Great Place to Stay & Excellent Owners

This VRBO was very nice. It was clean and had a great view of the Gulf. The location was just far enough away from all the noise and traffic in town to make it very quiet and relaxing. The owners went above and beyond to make sure our stay was great! We would definately stay here again and we would definately rent from the owners again!

Peaceful and Restful stay

This property was exactly what my wife and I were hoping it would be. It was not too big but didn’t feel small either. We got to relax, be on our own schedule, enjoy an amazing view, and get easy access to the beach. The hosts were the best! They gave us great recommendations for places to eat and explore. We could not have had a better stay! If you’re just looking for a quiet place to rest for a few days, this is an excellent option.

Great Over-Flow location

We needed some extra space for overflow of family. GREAT communication with homeowner. The condo is very comfortable, with everything that we needed. The staff at Islander East could not have been friendlier. We will be reaching out to stay again in the future!

Clean, Quiet & Comfortable

This studio unit was perfect for my elderly mom (88) while we were in Galveston for a family wedding. The bathroom has an easily accessible shower (a 2-3 inch lip to step over) for seniors. We brought along a removable suction grab bar to provide extra security stepping in & out of the shower & my mom was set.

Gulf view

Property is older however it does have a good view of the ocean from the balcony. Quiet location. Very small and needs some TLC. Bed was very comfortable. TV hard to operate. Needs directions for usage.

Room with a great view

Overall a very good, enjoyable experience. Owners responded promptly to text messages, but need for communication could have been reduced if a complete list of instructions had been provided at check-in. TV system in particular was a challenge, even with the owner's help. Our electrical engineer son figured it out for us.

Peaceful and Quiet

The stay was wonderful. The owners Mayvic and Mark were awesome and stayed in touch to make sure we were taken care of and to be honest that is the first time an owner stayed in touch and seemed genuinely concerned with how we were doing. The area was very peaceful and quiet just the way we like it and couldn’t ask for a better a cozier condo. If I had one complaint it would be a stronger air conditioning unit. At times during peak heat of of the day it seemed to have trouble keeping up with cooling the condo and it was noisy to sit on balcony. But that did not dampen our stay one bit and we loved every minute of it.

About the host

Hosted by Mayvic McCloskey

Host profile image
We grew up in Corpus Christi, TX and now live in Rockport, TX. We love being on and near the water. We chose this Galveston condo because of the magnificent view and quick access to a beach where vehicles are not allowed. Perfect location for a quiet, peaceful coastal getaway.

Why they chose this property

This property has a breathtaking view of the Gulf of Mexico. It is only a 2 minute walk across a wooden path/bridge to have access to East Beach. No vehicles are allowed on the beach which makes it more enjoyable and peaceful than some of the other options on the island.

What makes this property unique

Gorgeous unobstructed view of the Gulf. 2 minute walk to the beach. No vehicles are allowed on the beach. No street to cross to get to the beach. Direct beach access.
