The condo was very nicely remodeled. They had everything we need to stay and enjoy our time. The property manager was very easy to communicate with and help make our stay amazing. The facilities could use some matinence and updating but the condo itself was awesome!

February 2024 trip: Condo is in a nice area. Close enough to everything but yet far enough away from all the hussle and bussle. Very clean and well maintained property.. Due note that all condo's in the Galveston area on the gulf side are behind the seawall. As such your view may be restricted from the water and or you will get road noise. This unit has a good view less the noise. The unit as a whole is very well stocked with anything you may need. A great stay for us..

We had a great time and the place was so fitting for the ocean theme! Will definitely rent again! The owners are on top of everything and the place was very clean and organized! Thanks Dave

We found this property to be extremely clean and comfortable. It had everything we could possibly need. Dave was attentive and concerned about our comfort. We would definitely stay here again!

We had a blast! Our family of 6 had plenty of space, looks recently renovated and it’s bright and tastefully beachy. The owner has thought of everything, there were plenty of supplies in the home (we even had extra blankets which is something we’ve never had!). Washer and dryer, dishwasher, beds everywhere- it is so well thought out. The kitchen is perfect for vacation cooking, completely stocked with cooking gear and necessities. Even down to baggies and covers for the cutting board. The beach is right across the road, which can be a challenge to cross but totally worth it. The fishing pier has great food, and it’s close by as well as mini golf, bumper cars, go carts, etc- all within very manageable walking distance for all of us including our 5 year old. Balcony is large and stocked with chairs and tables/foot rests, and it’s the perfect place to enjoy coffee with the sunrise. Parking is easy, and there’s an elevator that is easy to use. We swam in the heated pool, and the others looked great as well but it was January. The owner was very accommodating and was wonderful to work with, and checked in to make sure we had what we needed. We would absolutely love to stay in this unit again!

Very clean and detailed.

We visited during an unusually cold weather front over most of the country. It was great inside the condo, where we could watch white caps on the Gulf and palm trees swaying like hula dancers. Accommodations were excellent and kitchen was well-stocked. We would definitely come back.

What a cute place! We were near everything we wanted to do, and though it was a little too cold for a beach day we enjoyed the stunning views! We’d like to come back when the weather is warmer, so we can take advantage of the beautiful pool, hot tub, and Proximity to the beach! The condo was well equipped in the kitchen for everything we wanted to make, and we all were very comfortable.

Ocean Smile is a beautiful condo with all the amenities. It is tastefully decorated, well equipped, and immaculate. We loved ocean views from both the living room and the primary bedroom. Dave gets 5+ as a property owner. He communicated with us before we arrived to make sure we would be able to gain access, while we were there to make sure everything was okay, and after we left. An excellent experience, we will be back!

This is the 2nd time staying at this condo and it’s wonderful. Everything is clean, location is great and Dave is available any time if we have questions, as well as checking on us to be sure everything is going well. Thanks!!

Property was smaller than we thought, but we loved every inch of it! Great place.

Family of 7 with older kids and 1 granddaughter. I loved every aspect of this condo location was perfect, all necessities there plus , super clean and decorations gave that beach vibe. We did walk across the street to the ocean and enjoyed the on site jacuzzi since it was December. This would be a great property to come back to in the summer. Our host Dave was wonderful and texted me before , during , and after to make sure all was ok and i knew i could reach him if I needed to, but we did not have any problems. We had an amazing family vacation .

very nice unit, great location

We all loved this condo! David (owner) was very helpful and checked in to see if we had everything we needed (which we did) All the staff at condo from check in at office to the maintenance crew were very friendly and informative. The location was excellent! Balcony view you had the ocean and the lagoon. I am a bird watcher and it did not disappoint. Bring your binoculars. Loved the Rosetta Spoonbill that showed up everyday around 5 pm. I could go on and on. Thanks for everything!

We arrived in Galveston just in time for the coldest days of the fall which was not our plan! The condo was beautiful and the heat was appreciated. Due to the cold we were unable to take advantage of all the pools but the hottub was wonderful. Communication with the owner was impeccable and we loved watching the sunrise from the balcony while seeing waves crash on the beach.

We enjoyed our stay at this condo by the ocean! The ocean view was amazing! It was super clean, the decorating was so cute and perfect for a beach condo! The pools and hot tub were very nice and felt like we were at a nice resort. Dave was awesome to work with, he checked on us before, during and after our stay. It was a great get away! We will definitely be back!

3 retired ladies been friends for over 30 years had a great time

Peaceful

This stay was a breeze from booking to check out. David communicated things before we even thought to ask them. The view from the balcony is beautiful. My daughter described it as paradise. We didn't use the bigger pool but it looked very nice. The heated pool was great for the chilly afternoon one day. Owners thought of everything you might need in the condo. Huge plus was the washer/dryer in the condo. Would recommend 10/10 and stay again 10/10. Thanks for giving us a great getaway.

The condo was great! Very clean and had all supplies and kitchenware that one could possibly need. The pools were awesome. Grandkids loved swimming out to the "island". The kids loved the bunk beds! They stopped and claimed their beds before even seeing the rest of the condo. I will stay here again when I return to Galveston.

Beautiful ocean view

This is a great property located a short distance from all the busyness. Our view of the ocean was beautiful. It had everything supplied you could possibly need from the kitchen, bathrooms, & bedrooms. The balcony was great!!

Condo is so nice and has everything You might need. We enjoyed our stay there.

This was the best place we have ever stayed in Galveston! It was beautiful, clean, and the host was so helpful and kind. We will definitely come here again!

The entire condo was perfect! It was VERY well stocked with nice kitchen items. Dave, the host was excellent with responding to any questions we text him. Organized, CLEAN & very comfortable. The beds were nice and we all slept like babies! One of the BEST places I’ve ever rented and would rent again!! TEN STARS!!!!

We spent a long weekend at Dolphin Smile. The condo was beautiful and very clean. Dave (host - owner)is awesome with communications. The pools are nice. The only negative is on the condo property itself. Construction- renovations are in process, but it was the same last year when we stayed on the same property. They need to get those construction updates completed!

The condo was amazing. Super clean and great location. Dave was extremely response and available for anything I needed. This condo will by my go to whenever we stay in Galveston again.

Wonderful, clean, and convenient property. The view is one of the best on the island.

This unit is so awesome, decorated to perfection with dolphin themed art. It was spotless, and our hosts went above and beyond to make sue all went perfection. Highly recommend!

Condo unit was very clean, no issues booking or while staying and we were pleased with the updates compared to other units including in unit laundry. Location of the property was perfect but the complex is more dated than expected. Still a nice property overall though and the large pool in particular was great!

My family and I had a wonderful vacation at this property. There were 6 of us total, and we had plenty of room. The condo was clean and well stocked with pots, pans, etc. Dave, the host, was very proactive in making sure we had everything we needed for a great stay. He was fantastic. We enjoyed the balcony and it's view of the ocean and island. Maravilla is going through some much needed renovations, so some areas are under construction. But, you weren't woken up by construction noises or anything like that. I think they must have updated the pool area first because it was in great shape and we really enjoyed it. The location was convenient to access the beaches, restaurants, stores, etc. Actually, this property is about a mile south of a cluster of other properties. That was really nice because it wasn't so crowded. One of the issues I saw with Galveston in general was how these vacation properties are laid out in relation to beach access. There is a main road between most of the properties (to include this one) and the beach. So, vacationers have to cross a 4 lane highway if they want to walk to the beach. It can be dangerous. But, that's a Galveston thing and not any reflection of this property. All properties down there are in the same predicament. All-in-all, we had a great vacation in this condo. When we go back to Galveston, we will probably stay here again for sure. It was really a great experience.

My family stayed here, for a week, to attend my daughter's dance competition. As soon as we walked in, we felt the cool air and this place was clean, clean, clean. There was plenty of toilet paper, paper towels and towels for the three of us. Each bedroom, and the living room, had an awesome TV. We could also sit on the patio while taking in the great view of the beach. The blue and white decor was updated and reminded us of a true beach life. The kitchen was also well stocked with utensils, plates and glasses. The refrigerator kept our drinks ice cold which was awesome when you are coming in from the heat. I hated to get out of the shower as the water pressure was soothing. The bathroom lighting was also great, so I took some selfies and posted them to social media, and I NEVER do this. The owner was also friendly and reached out to make sure we were all set. If you can't tell already, I loved this place and would book it again.
