We have stayed here at least twice a year since 1999 and it's just gotten better and better. The units, all privately owned and all fully ocean front, are each completely different, but for the past few years, the upgrades and amenities have made so many units terrific and even luxurious. There is no better location on the island -... More

My family and I have been renting a condo here for years. The staff are so friendly. We love cooking out at the picnic tables. The beach is clean and so close. I can't wait to do it all again this summer. I don't ever want to leave!! More

My husband and I stayed at the Galvestonian last year when we attended the Lone Star Rally and we're staying there again this year. The property is beautiful, with great views and beach access, and a wonderful, friendly staff. The location is perfect -- far enough away from the craziness of the rally, but close enough that just a short... More

This is my favorite summer getaway place on Galveston Island, It quite honestly has everything you need for a romantic and / or relaxing time away from it all. The Condo's are mostly privetly owned and are held to very strict quality standards, The kitchens are well equipped and the living and bedroom areas are well appointed. After several visits,... More

I have written 2 reviews for the place, but they keep disappearing. So, I'm trying again. My daughter planned her wedding in Galveston at the Roof Garden, so we stayed at the Galvestonian, along with about 30 other family members. We all had our own separate condo's and this worked out very well. The unit we stayed in 415 was... More

We booked the Galvestonian at the last minute for a end of summer trip to the beach. This was our first time back to Galveston since Ike. The town was in great shape, but we were very surprised how much beach most of Galveston Island had lost. This made the stay at the Galvestonian even better. Direct access to the... More

My sister and I decided to take our combined four kids to Galveston for an "end of summer" getaway. Our kids range in ages from 4 to 11. I have stayed at the Galvestonian before and enjoyed it, but this time was even better. We stayed in unit 1205 which is on the top floor with a wonderful view. This... More

As a native Texan, I've been to all three of the major Texas beaches. South padre used to be king. Second was Port Aransas near Corpus Christi where my family went for years. Last and dirtiest was Galveston. Ike changed all of that, in my opinion. I've never see such a change. The seawall was packed with people. The beach... More

My husband and three grandchildren recently stayed at this establishment. This is our third summer to stay at this facility with our family. This is a condo association-not a hotel. A two night minimum is required. Each condo is decorated by the individual owners. Therefore, you might rent an updated condo or one that is 80's or early 90's style.... More
