OceanSmile :-) 3-Pools Top-Floor-Ocean Panorama VIEW! Remodeled & CLEAN!!
What is a OceanSmile :-) experience It’s a journey, beginning with a view, and ending with a smile. We provide the views and you return the smiles ;-) OceanSmiles finds great views; oceans, beaches, waves, sand, and transports them to your condo. Every corner of your condo brings you closer to the beach. So put on your flip-flops, and let’sstroll together through your OceanSmiles:-) vacation…

Your OceanSmile condo theme, “OceanSmile”, surfed in on a 2019 remodel wave. Ocean waves, blue horizons and palm wrapped shoreline inspire your relaxing beach retreat. Sunny rays and translucent waves carry you to a virtual beach. Custom tile-murals wrap the bath showers and kitchen backsplash in visual panoramas. Listen closely and they almost whisper relaxing ocean sounds. Enough about waves and surf, let’s begin your journey…

First stop, Galveston Island and The Maravilla resort. After sailing over the causeway, turn right at the Gulf of Mexico, and there you are minutes from pocket beaches to the west, and rentable umbrellas to the east. Arrival time is 4pm. Now, put away the watch, you’re on Island time.

Next stop, escape the sun under covered-parking shade, then let one of three elevators lift you up to the top floor (third) for great ocean views. Condo access is easy, just press your secure computerized door-code, no key required. Next step, ready I can’t wait to show you one of our favorite creations!! Let’s open the door…

After cool air welcomes you in, custom-towel “critters”, on adult-sized bunks, say to your kids (or adults) “We’ve been waiting for you!! Let’s play together in your pretend clubhouse!!” This dinette table converts from a daytime computer/game/dinette table to night-time bunks, cool! One mom remembers her kids begging to leave the beach so they could get back to their bunks, haha. Now that’s an OceanSmile :-) experience!

Warm sun rays jump through the picture window pulling you out. This OceanSmile location brings you two views; an ocean view plus an additional lagoon/lake vantage point. This east view sweeps from lagoon to ocean while echoing water fountain sounds below. Of course the ocean view has bragging rights, but the owners love watching a variety of lagoon wildlife.

Your one-of-a-kind “kitchen-on-a-beach” creation, lays next to a sand-topped ceramic-tile panorama. Enjoy soft-close drawers and pantry shelves serve cookware and utensils needed for tonight’s “see food” (pun intended) menu. Food just tastes better here. Right Especially fresh off the local fishing pier. We don’t promise to provide every necessity; foil, zip-locks, trash-bags, soap etc… but you may find a few surprises worthy of an extra smile :-)

Unwinding is easy. OceanSmile sleeps up to 8 guests in four separate areas; a private King bedroom, a private Queen bedroom, 2 hallway adult-sized bunkbeds with a convertible dinette option and a leather-queen sleeper sofa in the living room. This is not a typical hotel room, but your home away from home. The bedrooms provide a convenient dresser and closet behind a full-length mirror. The beds/bunks hide ample suitcase storage underneath. And best of all, it’s CLEAN, CLEAN, CLEAN. Rest assured, our professional housekeepers (“critter creators”) work hard to exceed your expectations. Read our guest’s many “clean” reviews. We think you will agree :-)

Wake up to coffee served by Mr. Coffee or Mrs. Keurig (your choice). First-day complimentary hot beverages; waiting for your OceanSmile experience. Sips of coffee blend ocean views with Great-tailed Grackle bird voices. Huge pelicans overhead look like bombers compared to these little jet fighters. So much to ponder… so little time… because Galveston activities are waiting!!

The Maravilla complex gives you three pool options. The largest, one of Galveston’s finest, wraps around a palm-tree swim-up Island. A flowing stream empties into The Maravilla’s Zero-entry kiddie pool. The third pool, across the property, remains heated during the winter, waiting to steam those cooler days.

Before jumping in the car, consider convenient walking destinations. Right next to your resort, the world’s longest (10.3 miles) sidewalk stretches from beach to beach waiting to be conquered by bike or shoe. Or stop at Jimmy’s on the Pier and order a meal with a view. Kids might enjoy the next-door Go-Karts and Fun Center; arcade, virtual-reality, bumper cars, axe throwing, digger machines and ATVs. Walk 8 minutes to hit the batting cages, or sink a hole of Putt-Putt golf.

A short 2 minute ride, dunks you at Galveston’s famous Schlitterbahn water-park or the many attractions of Moody Gardens; Aquarium Pyramid, Rain Forest Pyramid, 4D theater, Reef Rescue VR, Discovery Museum, Paddlewheel Boat and Zip Lines.

If boredom sets in, haha, head to Galveston Island’s famous Historic Pleasure Pier. Pleasure Pier is one of the few spots in the world that has dozens of rides over the water! You'll be flying over guests on the Pier, soaring over the Gulf of Mexico and anticipating your next ride!

After experiencing Island life, OceanSmile welcomes you home. However, your OceanSmile experience is not over yet. You are about to retreat to a one-of-a-kind shower panorama. This virtual wrap-around beach, brings back wonderful memories from today’s ventures.
After dimming blue-sink lights and spotlighting the wave mural, one more question must be answered in the solitude of rain-shower mist: Was this a OceanSmile day Such an easy answer. No words needed…. :-)

    The condo was exceptionally clean. Comfortable beds, small bathrooms, but OK, otherwise. Nice, comfortable furniture inside and out. Checkout very easy.Only negative was woman who provided parking pass was very rude. She was sitting on the couch in the office, aka, a condo, using her cellphone. She was unfriendly and curt with her answers, as if it was an inconvenience for her to be waiting on paying guests.

    The place itself was updated nicely. The property itself was old and grungy. You can tell that it is probably the oldest around the area. The elevator was HORRIBLE! It was old and dirty. It looks like the property is being updated and it needs it badly. I have to say the pools were clean and very nice. The check in process is not good at all. All places I have stayed before you did it all online but at this place you have to go check in at the office. I got there late and the office wasn’t open so I had to wait until the next day. When I went I had to wait because the person wasn’t at the office. The responsiveness of the owner was slow at times. I had an issue and had to wait hours for a response.

    The condo was in a nice location with views of the beach . The balcony was big with plenty of nice chairs to enjoy the views of the gulf . The Condo was beautiful inside with plenty of sheets , towels , and items to start your trip . The only downside was two of the elevators weren’t working and stairs were a killer but we adjusted to them . The front of the property was in disarray due to the renovation process. The description was accurate with details of the remodel as well as a non working elevator . We would definitely stay here again ! The pool was very nice as well as the hot tub . The owner was quick to respond and very cordial. Thank you for a wonderful trip!

    We drove from STL area. Elevator was broken several times during our stay. We weee unaware we would have to cross a 4- lane busy road with no crosswalk to get to the beach each day. That was a bit dangerous. We liked how close we were to restaurants and entertainment. We felt safe. Pool area was beautiful. Staff was friendly and visible.

    We needed time away, to relax & recoup…this place is located a little further away from everything which is nice in most aspects because it’s not crowded on the beach or at the beautiful pools! You need a car & we chose not to have one but they do recommend one. We agree after doing without! The place inside is fantastic & they supply it all except beach chairs! Loved the condo & pools! Outside is dated but they are working on updating it & again the pools are perfect! We were very pleased!

    We were amazed at the cleanliness of this little property. We thought we had a son bringing his fur daughter with him so that was our purpose of renting this unit. Everything was as described in pictures on the web site. There were ample towels and all supplies were laid out in the areas to be used. Any dishes we used were also clean and I wish my Whilpool dishwasher were as quiet as this one. The complex was under construction but everything was well planned and instructions to sign in were all very well understandable. We think this unit might be better suited to young people vs our 80 & 83. The furniture in the living room was hard for us old but we think fit people to get up from . When we had 4 people there eating and game playing was pretty tight. I must compliment the owner who suceeded in better than average supplies right down to the Keurig Coffeemaker which we are used to in our own home.

    Me and my family really enjoyed staying here and had so much fun being able to spend quality time with each other and have fun. My dad wanted to book another 2 nights and did so under one of Donna’s other properties! Only issue we had was spacing, I think for the amount of people we had, it made a difference in that but other than that, it was great staying here for Christmas and we hope to book again soon!

    The complex is undergoing renovations, but the pools on the grounds were awesome and it has a resort vibe. The unit we staying in was super cute, renovated well, and had a spectacular view. The first day we were nervous because it seemed like the ocean was right up to the seawall, but that's only because it was high tide. The owner or the property manager was super responsive and checked in to see how things were going. You never know what a property will be like before you actually get there, but this property is a 10/10 and we look forward to staying there again!
