Awesome place on the beach!

Everything is great - the view, the decor, the facility. The pelicans like to cruise at that level too.

Beautiful Property!

Pictures honestly do not do this place justice. So beautiful and a great location. Condo included everything we needed, beds were comfortable and the pool was great. One of the absolute most beautiful places I’ve stayed at. My only complaint is having to wear that armband to show I’m a “guest” for a week that the property requires but I understand the need for residents to be able to identify people.. so can guarantee security is top notch.

Beautiful vacation home perfect for small family

Our family of 4 thoroughly enjoyed this beautiful place. Conveniently located right across from Stewart Beach we had an amazing view and only a short walk to the beach. The beds were comfortable, everything was immaculately clean and tidy. The building was in good condition and the staff very friendly, checking in and out was a breeze. It was easy to use the game room and the pool was never crowded. We used the kitchen to cook several meals and it was fully stocked with everything we needed. Washer and dryer were also easy to use and clean. I don't have any complaints, it was a lovely experience.

We really enjoyed our vacation in this condo

The view is spectacular, the sea can be seen from the bed in the master bedroom, the condo is spacious and has what is necessary for cooking and basic necessities, we really enjoyed the pool, the games room, we roasted ribs on the barbecue grills Pool, the only thing we lacked is to use the cinema, the staff was very kind to us, thanks Scott and Nacy for your good attention.

Family Easter vacation

We go to Galveston every year for vacation. This is the first time we have stayed at Emerald by the sea. It was a great facility. The guest service was top notch! My kids had a blast in the heated pool and hot tub! The lady working the desk gave us some great recommendations for dinner too. The condo was nice, but not very kid friendly. The last night there, went to load the dishwasher as asked, but it was still full of dishes from the stay before us. If you’re a late sleeper I don’t recommend it. There’s a LOT of light from all the windows, even with the shades down. The “furniture” in the living room and dining room is patio furniture so it wasn’t very comfortable to hang out and watch tv or eat. I would definitely stay at the same facility again, but not the same condo. It was very clean and tidy, but not very family oriented and we always go as a family.

Pretty great except……….

The unit was as described. You will have plenty of room for 4 or 5 except they only have 4 chairs at the table and no stools at the bar—3 pool towels—. Why advertise as 5? Pros: great location, nice building amenities and helpful staff in building. In fact everyone from the building was very nice and welcoming ! Well decorated but no chairs on the main balcony so I guess you take the table chairs outside? Cons: towels were very rough and some washcloths were so spotted I wondered if we got the rags? When we stripped the beds as requested the mattress cover on one of the twin beds was very stained. We also did not have the control for the fan/light in the 2nd bedroom. You could not leave the fan running without the light being on at night and it was very warm at night in there. The main bedroom had unfinished electrical work in the closer and what appeared to be dirty linens and towels in the closet. There were building supplies and empty boxes in both closets but no hangers or hooks anywhere except the bathrooms. We had to throw the coats etc on the table in the hallway. Bring your own shampoo and shower gel too! If they fix the above it will be a very nice rental which we would use again but not deal with Vacasa as they did not answer the couple of emails we sent them asking for hangers and the missing fan control.
