Have fun with the whole family at this stylish place. Welcome in to the "Welcome Inn" at the Maravilla - top floor condo with gorgeous views to the gulf of Mexico from the minute you step inside. The condo is stylish and comfy, ready for you to enjoy your Galveston Getaway! The king bed (fit for a king, a queen, or both!) in the bedroom, true twin bunks in the hallway alcove and a large, top of the line queen sleeper sofa in the living room - comfortable for both seating and sleeping up to 2 guests - inviting up to 6 guests to enjoy this lovely top-floor condo with amazing views of the gulf of Mexico.
Everything you can think of has been thought of by the owners of the "Welcome Inn"! From the comfiest of furniture, to the kitchen completely furnished with not only full-sized appliances but also dishes, cookware, countertop appliances, and both regular and keurig coffee makers. The decor is "just enough" - not over the top - so when you're taking selfies the decorations won't compete with your outfit! One of the rare finds that has a washer/dryer in the condo - so you can pack light or stay longer!
With regard to dogs - we ask that no dogs be permitted on the furniture, ever. We may ask you for a picture of your canine companion. Only one small dog, 50# or smaller, may be in this condo, and requires approval in advance. No animal or breed identified as dangerous or vicious including pit bulls, rottweilers, German shepherds, chows or Dobermans or any mutt that contains the blood line of any of these breeds. This is an insurance regulation. Dogs only - sorry - no cats, birds, snakes, pelicans, elephants, giraffes or monkeys (or anything else).
The Maravilla charges a resort/amenity/parking fee of $10 per vehicle per day to a maximum of $70/vehicle/month. This is paid to their office upon arrival - not to the owner of the condo or to My Galveston Getaway. Upon payment the office staff will provide you with wristbands that identify you as a registered guest at the property, a parking permit to display in your vehicle(s), and codes to access the property's amenities (pools, hot tub, fitness room).
Check in time is 4:00 p.m. at all properties we manage to afford the cleaners and the inspectors time to get the place ready for you, and check out time is 11:00 a.m. so that they can prepare it for the next guests as well. The pools (3 at the complex, one heated in the off-season), hot tub, fitness center, etc. - are managed by the complex, not us - so from time to time they may be closed for service, cleaning, maintenance and we are sorry but we can't speed up their repairs or completion.
Please note that while this condo/complex are gulf front - it's not beach-front. The nearest sandy beach is roughly half a mile away. An easy walk if you're up for it and not toting a bunch of toys and kiddos - but there is also parking near/on the beaches of Galveston to make things easy.
There are showers by the pools - if you don't mind - please rinse the sand off before coming back in the condo, you'll be glad you did!
We will email you check in information 24-48 hours ahead of your arrival. We are a phone call or email away, but in general we allow our guests to just enjoy their vacation!
My Galveston Getaway provides starter supplies of toiletries, paper products, dish cleaning options and coffee to get our guests started and situated before making their shopping lists and determining which shopping option works best for their group. These supplies are not intended to last your entire group the duration of your stay - but to get started!
We also provide one bath towel, hand towel and wash cloth for each guest that the unit sleeps, along with 2 dish towels. Should you wish to have additional housekeeping services during your stay or to have linen swaps during your stay, these can be arranged with advance notice upon request at an additional cost.
There is currently construction going on in one building of the complex. This does not affect the condo you are reserving from us or any of the amities of the complex.
Galveston is a barrier island in Texas located on the Gulf of Mexico. From time to time we have unexpected rain, thunderstorms, and sometimes we do have tropical storms and hurricanes. From time to time there may be brief interruptions in electricity and WiFi services due to weather. You should consider purchasing trip interruption or cancelation protection through the platforms or another source. We are unable to guarantee sunny days, mosquito free nights and perfect weather, nor do we refund for these possibilities. We issue refunds in the event of mandatory evacuations issued by a governmental agency, or for the property being unavailable due to damages and extended power outages. Trip cancelation and interruption coverage is available through most booking platforms as well as through private vendors found on the world wide web should you wish to purchase such a policy.
After making your reservation you will receive a link to complete our renters agreement. The only information we request differently than the booking platforms (VRBO/AirBnB) is your personal email address, the names and ages of each person who will be in the property during your stay, and your driver’s license information as well as an emergency contact should we need to reach someone on your behalf. Thank you for completing this in a timely manner so that we may send you the check-in instructions for the property you have reserved.
For all reservations made directly through our website and through VRBO, there is a $300 security deposit “hold” required. You certainly can purchase trip cancellation/interruption coverage through those platforms as well if you so desire, this is a damage “deposit” hold. This is released once our housekeepers advise that the property has been left in the condition received with no damages occurring during your stay. This is not a charge, but a hold on the credit card on file with which the reservation is made. Should there be damages and they exceed $300 to repair or replace, you will be notified and asked to make arrangements to compensate for those items.

My Galveston Getaway cancellation policy: If your cancelation is received more than 30 days before your scheduled arrival date, there is a $100 cancelation fee, the remainder is refundable. If your reservation is cancelled 14-30 days prior to your scheduled arrival date there is a $100 cancelation fee, 50% of the remainder is refundable. If your cancelation is made between arrival and 13 days prior to your scheduled arrival date, there will be no refund issued.
We look forward to reading your 5 star review - and EARNING it!
