Please let us know how many pets will be staying, 1-2 are okay but anymore than that we will have to consider.

Great location
My son and I came to visit my daughter for her birthday. The bedrooms are very large and the outdoor spaces are well maintained. The kitchen was well equipped. We cut our stay short due to the weather. Great location, although we didn’t go to the beach with all the rain that weekend. Absolutely a great value,!

Close to the beach but far enough away to be peaceful & pet friendly!
This was PERFECT for our family vacation! Exactly as described in the listing. Completely pet friendly with the fenced front and back yards. The yards are a bit small, but they were perfect for our 2 beagles. Would definitely stay here again!

Such a cute place!!!
First of all, the pictures do not do this place justice! My best friend and I brought our dog and 5 (total) kids ranging in age from 14 to 7, and we had a blast!! The house is in a great location, the neighborhood is very nice and well kept. The house does have a smaller living room, but the shotgun style makes it feel bigger. The beds were comfortable, and it was super clean. We would definitely rent this property again!

About the host

Hosted by Edgar Alcocer

Host profile image
Hello!
My wife and I are teachers living near NASA, we have a small family consisting of our daughter, 2 dogs, and a turtle. We love the beach and everything about it!

Why they chose this property

We always wanted a home in Galveston to enjoy the beach, when we don't use it we want others to enjoy the house just like we do. It's two blocks away from the beach, driving distance from theme parks in Galveston. Less than a mile away from Pleasure Pier.

What makes this property unique

It's really close to the beach, in fact everything seems close by just walking, there is also a bike rental store at the end of the street, fun for our family. It was a mess before, the house was hit badly when Hurricane Ike passed by but then it was for sale and we decided to buy and fix it up. As mentioned, everything is new since it's completely renovated.
