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.

Nice interior of condo. Clean and well stocked. Great views of ocean and pools. Gorgeous landscape. Construction was an eye sore and property is a bit dated. The owner was a pleasure to deal with.

Condo was very clean, & spacious. We loved that the location was away from the main part of Galveston. It was quiet with little traffic, and the beach was just right across the street.

Condo in Galveston
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!

Nice place to stay!
It was a very nice condo on the inside, it was clean and the appliances were nice. The water pressure was terrible, but that was the only negative inside the condo. Outside was so so, there was construction going on, and one of the elevators was out, it just happened to be the one we needed. The beach is close and there was parking everyday even on the 4th of July. Overall we had a great stay!

Beautiful Property
We had such an enjoyable time at this location. The weather was not the greatest but with the heated pool and the grills located at the pool area was lovely. There was some construction and an elevator was down but to have access to an elevator was also a plus. We were not looking forward to lugging everything up the stairs so it was a good saver.

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!

Loved the condo. Beds were comfortable. Very close to everything we wanted to do. The pool was warm and refreshing. The boys liked the close proximity to go kart track. Crossing the highway to get to the gulf was tricky on the weekend due to large amount of traffic. No cross walk or lights. Would recommend this place

Girls trip
It was perfect! The beach is across a busy street but the pool is amazing so we didn’t get in the ocean. The lady at check in told us there wasn’t a elevator for us and it’s on the 3rd floor!! We took all of our luggage up 87 stairs!!! When we walked out we saw people going to the right out of the front door and down 10 steps there was a elevator!!!! So if you stay there, there is a elevator!!!! The condo is perfect!! If you go out the door in the 2nd Bedroom you can see the sunset & out the other bedroom watch the sunrise!! The owner was great to work with and responded quick with any questions!!
