Playa Fiesta-Galvestonian 2 BR/2 Bath

Welcome to Playa Fiesta (Beach Party!) - let your vacation begin in this amazing 7th floor condo where you see the sand, surf and sky through the wall of floor to ceiling windows the minute you walk in.

The colorful kitchen invites you to make anything your culinary expertise will allow - fully furnished and equipped with cookware, glassware, dinnerware. Of course if cooking on vacation isn't your thing – use the ASAP or DoorDash apps, or many of the local restaurants deliver themselves - delivery or pick up to go.

Each comfortable and spacious bedroom has a queen bed. The master has balcony access as well. The living room has a queen sleeper sofa (if you are not an early morning person, though, please note that the gorgeous window wall invites the gulf sunshine. There are light difusing but not room darkening window treatments - so it will likely be bright in the mornings. There's also a chaise in this room so everyone can gather for a family game night, rowdy card game or great conversation. The living room, dining area and kitchen are open so everyone is "together" whether watching TV,. playing cards, working a puzzle or fixing your next gourmet meal in the well-appointed kitchen.

The complex has a pool and hot tub, and a direct beach walkover to the sand. There are umbrella, chairs and bicycles for rent - please ensure you give the front desk your payment method as you cannot bill these to your room in this privately owned and professionally managed condo. These expenses are your financial responsibility.

This complex does not have laundry facilities available to guests. Many local laundrymat/washateria facilities offer laundry by the pound service, or we can make arrangements with one of our housekeeping contractors for a pick-up/drop off service for a fee if that is more convenient for you.

We will email you check-in instructions, and we are a phone call away - but we leave our guests to enjoy their stay unless they need us for any reason.

After making your reservation you will receive a link to complete our renters agreement. The only information we request differently than the booking platforms (VRBO/AirBnB) is your personal email address, the names and ages of each person who will be in the property during your stay, and your driver’s license information as well as an emergency contact should we need to reach someone on your behalf. Thank you for completing this in a timely manner so that we may send you the check-in instructions for the property you have reserved.

Excellent Galveston Getaway!!!
The Fiesta Playa condo at the Galvestonian was the perfect place!! The layout of the condo was excellent with two full bedrooms & two full baths, fully appointed kitchen & located on the 7th floor nothing came between your view of the beach & the ocean. The condo is only minutes from the excellent wharf restaurants & the Strand. Peaceful & beautiful…easy check in and checkout, no parking fees required, very safe…just amazing!!! Do yourself a favor and book this awesome place!!!

Perfect location!
We had an amazing weekend and loved every minute! Playa Fiesta is the perfect room, very clean, comfortable furnishings, and excellent views. We had a total of four people and felt we had plenty of space. The host were fantastic and so were the employees at the Galvestonion...they went above & beyond to make sure we enjoyed our time. We didn't want to leave and can't wait to visit again. We will be renting the same unit.

Galvestonian Greatness!
Four of us stayed at the Galvestonian Playa Fiesta June 2-4 for a girls getaway, and we couldn't have picked a better place! The condo is located within 2-3 miles of the main strip with all of the restaurants, but is in a more quiet, less travelled area. It is charmingly and wonderfully decorated, clean, extremely well stocked (with kitchenware, towels, even beach toys!) and has very comfortable beds. The views from the balcony (and the comfy balcony chairs) are magnificent. The complex has a beautiful lobby, helpful staff, and exceptionally well cared for grounds and amenities! The beachfront setting and private beach are ideal. The pool (huge) and hot tub are fabulous! We didn't want to leave. I would definitely recommend Playa Fiesta, and look forward to our next getaway there! Thank you to the owners for sharing your beautiful home with us!

Wonderful Stay!
We really enjoyed our stay, condo is really cute, we loved fun beach vibe, and adored the view from the bedroom and living room- so amazing to wake up and see the Gulf. Loved that we could change pool towels to fresh ones at the reception as many times as we needed. The only unfortunate thing was that there is no laundry/washer/drier on the territory, but we were able to call laundry service. Owners were very fast to reply and really accommodating and allowed us later check out. Overall we had a wonderful time and definitely recommend this condo.

The condo was very nicely furnished with a colorful beach theme. The balcony has a great view. My only complaint is that there was no closet available in the master bedroom and the closet by the front door had kitchen cleaning supplies in it.

Great time in Galveston
This property was excellent. It was exactly as described, perfect location, great view. The inside was spacious, and clean. The internet was fast and reliable, which was needed as we both had to do some work while on vacation. Being right on the beach, without having to cross Seawall Blvd, was a huge plus. The condo was stocked with plenty of towels and other necessities. This was our 1st trip to Galveston, and we are glad this was where we decided to stay. We are already talking about a return trip, and another stay at this property. Highly recommend.

Playa Fiesta, June 2023
This is my third repeated trip to Galveston to stay in this unit at the Galvestonian. I love the way this unit is decorated and is so colorful! This time I had a couple of issues. A small problem was I could not get in with my things with my keycard, so I had to wait for maintenance to arrive to reset the lock and then I was able to get in. Then that first afternoon I noticed a high-pitched whining sound from the primary bedroom bathroom that happened a couple of times and I called and mentioned it and said I would let them know if it continued. That night starting around 11 PM and throughout the night the sound happened numerous times one after the other. The noise was too loud to sleep through so that was a challenging night. I called in the morning, and they said they would look at it and provide a sound machine which they did. I heard the sound again that afternoon and for the rest of my stay (2 nights) I slept in the bedroom in the front of the unit instead of the primary bedroom. Since I had stayed there before with no issues it was surprising to have this come up and it was not obvious what was making the sound. The unit itself had some nice upgrades from my previous stay. I love the new rugs that were added! Overall, I do enjoy this unit I just had that sound issue this time that really interfered with enjoying my time there. The Galvestonian itself is always a wonderful place to visit!

Overall ok
The condo and the location are nice. However the master bedroom was disappointing for many reasons. First, there is 0 privacy because the door doesn’t have a lock and does not close at all. Second, too bright. They need some serious shading on that room. Third, there was an annoying whistling noise going on every 5 minutes and it was hard to sleep. Also, there is no access to the closet, I don’t know where is a lady to hang out her dresses. The cookware were not clean, found hair on one of the plates and knives were rusted. Management was able to assist with some other issues in a timely manner, which was nice. Spices provided are expired. I might sound dramatic but this was not up to my standards, especially when you’re paying $4000 for my stay. Despite all this, my family and I still had fun and made great memories.
