Traffic signals at both corners provide convenient pedestrian access to the beach. A large box store beginning with “W” is next door, while restaurants, BBQ, sandwich shops, shopping, and other necessities are all within walking distance.
Guests have access to:
🏊 Two swimming pools, including one heated seasonally ♨️ Two hot tubs 💪 Fitness center 🎾 Tennis court 🔥 BBQ grills and picnic areas 🌴 BBQ pergolas 🐟 Fish-cleaning station 🌅 Outdoor gathering and relaxation areas

☕ Starter Supplies
To make your arrival easy, we provide starter supplies including:
Paper towels Toilet paper Hand and body soap Shampoo and conditioner Dishwashing supplies Trash bags Starter coffee supplies
These supplies are intended to get you settled in and through your first grocery run rather than cover your entire stay.
🛏️ Linens & Towels
All beds are freshly made before your arrival, so there's no need to make beds or bring your own sheets.
We provide one bath towel, one hand towel, and one washcloth per guest, based on the home's maximum occupancy of six guests.
Beach towels are not provided. Customized beach towels are available to rent for $35 for the duration of your stay. A credit card is required as security, with a $25 replacement charge for an unreturned towel.
🚗 You Don't Need a Car
A car is convenient, but you can enjoy plenty of Galveston without one. The beach, shopping, and several restaurants are within walking distance.
Public transportation, taxis, Uber, Lyft, Uber Eats, and DoorDash are also available in the area.
🅿️ Victorian Parking, Resort & Amenity Fee
The Victorian condominium complex charges a parking/resort/amenity fee directly to guests upon arrival. This fee is established and collected by The Victorian, not by the condo owner or My Galveston Getaway.
Current fees are:
Up to 7 consecutive nights: $40 + tax, including up to 2 parking permits 8–31 days: $80 + tax Extended stays: $80 + tax per month
The Victorian will issue parking permits and may provide guest wristbands and access codes for the drive-through and pedestrian gates, pools, hot tubs, fitness center, and complex Wi-Fi. Wi-Fi passwords change monthly.
This fee cannot be collected in advance or paid on your behalf.
🧺 Laundry
There is no washer or dryer inside the condo. The Victorian has several pay-per-use laundry facilities throughout the complex that accept credit and debit cards.
🐾 Pets
The Victorian does not allow pets for renters.
True service animals are an exception, although the condominium complex may request appropriate verification. Emotional support animals are not considered service animals for short-term vacation rentals under the applicable rules, and exceptions cannot be made to the complex's policy.
🚭 Smoking & Vaping
All My Galveston Getaway properties are 100% non-smoking and non-vaping.
👨👩👧👦 Occupancy
Every person counts toward the maximum occupancy, regardless of age, size, or sleeping arrangements. This includes infants. Occupancy limits are established by the property owners in conjunction with the fire department and condominium association.
❄️ HVAC Guidelines
To help us keep the home's HVAC system running efficiently, please:
Do not adjust the thermostat by more than 3 degrees per hour. During summer, do not set the AC below 70°F. During winter, do not set the heat above 74°F. Keep the fan on AUTO. Turn the HVAC system off when doors or windows are open. Maintain no more than a 20-degree difference between outdoor and indoor temperatures.
Thank you for helping us care for the home!
🏝️ Beach Time & Sand
After enjoying the beach, please use the outdoor showers near the pool before returning to the condo and shake sand from your towels.
If significant sand makes its way inside, please sweep it up. Besides making cleanup more difficult, sand can make floors slippery and create a safety hazard.
📝 Rental Agreement & Check-In
After booking, you'll receive a link to complete our rental agreement. We request:
Personal email address Name and age of each guest Driver's license information Emergency contact information
Please complete the agreement promptly so we can provide your check-in information.
Approximately 3–5 days before arrival, we'll email driving directions and check-in instructions to the guest who made the reservation. We'll then call approximately 24–48 hours later to make sure you received everything, verify the access code, and answer any last-minute questions.
We give our guests plenty of privacy, but we're always available if you need assistance.
🌦️ Weather & Travel Protection
Galveston is a beautiful barrier island in the Gulf of Mexico and is naturally susceptible to rain, thunderstorms, tropical weather, and occasional hurricanes. Severe weather can sometimes cause temporary power or Wi-Fi interruptions.
We encourage guests to consider trip cancellation and interruption protection through the booking platform or another provider.
If a governmental authority issues a mandatory evacuation order for Galveston Island, refunds are provided in accordance with our applicable cancellation policy.
Weather, temperatures, sunshine, mosquitoes, and other conditions beyond our control are not grounds for a refund except as specifically covered by the applicable evacuation/refund policy.
🛗 Elevators
Because of Galveston's coastal environment, elevators can occasionally experience problems related to moisture, humidity, and salt air. Elevator operation is controlled by The Victorian, not My Galveston Getaway.
If we're notified of an elevator outage, we'll notify the complex, request available repair information, and share updates with guests when possible.
Please help protect the elevators by not allowing children to play inside them, avoiding unnecessary button pushing, and not holding doors open.
🚪 Checkout
No full cleaning is required before departure, and you do not need to strip the beds.
At checkout, simply:
Remove all food from the condo and refrigerator. Leave a note with any restaurant, shopping, or excursion recommendations you discovered. Lock the door behind you. Give us a call when you're ready to plan your next Galveston getaway! ⚓ Come Be the Captain!

Great location and was a blast to stay in. Only comment we have was the floors were dirtier than one would expect. Understand its a beach condo but the floors were more than just sand.
Captain’s Cabana is such a cute place! My kids (ages 9, 11, and 12) and I had a blast exploring the large amount of DVDs and games in the room. We especially liked the sand and pool toys available for us to use! The complex itself was easy to navigate and check into. We also loved how most places were within walking distance. My family and I will definitely consider staying here again during our next trip to Galveston!
The balcony seating was comfortable and offered beautiful sunrise views over the ocean while overlooking one of the pools. Truly the best of both worlds! Every little detail in the decor was so charming and the hosts were wonderful to work with!!
This property was so beach and cute! Everything was e needed was available. The view was amazing!!! We enjoyed all this place had to offer including easy parking pool beach and so many things walking distance. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your beach condo
Condo had everything we needed. Was clean and stocked appropriately. Nice bit of beach "tools". Cutely decorated and beds were comfy. Great view from the balcony.
We loved this condo. Perfect view, very close to the parking area so not a far walk at all. Even walking out the front door the view of the relaxing area of the hotel. While sitting on the balcony you had a view of the ocean and the pool We will most certainly be staying in the room more often when we come down. Even the decor was so cute and comfy. The thing I love the most with this is they also had beach things you could use, even a wagon. They had games inside to entertain yourself as well. We all around loved this stay and will be back! Thank you !
This condo was very clean & cozy on the inside, however facility is in need of a facelift. Overall the unit was great for me & my daughter. I would suggest the owners replace the sliding glass door bc it’s quite old & you can hear everyone around the pool when inside the unit. The view was very nice.
One pool was very cold but the other one was nice .staff at counter wasn’t always well informed . Walked to three different buildings to get my laundry done only to find out that the washer in my building was actually working . Otherwise property is nice and our ci do was beautiful . Location was perfect within walking distance to Walmart .
Great view and great location for the beach. Only hassle is the checkin process where you have to pay additional fees to park. They are up front about this, but still a hassle. Overall a great experience.
We enjoyed our stay in this condo. It was clean, and very close to the beach. There were plenty of towels and dishes. Check in was easy. There was one heated pool and one regular. There was a hot tub just for adults. Walmart is right next door so that was convenient. We were able to sleep 3 adults and 3 kids because of the double futons. The only feature we found challenging was there was no full size refrigerator so it was hard to keep groceries for breakfast and lunch or even leftovers because the fridge was tiny. Otherwise we really enjoyed the stay!

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
Disliked: Cleanliness
The location is excellent as it is close to the Ocean, Walmart, and restaurants nearby. The pool area looked clean. The view from the balcony was wonderful. The issue for me was the bathroom. I could not stay but I received a full refund. If there was a similar unit in the complex I will rent in the future for sure.
Came to Galveston with the family and ended up staying an extra night we had so much fun and enjoyed the escape. We’re a family of six, with four children from 7-16. And this location was exactly what I had hoped it would be. All the kids had a bed of their own. They spent hours in the heated pool and took many trips across the street to put our toes in the sand. There were games provided in the unit, beach toys and dvds. Overall we’ve had a great stay and look forward to visiting again. Our only complaints were that the property manager was a little hard to get ahold of, the tv in the bedroom doesn’t work, there are plugs hanging out of the wall in the bedroom and the kitchen drawers are a little janky. Nothing we couldn’t over look, but just for reference. Highly recommend!
Was told a refund would be sent to my card, waited about 5 days with no refund. Messaged them to get status, they said it would take 7-10 business days for refund. Waited till the 10th day with no refund and messaged them again. They then sent a copy of "refund policy" and stated "which refund do you think should be due as a result of this cancelation". I wanted info as to why they made me wait for a "refund" for 10 days to not issue one and they never communicated back. They ignored me after my response. I never booked with VRBO before, this was a first and I can say it will be the last after the way they handled this. Absolutely furious and disgusted by their service. I will be filing fraud through my bank
Easy check in, quiet place, good space for my family (5yo, 3yo, infant). The pool is great for kids with the graded entry. Beach access right across the street with rentable chairs/umbrella option. The do have some great beech toys and a wagon type carrier to borrow, which was super helpful. There's only a mini fridge with freezer, so plan accordingly.
We enjoyed our stay very much. Loved the view and very happy with the 2 couches in the living area. Along with the 4 chairs at the table we could all comfortably hang out and eat together.
The members of my group said they would stay at this exact same place again. That's a first for this group. Really liked the toaster/ oven combo also .
The only complaint I have is with the faculty itself. Because of the fence around the property with a code needed to open the gate getting all the stuff and the kids to the beach was hard. Also though I understand why we all hated wearing the pool armbands everywhere for the duration of our stay.
From the reservation to our checkout on the last day, the experience was great. The instructions were clear, the accommodations clean and just as advertised. The staff was extremely helpful and the view was perfect. We highly recommend this place.
