Overall, the Galvestonian was a nice place to getaway for a couple of nights. The unit was well stocked and clean.
Very clean. All the staff was Great. The perfect view of the beach from the room. Pool was amazing. The kids loved it. We will definitely be coming back
The Galvestonian is the best condo option on the island! We love staying here and have never had a problem! It is always clean & well staffed. We also feel safe here even with children and teen girls. The Starfish Sanctuary unit we stayed in for this particular trip, was absolutely fantastic! The views of the pool, grill area, green grass, beach, ocean, all of it is just wonderful!! This unit also gives a couple or teenagers their own little ‘area’ complete with beds, closet, bathroom, etc. We would love to stay in this exact home again.

Reviewer Comments:
The front desk is not there for hospitality, they act as an HOA. Management & employees are very rude, unprofessional, and unwelcoming. They require you to wear wrist bands throughout your stay - not even required at my country club. This is more of a senior living experience.

The unit was beautiful! I feel like the Galvestonian always provides great beach front condo options. Our condo needed a couple of fixes; the bedroom curtain did not function leaving one half of the window without coverage and the room with bunk beds had a broken/loose headboard. Those two things did nothing to affect our stay - just mentioning it. The condo was fully stocked with kitchen supplies & clean! It was a beautiful condo and the staff at the Galvestonian are helpful & kind. I always feel safe at the Galvestonian, no mater what I condo I book. Will continue coming back!
