Loved the building and the people that manage it. Great location. Unit was almost perfect. Condo was decorated nicely except for second bedroom. It seemed like it was thrown together as an afterthought. Decor and furniture in that room was lacking and uncoordinated. Kitchen is well stocked with everything you need. Oven was clean. Fridge had ice and water. Condo could use some paint as the walls were very marked up in lots of places. Second bath is lacking counter space so hard to store toiletries. Location is across the street from Stewart Beach so you can walk to Stewart Beach or you can drive about a mile to a beach access. Not far from the strand and restaurants. Loved sitting on the balcony in the evening and watching all the action. Overall nice place to stay.

1. The day we had to leave because there was no water we got back to the room and the ac wasn’t working got up to 78. Finally after calling the front desk 2 times they had someone come and flip the breaker box on and off to get it working again. This was like a wasted day for us cause we had to leave the room. 2. It was not in the ad and I didn’t find out until I arrive that we couldn’t get in the pool until 10am.. one of the reasons I booked was for the pool cause I have 2 small children that wake up at 7am and we were planning on going to the pool in the mornings but that got messed up because if the resident only policy before 10am..this was very inconvenient. 3. The tv/cable box wasn’t working properly the picture was small and in the middle of the tv instead of filling the screen. We didn’t try it fix it just went and box a streaming box and tv to use while we were here. This was another inconvenience. 4. The movie theater speaker system wasn’t working so I had to use a Bluetooth speaker to watch a movie in there. The front desk put in a work order to get it fixed. Another reason we booked and didn’t live up to the expectation. 5. I know this a residence but with all the rules and regulations it made us feel like second class citizens during our stay. I want to leave a 5 star review but with all these things coming up I don’t see how I can now. I’m sorry but we spent a lot of money an expected it to be worth it.

We enjoyed our week stay in Galveston. Lots of activities to do and beautiful beaches to enjoy. The property was perfect, we made use of the pool daily. The owners were wonderful providing us with detailed information on check-in/check-out procedures and everything we would need to make the most of our stay. Highly recommend.

Would definitely visit again. Communications with the owners was great and the listing was spot on. We plan to visit again in the future.

Spacious and comfortable, loved the amenities. The elevator accessibility was easy and having a heated pool made it nice on those cooler spring days, not to mention the ginormous hot tub. They have it decorated really cute and it is close to a bunch of things to do! The shower was also a nice size for a guy who is 6'5". Give it a shot, you wont be sorry!

We had such a great time! The condo was clean and cozy. The front staff was so nice and the heated pool and theater room were so fun. We would stay here again for sure!!

The was our first trip to Galveston and we will definitely return! The condo was very clean and just as pictured on the listing. It was fully stocked with everything we needed in the kitchen and bathroom. We really enjoyed the grill area. The pool and hot tub were both amazing. The pool is heated and was great for cool evenings. I think we may have been considered off season since it's October but we loved the location. It wasn't busy and we were still able to enjoy the beach and the pleasure pier. The residents in the building were very friendly. The secure building made us feel safe. We had a wonderful stay and would absolutely stay here again! Thank you Daniel and Lori for being great hosts!

Our stay was great! We had all the amenities that we could ask for. The view of the Gulf was amazing each morning while drinking coffee on the patio. The pool was a perfect way to relax after a day of sight seeing. We were thankful for the beach chairs and umbrella provided by the hosts! Check in process was easy and parking was great. I would definitely recommend staying here for your beach vacation!

Love everything! Felt safe, location perfect to the beach, shopping, restaurants, etc. Great communication with property owners! Couldn’t have asked for a more perfect trip!

This condo was great, we had such a wonderful time on our vacation. The condo was very clean and well maintained as was the entire building. The outdoor pool and hot tub were fantastic and it was great to be able to sit on the balcony and overlook such a wonderful view of the gulf. Very easy check-in and checkout with great instructions provided as well as recommendations for things to do around Galveston and where to eat. I would not hesitate to stay here again.

Condo was extremely nice and well kept. The pools and hot tub were wonderful and our overall trip was great. It was out first time to Texas but won't be our last. The owner Daniel was excellent. Responded quick to our messages and took care of a minor issue we had which was out of any ones control. Top notch owner and understands a great deal what customer service is!!

Property was clean, lots of entertainment, conveniently located and the owner was an absolute delight. Kids both enjoyed their time and the place was well-equined. I would just say that it would be good if more of the amenities were noted in the summary like the beach chairs as that meant we didn’t need to bring ours. Also, the gym is only open for renters on the weekends. We will definitely be going back.

What an amazing condo. So clean. Everything was awesome 👌

The condo is nice. The owner has supplied it well. We mostly enjoyed our stay however there were a few major drawbacks that really effected our comfort. The biggest is the fact that there are huge windows, floor to ceiling in the living area. . There are also two huge all night gas stations just out the windows with large spotlights. There is no type of window coverings available and so in the evening you can not block those lights. They are pretty intrusive. We ended up not ever getting to use the patio because of road noise and in the evening the spotlights. Also, the main bedroom is very nice but the slated blinds on those huge windows make the room very light even at night with all the lights off and in the morning the light is right there with you at the crack of Dawn. The second bedroom is very very small and no windows. Felt pretty claustrophobic. All in all for the price we were quite disappointed with the view, traffic noise and lack of ways to block the gas station spotlights. Sorry but we DO NOT plan to return to this condo.

We're had an awesome trip to Galveston & loved the condo! It overlooks the very cool pool & hot tub. They is free parking. On the property as well. Property manager & security were very friendly. Lots of fun things to do nearby.

Perfect.

Excellent location. Beautiful pool set up. Quiet. Well managed.

We had a great time. The place was great...great location, great view, warm pool. Can't wait to go back.

Excellent

Very nice condo that met all our needs and was exactly as described. The pool/hot tub/grill area on the 6th floor is ah-mazing! Easy check in and a very friendly staff at the Emerald by the Sea. They kept the property spotless.

We enjoyed the property and the location. Condo was clean and roomy, pool was great.

We really enjoyed our stay at this condo. It was just as described and the amenities were awesome. We took advantage of the incredible pool/hot tub and the game room. Would definitely recommend.

Awesome place. Watching ships line up at night.

We loved staying here!! Great property and was perfect for my little family!

We loved our stay at the Emerald by the Sea! The condo is decently kept and has super cute beach décor! The expansive beach ocean views are amazing! Communication with the owner was easy & quick, no waiting around for replies on Vrbo or call backs on voicemails. Overall, great vacation rental! We'll suggest this property to anyone who says they're thinking of a visit to Galveston. A couple of suggestions are a few more pool/beach towels would be good so they don't have to be packed by renters. Some plastic dishware for use at the pool would also be good.

We stayed at this condo for the 2nd time. Our family really enjoys the location. It is convenient to walk to the beach and to some restaurants. The owner is very accommodating and friendly. Will stay again if visiting the area.

The condo is beautifully decorated with an upscale resort theme. The beds were very comfortable, the linens and towels were plush, and the kitchen was stocked with all the necessities. My favorite place to hang out in the room was the balcony over looking the beautiful pool area and Stewart Beach. The property feels like you are in a resort. From the beautiful lobby, 2 pools, giant hot tub, cabana type covered areas, comfortable pool lounge chairs, and friendly staff. We did not use the game room, movie room, or gym but they are there. We met many of the building’s residents during our stay and they were all friendly and welcoming. The owners were very responsive to our questions before arriving. This was a fantastic getaway for my friends and I and we will certainly be back.

Great host, fast respond on any questions. Clean property. Beautiful view. Walking distance to the beach. Love the security system in the building. The host went way above and beyond, there are extra pool floaty for adults and kids. Beach chairs and umbrellas. All kitchen utensils. It is absolutely my favorite VRBO experience.

The Emerald is first class and visitor friendly. Everything you need.

Our overall stay at the Emerald was excellent. The condo had every thing we needed. We look forward to staying again.

We stayed here for 4 nights and had the best experience! Very clean condo. Comfortable, great view of the gulf, spacious. The pools are fantastic. We are already dreaming of coming back next spring break.
