Glaveston beach getaway

Great place to stay!

We had a great stay at the dancing mermaid! The condo was very clean with beautiful furnishings and decor. All of the necessities were provided and we were pleasantly surprised to find additional items like beach toys and pool towels. We especially enjoyed the large balcony with comfy patio furniture and the awesome pool. We had a wonderful time thanks to this great condo!!

Great place to Stay in Galveston.

The unit was exactly as it was described. It was updated, well appointed, spacious, nicely furnished with a large balcony and great views. The complex itself could use some updating but the pool area was great.

Fun in the sun

Our stay at Dancing Mermaid was a weekend made of memories. The condo was newly renovated and beautiful. The 500 sq foot balcony had an awesome view of the pool and night sky. Michelle and Leta were more than accommodating to see that our needs were met. We would definitely stay here again.

Beach Stay

Fun, super clean condo. Pool was a nice break from the salty windy beach! But the condo is still close enough to load up and cross the street to the beach! It’s a ways from the pier so traffic wasn’t bad! But still an easy enough drive to the pier.

Cypress Bunch

Picked a property close to home this year. Our three kids each rented their own condos at Maravilla and we rented this one as the meeting place for Thanksgiving. The view and large patio was perfect and the heated pool was great for the grandkids. Very clean and perfect size for our group of eleven to meet. We will definitely rent again.

Pre-Mothers Day Getaway

My 2 sisters and I, along with our mother, just spent 3 nights in this BEAUTIFUL spacious condo with an amazing balcony overlooking the pool with view of the ocean. It was VERY clean and updated with stylish decor and furnishings. It was nice to have a full size washer and dryer. Great location! This condo was much more than we expected and we have already started planning our next stay at Dancing Mermaid.

Dancing Mermaid Is Beneficial

Lovely stay. Exceptionally clean. Comfortable beds! Great communication prior to stay. Staff at Maravilla were courteous and helpful. Well maintained courtyard grounds, pool, and condo. Dancing relieves stress, increases energy and happiness. “Dancing Mermaid” condo did this for us and can for you!

Our stay at the Dancing Mermaid was better than expected. With the exception of the patio furniture needing updating, the condo was in excellent condition and the location was perfect. The elevator was not working for the first few days of our stay, but other than that, we had a great experience.

Excellent condo

The condo was amazing, and everything was so nice and neat when we walked in. Very inviting, and Much better than being in a hotel room. My family loved the balcony, where we sat every morning and night taking in the beautiful ocean view. The grandkids loved the huge pool, almost more than the beach. The pictures are exactly what you get. I would rent this again in a heartbeat.

Family vacation

Comfortable and quiet. Very impressed with the overall look and comfort of the place. Facilities were good. Workout area could use some attention. Pool area was cleaned daily and we had the place to ourselves most of the time. Loved how the apartment sat back away from the road and was protected from the wind and car noise. Kids loved the wildlife that hanged around the pool area and the birds made for a very tropical experience.

Beautiful Condo

The inside of the condo was well maintained, clean and nicely decorated. The complex is being renovated, so they’re working on improving it. However, I will say that the apartment is much nicer than the complex. There are several conveniences at the complex, such as the dog park right around the corner of the building and the pool. Overall, we would definitely stay again! I highly recommend this property if you want accessibility to the beach and a quick drive to other tourist destinations.

Just as Pictured!

The place was beautiful and just as described in the pictures. The fully stocked kitchen was a huge help. There were board games, plenty of regular and pool towels, and beach toys for kids. We fully enjoyed our stay. The only changes I would make would be the shower curtains ( I think it's time for new ones), a good mopping of bathroom floors (we found hair when we entered), and the tub was very slow to drain. Other than those minor things, I would definitely stay again.
