Beautiful place. It had all the extras we needed. Towels, toiletries, an umbrella, kitchen supplies, wash pods, games, books, and more. The location to the beach and Walmart was perfect. It is on the third floor and has a great view on the balcony (just be ready for the stairs). Kids loved the upstairs balcony bedroom. We had plenty of space for 5 people.

Magnificent for my mermaids

This location was perfect for our family who love the ocean and shelling at the beach. The amenities were great and worked well, it was clean and mostly quiet. Beds were comfy and this space comfortably slept everyone. We would love to stay there again.

It was just what we needed. The property owner was very responsive and very quick to respond any time i had a question. The views were awesome from the balcany and master and even the loft of the ocean. Walmart is right across from where you enter to park so if you need anything its right there.

Perfect location

We had an amazing time at Mermaid Lookout! Absolutely zero complaints. The condo itself is beautiful with a great view and useful amenities. The location could not be any better in my opinion. The beach is a short 5-7 minute walk and you pass right by the pool coming and going! Close to restaurants, shopping and Walmart is right across the street. We definitely plan on returning in the future!

It was so much fun staying in this beautiful and clean beach condo. Julie has thought of everything to make the vacation relaxing… Beach towels, chairs, games, lots of phone charging outlets, Lots of Keurig coffee pods, the beach view from the balcony was wonderful. I wish my kids were with me on this trip as they would have loved the spiral staircase with beds in the loft upstairs. Just in case you miss the parking fee of 40 for 3 days or 50 if you stay longer can be purchased in building #2. Also make sure you find the condo before you walk all your luggage up the wrong green set of stairs like we did as there is no elevator. I highly recommend this condo with the very attentive owner Julie who is very quick to return messages. The 2 pools are clean and beautiful. I have more kind things to say especially that I am so thankful I found this rental because my vacation was better because of it. PS there are a lot of different codes to memorize so write them all down to keep them all straight: the car entry gate, home door, beach gate, exercise room, etc.

Nice

The place was nice and very clean. Really the only complaint is the bed in the main bedroom. It is loud and cracks whenever you move and not comfortable. Other than that, you are right across from the beach, nice view and super easy check-in process and communication.

The Mermaid Lookout is perfect and precious. The attention to detail is remarkable and so refreshing. So comfy! It was just the two of us for our anniversary however, we may choose to share it with our grandchildren in the future. There is even original art from children who have stayed there! “Best day ever”. ❤️

Excellent location and great view of the ocean

The property is close to everything, restaurants, Pleasure Pier, souvenir shops, great view, very private. But there is no elevator, so walking up 3 sets of stairs is a must. First impression of the property was great, very pretty. Unfortunately, the AC wasn’t working so we kept windows open. it was very dirty, including the floor, couches, beds. The housekeeper had to come and fix our beds because it was very unacceptable. We waited for over an hour for her to arrive, and missed out on some activities we had planned. Also, there is no wifi, tvs did not work, beds made so much noise! Communication with the owner was okay. We do consider coming back for our next trip, if the condition of the inside of the property where it needs to be.

Our family came to Galveston as a Christmas present to the kids instead of doing a bunch of gifts. The Mermaid Lookout more than exceeded our expectations. The pictures do not do it justice. Great view, clean, spacious and a quick walk to the pool, hot tub, and beach. The condo was well stocked and had everything we could need for our stay. We would definitely stay at the Mermaid Lookout again! 10/10 would recommend.
