The best part of our stay was the overall building. The amenities of the game room, pool, hot tub and even gym are great! All the owner needs to do is put a safety lock on the door, put up curtains in the living room and everything else is great!

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.

Galveston

The unit was very nice, but the area was a little run down. I did not enjoy Galveston beach as much as I usually enjoy beaches. Not the property's fault! We enjoyed the pool though. A little too strict and time constraining with owners and renters.

Almost 5 stars

Just nit-picking so please don’t let this stop you from booking this location! The location is perfect. Close to the beach (we even walked from the beach back to the condo easily), short drive to Pleasure Pier and the amazing restaurants. The condo building is very well kept and the pool is AMAZING! Only issue we had with the condo was the dryer didn’t work well at all. Took HOURS to dry our laundry. It likely needs a new heating coil which we hope they fix for other renters. The condo could use some touch up paint/minor repairs but overall clean and we definitely enjoyed our stay.
