So, I think that says it all. This place is very well maintained and has a lot of rules & conditions which keep it nice and enjoyable. Even tho a short drive to the West Beach area, it lacks the chaos and commercialism found there and leans more towards peace and relaxation and not having to cross heavy traffic to access the beach. We hope to return again. ##### Denise T.

Rooms are always spotless & well maintained and the view from any room is spectacular. We will never stay anywhere else! ##### Nicole H. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kathy S. 8 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Only thing we saw were roaches. i guess that can't be helped since that unit is next to the trash Shute.

The weather was perfect, the view was perfect, the balcony chairs were comfortable. All good. A quiet, relaxing weekend. ##### James H.

The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The Galvestonian is in a great resort in a wonderful location and this unit should have five stars, with a large balcony and updated kitchen and bathroom. But we were very disappointed to see a dirty sofa and stained balcony chair cushions. Given that the owner hasn’t added the dining table place mats suggested in a prior review I’m not sure these issues will be addressed. ##### Malcolm P.

It has always been super clean with all the amenities. It is so close to the strand and historic part of Galveston. Perfect for exploring. The beach is wonderful with many shore birds and shells. A great getaway. ##### Nancy G.

The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We were extremely disappointed with the unit. This was the third time we stayed in this unit and we have been staying at the Galvestonian since 1986\. The main outdoor patio was closed off and it is where we have so many memories of coffee in the morning, board game playing and enjoying the gulf air. Also, there were multiple leaks in the ceiling and the ice maker did not work. We had to go downstairs, get a key and go into a dark room to get ice. We were very disappointed with the entire experience. ##### Hanna S Natour and Susan K B.

The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Have rented 1206 in the past. Lovely updates minimalist unit. 3 balconies; however the biggest one, which is our favorite because it’s deep and has shade was blocked as netting on rail was being replaced and not finished. It is such a comfortable unit. The shades on all the windows are great and easy to operate. Would rent again. ##### A guest from Houston, Texas ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hyatt Place Austin Downtown](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Austin-Hotels-Hyatt-Place-Austin-Downtown.h5437747.Hotel-Information) > > [South Congress Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Austin-Hotels-South-Congress-Hotel.h9869259.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Houston/Galleria](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Houston-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-HoustonGalleria.h10620692.Hotel-Information) > > [Downright Austin, A Renaissance Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Austin-Hotels-Downright-Austin.h7518.Hotel-Information) > > [Staybridge Suites Houston Galleria Area by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Houston-Hotels-Staybridge-Suites-Houston-Galleria-Area.h57536940.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Garden Inn Austin University Capitol District](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Austin-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-Austin-University-Capitol-District.h66911977.Hotel-Information) > > [Valeria Dar Atlas Resort All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marrakech-Hotels-Valeria-Dar-Atlas-Resort-All-Inclusive.h13074595.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Austin](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Austin-Hotels-Fairmont-Austin.h18156638.Hotel-Information) > > [AC Hotel by Marriott Houston Downtown](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Houston-Hotels-AC-Hotel-By-Marriott-Houston-Downtown.h36715633.Hotel-Information) > > [Club Wyndham Austin](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Austin-Hotels-Club-Wyndham-Austin.h20597750.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Houston Downtown](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Houston-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Houston.h20005.Hotel-Information) > > [The Reside](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Houston-Hotels-The-Reside.h22169664.Hotel-Information) > > [The Driskill, in The Unbound Collection by Hyatt](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Austin-Hotels-The-Driskill.h425573.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Dallas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dallas-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Dallas.h24753.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Americas-Houston](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Houston-Hotels-Hilton-Americas-Houston.h976144.Hotel-Information) > > [Sonesta Hotel Houston IAH Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Houston-Hotels-Sonesta-Hotel-Houston-IAH-Airport.h23787.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton University of Houston](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Houston-Hotels-Hilton-University-Of-Houston.h40758.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt House Austin/Downtown](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Austin-Hotels-Hyatt-House-AustinDowntown.h17061159.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree Suites by Hilton Austin Downtown Capitol](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Austin-Hotels-DoubleTree-Suites-By-Hilton-Austin.h24523.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express & Suites Austin NW - Four Points by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Austin-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Suites-Austin-NW-Four-Points.h9836657.Hotel-Information) > > [Magnolia Hotel Dallas Downtown](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dallas-Hotels-Magnolia-Hotel-Dallas-Downtown.h282336.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Dallas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dallas-Hotels-Fairmont-Dallas.h18280.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Indigo Austin Downtown - University by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Austin-Hotels-Hotel-Indigo-Austin-Downtown-University.h12294834.Hotel-Information) > > [Moody Gardens Hotel, Spa and Convention Center](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Galveston-Hotels-Moody-Gardens-Hotel.h157238.Hotel-Information) > > [Residence Inn by Marriott Austin Downtown/Convention Center](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Austin-Hotels-Residence-Inn-By-Marriott-Austin-DowntownConvention-Center.h1453501.Hotel-Information) > > [Crowne Plaza Dallas Downtown by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dallas-Hotels-Crowne-Plaza-Hotel-Dallas-Downtown.h40414.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from London (LHR) to Dar es Salaam (DAR)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lhr/dar/london-to-dar-es-salaam) ---
