Nice interior of condo. Clean and well stocked. Great views of ocean and pools. Gorgeous landscape. Construction was an eye sore and property is a bit dated. The owner was a pleasure to deal with.

Girls trip
It was perfect! The beach is across a busy street but the pool is amazing so we didn’t get in the ocean. The lady at check in told us there wasn’t a elevator for us and it’s on the 3rd floor!! We took all of our luggage up 87 stairs!!! When we walked out we saw people going to the right out of the front door and down 10 steps there was a elevator!!!! So if you stay there, there is a elevator!!!! The condo is perfect!! If you go out the door in the 2nd Bedroom you can see the sunset & out the other bedroom watch the sunrise!! The owner was great to work with and responded quick with any questions!!

Relaxing Location with Wonderful View
Great location with a wonderful view. We had a small hiccup when we first arrived but the host acted fast and went above and beyond. There are some renovations going on but the workers are very kind and pleasant to converse with.

Enjoyable Maravilla Visit
The condo was nicely redone. The view from the lanai was beautiful. The pool was really nice. The grounds themselves were nice, even though the street-presence left a bit to be desired as the as they were significantly under repair and didn’t show well. There was a problem with the cleaning service, so the condos was down-rated, but the owner made quick adjustments. Overall, we enjoyed our stay at Maravilla!

Condo in Galveston
Great location on the Seawall! The patio view is amazing over looking the pool and Gulf of Mexico. If you have trouble with stairs, there are about 10 stairs to get to the front door and both rooms and bathrooms are on the 2nd floor of the condo. We me friends for a weekend getaway! We had a nice time!
