Front office was rude and made no sense why they refused the refund when I had to check out due to the condo not being ready I think they are unethical How can you charge someone for service when I had to vacate the property.

The balconies are gorgeous--the higher floor this time has a better view above the palm trees. Both times we've been here have been in January, so we haven't been able to use the outdoor pools or the lazy river. The indoor pool is large! There's a great game room, a movie theater, and a gym on the property. Everything is access-controlled, so you feel safe. Getting to the beach is about a 5-minute walk. This is a beautiful place! We booked through Ryson Vacation Rentals both times. Great communication, easy check-in and check-out process.

I have stayed in nicer hotels in Mexico. Also, when we tried getting someone to wait on us at the pool and the Blake Restaurant, they basically ignored us until we said something. Also, the food was mediocre at best as well. It had no flavor. Also, we were told that the Steakhouse was closed on Sundays by two different employees. Come to find out, it was not closed after all. They need to get all of their employees on the same page. Also, we were never greeted when we arrived as well as when we left. We won't be staying here again. Since we paid alot for a two night stay, the hotel should have been excellent.

The 500sq condo we stayed in for our family vacation was on the second floor and had a patio that overlooked one of the pools. You could see the beach somewhat and a little retention pond which was nice in the morning and evening. It was tiny but convenient and boasted a full service kitchen, king sized bed, generously sized bathroom, two bunk beds and a pull out couch. Theoretically it could sleep six people, but we were a little tight with two kids, two adults and a dog. It is conveniently located to the Seawall and other drive up beaches, and restaurants/other amenities are not too much farther down the road, though you are away from the hustle and bustle of the more touristy areas - which was what we wanted. It did not break the bank as far as Air BNBs go. BUT... The property is older and not as well kept as you would think, for $700/month HOAs fees (we looked it up online). They have strict parking enforcement and it costs $10/day during your stay, which we found to be a little ridiculous since the parking is nothing special and not any more secure than a Walmart parking lot. There are elevators but they are not conveniently located to the outer units, so lugging our bags and supplies up and down two flights of stairs in the humidity was a bit tiresome. The pools are maintained if not exactly nice, but well chlorinated. Unfortunately we didn't want to get in them due to the fact they are heated (or maybe just hot from the sun) and it didn't feel refreshing in the Texas heat- it felt more like bath water. All in all, it was perfectly fine. The amenities left a little bit to be desired but the unit was clean and quiet, and close to the beach. It met our needs and we enjoyed our stay.

The agent has multiple properties, but our condo was at Maravilla. This condo complex boasts the largest swimming pool in Galveston. It has an island in the middle of the pool that our children, 12, 10, 8, and 5 thoroughly enjoyed. It also has a heated pool for those colder fall evenings. The other residents were accommodating and helpful, even letting us join in a family barbecue. The room was clean and decorated. AC worked great, cable TV worked great. Plenty of sleeping room for my entire crew, including bunk beds and two large bedrooms. The master and the family room opened up to the spacious balcony which overlooked the Gulf of Mexico. Gorgeous! Pets are welcome, even though we didn't bring our lab. There is one thing that I can assure you. We won't be going back to Galveston, unless we are staying at a property managed by My Galveston Getaway.

We couldn't even stay there for more than 13 hours due to the amount of mold. We got in late so we had no choice but to stay until the morning, everyone woke up sick. When we asked for a refund airbnb will not directly credit the funds they are making us choose a host payout method that will force us to fill out tax papers and takes 1.5% of the funds. The host is only offering a partial credit because she has determined the condo was clean. Appalled and disgusted that they will take advantage of families and put them in potential health risks. I have pictures and proof of all the mold, the toilet not working, the dishes caked on with food, the sliding glass door had no handles and what was there was broken off. Everything was covered in dust and overall grimmy. Cathie has stated that it is professionally cleaned and that she also has allergies so to her it was fine. I do not believe cathie has been in this property in months. It did not look anything like the photos. The condo needs to be reported to the health dept due to the amount of mold.

We could fish right off the back dock, and there was a nice covered lounging area on the deck above the dock area. House was clean and in good order. Contained a full size washer and dryer. Fence allowed us to let the pug run free. Dislikes: Downstairs (2 bedroom, washroom with dorm fridge, bathroom) is DETACHED FROM UPSTAIRS (2 BR, 2 bath, living, kitchen). This was not clear from the marketing statements. Downstairs is poorly air conditioned. The small unit in the front downstairs BR never really cooled anything. We resorted to buying two box fans. Downstairs BR with 2 bunk beds contained a ceiling fan we considered dangerously close to the bunk bed ladders. Dryer would never shut off via timer. Had to be manually stopped by opening the door. Overall Thoughts: We enjoyed our vacation and the house. If the cooling and detached levels issues were not present this would have been at least 4 stars.
