Galveston, Texas: Exotic Animals, Water Parks, and Victorian Mansions on the Gulf of Mexico

Galveston occupies a barrier island roughly a half-hour drive from Houston. Its gulf beaches are bathed in sunlight more than 200 days of the year. Though Galveston’s climate is almost tropical, penguins waddle into chilly waters at the city’s most famous attraction, Moody Gardens. Nearby, saki monkeys roam a rainforest habitat, stingrays glide through a 1.5-million-gallon aquarium, and snow falls on moviegoers’ noses in a 4D theater. Another popular attraction is Schlitterbahn Galveston Water Park, where you can zoom down water slides and sidle up to a swim-up bar all year round.

Step back in time with a visit to downtown Galveston’s Strand District. Here, classic cars and horse-drawn carriages roll down streets lined with old-fashioned street lamps and elaborate Victorian mansions. These brick behemoths now house art galleries, antique stores, and shops selling homemade ice cream and handcrafted jewelry.

Best place to stay in Galveston Hands down the best place we could have picked for our stay in Galveston. We don’t love Texas beaches but I have to say this place easily made up for it! VERY CLEAN condo (503) and the facilities seem to be adequately maintained as well. I do agree that overall there is a bit of aging but thats to be expected and nothing took us by surprise…and again, it was all very clean! It’s located further down the island so it’s much quieter but still within close proximity to anything you need and other area attractions. It’s also beachfront so there’s no busy street to cross and the beach is immaculately maintained, which is what we were looking for. We will definitely be back!

Good place, but needs one more thing We’ve stayed here a few times as a multi-generational family. We’ve always rented a 3 bedroom, and have had good experiences each time. The best part about the place is the beach is accessible without crossing Seawall Blvd. I’ve only given 4 stars because I’d like to see more food and drink options besides vending machines. A cafe or bar would be a great addition! Something like that could easily be placed in the covered area by the pool.

Disappointed with new management We have been coming to the Galvestonian for over 30 years, first as a young couple and then with our grown children and grandchildren. This past visit was a real disappointment. We rented 2 separate condos (spent over $5k) and the rooms were very nice. A small overlooked maintenance issue with the one bedroom…upon arrival, the window shade in the living room was broken so it remained in the closed position until we were able to manually roll it up, with the help of the very prompt maintenance worker. The worker stated since the shades were under warranty, he was unable to fix it!? Our kids and grandchildren stayed in the beautiful 3 bedroom condo. The second morning we noticed the a/c was struggling to keep cool (72*). A maintenance worker came to the room and stated our a/c was leaking water to the unit below and we would have to turn it off until it could be repaired. Although fans were offered, we were without a/c for a full 24 hours, into the next morning! No discount offered, no contact from management, even though we contacted them several times, in several ways! At checkout we were told by the front desk, the note on our account said there would be no compensation for being without a/c for 24 hours! Unacceptable! Previous management would have given something as compensation for such inconvenience. Several times during our 5 day stay, we had to have our room keys “rekeyed” because they wouldn’t work for the elevators or our rooms. Umbrella and chair rental has always been a hassle…forgotten days for setups, lost reservation, etc. Also, chairs are picked up at 5:00pm now under new management! At 5:00pm in the summer, we still have at least 2 hours of beach time! No shade after 5:00pm. Any contact from management would have gone a long way in helping with the problems we experienced.
