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.

Spring Break 2013

Andrea (Texas)
Review submitted: March 18, 2013   Date of arrival: March 11, 2013

The condo at Maravilla was wonderful! All the comforts of home. My husband and I took our 8 year old son, niece and nephew. The set-up of the condo was perfect for us. The kids really enjoyed the pool area. The extra large patio was an added bonus. I would highly recommend booking through Marilyn for your vacation.

Recommended for: age 55+, families with young children, families with teenagers, girls getaway, pet-friendly, romantic getaway

Owners response: So glad that you had a wonderful spring break holiday at our Tropical Palms. Wow that Galveston weather was incredible and perfect for enjoying the balcony. We look forward to your next visit....maybe this can be a spring break tradition.

Secluded, Quiet & Restful!

Family from Katy, TX (Katy, Texas)
Review submitted: January 9, 2013   Date of arrival: January 1, 2013

My wife, 10 year old son, and golden retriever simply had a WONDERFUL time staing for 4 days in this condo right during the first 4 days of January! Our stay was secluded, quiet and restful! The unit was larger than what we anticipated, and the lay-out was spendid for a busy family. Beautifully upgraded kitchen fully stocked with utensils, dishes, potwares, etc. We enjoyed sitting in front of the big Tv and watching DVDS as a family (a large selection of DVDS were avalable for our use!). Roomy bedrooms....large walk-in shower.....lot's of closets.....and HUGE patio with comfy furniture!!

The property is located in the more quite, western part of the island.....nice, friendly neighbors.....convenient parking.....near all stores.....very safe! It was truly a "home away from home". Our business interactions with the private property owner, Marilyn, was easy & friendly.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! We're hoping to come back again!!

Recommended for: adventure seekers, age 55+, families with young children, people with disabilities, families with teenagers, girls getaway, pet-friendly, sight seeing, romantic getaway

Owners response: We are pleased that you enjoyed your stay at our Tropical Palms. We too enjoy the huge balcony and gazing at that special tall palm tree when the moon is shining. Likewise we are pleased that you enjoyed our DVDs. We have over 125 different DVDs that we rotate among our five condos so there is lots of different choices from classics to chick flicks to kids DVDs to some "mild" adventure. We look forward to your next visit.
