Welcome to the Sassy Seahorse where you are front and center at the Victorian condominium complex right on Galveston's Seawall and directly across the boulevard from Babe's Beach in Galveston. Welcoming up to 8 guests - and decorated in the name's theme - you'll love your stay here and be preparing for your next visit even before you leave.
Each of the 2 private bedrooms has a comfortable queen bed and there's a "bunk room" with twin over twin bunks as well, and if that's not enough space - the sofa in the living room is also a queen sleeper. There are 1 1/2 baths with a custom tiled tub/shower combination to be shared. The kitchen has a flat cook top surface, microwave, larger refrigerator/freezer and dishwasher plus everything you'll need to enjoy meals in, make snacks for game and movie nights, or warm up your leftover delicacies from any of Galveston's amazing eateries from diner style to white tablecloth elegance.
Being in walking distance to a big box store makes shopping a breeze whether for food and beverage selections, beach necessities you may have forgotten, or souvenirs to remind you of your trip to the Texas gulf coast.
The Victorian complex is located across from Babe’s Beach on Galveston’s Seawall – protected by traffic signals at both corners so you can safely walk across to the beach. There’s a huge big box store that starts with a W next door for all your shopping needs, and eateries in walking distance for sandwiches and BBQ.
Need help arranging for baby equipment? Golf cart rentals? Fishing charters? Your happy hosts at My Galveston Getaway are just itching to help you find whatever you need or want to do while on our island – our slice of paradise.
We strive for 5-star reviews from every guest but we also know that we are human. If something isn’t just right – please do let us know and give us the opportunity to make it right. We don’t like frowns but if you have one we want to turn that frown upside down so you’ll come stay with us again and tell your friends and family about us – heck – feel free to tell your enemies – they can come get happy here in Galveston, too!
The Victorian, as they say, has come a long way baby! If you haven’t been here in a while – don’t let this chance sneak by you. Gone are the days of ubiquotuous hotel-looking condos and now are the days of privately owned and uniquely designed and decorated condos. As each owner improved their property
You will have exclusive use of the entire condo - and share the pools, hot tubs, fitness center, tennis court and grounds including BBQ pergolas, fish cleaning station and a multitude of outdoor spaces with other guests and residents of the Victorian condominium complex.
You certainly COULD stay here without a car - you can walk to shopping, eateries and the beach, there is public transportation nearby, and there are several local and nationally "branded" taxi services as well as ride share (Uber, Lyft) programs in place as well as meal deliveries (UberEats, ASAP (formerly WAITR) and DoorDash available as well.
We provide self check in instructions 24-72 hours prior to arrival - and when you are on vacation - YOU ARE ON VACATION. Should you need to reach us, however, we are but a phone call or email away and ready to assist you. We are happy to answer any questions at any time, but to ensure we give you the correct code we cannot provide access instructions earlier than this.
The Victorian complex staff will greet you at their office upon arrival to verify you are a registered guest and collect the Facilities Access Fee that they charge all guests on property which is $35 per stay up to 14 days or $70 per month - and this fee provides you with up to 6 wristbands that identify you as registered guests on the property - codes to the entry gates both drive through and walk-through, as well as codes to access pools, outdoor restrooms, fitness center - as well as up to 2 parking permits valid for the duration of your stay.
What's included: Bed linens for all beds, bath, hand and wash cloth for each guest that the unit welcomes. We do not provide beach/pool towels and we do ask that ours not be removed from the condo and taken to the beach or pool. They can get damaged or lost.
Starter supplies: 2 rolls of 2-ply, quilted toilet paper, a roll of paper towels, a dishwasher tablet, small dishwashing liquid, sponge, 2 small soaps, 2 small shampoos, trash bag, and coffee including sweeteners, stir sticks, powdered creamer to make that first pot. These are not intended to last your entire group through your entire stay - but to get in, get situated and figure out where you will shop for what on the island.
The Victorian complex does not allow renters to have a pet – so if you travel with Fido or Fifi – please check out the other My Galveston Getaway managed properties that ARE dog friendly. While true service animals are an exception – you very well may be asked by the complex to provide the verification. For short term rental/vacation purposes – emotional support animals are not considered true support animals and we are unable to make exceptions to a rule that is in place and enforced by a complex in which we manage condos. Kindly be respectful. All properties managed by My Galveston Getaway are 100% non-smoking/non-vaping properties.
