The best part of our stay was the overall building. The amenities of the game room, pool, hot tub and even gym are great! All the owner needs to do is put a safety lock on the door, put up curtains in the living room and everything else is great!

Great location in Galveston

Emerald at the Sea is a great location in Galveston, close to the Strand, restaurants and the beach. Check in was easy, parking was even easier, and the condo was well appointed. My husband has limited mobility, and the pool mobility chair was easy to use so he could enjoy time in the water. We enjoyed our stay over Memorial Day weekend.
