Upscale contemporary space with great views and great location!

Perfect property, perfect location for the ultimate Galveston family or friends’ getaway. Completely updated, your beautiful upscale contemporary and private 2-bedroom condo is conveniently located on the 1st floor with stunning views, near the Pleasure Pier, and a two-minute walk to the beach, and many other popular destinations.

The private entry opens into your vacation home in a very spacious yet cozy atmosphere with accents and décor that will relax your senses with soft beach inspired pastel colors and themes. The living room will invite you and your guests to laugh and relax in style and comfort with large windows and tall ceilings. The seating area allows for both casual conversations and to comfortably watch a movie on the TV. The living room couch pulls out to provide a queen-sized sleeping accommodation if needed. A rolling door reveals a hidden room with two twin-size bunk beds that are large enough for two adults but a dream for a couple of kids. The living room is a clean and contemporary design that connects seamlessly into the dining room and kitchen as a modern large open space concept. The fully stocked kitchen features appliances, utensils and everything you need to serve up refreshments, snacks, appetizers or make a home cooked meal. The bathroom features a tiled built-in-shower with a cubby for storage. The extra half bath is conveniently located for guests. Two comfortable bedrooms with queen sized beds for privacy and a restful night sleep so you can be ready for the next adventure each and every day you spend on the island.

The “By the Pier House” has a spacious shared porch that offers perfect vantage points overlooking Seawall Boulevard, parades down Rosenberg and sunrises over the Gulf of Mexico. The community back patio offers a spacious covered pergola with a table and seating for causal dinning and relaxing conversations to enjoy the company of friends and family into the evening.

This private condo has a private entrance that is located on the historic Rosenberg Street that connects Galveston’s historic downtown to Seawall Boulevard. It is the first house on the right side of 25th Street / Rosenberg Street leaving the Historic Pleasure Pier and a short walk to the Galveston Duck Tours, many popular restaurants, shops, and attractions in all directions. The Galveston Island Trolley (when it reopens in 2021) has a pickup spot that is on 25th and Seawall which is approximately a 1-minute walk from the front steps of the house.

Great location

This was a great place right across from the pleasure pier. We stayed 1 night but would definitely consider coming back to this place. We had a full house with every bed in use and it was plenty of room for us. The 2 bathrooms are nice to have. We used the washer/dryer up stairs and it worked great with a card.

Nice stay and very convenient location

We had a very good time at this cute apartment. Everything is as described. Since we are girl's group, 5 girls and 1 adult, so everyone sleeps comfortably. Super close to Pleasure Pier and we were able to run home just before thunderstorm came in on our last night stay. We will very likely to come back in the future.

Galveston condo 2 blocks from seawall

The condo was very clean, great location, easily walkable to restaurants, fun activities, or just a stroll on the seawall. The condo was comfortable and had a nice kitchenette to cook a meal or order delivery. There was street parking around the corner, so to avoid some street construction.

First Visit to TX

I only stay on main floor apartments like this when traveling, so this was great. You can walk to multiple places to eat, great shopping, easy beach access. Great. Perfect. March was cool, in the 60's so the beach was chilly but doable and there wasnt a crowd with 3 hour waits! Here is the ugly: The front door handle does not function properly. It does lock, but the handle is broken. Cold showers. Everytime. Tile coming up in bathroom. Needs repaired. Ripped couch cushion. I did report it to the owner and they were quick to get back with me and advised they would check on it. All these things were not a probkem for me, i just didnt want to be to blame for the issues. I never mentioned the water temperature situation, i just powered through. All in all, we really liked the place. It was a fair price, and plenty of space.

Overall Excellent - Fantastic Location and very clean

Almost perfect, but the check-in had a hiccup as the code to check-in didn't work at first. Beyond that, everything was perfect. Great location, exceptionally clean, well-thought out bedding and spacing. Great for short stay on the coast. Highly recommend.

Very nice place! Close to Pleasure Pier

The apartment was in a very wonderful location and very clean and pretty! Beds were comfortable and bathrooms were clean and neat. The whole place was very clean and updated. Would stay there again. We only found 3 issues - 1) the main bathroom floor had a loose tile and should be fixed. 2) There was a screen on the outside part of the apartment that was ripped. 3) The hot water was very cool. The hot water didn't get as hot as it should have. Otherwise, the place was amazing. Close to everything by the seawall.

Nice place

This place was nicely appointed. I was there for summer weekdays, and it was quiet and parking was easy. My only negative comment is that the kitchen is not well-stocked with supplies. A few things that I expected weren't there: a cutting board, steak knives, salt & pepper shakers, oven mitts, more than 2 tiny dish towels, a few spices. Some of the pans were good but at least one was in horrible condition - that thing needs to be thrown out! The bunk beds are cute and sturdy - the little closet they are in has a light and an air vent. The pull-out couch is suitable for maybe a 3-5 yr old child; it would be pretty uncomfortable for an adult.

It was very misleading from the photos and website, but overall the location itself was great in order to just walk down to the beach and the pier.

Review for unit 102

The location was great being close to pier and beach. Parking was a real pain. It made me not want to use the car or risk having to park blocks away or in an area that wasn’t very safe. The bath rugs were dirty when we got there and needed cleaning. Not having an ice maker was a pain especially since there were no ice trays. Also there was no soap for the shower and I didn’t think we needed to bring any. However the condo layout was nice and the teens I brought loved the bunk bed cubby hole.

Great location.

The condo was nice. The kids loved the bunk beds. I like that the condo was right by the Pleasure Pier, but it was cold so we couldn’t experience walking to the beach and Pier. The only bad thing is the shower didn’t get hot enough and it was cold outside.

Perfect location

Perfect location to walk to the beach, Pleasure Pier, restaurants, golf cart, bike rentals, Duck tour of the island and more! We had plenty of space for our family of 7! We took advantage of laundry facilities on site and a hose to spray off the sand from the beach! Bring laundry soap & bar soap, there isn’t any available on site. All in all, we enjoyed our Galveston vacation! We were glad we were in the area we were at, in order to avoid all the traffic from further down the seawall. Our first family trip to the area and we hope to be back!

Beautiful property, Great location, clean

This property exceeded our expectations. It was spotless. The location was amazing. As far as we could tell it was the closest residential property to pleasure pier. It was a short walk to gift shops, restaurants, and the beach. The property came with a parking pass for street parking right outside the condo. The kitchen is stocked with the basics you would need for cooking. Shower towels are provided. The area for the bunk beds is more spacious than the pictures appear. There was a minor hiccup while we were there but Mirna notified us in a timely manner and kept us updated while she worked to resolve it- quickly I might add! This was a great winter get away. Highly recommend this property!
