We were in town for a softball tournament and the property was perfect for our needs. A nice condo with great amenities in a wonderful location. A short walk to the beach and a few restaurants. It is a short drive to the numerous Galveston attractions. The owners provided wonderful communication and would definitely stay here again.

Great location in Galveston

Emerald at the Sea is a great location in Galveston, close to the Strand, restaurants and the beach. Check in was easy, parking was even easier, and the condo was well appointed. My husband has limited mobility, and the pool mobility chair was easy to use so he could enjoy time in the water. We enjoyed our stay over Memorial Day weekend.
