She Sells Seashells at the Victorian

Welcome to She Sells Seashells at the Victorian - there are some in every room and it will encourage you to go to the beach and find some to take home! This lovely condo, located in the quietest area of the complex, will surround you in the comforts of home while vacationing or working on the island. The condo welcomes up to 6 guests on the queen bed in bedroom, queen sleeper in living room, and bunks in the hallway alcove. Come get your seashell fix here!

This is a lovely 1 bedroom/1 bath condo with 2 burner cooktop, microwave oven, dishwasher and smaller fridge/freezer - just enough for heating leftovers, making popcorn for movie night, your fresh cup of morning java. This is not what would be considered a luxury or modern property - and is priced accordingly. Budget friendly condo - one of a few left where you get so much more than a budget motel room.

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.

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.

Beginning with all reservations made on or after May 10, 2025 – there will be a policy change in that WE must collect $35.00 for every reservation at the Victorian which will include up to 2 parking permits, the number of wristbands equivalent to the number of people that the property is advertised to sleep, WiFi password, codes to entry gates and codes to access all property amenities. This will be reflected in your charges when you make your reservation.

Should you have more than 2 vehicles, we will need to know in advance and collect an additional $35 for each 2 vehicles. If rubber touches parking lot – it is a vehicle. That includes cars, golf carts, motorcycles, and trailers. If you arrive to the complex and have additional vehicles, additional parking permits will not be provided for those vehicles and they will be subject to the complex’ towing policies in effect at the time. There is nothing we can do about this, unfortunately, and we turn over that money to them.

This applies to rentals of 1-7 days in duration. For rentals that are longer than that the charge is $70 per month for each 2 vehicles. If you have 3 vehicles and are staying 30 nights it will be $70. If you have 3-4 vehicles it will be $140.

We will need to ask you in advance how many vehicles you will be bringing so that we can request additional funds from you if necessary as the platforms no longer allow us to collect those fees off-platform.

Again – the parking/resort/amenities/facilities fee is one charged by the condominium complex, not by the owner of the condo or My Galveston Getaway and we appreciate your understanding.
