it all!
The condo was laid out well and decorated throughout in a very nice, fresh, beachy theme. The kitchen was a delight to cook in,with new appliances, light, bright, clean, very well stocked with dishes, utensils, pots & pans, microwave, serving pieces, mixer, toaster,coffee maker, etc. The bar to eat at has 3 or 4 comfy stools.
The bathroom was large, bright and clean and had a good sized, multi-shelved storage closet. I was delighted to find nice quality towels and washcloths there, color coordinated for the bathroom. A small touch, but one that shows these landlords care about quality and ambiance.
The bedroom was small, but the bed was very comfortable! The closet was stocked with lots of hangers. Our 17 y/o daughter was pleasantly surprised as to how comfortable her bunk bed was. There was a built-in light for reading there,too.
The living room is small, but nicely furnished. The tv and DVD players both work well and there was a nice supply of books and magazines for guests. The patio balcony is easily large enough for four and the sturdy resin Adirondack chairs out there, very comfortable. The views of the Gulf are great from it!
On both sides of the condo complex are large undeveloped areas, which makes staying at Maravilla much more quiet and peaceful than at many other condos and hotels we checked out while there. The 2 pools are nice, clean and have many chaise lounges and chairs. You can see the Gulf from the pool. Nice!
There is construction going on at the back of Maravilla. They're rebuilding an entire back group of condos, but noise from it was very minimal.
When we were there, we were able to park in the covered area under the building with no problems. One word of warning, though: everywhere you go on the island, including Maravilla's covered parking area, your car windows are quickly covered with blurry salt film from the sea air. Next time, we'll keep a bottle of Windex and a roll of paper towels in the car. You definitely need them!
We left the condo clean and received our entire damage deposit back within 5 days. My family and I would highly recommend this lovely condo.

Condo was just lovely. So close to everything you could want to do. Views on the site as just as they show - GORGEOUS! Owner was very helpful and prompt when I had questions. My family and I are already planning our next trip down there to stay at this condo. It was very nice, clean and quiet. Not a party scene at all. Safe place for kids, too.

Our family had a great stay over the July 4th celebration! The condo was perfect for us, there were 5 of us, it was just right for our family. I love the condo very clean, nice and the decor made our ocean experence special. The owner was very nice and couldn't beat the price! The pool is very nice with hot tub. We watched the fire works right from our balcony. Plus it was nice to set and watch the ocean early morning and in the evening. Our fun didn't stop till we checked out.
We would recomend this codo for any family! Thank you Steve for sharing your condo with us. We had a very nice time with no problems!

We rented the condo for 5 nights during the Memorial Day weekend.
First of all the owners were very helpful and always answered emails/phone calls quickly! The condo was wonderful, nicely equiped for a family of 6 but more comfortable for 4 I would say.
The view of the gulf was very nice. The first night we had a full moon and we could see the moon and the moonlight on the water!
Thank you for a wonderful stay, we will be contacting you again when we decide to come back to Galveston!
