Timeshare Resorts near Galveston, Texas

[pedro47]

Are there any timeshare resorts near Galveston, Texas and would March be a good time to visit the area?

There are several: Inverness by the sea, peregrine townhomes, HIVC Galveston seaside, Four Seasons, San Luis condos, HIVC Galveston Beach..

Peregrine & HIVC Galveston Beach are the only 2 on the ocean side of the road, the others are on the opposite side of the road from the beach. Peregrine is not in Galveston but about 12 miles or so down the road and is pretty secluded. Of these resorts, the HIVC are the nicest...the seaside used to be part of silverleaf and the beach was part of another club ( can't remember the name) that got merged into HIVC.

Yes March is a good time to go. DD graduated from Texas A& M Galveston and lived along the sea wall...we spent quite a bit of time there during that time period but that was 10 years ago so not sure what the best attractions are. Moody Gardens is good for a day or two. Never cared for the beach there but DH & DD used to go Kayak fishing and really enjoyed it.

It was an Escapes Resort.

I have stayed at both HICVs many times. You will only find the Beach Club in RCI Points or in HICV. You will find plenty of weeks in RCI Weeks at the old Silverleaf called Seaside Resort.

We stayed at The Silverleaf Seaside in October 2007. The 2 bedroom unit was clean and spacious and they let us bring our cocker spaniel. It is pretty far down the road from the main area so not walking distance.

We did 3 different Silverleaf resorts on that trip and all were nice. One was in the Hill Country and one was on Lake Conroe. We chose them because they were pet friendly at the time- I’ve read that exchangers can no longer bring pets. It was a good way to see some areas of Texas we had not been to and use some RCI weeks that we had.

I read your review.

 

[Sandy VDH]

I read your review.

I have several for the Seaside property, and at least 1 for the Beach Club although I have stayed there more than once.

Since TX properties do not have a lot of reviews I usually try to post one when I stay at a resort. I have reviews posted for every Worldmark and Wyndham in Texas too, as well as nearly every HICV (but am missing some of the older previously Silverleaf resorts).

I used to own a Peregrine Week. I got it for free. I used my Week primarily to access RCI Points. Decent Resort. Pretty much rebuilt after a hurricane 7 or 8 years ago. The above describes it well. I visited the Resort whenever I wanted to get away and clear my mind. My recollection is that bird watchers liked the Resort but I have no personal knowledge about that...

Did you catch many kayaks?

Sorry! I couldn't resist!

No but the sharks almost did

Sorry for the late reply. Inverness by the Sea is DOA.

You may see rentals for them, but it is no longer a timeshare. The real estate company that bought the place was renting the units out as apartments.

We are now staying at HICV Beach Resort

HICV Seaside is way out in BFE.
