Away from the crowds yet close to everything

Welcome to Galveston Island known for its beaches and rich history. Galveston offers many attractions such as Schlitterbahn Water Park and Moody Gardens where glass pyramids house sharks, monkeys and other animals. Visit the historical Galveston Pleasure Pier with shops, restaurants, arcade and amusement rides all out over the ocean. There is a train museum and two WWII ship museums at Seawolf Park. Johnson Space Center,
mission control, is twenty minutes away. Lastly Galveston hosts one of the largest historical districts in the country. The Strand District has the largest collection of early 19th Century commercial architecture anywhere in the United States. The city also hosts a half dozen or more of famous Victorian Style mansions open to the public. Come play, relax and enjoy the rich history. There is construction going on but not to this unit.
The pool construction is set to begin on November 18th 2024.
The Resort pool area will remain CLOSED until March of 2025.
Which means we will be without the hot tub, kiddie pool, and resort pool.
The heated pool will remain open.

Parking Fee 10.00 per night per vehicle

Never judge a book by it's cover
The property was under construction. It gave an unsettling feeling. But once we finally got to our unit. We were pleasantly surprised. A few suggestions: keep a stock of toilet paper, paper towels, bath towels, and last kitchen sink hot water wasn't getting hot. Outside of these few things the stay was good.

Beautiful Views
We truly enjoyed our stay on Labor Day weekend. The condo has beautiful views directly facing the gulf, which was so nice to see out of the windows and from the large balcony. The amenities were great too - the pool area and huge and always clean. There are multiple pools, volleyball court, seating areas, etc. there is public beach access directly across the street which was easy and convenient. I loved that it’s just a bit further down from the main busy part of seawall blvd so we were able to avoid big crowds at the beach. The host is very quick to respond and is helpful. Thanks again and we look forward to staying again in the future.

Grandparents and 4 Children
We spent 3 nights in Galveston with our 4 grandkids. They absolutely loved the pool. We appreciated the 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, which was easier and cheaper than getting 2 hotel rooms. We used the kitchen to cook a couple of meals and the washer and dryer were wonderful to keep up with all the wet towels and swimsuits. We did not go to the beach directly across from the condo, because we like to rent chairs and umbrellas and have access to restrooms. There were plenty of towels (both bathroom and beach). The kitchen had dishes, pans, utensils, etc. The owner was very easy to contact and dealt with a minor issue promptly. We enjoyed our stay!

This was a wonderful place for a Galveston getaway. Our property manager, Larry, was so great to work with. He made sure everything met our satisfaction. Resort has three pools and a hot tub and so close to the beach. Beautiful place to stay.

Awesome!
We had a great time staying at this condo. The condo was clean and had everything we needed and had plenty of space. The view from our balcony was probably the best on the property. The owner was extremely helpful and stayed in communication with us. The pool was amazing and I would love to stay here again in the future.

My family and I really enjoyed our stay. I LOVE the view of the large patio balcony of the pool and the ocean. The condo was very clean and AC was very cool. So glad it looked just like the pictures posted. The property is clean and pools are sparkling. Thank you so much for hosting me and my family. We cherished our time here and I hope you will have us back!

Enjoyable Maravilla Visit
The condo was nicely redone. The view from the lanai was beautiful. The pool was really nice. The grounds themselves were nice, even though the street-presence left a bit to be desired as the as they were significantly under repair and didn’t show well. There was a problem with the cleaning service, so the condos was down-rated, but the owner made quick adjustments. Overall, we enjoyed our stay at Maravilla!

Great location on the Seawall! The patio view is amazing over looking the pool and Gulf of Mexico. If you have trouble with stairs, there are about 10 stairs to get to the front door and both rooms and bathrooms are on the 2nd floor of the condo. We me friends for a weekend getaway! We had a nice time!
