You don’t have to haul the whole family to Florida for a beautiful beach getaway. Texas offers its own Gulf Coast paradise right in Galveston, with its soft-sanded beaches, historic charm and the largest collection of Victorian-era architecture in the country.
Located near gorgeous Galveston Beach, Galveston Seaside Resort is a quiet escape that offers oceanfront views and an infinity-edge pool for our Signature Collection villas, and direct beachfront access just across the street from our standard villas. At our beach resort, you can also take on the kids in a game of mini golf, enjoy our swim-up poolside bar and shoot pool in the arcade.
Outside the resort, take a scenic drive along the Galveston Seawall to stop in at charming shops, art galleries, seafood spots and more. Then follow the Galveston Seawall downtown to read up on the history of this seaport island at the Strand Historic District and the 1877 Tall Ship ELISSA.
Our beach resort is also located near exciting hot spots, like Galveston Beach, local Galveston marinas, the wondrous aquarium and rainforest at Moody Gardens® and the towering water slides at Schlitterbahn® Waterpark.
Galveston Seaside Resort offers spacious two- and three-bedroom villas that come with a fully equipped kitchen, dining room/living room area with a sleeper sofa, balcony and more. For added luxury, upgrade to a Signature Collection villa featuring enhanced amenities. Wi-fi and parking are free for guests.

- TTTravelerNov 17, 20252.0As a Timeshare owner with Holiday Inn Club Vacations, I’ve always appreciated the overall experience the resorts provide. However, I did encounter several concerns since I checked in that I feel should be addressed. We were placed in the Villa section. While the room itself was very nice, the master bedroom tub was dirty upon arrival, and I have photos documenting the issue. I informed the front desk, but no one has followed up with me or offered to send someone to clean the tub. Here we are three days after arrival, and still no one has come to the room to address it, which has been very disappointing. I was also surprised to learn that guests not staying in a Signature room are not permitted to use the facilities in that building. At other HICV properties—such as the Villages Resort in Flint, Texas, which we visit regularly—guests staying in the Villa or Presidential sections still have full access to the pool and hot tub. With the Villages location officially closing (a notice I still have not personally received), I was hoping Galveston could become our new go-to destination when visiting this area of Texas. Unfortunately, being told that we cannot use certain amenities unless we attend a preview or book a Signature room, despite being owners, was discouraging. I hope management reviews these concerns, as addressing them would greatly improve the experience for current members as well as future guests.
