We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The condo is top tier with beautiful decor and all the creature comforts. We felt at home. The master bath alone is a getaway! The wrap around balcony allowed us to enoy mornings outside. We had 4 adults and 4 kids and it was not crowded. Just add people and food and you're all set.

Marvelous Mini Vacay

My friends and I had an amazing stay! I travel often I've seen a lot of VRBOs, and this is definitely one of my favorites! The entire place is nice and spacious, and the decor is perfect for the space. The cherry on top is that Primary Bath!!! TO DIE FOR!!! The wrap around porch, the view and the pool are all a close second. The pics are very well done, and you truly get what you see...which is not always the case. I look forward to returning! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

All things considered!

Came into Galveston for a holiday weekend boys trip to fish and relax. Emerald is a great property and this condo was perfect for the 4 of us! A true master w/nice king bed and 2 bedrooms w/queens… exactly as described. Someone had to get the pullout sofa, and he said it was comfortable and got some good sleeps on it. Super clean condo with fantastic amenities; great kitchen with all the utensils and enough plates for a garden party, the bar area was a great gathering spot for planning, chatting, eating and drinking, the rooms were dialed in, and the master bathroom is to die for!!! Superb location, as it’s within minutes to the beach, bars, and restaurants…. And easy access to the The Strand area where we enjoyed more eating and drinking festivities. Will definitely book here again and might plan our dates around its availability!!! Thanks for the great spot!!!!!

About the host

Hosted by Tim and Lisa Sawyer

My wife and I have friends who have owned a unit at the Emerald for several years, and we have so much fun coming down to Galveston! The Emerald is a fantastic place to relax and enjoy the ocean straight from your room or pool! There are many fun activities throughout the year, and we really enjoy our visits! The Emerald is a beautiful luxurious property, and we decided to purchase our own unit!

Why they chose this property

Unit 701 is a large corner unit with 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms which is perfect for our family! It has a fabulous balcony large enough for us to enjoy coffee in the morning and wine at sunset! The Emerald has a beautiful heated pool over looking Stewart Beach and the ocean sunsets are magnificent. The kids spend more time at the pool than they do at the beach! And when you are ready for the beach, it is just a few steps away to the prettiest beach in Galveston! It is also only 2 miles to the Galveston Strand with lots of restaurants and shops!

What makes this property unique

The Emerald has 4 large outdoor kitchen areas for those who enjoy grilling! The movie and game room provide additional activities for the family to enjoy.
