Penthouse with Gulf & Pool Views Seawall Blvd - Beautiful Deck/Family Friendly!
Beautiful, comfortable, and relaxing 1,175 sq. ft. 3rd-floor penthouse condo with oversize deck overlooking the lagoon pool on the Gulf of Mexico. The deck chairs are made for relaxation, comfortable and inviting; sit back, relax with a cool drink, feel the breeze, watch and hear the waves! We call this Island Time!
Around the corner!! Moody Gardens/Golf Course and Spa, Schlitterbahn Water Park, Jimmy's on the Pier fishing and restaurant over the Gulf.

Want more adventure? Check out the downtown Strand area. Beautiful turn of the century Victorian shopping/dining areas. Some of my favorite boutiques, along with the Stand - Tina's (voted the best boutique), across the street is Head to Footsies, another jewel. After shopping, dine at Fisherman's Wharf, delicious seafood at the right price, and see the historical Tall Ship Elissa up close.
A must for the kids, La King's Confectionery features a 1920's soda fountain, serving malts, shakes, ice cream sodas, sundaes, splits, floats, and your favorite fountain drinks. They proudly make and serve "Purity" ice cream, Texas' first ice cream manufacturer, since 1889 founded on Galveston Island. This place is amazing!
Galveston Historical Foundation is very active on Galveston Island; as a result, the island is home to the largest collection of Victorian homes in the country. Explore the beautiful Bishop Place and Sacred Heart Church on 14th and Broadway.
Next is 1859 Ashton Villa. Built by James Moreau Brown, beginning in 1859. The family occupied the house by 1861. Mr. Brown was born in New York State on September 22, 1821. He was the youngest of 16 children. After running away from home, he was apprenticed to a brick mason. He left New York around 1838, arriving in Galveston sometime in the mid-1840s. In Galveston, he opened a hardware business and became quite prosperous. This beautiful home is located at 2328 Broadway St, Galveston, TX 77550
The Moody Mansion - Of all the jewels in Galveston’s architectural crown, the Moody Mansion at 2618 Broadway, Galveston, TX, is arguably the shiniest of all. As one of the Top 10 wealthiest Americans at the turn of the century, W.L. Moody Jr. and his family spared no expense to make the mansion more than a home. It was a gathering place for the nation’s movers and shakers and a social spot for the family to relax in splendor. What makes the self-guided tours at the Moody Mansion unique, organizers say, is narrated by Moody family members.
Take in the East End Historic, Cool Tours, and ride the trolley. Check out their schedule online.
We hope you enjoy your stay on beautiful Galveston Island and make lasting memories!

Condo was exactly as advertised, super clean, spacious, and well stocked. Very family friendly, we liked that location was a little less busy than further down the sea wall. Awesome view. We had a great trip!
This property is exactly as it is portrayed on Vrbo. The view is simply perfect. It had plenty of space for our family of 5. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a great place to stay in Galveston
This penthouse like condo was perfect for our trip. The view was fantastic and its was in a great location. Loved the little extra's the host left us. Provided beach accessories and the pools were amazing. Yes Galveston on the High was perfect!
We had a wonderful time staying in this condo. Beautiful view of the ocean. Several pools to choose from. Our grandkids loved the bunk beds! They especially loved the snacks and ice cream that the owner thoughtfully provided. We highly recommend this place.
Beautiful property with the best balcony veiw i have ever had on the island. Every need was met and the host went above and beyond to make sure we had anything we could possibly need. My wife, parents, and i spent 6 days and 5 nights here. The resort style pool was beautiful and clean and a short 5 minute walk to the beach or puttputt and gocarts was also great. We would 100% recommend this listing to anyone.
The view was fantastic, LOVED sitting on the balcony- super comfy beds! Doreen was fantastic and had treats to welcome us which made all of us super HAPPY!
You check in at the office and get parking pass and wristbands to get into the pools- which were great pools- lady at office was great - super friendly and great info about property.
It had everything we needed to make fantastic family memories!!!
The property was as described overall. Everything was very clean and lots of extras were a surprise. We were unaware that both bathrooms were upstairs. For older folks with knee problems, that was an issue. Also seating downstairs was not comfortable for all of us.
Good location and away from the noise of downtown. We cook most of the time and my only complaint was kitchen utensils were sparse.

Best view, Best condo on the island
we just returned from renting this condo for a week and wow, was it fantastic! super clean, great view, great complete and outstanding pool. Condo has everything you would need, just bring your beach towels and floats. Cant wait to stay here again.
We loved our stay in Doreen’s condo! Everything was perfect for our family and our girls did not want to leave. We loved the patio in the evenings and early mornings.
Very nice and clean place to getaway and relax. Nice view of the ocean and pool area. Doreen was a wonderful host willing to take care of her guest. Will definitely be back.
The condo was absolutely perfect. It was happy and relaxing, decorated beautifully and overall a great stay. I wouldn’t change anything about our experience. The owner was very easy to work with and made herself available to answer questions anytime.
Great place, nice location, huge porch with views, pools galore, Family friendly and superb hosting. Spotless and newly renovated space was a great. Speaking of treats, Doreen is easy to work with and the polished touches of snacks and ice cream was the cherry on top.
We had such a great time, the condo was very clean and had all the tools needed in the kitchen to cook up a last minute meal. Doreen was very helpful and available if we needed anything. Looking forward to another stay soon!
Doreen was a wonderful hostess, she even let us know when bad weather was moving in. We would recommend this condo to anyone.
