Perfect stay!

I recently stayed at the jellyfish look out on the Strand and had an exceptional experience. The location is perfect, right in the heart of everything. It was spotless and incredibly well-equipped, with every amenity thoughtfully provided, even down to ear plugs for a quiet night's sleep. The host was attentive and ensured the place felt like a home away from home. Highly recommended!

July 4th stay

We had a fantastic time staying at the jellyfish on the strand! The property manager was kind and responsive. The location is fantastic if you’re looking for a place that is in the heart of shopping, dining, etc.. The condo itself is an amazingly restored historic building. Simply gorgeous. I also appreciated that the owners had very thoughtful touches, such as pancake mix, pouches scissors in the kitchen and sharp knives placed in a holder in an upper cabinet as a safety measure for people with young children. We really enjoyed our stay and we’ll hopefully be staying here on our next trip to Galveston!

Great Mother's Day Stay

We stayed here for a Mother’s Day celebration. We love to people watch, and this is the spot to do it. The four big windows allow views of the entire street. We kept track of the people who waived at us (31).The property is incredibly clean! The showers/bathrooms are amazing. It is equipped with anything you will need to cook. The TV was easy to use. And the information book provided gives lots of good information. The check out process was simple and easy to understand. Nothing crazy, just take out the trash, start the dishwasher and close the windows/set the ac. The book also contains the history of the building; they received an award for historic preservation (the floors are beautiful). Things you need to know. There are no curtains! Dress accordingly. Additionally, the bedroom walls do not go all the way to the ceiling and there are large transoms in the second bedroom. This means the entire property starts to get light at sunrise. This didn’t bother us a bit, but if you can only sleep in a cave, bring an eye mask. It is a noisy property, and they provide earplugs. Again, this didn’t bother us as we were there for the action.

Great location! The pictures do not do this place justice. It is huge and super cool. We loved everything about Jellyfish. There are a lot of great restaurants, cafes, and bars within walking distance. It is on The Strand so don’t go for peace and quiet.
