About this apartment rental
Family-friendly condo directly on the quiet beach! You'll LOVE our uninterrupted panoramic views from the two private balconies - they're a great way to relax and enjoy the day. Our complex boasts a NEW pickleball court, half court basketball, and updated pool and lounge furniture, too! We’ve got what you need for your stay, and East Island Oasis is conveniently located minutes from everything Galveston has to offer.
LOCATION
East Island Oasis is in the Islander East Resort, on the east end of the island between East Beach and Stewart Beach. The condo is just steps down the private walkover to our exclusive beach. That's right - no playing "Frogger" trying to cross five lanes of Seawall Blvd with your kids in tow. Also, there is no driving on our beach, so your focus can be on enjoying your family and the water.
The heated swimming pool, half court basketball, tennis court, pickleball, outdoor shower, picnic tables and gas and charcoal BBQ grills are all available for use. Lobby has a 24-hour staffed desk, separate free wireless internet service, ice machine, vending machines, and a coin operated laundry.
EAST ISLAND OASIS
Our 6th floor condo has panoramic views that are second to none. We’ve got what you need to enjoy the beach: chairs, toys (beach and pool), and beach towels. Had enough sunshine? There is free, upgraded wireless internet throughout the unit, as well as HD Cable and TVs in every room. We just added a NINTENDO CLASSIC WITH GAMES (kids young and old will have fun playing the retro games!), Netflix, DVDs, and board games.
Check-in: 4 pm
Check-out: 11 am
BEDROOMS
The ocean views from the master bedroom are incredible, especially when enjoyed with a cup of coffee on the balcony listening to the waves. This room has a NEW KING bed and a full dresser with plenty of room for unpacking.
The inviting guest bedroom sleeps 4 easily, as it has a double and twin bunk bed, as well as a twin trundle bed. There are blackout shades and a night light to help nap toddlers.
The living room is also equipped with a sleeper sofa that easily converts into a queen size bed. Additionally, we have an infant pack-and-play, linens, and towels.
Check out or photos to see our recently updated bathroom.
KITCHEN
The efficient kitchen has granite counter tops and is fully furnished with a dishwasher, cooktop, convection oven (which also has a microwave mode) and refrigerator. Our kitchen comes fully stocked with dishes, pots and pans, and utensils. We've just added a detached pantry, to make it convenient to store groceries if you want to dine in. Other features include toaster, full set of kitchen knives, and bar setup. The new Keurig coffee machine comes stocked with starter pack of coffee pods and creamers.
ATTRACTIONS
Galveston has many area attractions, including the Pleasure Pier that is only 5 minutes driving distance from the Islander East Resort – it’s so close it can be seen from the balconies. The Strand and many local restaurants are just minutes away. The downstairs lobby has a multitude of brochures for everything to do on the island. A few nearby attractions include Schlitterbahn Water Park, Moody Gardens Pyramids, Bishop’s Palace, Moody Mansion, and much more. There are 2 golf courses on the island: Moody Gardens Golf Course and Galveston Country Club. Going out or staying in, you’re going to have a great time!

Community with property manager was so open and easy, like talking to an old friend.
Enjoyed the stay in a clean quiet place with excellent view and amenities.
Older property that still gets five stars!

Loved this condo. Had everything we needed and was really nice!! Will definitely book here again!! Can’t recommend enough.

My daughter and I had a great stay. Very clean and well stocked. Beds were comfortable. Perfect views of the beach. Two balconies. Off the living area had two tall chairs and off main bedroom had two rocking chairs. Quiet (no noise from neighbors). Didn’t use pool but looked clean. Short walk to beach which was not crowded. Definitely would stay here again. Gail the host was absolutely fantastic.

Had a great time here. Everything was very smooth and great communication. Even though it rained all week we still had a great time at the condo. Highly recommend.

It was so great being a short walk away from the beach. Our family loved being in a more secluded area. We also had a good time playing in the pool and doing some pickleball/basketball. Everything was a short drive away that we needed. We highly recommend!

Very nicely appointed condo. We enjoyed the grounds and easy beach access as well.

My husband and I escaped to Galveston for a small mini-vacation. We’d stayed at the Islander East before but not this unit. We selected it based off the reviews and photos and were not disappointed. Very comfortable and well stocked condo. I especially loved the Nintendo unit and available games, entertainment options. The upgraded shower was great. Also appreciated the dehumidifier unit for the damp beach air. My only issue was the short toilet and my tall husband had some trouble so just fair warning to those with above average height but it was more amusing than anything else. We had a great time and would definitely stay again!

This was our first trip to Galveston and it did not disappoint! We loved the location on the private beach. The staff were so friendly that we felt at home right away. We appreciated the security and all of the activities on site. The condo was the perfect size with every need met. The hosts were phenomenal to work with. We also thoroughly enjoyed the town. Great food, fun to be had and laid back. Everything we didn’t know it would be and everything we loved!

Close to the beach.
Well decorated and equipped. Simple. It’s all you need.

I’ve rented over 30 different VRBO’s..this is one of the top ones for me. Everything was clean, well organized & offered a lot of extras. Bed was very comfortable..pillows needed more variety.
While there was no place in the closet to hang clothes (lots of fun & practical items stored in there) there were plenty of drawers. Loved the dehumidifier. The a/c worked great & the shower had plenty of water pressure! The Nintendo console was a really fun blast from the past, too. While the cost was a bit high, the included extras (beach chairs, TV subscriptions, etc) and peacefulness of the unit made it worth while. Also, the check in desk was very friendly & helpful with local info.
Best restaurant we tried was BLVD Seafood.
Definitely recommend staying in this unit!!

This condo was perfect for our getaway. When we walked in we noticed how clean and fresh it was. It had everything needed for our stay. Our host was the best. She made sure everything was taken care of before we arrived which made checking in a breeze. If available we will stay here again in the future.

Our family (2 adults, 2 pre-teen children) stayed at the rental over president's day weekend. We found the listing to be just as promised.
Kitchen - small but functional for making quick meals. Enough pots and pans to get you by. No traditional oven, so don't plan on frozen pizza. Fridge isn't full sized, but we had plenty of room for our 4 day stay.
Bathroom - plenty of towels and hotel type soaps. Only negative, the toilet is really low!
Bedrooms - king size bed was comfortable enough for a good night's sleep. Kids were comfortable in the bunk beds. Didn't use the sofa sleeper.
Pool - We were the only ones in the pool for our entire stay, now that probably has more to do with the weather than anything. Pool was heated to 85 degrees and felt great after coming out of the 60 degree gulf water!
Staff - the staff for the condo could not have been more friendly and welcoming. They were quick to offer assistance and more than happy to recommend attractions on the island. There was a short term power outage (about an hour) during our stay likely brought on by some strong winds. Staff got us key to get into the stairway so we could get back up to our condo.
Our host, Gail, checked in on us upon arrival and on day 2 to make sure everything was okay. She responded to messages in short order and was very helpful.
It was great to walk from the condo to the beach without parking or crossing the busy road! Quiet end of Seawall Blvd was exactly what we wanted, and received!

This rental clearly caters to families, with plenty of toys, activities, rounded tables, and very little in the way of glass furniture/ornaments. There was a pack-n-Play in the unit, it had a mattress and linens, and the three tiered bunk bed with trundle is an awesome touch for the kids' room. King sized bed in the master was perfectly comfortable with a mattress topper, and the windows were armed with some serious floor to ceiling blackout shades - just got to make sure you overlap them where they part and you'll sleep through the most intense sunrises if your kid kept you up all night, lol (yes, we tested this).
The kitchen is small, but surprisingly functional - they have lots of different pots and pans, utensils, both in porcelain and plastic for the kids. Reminds me of an RV we owned for size reference, we set a one person in the kitchen at a time rule. Check out the fridge size before you do your grocery run, buy half gallon sizes or less to maximize. No ice maker, you're going to want a couple of coolers if that's important to you.
It got below freezing for us, but they supplied a space heater and it was the perfect thing. The host is incredibly responsive.
Things I wish I had brought:
Sound machine for kids' room.
Something soft for the floor for the infant.
Swiffer to clean the floor constantly (sand! There is a broom, I'd just prefer it).
This was an extremely pleasant and peaceful visit to Galveston, we really enjoyed the unit and would recommend it.

I loved the condo and highly recommend it. The location was perfect for beach-lovers. The condo was well stocked with all the necessary items, the bed was very comfortable and the view from the balcony was wonderful.

This is a great stay especially for family and young kids! My 1.5 year old son had plenty of toys to play with in the room and the beach was within walking distance. The games in the first floor were also really fun (bocce ball, pickleball, basketball, pool) and we were close to other fun museums and attractions in Galveston. 100% recommend!
4.9
The condo was great! It was stocked with everything we needed. The space was comfortable & convenient to get to the beach. The only issue was the room wasn’t cleaned well. There was long black hair scattered around with big clumps on the bathroom floor & in the shower drain. There was a half full water bottle under the sofa & the dishwasher was full. We didn’t know if they were clean so we ran them again.

Just stay at Grand Galvez or San Luis resort. We didn’t know the area and decided to try Vrbo. This is and old building and needs rehab. My husband has a mustache and goatee but the check in person called him Christina multiple times. That went over as well as a train wreck. We got stuck in one of the elevators which both of seem to be 40+ years old and the call button in it is disabled for whatever reason. It was then taken out of service and repaired next day. The unit is ok but smells of what I think is mold being covered up by some kind of cleaner. The lock to get in is cumbersome and should be replaced with a Bluetooth one. Somehow lost the email with the code so were locked out for about 45 min at 6am. The Wi-Fi is 24mb so the zoom meetings I had were choppy. Signing and initialing around 10 things at check in that say things like you are responsible for all attorney fees if we sue you and etc is not pleasant and that you have to clean the unit because it’s not a hotel room but rather someone’s home while charging a high cleaning fee was off putting. There are two ev parking spots but no chargers not sure what the point of that is. Both spots flooded ankle deep after an hour of rain. The gate is coded and locked but was left slid open multiple times maybe broken not sure. Laundry machines leak all the detergent all over the front of the machine instead of inside of it.

This was the perfect spot with a full ocean balcony view from the living room and bedroom!
Would definitely stay here again!
The property itself is amazing and the host made sure that we had everything that we needed upon arrival and during the stay!

The view is amazing and the beach is quiet/not crowded. The unit has all beach necessities and John at the front desk is friendly and accomodating. Will definitely stay here again in the near future.

We have stayed in this condo before and we would definitely stay again. The kids love it and the full kitchen helps you save a little money on food. We love it here! Book it now, totally worth it.

For the Galveston area, this condo stands out, because you're on the beach! And not separated by the Seawall road.
Very clean condo, great bunk bed for kids and nice master.
I liked that the building was gated and secure. Nice heated pool as well.

Great little condo. Wonderful location - close to beach (short walk via wooden bridge), restaurants. Great amenities of the condo itself - 24hr manned front desk, pool, tv with Nintendo mini, lots of hooks for towels, plenty of towels, beach toys.
Note for families there is no bathtub and it is a single bathroom so can take a while to get everyone through showers. Doesn’t take away anything from the property but just to be aware!
