Welcome to the best location on Seawall Blvd. Pelicans Porch!
Remember the saying "Thank Heaven for 7-Eleven!" We feel that way about our home #711.
conveniently located close to the elevator.
We have a 1,200-square ft. open concept floor-to-ceiling windows facing the Gulf of Mexico with a beach theme interior, sea glass tiles throughout, and full-size kitchen with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. We are directly across from the famous Stewart Beach, down the street from Pleasure Pier, and within minutes from the historic downtown Strand district with restaurants, shops, and nightlife. You can catch the trolley across from the Emerald for a fun day of sightseeing. If you are going on a cruise we are 2.1 miles from the cruise ports. This the perfect place to relax before and after cruising.
The Bolivar ferry is approximately 5 minutes away and a free fun trip to see dolphins and visit Crystal beach.
UTMB hospital is conveniently 5-7 minutes.
Enter in the Emerald on the 1st. floor to the beautiful lobby and elevators. Head to your concierge on 6 and begin your wonderful beach home getaway.
We call our giant balcony "Pelican's Porch" and George the pelican will be there to greet you. Enjoy sitting on the balcony in the early mornings with coffee, mimosas or bloody Marys and evenings having a cocktail or glass of wine overlooking the beautiful pool and Gulf while watching the pelicans as they travel back to Pelican Island.

Spring Break family stay
Weeklong stay at this property and the owners were excellent in their communication both prior to our stay, during and afterwards. The property was as advertised and very clean and orderly upon arrival. The location is great and the view is incredible. Several peaceful moments of morning coffee on the pelican porch that will stay with us for a lifetime. The property is located far enough from the business of downtown and tourist areas but not to far that you can't easily drive to anything you would want to experience in Galveston on either side of the island. We had 5 people and the space was just about right for everyone to not feel like they were on top of each other. Restaurants located in the parking lot are a nice convenience if needed but Galveston has so many food choices to offer. Onsite management and security were and unexpected delight. Honestly the condominium complex was run much like a very efficient resort. Front desk staff was always friendly, helpful and very over communicative about things in the area and property details, which was great. The pool deck is just awesome. Lots of space and was never really busy for either the hot tub or heated pool. (we visited 2 weeks after the Texas spring breaks were over). Overall excellent stay and would definitely book with these owners if in Galveston again.

A beautiful & chic condo in a wonderful location; adult-friendly, kid-friendly, & family-friendly! The large balcony was our favorite place to both start & end our days. The owner was not only kind & helpful, but incredibly lovely to work with. We absolutely enjoyed every second of this vacation & cannot wait to return!

Why they chose this property

We went to the Emerald by the sea to look at a couple of other units when we decided to buy in Galveston. While we were there the realtor said he had another one that was for sale and when we went into this one we knew we were home.
The benefit of having three bedrooms and two bathrooms with one of the largest balconies was a big selling point.

What makes this property unique

One of the largest balconies at the emerald overlooking the pool and Gulf of Mexico.
Only rental property at the emerald with a walk-in roll in shower in the master bedroom
Shower chair if needed and ramp to the balcony..
