About this property

Historical Galveston Home - 2 min Drive to Sand and Seawall!

Being less than 10 blocks to a relaxing beach in multiple directions, this newly renovated home located in the Galveston Historic Lost Bayou District and will be perfect for beach enthusiasts and those looking to seek out the activities in Galveston.

THE SPACE – LIVING ROOM / KITCHEN & DINING:

Walking into this 2-bedroom home, you'll be greeted by a very comfortable living area with plenty of seating and light for your family to gather. Sink into the leather couch after a long day or watch the hottest game on the included smart tv!

Adjacent to the living room, there's a splendid dining area and full kitchen that has all the stainless-steel appliances one could ask for including a full refrigerator, oven, microwave, dishwasher, and stove, as well as a Keurig for those mornings when you need a boost. We’ve also included some k-cups so that you don’t have to run out for them your first day. Here you’ll additionally find an outside porch and stairwell that leads you to the captivating back yard.

Past the kitchen is the full bathroom, half bathroom, and bedrooms.

THE SPACE – BEDROOMS, BATHROOMS

The master bedroom includes one queen poster bed with a view of the backyard, along with a ceiling fan to keep you cool and relaxed. There’s even an extra chair for those times you’d want to steal away in a good book. The second bedroom provides two queen size beds for extra guests to spread out. There’s plenty of natural light in here too as well as a nice-sized closet to hide add any clothes or extra belongings to. No need to bring linens either, we have you covered on that.

There is a full and half bath accessible in this home, so you have ample space to get ready for your days. The full bath includes a lovely renovated stand-up shower too so that you can wash the day away. We’ve also included a full-size washer and dryer so you can lighten your suitcase too!

THE SPACE – OUTSIDE

You will also have access to all areas of the outside of the property where there is extra seating and a small yard to relax in. Don't forget the outside shower for that pesky sand that came back with you from the beach🙂

We also provide an EV charger plugin for vehicles that need a quick charge!

There’s also a nice porch in the front for extra space to have that morning coffee.

Whether you want to enjoy your time the night before you depart for a cruise at the Galveston Cruise Terminal (twenty minutes away), enjoy a day at the beach (less than 5 minutes away), take the family over to Moody Gardens or Schlitterbahn (less than five minutes away), or just hang out at home, this location is the place to be!

Review for top right fur avenue m

First off I would like to say the location was key for us because of our itinerary. It was clean and spacious and loved the floor plan. The fact that it’s historical made it that much more fun I told the kids that it was haunted and if they kept running around it would weaken the spirits. It was a full proof plan and it worked. I’d highly recommend Gareth with any of his properties and I will be a returning customer. Thank you

Fantastic stay!

We had the upper left flat of the house for a family of four. Two adults and two kids. Flat would even be good for six adults. Kitchen is well equipped and living room spacious with superb TV. The location is absolutely great for some days at the beach. It‘s Just a few blocks down the road. We had our morning coffee on the balcony and food at Sonnys Just around the corner. Definetely recomment this place for a stay in Galveston.

Great Experience!

The property was perfect for our needs. Everything was clean and organized. Our only complaint is that the unit only had one tv and this was only an issue due to traveling with kids. Otherwise, we had a very pleasant experience.

Good location in historic area!

We rented Top Right Ave M over a long weekend in October. The location was great - we could walk to coffee/breakfast in the morning, took walks in the evenings through the historic neighborhood, and we took quick drives to the beach. The house was clean, and we loved having a yard for the dog. It was very “no frills” - not much in the way of decor or “homeyness” and the bedding in the master wasn’t great. Almost like they used twin blankets and coverlet for a queen bed, so my husband and I were playing tug of war all night. But all in all, a good value for area.

Dylan A., Stillwater, Oklahoma

Disliked: Communication

Unprofessional communication

I booked the property thinking I had booked two nights, however, the confirmation email had only one night listed. Not sure how that happened, but it was a mistake and I tried to cancel within 10 minutes of booking. The property manager would not let me cancel and would not offer a refund despite my polite explanation of the situation. I would not recommend working with Gareth, he is not trustworthy. If other options are available, please consider those.

Great vacations

We really enjoyed ourselves at this property. The condo is very clean and cozy. Our duplex host went over and beyond to make our stay comfortable. She sent all the check-in directions and information ahead of time, so that we didn't have to scramble the day of our stay. I really like that I could check-in at 4:00pm and check out at 11:00am (this really helps with traffic coming to I would stay again with my family and friends and of course with our dogs
