This unit is a part of Emerald by the Sea Condominiums
At the point where the road ends and you hit sand you will find Emerald by the Sea, another exquisite development by Sunhill International. Boasted as Galveston Island's Crown Jewel, Emerald by the Sea is conveniently located near The University of Texas Medical Branch and within a few blocks of Galveston's Historic Downtown District full of shopping, restaurants and nightlife.
Emerald by the Sea is Galveston's paradigm to the new-urban movement changing American life. It's breath-taking view from places such as the infiniti-edge pool deck to the four distinct pools is tremendous. The amenities it offers such as the movie theater, dine in the wine room and outdoor bar and grill are just a small portion of the items this complex offers.

on 08/31/2018Upon arrival this condo wasn’t clean. There was sand in the bathtub and some other unmentionable particles, kitchen floor was sticky, food splashes on cabinets and doors, etc. Remote for DVD needed batteries. I made the necessary corrections and informed the front desk staff, who are always professional and helpful during every visit. The management company informed me late the evening prior to departure that my request 1.5 weeks prior for a late checkout was denied as they had a renter coming the day of my departure. The island was experiencing extreme weather, and the late checkout was no longer desired as there was a flash flood occurring. However, I informed them of the issues I had encountered, and they were condencending about the state of the condo as well as accusatory that my issues were solely a result of my late check out being denied. I have never been treated like this as a guest in any capacity. I will always be a fan of the Emerald and will continue to visit often but would not return to this condo or any property being managed by it’s current management company.

on 02/25/2017The condo is nicely decorated and the building is beautiful and well maintained, the location is excellent but best served with bicycles. The beds are extremely comfortable but the living room furniture was not very comfortable when you sat on it you kind of slid off. The floors need to be steam cleaned or scrubbed. The property manager was very responsive when we asked for a vacuum, however the roaches were out of control, I bought bug spray and sprayed the kitchen myself in an effort to get them in control. Hopefully the owner or property manager took our advise and had a professional come in.

on 05/28/2016Condo was nice, updated, and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. The view of the beach was gorgeous, also had a great view of the city. We will be going back

on 07/03/2015The facilities were nice, the staff was friendly, accommodating and helpful, the other guests seemed to be good people with proper behavior and likability. Location was good. Our unit should have been stocked better with everyday items such as t-paper, towels, cooking items etc.. We would definitely stay here again, but would be better prepared with our "staple" items.

on 06/12/2015Rain, rain, rain and more rain... Both off shore fishing trips were canceled due to rough seas.... One day at the beach and the rest of the days are filled with rain... Tropical Storm warning so the patio furniture had to be moved into the living room inside condo..... Way too crowded... Decided to leave a day early and head home.... Very disappointed in this trip....

on 07/27/2013We loved the Emerald and would highly recommend the building to families with kids, or really anyone. The Emerald itself is very convenient to Stewart Beach across the street, and all the other attractions of Galveston. Also we found the guest services people to be friendly and responsive. Condo unit 1012 was nice and clean, well maintained, etc. Only slight issues were a somewhat soft/uncomfortable master bed, and the seal on the door to the (wonderful beach-facing) balcony needs to be repaired. The wind whistled through the living room a bit on windy days...

on 07/25/2018Overall the property grounds was a nice location, clean and friendly staff. The Cindi however, was not as clean as it should of been. Very dusty and AC didn’t work too great. Master bathroom has hair all over the floor of the shower and drain. It’s was not stocked with toilet paper (almost empty roll in all the bathrooms) not a drop of dishwashing liquid and towels were a minimum. Back door on balcony is broken and hard to close. May return to Emeral, but not this particular condo.

on 08/02/2015This is our family's third visit with Emerald. The property management is very professional and the grounds in and out are always immaculate. We have vacationed in beach houses before, but the Emerald hands down meets our needs. We have ease to and from the beach, downtown and the sea wall areas. We'll be back.

on 07/30/2015Condo had lovely ocean view and also overlooked the pool so I could keep an eye on my teens swimming below. Staff and residents were very friendly. Condo was cute and clean. We were minutes from downtown, pleasure pier and moody gardens. Would definitely recommend.

on 10/07/2014We stayed at a beautiful condo on Seawall blvd near the convention Center where we met for church services in October for 8 days. We loved the balcony, pool, gym.

on 05/30/2014It was my daughters 21st birthday and the perfect getaway. The property had everything we needed. The location was perfect,right across the street from the beach. It was spacious and felt like home.

on 08/03/2013We very much enjoyed our stay at the Emerald. It was located well in Galveston and we enjoyed all the local sites as well as visiting the Houston Zoo which was only 1 hour away. The Condo was very clean and new looking. The House Company was very good about putting the 2 twin beds together to form a full size in the 2nd bedroom The listing says it is on the beach and it is the closest building to the beach but it is actually across a very busy street from the beach. It looks like the owners have not yet finished remodeling this unit as there were very few decorations added and there were no paintings or wall coverings at all in the 2nd bedroom. It sorely needed a full length mirror and the back door that led to the balcony would not lock. Other than these very minor inconveniences I would definitely recommend this to a couple or family with one or two children.
