quick facts

vacation rental description

Experience a tropical paradise at beautiful "Galveston Tropical Palms" at the Maravilla Resort Condominium. From your spacious balcony (at 385 sq ft it is one of the largest private balconies on the Island), you can view the Gulf of Mexico, as well as the enjoy the lush vegetation surrounding the two pools, the secluded hot tub and the bubbling rock waterfall and meandering brook.

Your Galveston Island Condo features two bedrooms. From the elegant master bedroom you can walk directly to the balcony complete with wooden patio furniture and many plants.  It's the perfect place for romantic evenings or your early morning coffee.

 Between the two bathrooms there is a double ceramic tiled shower for your relaxation and enjoyment.

The living/dining/eating area is open so it is easy to visit with family and friends. You can choose to dine at the antique table in front of the window or eat at the barstools on the granite counter or dine on  the balcony (placemats and cloth napkins provided).

The sparkling clean designer kitchen features granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. Since this is my vacation home away from home it is fully equipped with dishes, glasses, a blender, wine and marguerita glasses, champagne flutes, an electric skillet, an electric griddle as well as variety of spices and condiments for your use.

In case you want to "work" or find out more about some of the key Galveston tourist spots on your vacation, there is free WiFi in the main lobby.  And if you want to "workout", there is an exercise/weight room where you can watch the gently waves of the Gulf as you exercise.

activities and attractions in Galveston Texas

"Galveston Tropical Palms" is on the Seawall, so you can stroll and watch the waves or bike from one end to the other. Your vacation paradise is close enough to downtown so you can experience all that Galveston was to offer - shopping, antiques, restaurants, The Strand, cruise ship dockings - yet far enough away that you are not in "tourist heaven".

Since you will be on the west end of Galveston Island, you are also close to Schiltterbahn Water Park, Moody Gardens, the newly opened Moody Gulf course, the movie theatre and miniature golf.

Perfect for get away

MO (Pearland, Texas, USA)
Review submitted: September 29, 2011   Date of arrival: September 9, 2011

This was my fourth time to rent at the Maravilla and each time seems better than before. The condo was spacious and equipped with every thing we needed to entertain ourselves. The patio is always our favorite spot to gather and soak up the beautiful scenery and weather. I have never seen the Galveston bay water so blue and inviting. Thank you again for sharing the Tropical Palms. I'll be back and soon.

Recommended for: age 55+, families with young children, families with teenagers, girls getaway, sight seeing, romantic getaway

Owners response: We so enjoy our repeat visitors (who become our friends). In addition, we appreciate their ideas and suggestions to make our condo even more inviting. We look forward to your FIFTH visit next year! And I agree, Galveston Bay has been particularly blue this Fall.

THE PERFECT PLACE TO STAY!!

Review submitted: June 7, 2011   Date of arrival: June 2, 2011

The Condo was great! Very Spacious inside and out on the balcony. We had 5 adults and a 22 month old with us and we had a great time! The kitchen was well equipped for enjoying breakfast, lunch and dinner. The balcony is huge and you can get there by either the living room or the master bedroom which was very convenient! The pools and spa were fantastic also! You can't go wrong renting this condo any time of the year. Marilyn is very nice and makes it so easy to rent and walk right in. Thanks for a great stay and we will definitely be back!

We enjoyed our short Spring Break trip to Galveston, thanks to Marilyn and the use of her wonderful condo! We were really pleased that our Hawaiian-born, beach loving dog could come with us! We all loved the huge lanai that overlooked the pool. The condo was really relaxing and comfortable with beautiful upgraded bathrooms and kitchen. My girls were excited about the amazing pool. My husband and I appreciated the restaurant recommendationso. We have already passed along the condo information to some friends and would definitely return to Maravilla! Thanks for a great family mini-vacation!
