Spent two nights at the Galvestonian August 12. Loved every minute of it. Every nice thing said on the reviews is true. Very private. Far enough from everything but not too far to drive a few miles. Our large one bedroom was perfect for two people. It's a shame to see the large "brightly lit" new condo next door. It... more

My family and I found this jewel just by driving by in the spring. We were in a very nice condo. I understand that they arent all alike. We loved our unit. Liked being ON THE BEACH. Love the grounds and the BBQ pits. The staff made us feel warm and welcomed. We will be back. more

We loved the Galvestonian! The condos are directly on the beach, unlike most places in Galveston. Very family friendly, nice rooms, clean beach, close to everything in Galveston! My family will return to the Galvestonian on our next trip to Galveston. more

We picked the Galvestonian based on the positive reviews here on TripAdvisor and were very happy with the choice. The two bedroom unit we rented, #914, had been recently updated with new furniture and granite. The only thing that was not new and needed changing, or stretching at minimum, was the carpet. Our view of the East Beach, Gulf of... more

We have been staying at the G at least once a year for the past 14 years and have loved every visit. This section of the beach is clean, quiet, and not overrun by tourists. The condo units we've stayed in have ranged from top notch to okay. The pool and jacuzzi are quite nice. We also like the large... more

Every time I visit The Galvestonian, I grow more fond. The accomodations are beautiful, with direct beach access, a gorgeous, pristine pool, and well-appointed condo units of various sizes. I can feel my soul calming as I sit on the private, oceanfront balcony and watch the sunrise. And in the evening, I unwind watching the shrimpboats returning from their day's... more

It was my pleasure to find a beautiful property with great landscaping, great pool heated of course, and location is right on the beach. From the first moment a member of the staff opened the wind blown front door we felt at home. Terry, the general manager was incredible. He was proactive in everything we needed. The maintenance, housekeeping, and... more

... an off the beaten path little bit of paradise where the beach is but a few steps from the door. The people are warm, friendly, and professional. I have been several times and hate leaving. Need less to say, "I Will Be Back". more

My wife,family and I have stayed at the Galvestonian many, many times over the past three years and love it more each time. It is clearly located on the best beach in Galveston and is isolated enough for long, wonderful private beach walks on crisp and windy days. You can watch the cruise ships exit and returnto the gulf very... more

No consistancy. No rules on condo owners that charge $150 a night then have dirty moldy smelling 70s vintage carpet,adirty teal wornout bathmat and an air conditioner that wouldnt go under 80 degrees. Skip room 1108. We spent the first night on balcony,it was so hot.They moved us next day. View,beach and pool are good. Nothing like it in Galveston... more
