Galveston Getaway at the Victorian

Our stay was fine except we were unable to reach the owners. Both numbers, no answer. When we checked in the service was great, only to find out that they could not help a bit with any needs past check in.

The condo was clean and location was great. Queen size bed not king size that was listed. Also be aware that there is no freezer in the small fridge and no ice machines on the property so you will need a cooler for ice.When we checked in we were told there was a fee for parking our car and when we said we didn't have a car they said we had to pay it anyway. Apparently it is more of a resort fee than a parking fee.Front desk staff was very friendly and helpful.There are 2 pools, one heated and one not and a large hot tub. All are kept very clean.Host communication was great.All in all, we were happy with our stay.

It was confortable. I had all my family and I needed.

We drove 10 hours and arrived on a Friday evening. We pulled in and were met by a security guard w/ a bad attitude who immediately began barking orders. The receptionist was kind that night but every other day shift receptionist was blatantly rude. No complimentary anything. The lobby boasts complimentary coffee but at 8am the one coffee pot was empty and the receptionist snapped at us that we just started our shift;half hour later there was still no coffee and no one seemed worried about it. The property needs upkeep:support beams were visibly worn. The pools and hot tubs were nice enough but the code to the door to the hot tub change and when we asked for the code we were provided with suspicion and attitude to. Theres 1 pedestrian entrance/exit;slightly annoying for such a big property with a lot of foot traffic. The room itself was nice. A broken towel rack and a mini fridge that didn't get cold are the only complaints but the view was phenomenal, the water was hot, the bed was comfortable, the room was clean overall and super cute with obvious thought put into the design of maximizing the space while keeping it cute. Not worth the price. The name of the property is the Victorian but there was nothing Victorian about it. It is literally right on the beach. Great location, good accommodations, bad staff. Will stay somewhere else next time. Written 09/01/2024

The condo where this unit is located is in major need of renovation. For lack of a better word, it's disgusting. We walked around barefoot inside the unit, and the bottoms of our feet were all black. But the worst part was the pull out couch where our son was supposed to sleep. It was broken, and the owner tried to play dumb about it. When we finally pulled it out, it was essentially in a triangle shape where the middle was higher than the ends. Nobody should have to sleep that way. We told them that night that we would stay one night (we arrived very late), and they refunded the next 3 nights. However, we still had to pay all the VRBO fees which meant that our ONE night cost $xxx ($one night rent plus cleaning fee, service fee, lodging tax and fee from the condo. Very disappointing to say the least.

We had 4 adults and 2 teens. Our condo was great and the location was convenient. Will not hesitate to do it again.

We had a great experience here and the location was amazing. The only thing I will say is if you want a soft bed this room is not for you as the beds are firm.

Nice place to stay for small family. Beach right across the street made it easy to walk back and forth. Pool was clean and fun for the kids in the aftenoon to cool off. Only complaint my wife had was it didn’t have a blow dryer lol she forgot hers. Would recommend or stay again.
