Sassy Seahorse - FRONT ROW - Beach Views 8 Guests

Welcome to the Sassy Seahorse where you are front and center at the Victorian condominium complex right on Galveston's Seawall and directly across the boulevard from Babe's Beach in Galveston. Welcoming up to 8 guests - and decorated in the name's theme - you'll love your stay here and be preparing for your next visit even before you leave.

Each of the 2 private bedrooms has a comfortable queen bed and there's a "bunk room" with twin over twin bunks as well, and if that's not enough space - the sofa in the living room is also a queen sleeper. There are 1 1/2 baths with a custom tiled tub/shower combination to be shared. The kitchen has a flat cook top surface, microwave, larger refrigerator/freezer and dishwasher plus everything you'll need to enjoy meals in, make snacks for game and movie nights, or warm up your leftover delicacies from any of Galveston's amazing eateries from diner style to white tablecloth elegance.

Being in walking distance to a big box store makes shopping a breeze whether for food and beverage selections, beach necessities you may have forgotten, or souvenirs to remind you of your trip to the Texas gulf coast.

The Victorian complex is located across from Babe’s Beach on Galveston’s Seawall – protected by traffic signals at both corners so you can safely walk across to the beach. There’s a huge big box store that starts with a W next door for all your shopping needs, and eateries in walking distance for sandwiches and BBQ.

Need help arranging for baby equipment? Golf cart rentals? Fishing charters? Your happy hosts at My Galveston Getaway are just itching to help you find whatever you need or want to do while on our island – our slice of paradise.

We strive for 5-star reviews from every guest but we also know that we are human. If something isn’t just right – please do let us know and give us the opportunity to make it right. We don’t like frowns but if you have one we want to turn that frown upside down so you’ll come stay with us again and tell your friends and family about us – heck – feel free to tell your enemies – they can come get happy here in Galveston, too!

The Victorian, as they say, has come a long way baby! If you haven’t been here in a while – don’t let this chance sneak by you. Gone are the days of ubiquotuous hotel-looking condos and now are the days of privately owned and uniquely designed and decorated condos. As each owner improved their property

You will have exclusive use of the entire condo - and share the pools, hot tubs, fitness center, tennis court and grounds including BBQ pergolas, fish cleaning station and a multitude of outdoor spaces with other guests and residents of the Victorian condominium complex.

You certainly COULD stay here without a car - you can walk to shopping, eateries and the beach, there is public transportation nearby, and there are several local and nationally "branded" taxi services as well as ride share (Uber, Lyft) programs in place as well as meal deliveries (UberEats, ASAP (formerly WAITR) and DoorDash available as well.

We provide self check in instructions 24-72 hours prior to arrival - and when you are on vacation - YOU ARE ON VACATION. Should you need to reach us, however, we are but a phone call or email away and ready to assist you. We are happy to answer any questions at any time, but to ensure we give you the correct code we cannot provide access instructions earlier than this.

The Victorian complex staff will greet you at their office upon arrival to verify you are a registered guest and collect the Facilities Access Fee that they charge all guests on property which is $35 per stay up to 14 days or $70 per month - and this fee provides you with up to 6 wristbands that identify you as registered guests on the property - codes to the entry gates both drive through and walk-through, as well as codes to access pools, outdoor restrooms, fitness center - as well as up to 2 parking permits valid for the duration of your stay.

What's included: Bed linens for all beds, bath, hand and wash cloth for each guest that the unit welcomes. We do not provide beach/pool towels and we do ask that ours not be removed from the condo and taken to the beach or pool. They can get damaged or lost.

Starter supplies: 2 rolls of 2-ply, quilted toilet paper, a roll of paper towels, a dishwasher tablet, small dishwashing liquid, sponge, 2 small soaps, 2 small shampoos, trash bag, and coffee including sweeteners, stir sticks, powdered creamer to make that first pot. These are not intended to last your entire group through your entire stay - but to get in, get situated and figure out where you will shop for what on the island.

The Victorian complex does not allow renters to have a pet – so if you travel with Fido or Fifi – please check out the other My Galveston Getaway managed properties that ARE dog friendly. While true service animals are an exception – you very well may be asked by the complex to provide the verification. For short term rental/vacation purposes – emotional support animals are not considered true support animals and we are unable to make exceptions to a rule that is in place and enforced by a complex in which we manage condos. Kindly be respectful. All properties managed by My Galveston Getaway are 100% non-smoking/non-vaping properties.

Cousin trip
The outside of the property looks very nice but the inside is older and needs repair. Our room 1303 had many issues including refrigerator (small) and not cooling. The welcome kit had one roll of toilet paper for 6 people plus what was left of the ones on the bathroom. The wifi was horrible and hardly usable. Elevator hardly worked and the wait time was terrible. We had two handicap and one elderly women. The complex with the pool, etc was nice but our room needs some TLC.

Friends trip
This was my first VRBO that I’ve ever booked. The entire process was so easy and the owners at the Sassy Seahorse were very easy to communicate with! The condo where we stayed was clean and getting an earlier check in was inexpensive and easy. All good things plus we were close to everything and right off the main road AND an amazing beach view!

Great place to enjoy the beach
This is a great condo to enjoy the beach as it is right across the street. We love that they had quick access to many stores and restaurants and it was easy to get to the communication with the property was fantastic and they were really great to work with. My only concern was how small the bunkbed room was, and the fact that the sofa pull out bed was not comfortable. It would be fantastic to have beach towels come with the rental since we were visiting from out of state. Other than that I’d definitely stay there again! The pools were warm and clean, the condo was just right and you get the most beautiful unobstructed view of the ocean which is why we stayed there!

Great View
Check in is easy but make sure you have the unit number ready since front desk does not have that information. Parking $35 for 2 vehicles. We had no issues finding spots close to stairs. The unit is actually on 4th level since owner garage is ground floor. Great view and did not notice street noise inside. 2 queens are comfortable, we only used the bunk room for storage. No oven, toaster oven available. No cleaning supplies other than dish soap and sponge and broom and Dustpan. No extras in the unit, bring beach chairs, sand toys, salt and pepper. Unit is clean and decorated nicely. Now for the property itself. The pool and surrounding area are very nice and clean. They do not have bicycle racks and recommend you take your bikes to your condo. Well that would have been an option IF the elevator worked. It worked for about 2 hours the 1st day of our 4 day stay. That meant 4 flights of stairs carrying luggage, ice chests etc. We were told it would be fixed soon, waiting on parts etc but that never happened. We had plans for older family members to come for an afternoon visit and dinner and had to cancel due to the stairs. Hard to believe a property can get by with this. The sign on elevators did say to use the elevator at the other end of the building but access was diwn 2 sets of stairs and literally across the building. The unit gets 5 stars and the property 4.

The best location and view in the seawall.
Perfect location. Nice, quiet, soundproof doors. I was not aware of others in the same building, like many hotels. The balcony view alone was worth the price.

Cute place with great views !
Loved the location and views. Was super nice having a grocery store next to the condo. Didn’t realize there was not a oven so can’t make a pizza haha! The complex it self is older but the check in was very easy. Great location across from the ocean and lots of places to eat and things to do. Would recommend having beach chairs and an umbrella to use would be nice but otherwise it was a great stay!!!
