Only real issue was with the Couch sleeper mattress that needs to be replaced as very thin/worn and not comfortable. Couch needs to be cleaned as very dirty with visual stains. Parking spots are very tight and limited. Pools were great and happy to be able to use balcony! ##### Michele B. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Tamara S. 26 Jul 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### . The condo was just as we expected. The couch really does need updating. The microwave never worked. They sent someone out to try to fix it but they couldn’t so we had to try to warm everything up in the oven, kinda disappointing. The linens were very clean. The property grounds on the other hand was disappointing. The elevator rarely worked. The trash bins were over flowing and rodents were present and visible on the property. They are dog friendly but in only very limited area’s. ##### Tamara S. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Gabrielle P. 22 Jul 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Good with a few hiccups Condo faced the pool. Accommodations were nice. Microwave did not work TV - not good apparently the bill needed to be paid to direct Tv Since there were just 2 adults these issues were not that big, but could have been if you had kids. ##### Gabrielle P. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Stefanie R. 27 Jun 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Close to Galveston attractions We enjoyed our stay at the Maravilla condo. The one bedroom (with additional built-in bed and fold-out couch) was adequate for our family of four, especially since we weren’t there very much during our stay. The kitchen was well stocked with essentials and useful appliances. We also liked the swimming pools on-site. A few minor things - the luggage carts are getting worn, and the elevator was unpredictable. The only light in the bedroom is the overhead light, which is quite bright when reading at night. Though space is tight, a skinny lamp or wall mounted lights by bed would be a welcome addition. ##### Stefanie R.
