About this property

Galveston Escapes - Walk to Beach and Restaurants

The POWER is back - please book and Bring the whole family or come work remotely with a short walk to the Seawall Boulevard, and to the beach. The house is located just 3 small blocks from the seawall (0.24 mile), beach, and restaurants, and only 1 mile from Pleasure Pier. House has been renovated in the fall of 2022. With its central location, it is ideal for any outing on the island. Your pets are also welcome - we know they are part of the family. We invite you to stay and make memories that will last a lifetime!

IMPORTANT - if it is raining, please help us to protect the house: there are "sand socks" that are located by the front door on the bottom shelf. Please put them under the front door to prevent water from the outside leaking inside the house. The house is sloped so that the rain water may get in and the floor and rug in the living room would get wet. #galveston

Perfect for our stay before cruising

The family needed a place to stay close to the port for a cruise. The house was perfect for the 6 of us! It was well kept and roomy. The kitchen is beautiful. The beds were extremely comfortable. We would stay again for sure.

Hidden gem

This house is nestled in a quiet neighborhood but still close to our favorite restaurants. The open floor plan was great for my elderly parents. Plenty of seating and the bed in the master bedroom was one of the most comfortable I’ve ever slept on.

Overnight before cruise

This location was easy to get to. House was cute and functional. We encountered a couple issues while there. When came on a cold day and walked into the house and it was 56 degrees. Cleaning crew had just been there but didn't bother to turn heat on? Also the water was being weird. No hot water in the front two sinks. They sent a plumber to fix and he took care of the issue for us. I appreciate how quickly the owners responded and sent someone out. We would stay here again

I was very pleased with the home. Only 2 1/2 blocks from the beach. It's in the middle of everything. The host was very responsive to any requests. We had plenty of room for the kids. Too bad we couldn't stay longer to enjoy it more. Highly recommend this home!

Great Place

The location is very close to the sea wall/beach and many great restaurants. The street the house is on does have a lot of traffic, but that didn’t bother us, and we were able to find it easily enough. The house has been recently renovated and is very nice and comfortable. There are 3 bedrooms. 2 are very good sized with king beds. The third is smaller with a bunk bed, but even that bed is comfortable. The backyard is huge and a great place to hang out, but does get pretty dark at night. There is WiFi, and streaming TV. The kitchen is huge and has everything you need to feel at home. The owners also provided many other items, like a beach cart, beach towels, a grill (but we didn’t use it), and other items. We felt safe staying here, and had a great vacation. This was our first Vrbo, and it it was a great experience.

Wonderful!

We had a great stay in this close to the beach little dream house! It had everything we needed and it was so clean! The decorations were spot on for a beach trip! I would definitely rent from this host again as she was prompt in replies and even let us check in early! The house had everything we needed! Just a block or so down from the beach and to Guidos! No need to drive! Loved our time in Galveston!

Convenient Beach House

The house was well decorated had plenty of bed space and room for inflatable mattresses. Everything was clean, but there were some supplies missing (toliet paper, trash bags etc) so you may need to get extra supplies. Also there were a two roaches at the place. Aside from these issues, it's a decent stay for a group beach trip.

Mardi Gras 2023

Great location just minutes away from the strand! We came for Mardi Gras and it was the perfect spot. FYI it looks like the city of Galveston is doing some construction so the route to the house isn’t direct. Another result of the construction was the parking next to the street was very muddy and there was also a giant pipe in the front yard. Again no fault of the property owner just the way things are currently. We enjoyed our stay and would stay again next year.

Nice home in Galveston

Was very clean and more roomy than I expected. Modern appliances and decent furnishings. A couple of things out of service that could not be fixed due to it being a holiday weekend but we made lemonade out of lemons and enjoyed our time on the island. Neighbors had barking dogs (all night) and a lot of foot traffic up and down road at all hours. Great location near the Seawall though. Nice deck out back. Would stay there again!!!

Hidden Gem

This house is honestly in a perfect location, close enough to everything but also far enough to avoid the congestion and fallout from heavy traffic times and days. The pictures don't do justice to the actual space in the house, very roomy and perfectly equipped, I had to work this week and having 2 different desks with really good Wifi speeds was a big plus. Aside from some minor cosmetic issues from normal usage of the house everything was great. The only issues were not under the control of the hosts, the street construction was not an issue, only when I had to jump on conference calls for work. We will be back next summer

Summary

Upon arrival, the cleaning person was leaving; the front walkway was covered in broken glass and they failed to pick it up. Quickly discovered ants in the kitchen/dining room. Floor by kitchen sink was weak and you had to stand in it while using sink. Day 2 we found someone in the house, he was there to do an air inspection. Checked phone and found a text message from owner (been at beach all day and had phone in a bag) giving me a 30 minute notice of the inspection. I was told that this had been previously scheduled and couldn't be rescheduled. Meaning that I could have been told with more advance notice and had an opportunity to secure personal items inside the house. Attempted to wash some towels and found that the dryer was not working. Owner said they were waiting on warranty repair. Another thing I should have been told about in advance so I could have made other arrangements. Owner did offer to have cleaning person come get our clothes but never heard back to schedule a time for them to top by. I went to local washeteria. Just a few other things that were irritating: seen a roach in the kitchen and we were left with one trash bag for a 4 day trip with 8 people.
