Galveston is an amazing and fun community! There are so many different things to do and see...there truly is something for everyone. Within walking distance of Dancing Mermaid, you'll find go-carts and miniature golf, fishing and dining at Jimmy's on the Pier, batting cages, and our local movie theater. Moody Gardens Golf Course is located nearby, as is the entire Moody Gardens experience and our world-famous waterpark, Schlitterbahn. In town, enjoy one of many fabulous restaurants that offer everything from fine dining to international cuisine to some of the best burgers around. If shopping is your thing, visit The Strand and Post Office where quaint shops and art galleries abound. You won't want to miss Mod Coffeehouse or Hey, Mikey's Ice Cream!

And, we love our festivals and special events here in Galveston! Mardi Gras, Lone Star Biker Rally, Dickens on the Strand, and the numerous triathlons, marathons and walk-a-thons are popular events throughout the year. Bird watching, kayaking, and fishing of all kinds round out the many outdoor activities enjoyed by both locals and visitors alike.

We just loved this unit. Beautiful renovations, wonderful patio and view of the pool. Beds were comfortable in bedrooms and grounds were lovely for the kids to enjoy the pool.
Pleasantly surprised and happy with location and accommodation!
This particular unit is lovely and has everything you need! The overall complex is a little rundown but the large pool was great! Beach is literally across the (large) street!
This condo was everything and more. We have stayed at other Maravilla condos but this one was by far our favorite. Spacious, kitchen well equipped, laundry essentials. Our kids loved the bunk beds and the KING size bed in the spare room. Beds are comfy and AC works really well, it was a must for being summer time and a pregnant wife. We will be back like we are every summer but will definitely try to book this same condo.
It was great as usual got in the hot tub and enjoyed our beautiful new years ever !!! Always wonderful to stay here. We even have a name for it ! We just call it new house!!? lol
We had a great experience at the Salty Mermaid. Spacious, clean, well decorated, and the deck is AMAZING. Beds were comfy. The location is great, easy access to everything Galveston has to offer. The pool was fun and refreshing. The only thing I can suggest is that the kitchen could be better appointed. There were only 2 coffee mugs in the cabinet, but there were 5 of us. And, it would be nice to have some glass dishes, measuring cups, and simple salt and pepper.
Amazing property with great owners that care about their guests. Easy to check in, lots of parking options and the place was SUPER clean. It has all the basics plus items for the beach. Having the washer and dryer onsite helps us pack lighter. The property is well maintained, clean, safe and they have a security walking around on site. The heated pool is great for kids! Its located right across the beach.The property is going through renovations but that did not affect our stay at all. We would definitely come back!
This was our second stay at this property. Our daughter attends a summer day camp in Galveston every summer and this is a comfortable and clean place with a great location for us. We are able to work from the condo while she's at camp and then we all get in the pool at the end of the day. They are still doing construction on the complex and only one elevator was working when we were there but that was only a pain on the first and last day of our stay when we were unpacking or packing. The beds are comfortable and the unit had everything we needed. We look forward to returning next summer.
We stayed in this unit for 10 days with another couple and enjoyed our time here. The "welcome" cooler bag and goodies from the management company was an unexpected and much appreciated surprise! Check in and out was a breeze as well.
The location can't be beat! We really enjoyed having the beach directly across the street and the beach chairs, umbrella and beach wagon provided in the unit were AWESOME!! We just loaded up the wagon and popped across the street. *BOOM* Beach day with very little effort!
The good - excellent air conditioning (a godsend coming in from 100+ outdoor temps!), HUGE indoor and outdoor space, updated decor and comfy beds. The complex itself is a little rundown, but is undergoing some much needed major renovations. Totally expected for a building subjected to the ocean and salty air.
A couple of "creature comfort" suggestions - provide more paper products (toilet paper, paper towels) and floor mats or throw rugs for sandy feet.
If we ever make it back to Galveston, we'd definitely stay here again. Thanks for everything!
Very nice condo! Nicely remodeled. Very clean! Love the tall ceilings and bunk beds were a hit for our small daughters! Would have been nice to have a cross walk closer by so not playing Frogger to get to the ocean! Pet friendly is a plus. There is an above unit that was loud when walking or rolling toys beware! Great to have hot tub and heated pool since was chilly. We wish the pool would open before 10am.The TVs in bunk beds and lights on stairs to bunk beds not working. Both bathroom sinks have reverse temperatures. Both showers had poor to no water pressure. Shower closest to laundry had no in between temperature, either hot or cold. Ice makers was producing a white powder so just pulled straight out of freezer. Need glass plates to use microwave. The entire building needs to be redone as it is outdated. Tacky that there is a massive dumpster in the middle of parking lot near the building—should put in corner instead. And would have been helpful to know there is a beach wagon, chairs, umbrella, and beach toys for guests. But hey it was really nice!
The condo was beautiful and very spacious! Plenty of room for everyone and in close to the main pool
Very easy check in process, great location, very clean and just a beautiful home. The patio that overlooks the main pool is so relaxing. This was by far the best condo we have rented. We would love to come back again.
My kids and I stayed at this beautiful property called the Salty Mermaid. It was absolutely perfect! Our view, the property, the location. We could not have asked for a better experience. Thank you and I would highly recommend anyone to stay here.
We were here for 4 nights so that our 7 year old could attend a 3 day summer daycamp. The condo had everything we needed and was very comfortable. We were able to work from the condo while our daughter was at camp and then had a great time in the pool every evening. We would love to stay here again.
This is a gorgeous condo. It looks just like in the pictures. We really appreciated all the little touches (blankets for the living room, beach towels). We vacationed in July and didn't use the deck very much, but we would love to go back in the fall or spring because the deck was just amazing. It would be so lovely to have coffee or dinner out there. My only criticism was that the water pressure in the master shower was not very good. Everything else was perfect. I highly recommend this condo.
We had a great time in Galveston and staying at the Salty Mermaid! The condo was exceptionally clean and stocked with everything we needed (except a blender)! The pool options were nice to have. The grounds were well kept and clean. Easy access to the beach was a bonus!
We came here in April and returned in September. This is the only place we've stayed in more than once. When the biggest issue you face is a night light with dead batteries, you can't really ask for a more perfect place. Everywhere else we've stayed over the years had some issue that caused us to keep looking. We're done looking.
