The Maravilla, Wonderful Pool/Beach View, Newly Renovated, 3 Pools Corner Condo

Great location. Great condo! Highly recommend!

Lovely condo. Plenty of room for our weekend.

This was our first stay in Galveston, and we are so glad we ended up at the Maravilla! It ended up being perfect for our family of 5 with kids ranging from 10-17 years old. Our very first impression of the complex was that it seemed dated, run-down, and was under construction. But the areas we actually used the most were in great shape and clean. There is construction on the building closest to Seawall Blvd. Due to this, the office is currently located in a temporary space within one of the condo units. The gentleman who checked us in was very nice and informative. Pros (we would 100% stay again due to these reasons):- Great location on the Seawall close to anything we wanted (restaurants, shopping, recreation) and easy beach access- Beach chairs, umbrella, cooler, and beach mat in the condo to use- Smart TV’s in both bedrooms and the living room- Relaxing balcony space with nice chairs overlooking the main pool- Beautiful and clean pool area for all ages with multiple pools and a hot tub- Stunning view of both the main pool and ocean from the unit balcony- Excellent communication from the host- Very comfortable furniture, beds and pillowsCons (don’t let any of these stop you from staying here): - Parking was extra: 10/day- Buildings were a bit rundown on the outside- This unit is not easily accessible if you cannot walk some steps- Laundry machines are in the condo hallway and cost 2.00 per cycle, which you pay via an app

The condo was cute and cozy!

From the moment we saw the property listing all the way through our stay we were extremely pleased. The communication w/questions we had even prior to booking was nothing short of amazing & made our decision to book this condo a very easy one. As of August 2024, the facility is under construction/remodeling in the front & the office has temp been relocated which makes it look pretty rough from the outside. Don’t let that fool you as to what you are going to walk into. The unit itself is beautiful, what the pics show, & we felt worth what we paid. For our stay the weather was not cooperative & it rain almost our entire stay. Even being stuck inside a good chunk of the stay was still relaxing & gave each of us our own space. There were three adults & two kiddos (10 & 11). We were left a welcome treat on the dining room table, had more than expected that we could need/want for the kitchen (incl. cleaning supplies if needed), had plenty of towels/pillows/blankets, & were even supplied sand chairs for use at the beach. A couple things not listed in the description that should be noted - there is a $10 per day parking fee you pay to the office when you arrive for check in & there is no laundry IN the condo. It’s located in the building, you share it amongst other occupants, & you are charged to use it. Even w/those couple things we didn’t realize prior to booking we LOVED our accommodations & hope to book again in the future. Well worth it!

We really enjoyed our stay here! The view is wonderful and the condo is well stocked. We had 3 adults and 2 children, and we had plenty of space. My one small issue is that there is no good, SAFE way to cross to the beach. This is not the fault of the owners, but I think the Mara villa should consider a safe crossing spot.

We were supposed to say that weekend but the hurricane came a few days before. The host was nice to reschedule our stay to a different weekend. The host responded quickly with every questions. The stay was nice. There were some construction in the front of the building. We had some trouble locating the specific condo due to checkin in really late. The place was clean, alot of amenities. Overlall we enjoyed our vacation here with a nice big pool and some beach tine for the family.

We loved our condo! This is our 2nd time staying in this condo and can’t wait to come back next year! Big patio and the inside is beautiful!

This is our second time staying in this property and first time under new ownership. We love the location, the two story aspect is nice to allow family to spread out. The balcony is roomy and the view is beautiful. We did have a minor issue which might have been caused by a recent hurricane that passed through and once we notified the owner it was fixed immediately. The only downside we have found that is not this property's fault is the nearest elevator breaks down frequently. In the past, we just did the 4 flights of stairs, but we have a 7 month old now and that was challenging. Hopefully once Maravilla is done with the building upgrades, that is resolved as well. But I think it's worth noting in case you have elderly or very young guests.

The property is being remodeled so lots of construction in the front. This condo is in the back and beautifully decorated, clean, lovely view of the ocean and had everything we needed. Would definitely come back! Owner was easy to work with and so accommodating. We enjoyed our visit, the pool is gorgeous!
