Amazing Sunsets! Sleeps 6! 3 pools!Dog friendly, great views!
Come and enjoy our beautifully decorated “Happy Place”, located on the 3rd (Top) floor of the Maravilla condominium complex. BALCONY IS OPEN!!
The Maravilla is conveniently located right on the Seawall across the street from the Gulf of Mexico. Minutes from Pocket Park Beaches to the west and equally as close to beaches to the east with umbrellas to rent to catch a little shade.
At My Happy Place, you’ll enjoy a fully stocked kitchen, comfortable king bedroom with a private bath entry. Extra guests can enjoy the queen sized pull-out couch or either of the two adult sized bunks and a hall entry into the bath.
Beachy themes, soothing grays, whites and blues accentuate the walls and furniture. Sit back on the lounging couch and gaze though the huge picture window to watch a beautiful sunset.
This condo has one of the the BEST views of the ocean and the courtyard! We are also home to the biggest resort pool on the island along with a 5ft deep Wade-in pool and a heated pool on the east side of the complex. There is also a hot tub located near the resort pool. Ooooo-La-La, it’s time to book those dates so you can swim or lounge by the pool while gazing up at the gorgeous palm trees and blue skies!
Parking accommodations include covered parking for most of our guests. The parking fee is $10+ tax/ night/car. With a 7 night max rate/month You may come and go as many times as you’d like.
Many recreational activities such as Putt-Putt and Go-Karts, are located close-by and you are just minutes from many great restaurants, as well as the fantastic World Reknown Water park: Schlitterbahn; the wonderful attractions at Moody Gardens, and ever-popular opportunities to salt-water fishing.
My Happy Place is 521 square feet with sleeping accommodations for 6 or 7 depending on age and size of individuals. The private bedroom features a KING bed with bedside tables and lamps on each side, a power cord, lots of pillows, and a comfortable quilt. There is a full-sized dresser, and full-length mirrors on the closet doors to assist you in those details when getting ready for an evening out. There is also a private entry directly to the bathroom which features a vessel sink and shower-tub combo.
Kids or adults will want to snuggle up for a good night’s sleep in the adult-sized bunks which are across the entry hall from the bedroom. The top bunk has a rail to give added protection. There is an attached ladder for access to and from the top bunk.
The den accommodates 2 more guests with a queen-sized sofa bed with an added mattress topper for more comfort. Pillows, linens and a blanket for this bed can be found in the ottoman beside the couch.
Enjoy cooking in the fully stocked kitchen with full-size appliances, drawers full of kitchen gadgets and eating utensils, or use the crock pot, blenders, charcuterie boards and a nice collection of Rachel Ray pots and pans.
Drink your morning coffee made using Mr. Coffee coffee-maker or the Keurig and enjoy the ocean breeze on our beautiful balcony.
The large windows allow you to take in the gorgeous view while relaxing in the den to watch the pelicans and seagulls fly or to gaze at the colorful hues in the sky as the sun slowly sets each evening.
Your precious pooch will love our condo too, but don't forget to kennel your fur-baby when you leave to explore Galveston or sit by the pool. Pick up your pet policy from the front office when paying for parking and collecting swim wristbands. Only one dog allowed unless both dogs' combined weight is less than 60 lbs. Please confer with me, the owner, about the breed of your dog. The Maravilla now offers a dog-wash located in front of the east pool in the parking lot. There’s also a dog-run/play area in the back of the complex.
Also, make sure you’ve paid the pet fee if you’re bringing a dog. It will be $100 for the entire stay. Owner can allow for exceptions.
Thank you for being interested in my condo and I do hope you will book for a fantastic and fun get-away!

The condo itself was spotless and very nicely updated. It was also very well equipped with everything we needed, especially in the kitchen. It is unusual to find a kitchen so well stocked in a VRBO.

Long time viewer. First time VRBO user.
Good morning Galveston!. Factual. I’m the cheapest man on the planet. Hands down will never stay in a hotel again. The pool is why I booked this place by pictures, One of the nicest pool set ups I’ve seen. Honesty no idea about the beautiful ocean view until we walked in. The amenities were beyond belief at one point I walked in to my 14 year old playing “Mission Impossible” on a N64, that boy never touched his iPhone after that. 10 of 10

Great time at the beach with my grandkids
Sharon is such a gracious host. The condo is always clean, comfortable and well stocked. We brought our grandkids with us this time and they loved the bunk bed nook! Wonderful family memories! Thanks Sharon!
It was amazing & everything was literally as pictured ! Our small family enjoyed the views from the balcony, you can't see the sunset or rise due to it being positioned but that didn't take anything away. We just took a short walk to the beach and enjoyed that. It was very easy checking in and out.. The pools are a plus ! Definitely will be returning in the near & far future .
The property itself could really use some updating which they seem to be working on. Everyone was very friendly on property. Our host was amazing. This was my first time ever using VRBO and it’s truly been a great experience. I loved the short walk to the beach. It’s great to be able to walk right across the street and be on the beach. You are down from all the busy parts of the island if you want a more laid back experience. The view from the balcony was great for looking at the Gulf or even the birds and bunnies that are running around the property. The property was very family friendly.

The condo was decorated perfectly and was fully stocked for everything needed to accommodate us in anyway. The view from our balcony was beautiful overlooking the beautiful courtyard with pools and walkway. Our puppy totally enjoyed her first trip as well and the balcony was her favorite place to be. We will definitely be back soon and will recommend to our friends and family.

Attention to the little things!
Owner was very attentive, communicating promptly when contacted. Further, you could tell they wanted their guests to lack nothing, you could tell it in the little things, like spice packages, K pods, soap and shampoo, clean linens, books, DVDs, coffee table puzzles, legacy video game system, even the possibility of rainy days were fully covered in their thoughtfulness. We lacked for nothing and very much appreciate it!

Absolutely Fantastic
Our family travels to Galveston for getaways pretty often we have stayed pretty much everywhere you could possibly stay and out of all the places we have stayed this has been by far the best it was absolutely perfect the condo is fantastic extremely nice and cozy. They had stuff for the kids to do, family games, books to read. The view is awesome and to top it off it’s literally less than a minute or two walk from the beach. The property has fantastic swimming pools and hot tubs. Any time we return to Galveston this will be the place we stay. We could not have been more pleased.

Marabella Owner Makes Our Stay Delightful!
While we can say great things about the condo we just rented (clean, conveniently located, etc.), the most impressive thing was the responsiveness of the owner, Sharon. Each time we asked a question, she responded very promptly, within a minute or two. She also contacted us after check-in to follow up and see if we had other questions or needs. What a pleasure dealing with such a conscientious and courteous person. Thank you, Sharon!

Great home away from home!
We had a great time in Galveston and the condo was very nice. We didn't get to enjoy the pool areas, the weather wasn't cooperating. They are doing construction on the other side of the complex, so it was a small inconvenience, and not as clean as expected. The outside of the building does need some updating, but overall a good experience. Communication with owner was great. Would definitely recommend!
