Pelican Haven

Donna LeeRating, 5 stars3 days ago
The condo was amazing. Fully stocked with everything you could need. Big screen TV's in every room. Kitchen had upgraded appliances. Little personal touches here and there like makeup remover wipes in the bathrooms and binoculars to enjoy while sitting on the balcony. Board games and cards to use. Nesia was a wonderful hostess and very responsive. We truly enjoyed our weekend getaway.

Upscale Waterfront Condo on beautiful Clear Lake!

DanielleRating, 5 stars4 days ago
We absolutely loved Tracy’s space! It was immaculate upon check-in. It had everything we needed to make meals at home. Tracy was very responsive and great to talk to. Her patio was our absolute favorite ❤️ we utilized it everyday in the mornings with coffee, and at night with a night cap. The breezes were great and the sounds of the water were serene. It was a very nice quiet and relaxing atmosphere. We felt right at home. We will most definitely be returning next year.

Beachfront Condo with Lazy River

ShaneRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this condo. It was easy to check in and all instructions were clear. The interior was just like the pictures. Everything was nice and clean. The kitchen was fully functional and was perfect for all our needs. The view was great as it was right about the very large main pool and also directly in front of the ocean. Would definitely recommend this condo to anyone looking for a Galveston getaway.

Life is beautiful!!!

LeslieRating, 5 stars7 months ago
Great canal house, and great neighborhood! We had so much fun fishing and kayaking, and being such a short drive from Sea Isle Beach was AWESOME. The patios were great for spending time together outside, and the house had everything we needed for four adults and four kids. And the outdoor shower was so handy when returning from the beach.

Pier Paradise- Beachfront, Ocean View!

JoshRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Absolutely adored the place....well decorated, well maintained and very clean...was loaded with amenities and everything needed for comfort and feel at home. The shower was hot as I like and bed very comfortable. I brought my own white noise machine but did not need it because one was already provided. The hostess was very attentive and prompt with responding. The views of beach was therapeutic and amazing. Casa Del Mar staff was very friendly and professional. My husband and I spent 8 days in Galveston and it was perfect.

DawnRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Angie’s place was great and exactly as described. The exterior of the complex could use some TLC but her unit is perfect. We enjoyed the view from the balcony for evening drinks and morning coffee. We were only there for two quick nights but it has everything you would need for a full week beach vacation. It was lovely and we will probably be back as our daughter is based in and out of Galveston on Carnival.

Galveston’s Gem

TrevorRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
We had a fantastic stay in Galveston at Sandra Lee’s condo! From the moment we booked, Sandra was incredibly responsive and easy to communicate with—she always replied quickly and made sure we had everything we needed for a smooth experience. The condo itself was perfect for our trip. It was clean, comfortable, and well-stocked with all the essentials. The views were absolutely amazing—we loved sitting out and taking in the scenery. It really felt like a home away from home. Highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Galveston. We’d definitely stay here again!
