We enjoyed our stay so much! The place was very clean, check in was a breeze and the owner/property manager was very responsive and accommodating with everything we had questions about. We would absolutely book again and plan to!
The unit was beautiful and clean. Amazing deck. Pool area was lovely. Location was good but unfortunately not really walking distance to many eateries, but close if driving. Would recommend.
It was myself, my mom and three of her friends. Everyone loved, loved the place and hanging at the pools. Our only regret is not booking more days. Loved it!!!!
Lovely stay. Exceptionally clean. Comfortable beds! Great communication prior to stay. Staff at Maravilla were courteous and helpful. Well maintained courtyard grounds, pool, and condo. Dancing relieves stress, increases energy and happiness. “Dancing Mermaid” condo did this for us and can for you!
Such a wonderful place! Beautiful and relaxing! The facility is going through some renovations, but still great. When we stepped inside everyone was so impressed and felt at home. We all slept great, which usually doesn’t happen. The office managers and staff were very helpful.
We all needed a break from the rush of every day and Dancing Mermaid was just what we needed! Thank you!
We are already looking to book another stay this summer! 💗
Check in was amazing. The lady we checked in with gave us a lot of tips for our trip and even took the time to walk us to our room. She was wonderful. We had a tiny mishap during our stay and had to contact the actual rental company. They replied very quickly to resolve said mishap. The condo was BEAUTIFUL and very clean. The pool was Perfect. Several people swam but not the crowded feeling. We would Definitely stay here again next time.
This was our first time staying in Galveston, and we wanted somewhere with a pool, ocean views and our own kitchen. The Dancing Mermaid certainly delivered!! It’s a beautiful condo, so well decorated and nice and clean!
There were some Reno’s happening, that I knew about - but that really didn’t bother us, nor interfere with our getaway! The beds were sooo comfy!! We slept like babies!!
There are TONS of amazing restaurants within a 5-15 minute drive. Our favourite was Doc Hollidays…. Delicious food and even better drinks!
My family stayed here and we really enjoyed it. Awesome location on the island. Beds were so comfy and the condo has everything and more to enjoy your stay. We appreciated the extra beach stuff, towels & wagon. Thank you for a memorable vacation!!!
The owner's property was exceptional, decorated beautifully, the beds were comfortable, the condo was in perfect shape. We loved the outside patio it was large and spacious and great for reading and catching some sun and having a meal. Love this property and will rent again.
We had a great stay at the dancing mermaid! The condo was very clean with beautiful furnishings and decor. All of the necessities were provided and we were pleasantly surprised to find additional items like beach toys and pool towels. We especially enjoyed the large balcony with comfy patio furniture and the awesome pool. We had a wonderful time thanks to this great condo!!
All around outstanding unit. If i had to nickpick anything; need more silverware (7 forks in all), need measuring cups (only had 3 teaspoon cups), and lastly the ceiling fan in the master was a little noisy. Tother1000 were great.little
The unit was exactly as it was described. It was updated, well appointed, spacious, nicely furnished with a large balcony and great views. The complex itself could use some updating but the pool area was great.
Our stay at Dancing Mermaid was a weekend made of memories. The condo was newly renovated and beautiful.
The 500 sq foot balcony had an awesome view of the pool and night sky.
Michelle and Leta were more than accommodating to see that our needs were met. We would definitely stay here again.
Fun, super clean condo. Pool was a nice break from the salty windy beach! But the condo is still close enough to load up and cross the street to the beach! It’s a ways from the pier so traffic wasn’t bad! But still an easy enough drive to the pier.
Picked a property close to home this year. Our three kids each rented their own condos at Maravilla and we rented this one as the meeting place for Thanksgiving. The view and large patio was perfect and the heated pool was great for the grandkids. Very clean and perfect size for our group of eleven to meet. We will definitely rent again.
Beautiful condo, floor plan was great for our family. Balcony is just perfect for family visits. I purchased a few kitchen items and left them for future guest to enjoy. Loved your condo. Debby Amos
My 2 sisters and I, along with our mother, just spent 3 nights in this BEAUTIFUL spacious condo with an amazing balcony overlooking the pool with view of the ocean. It was VERY clean and updated with stylish decor and furnishings. It was nice to have a full size washer and dryer.
Great location! This condo was much more than we expected and we have already started planning our next stay at Dancing Mermaid.
