The resort features the widest, most beautiful beaches in Galveston as well as the beach club swimming pools and hot tub facing the beach, a fitness center, game room, corn hole and gift shop.

A basketball court is a short walk or quick golf card ride past the beach club. A short ride to the bay side allows you to visit another pool, lazy river and hot tub.

Please be aware that we do allow guests to bring dogs (2 or less of any size) and we have dogs of our own that occasionally come to the home so if you have severe pet allergies please take note.

We have a security system with a doorbell camera at the front entrance. There are 2 other exterior cameras on the property that are not monitored.

Wildlife Warnings – Tranquil Turtle is located in one of the most beautiful and natural settings in Texas. This nature includes bugs and insects big and small, animals, crabs, sharks, bees, rattlesnakes and more. We have pest control and set rattlesnake traps on the perimeter of the property. Occasionally, however, nature will enter the Tranquil Turtle and should not be cause for alarm. If you have any issue with pests, please contact us immediately.

About the host

Hosted by Kristen Cummings

Host profile image
We live in the Denver Metro area with our daughter (9) and son (7). Between my husband and I we have lived in states coast to coast and a handful in between. We love to travel and after many years of only booking through vacation rental sites for our travels we decided to embark on the journey of vacation rental ownership ourselves. Being in a landlocked state we were in search of a property near the water. We fell in love with the house and how peaceful it felt and that we could bring family and friends to spend time with us. We have enjoyed visiting Galveston soaking in the sun, fishing in the Bay, exploring the history of the island and the thrills of the Iron Shark at Pleasure Pier. We hope that you find something new to try and that you will be back many times over.
