Holiday by the Sea | Near Moody Gardens - Galveston

Welcome to your Galveston beach retreat! Just steps from the sand, this cozy 1-bedroom condo sleeps up to 6 with a queen bed, bunk bed, and trundle day bed. Relax on the private balcony with stunning Gulf views, or take advantage of the well-equipped kitchenette for easy meals. Perfectly located near shopping, dining, and entertainment, it’s an ideal getaway for families or couples. Conveniently situated right next to the elevator and stairs for easy access.

Welcome to my cozy beachfront condo — just under 500 square feet, but thoughtfully designed to sleep up to 6 guests.

The private bedroom features a comfortable queen bed.

Two more guests can sleep in the hallway bunk beds.

The living room features a daybed with a twin mattress on top and a pull-out twin trundle below, comfortably sleeping two guests.

You'll also have a full kitchen setup, including a mini fridge (please note this is the only fridge and it is compact), a two-burner cooktop, microwave, mini dishwasher, Keurig, and sink. I’ve stocked the kitchen with the essential cookware and dishware so you can prepare simple home-style meals during your stay.

This is essentially a small apartment — but with an amazing Gulf view! I truly love spending time here, and I think you will too.

The entire inside of the condo is available to you except for one locked closet where I keep extra supplies.

Kick off your shoes, get comfy, and make yourself at home. Peek behind doors and in cabinets and get familiar with the space. It’s yours for your stay.

Please use the designated platform for communication, except in urgent situations where a phone call is necessary.

I am generally available to respond to messages from 8 am to 9 pm, including weekends and holidays. If you contact me outside these hours, I will address your message the following day. Managing multiple listings is a responsibility I uphold, and this approach helps maintain organization.

This property has special local compliance requirements which include a signed rental agreement, ID verification, and a security hold of $1000(which is not a traditional security deposit, just a pending transaction). As an optional alternative to the security hold, you may opt in to purchase a non-refundable damage waiver provided by a third-party insurance company. The optional damage waiver is $40 for stays up to 10 nights, with an additional $2 per day for stays longer than 10 nights. Damage waiver purchases are optional.

To make this process easy for you, we use a secure and very simple, app-free platform called Happy Guest. It is not an app, and you do not have to sign up for an account - it’s a safe and secure website. It also gives you a guest portal with all the info about the home and all of my favorite local spots.

Your guest portal includes advertisements with third-party upgrades that you may want to enhance your stay. These upgrades are optional and include:
🛎️ Early Check-In: Early check-in is sometimes available, but not guaranteed. If the home is ready early, the hour before check-in time is always free, and if you’d like to get in earlier, it’s $15 hr.


Please take some time to read this section carefully before you book. You should agree to everything here in this section before booking. If not, please consider booking elsewhere. We really just don't want you to be disappointed or have to change your plans after booking.

Here's a quick breakdown of what's to follow in this section.

- This is a managed condo property with a resort fee
- You'll need to agree with and abide by guest rules
- Smoking and pets are not allowed
- This is a private home, not a perfectly-managed hotel

MANAGED CONDO PROPERTY
Alright, please note that this condo is part of a managed condominium resort property, The Victorian. There is a $35 resort fee you will need to pay when you check in at the front lobby. The resort fee covers access to all the on-site amenities like the pools and hot tubs and comes with up to two parking passes. If you need more parking passes, it'll be another $35 for every two additional passes. If you stay 14 days or longer, the resort fee will be $70 per month also payable at the front desk.

GUEST RULES
You'll also need to sign and agree to guest rules that will be given to you when you check in at the front lobby. If you'd like a copy before checking in, just ask. We can send you a copy after you book. Please be aware that there are multiple privately-owned condo units at The Victorian. Some owners live in their condos full-time while others rent them out to guests like you. Please be courteous and respectful to owners and their guests alike. Our on-site security officers are available if they're needed.

SMOKING and ANIMALS
Two other very important things to note as well: we cannot allow smoking in or near the condo and we're not able to accommodate pets of any kind. Please consider booking elsewhere if you need to smoke or bring your pet/s. If you do smoke or bring a pet, your reservation might be cancelled and you might be charged a minimum $250 fee.

SUPPLIES
We only provide starter packs of any supplies we do provide. We always provide two rolls of toilet paper and a few bars or travel size soap. We might not always provide things like paper towels, extra rolls of toilet paper, shampoo & conditioner, body wash, tissue, etc. If you need something extra, you'll have to bring some or pick some up for yourself. There are plenty of stores nearby including a Walmart right next door.

A PRIVATE HOME
Also please understand that this is a private home. We try to keep it in perfect shape, but that's unrealistic. Some things might be missing or broken, you might encounter bugs/pests/rodents, the water might be shut off for maintenance in another unit, etc. These things are rare of course, but we don't want you to be surprised if they do happen. We can't give refunds if you encounter things like these. If you need something though, please just ask.
