vacation rental description

From the moment you arrive at our lovely condo, "Galveston Tropical Sundancer" at the Maravilla Resort Condominium you will be impressed.  The beautiful floors, granite counter tops, cherry cabinets and tropical designer furninshings are there to welcome you.  Often its a dificult decision, should you sit on the balcony and watch the waves or enjoy the lush vegetation surrounding the two resort-style Maravilla pools, the secluded hot tub and the bubbling rock waterfall and meandering brook.

Your Galveston Island Condo features two bedrooms. The elegant master bedroom has a king bed and flat screen HDTV with cable.  In addition you can walk directly to the balcony complete with two lounge chairs and a round table with seating for four.  It's the perfect place for romantic evenings or your early morning coffee.  

Your master suite features an oversized tiled shower with amazing shower jets.

The second bedroom feaures a queen-size canopy bed along with a TV hooked to a XBox 360 Arcade and a VCR

The living/dining/eating area is open so it is easy to visit with family and friends. You can choose to dine at the table, at the counter (2 barstools) or eat outside on the balcony.

The sparkling clean designer kitchen features granite countertops and cherry wood appliances. Your kitchen is fully equipped with dishes, glasses, a blender, a smoothie maker, wine glasses and  champagne flutes, 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 Sundancer" 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 near 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.

traveler reviews for this galveston condo rental

What an awesome view!

Mike (Magnolia, Texas)
Review submitted: April 29, 2013   Date of arrival: March 5, 2013

What a GREAT place! My family and I have been going to Galveston for years for several “mini-vacations” a year and have stayed all over the place. That is until we rented our first condo from Marilyn and Larry! We are hooked now and don’t stay anywhere else. The furnishings are gorgeous at all of their condos and the appliances are all up to date and in working order. This was our first stay in this particular condo and it may be our favorite yet! It’s not hard to miss the sunrise in the mornings when all you have to do is roll over in the super comfy king size bed and look out the sliding glass door. We were up early every morning to make sure we didn’t miss it! Beautifully decorated and all the comforts to make you feel right at home.

Thank once again you Marilyn and Larry for your hospitality and sharing your beautiful place with us...
See you soon,
Mike, Linda and Family

Beautiful!

Review submitted: April 7, 2013   Date of arrival: March 29, 2013

My family and I loved this condo. The pictures do not do it justice. It is very roomy, well lit and clean. The kitchen is large and well stocked. The owners went out of their way to accommodate us and made it very easy to do business with them. I would recommend this place to anyone!

Owners response: We are so glad you enjoyed your trip to Galveston and our condo. It is always special to us when we have out of state visitors (Maryland) and we can share all the fun things Galveston has to offer including warm weather in March. We look forward to your next visit - remember the 10% discount for our returning guests.

I will come back to this condo again

Suzanne (Bacliff, TX)
Review submitted: March 26, 2013   Date of arrival: February 12, 2013

I live on the Galveston mainland. I come to Galveston every week for business and I just love the island. My grown daughter was visiting from Chicago the week of Valentine's day and I thought that renting this condo with its great gulf view would be a fun way to make her visit special.

The weather turned out to be perfect and we had a blast sitting for hours under the palm tree on the balcony catching up with each others lives. The kitchen was well stocked with equipment and the grocery store is just down the street, so we had everything we needed to feel right at home.

I will return to this condo again because the owner offered me superlative customer service (she made me feel like a old friend), the elevator made it easy for me to get down to the parking lot, and my dog appreciated that a grassy area was close by. It's the little things that can make a vacation either special, or a nightmare. My obstacles were that I have a bad hip and and small dog, and I was happy that walking my dog was not too difficult to accomplish.

I have rented Galveston Island hotel rooms many times over the years. Now that I am familiar with Galveston Tropical Condos I will probably never stay anywhere else. Why pay the same price (or more) for the same view at a hotel when I can rent an entire condo with an equipped kitchen?

Thank you to the owner for making our stay very comfortable, we'll be back. :-)

Owners response: So glad you enjoyed the condo and your time in Galveston. We agree with you, staying at a condo is far superior than a hotel room. In fact, that's what we do when we travel - stay at condos where you have a chance to experience a loving home instead of a hotel room. We look forward to your next visit either when you travel to Galveston for work or whern your daughter gets to join you. Remember the returning guest discount.
