About this property

Lux 2/1 -Steps 2 BEACH! Huge Living Room ☆ Self Check in ☆ Bikes ☆Grill

Welcome to your private 2 bedroom that is steps to the beach, in a cute, safe, and quiet neighborhood! Completely remodeled, separate and private lower level of the house. Tall ceilings, big windows, luxury linens, HVAC system, Wi-Fi, new mattresses, pots/pans, patio, grill, two bikes, etc.

The Salt Water Retreat is a first floor 2 bedroom 1 bath duplex that is located three blocks from the seawall in a great neighborhood. We completely remodeled this house but kept the charm of the 1900 house intact, just modernized.
We keep our rates really low but will ask about yourself and your visit. We love this house and we maintain it and clean it as it is near and dear to our hearts. We want guests that will treat it with the respect it deserves.

BEDS:
1st Bedroom: 1 queen bed.
2nd Bedroom: 2 twins

The SWH has a beautiful queen bedroom with a new pillow-top mattress and hotel quality sheets. The seaside room has two new cherry sleigh beds with new mattresses and luxury bedding.

BATH:
The bathroom is gorgeous and has a large shower with a rain head fixture that is set high for our taller guests. There is a cute window located above the shower to let in natural light. The towels are luxury hotel grade.

KITCHEN:
The kitchen is one of my favorite rooms with generous counter space and a full sink, oven and fridge; it's color scheme is bright and airy and the granite counters and tile floor are easy to care for. There is a long breakfast bar, a pretty chandelier and half shutters to let in the natural light.

LIVING ROOM/DINING SPACE:
The living room has a new sofa and three new chairs. We have a 55" inch flatscreen tv in the living room with Apple TV (streaming netflix and hulu). There is a small patio area upon entering the house that you can use; it has a table and several chairs with many plants and flowers.

There is parking for two cars on the street. For our guests comfort and because there are already dogs on the property we do not allow any pets in this rental.

A wonderful alternative to a hotel with all the luxuries of home.

Fantastic place to stay for a weekend trip to Galveston. A couple of blocks from the seawall, close to the strand, quiet area yet close to a lot of activities. As for the unit itself- beautiful two bedroom/one bath in immaculate condition.

Enjoyable Stay
Home was clean and spacious. Great neighborhood, close to the beach and popular tourist sites. Only concern was visiting family were not able to come into the home. Understandable due to insurance purposes but was disappointing since the point if our vacation was to spend more family time together. Would have been helpful to know this fact in advance. Owners were pleasant and cordial.

Great rental for a beach getaway. Property is updated and very clean. My teens appreciated having 2 beds in the 2nd bedroom. It is within a short walk to the beach and restaurants. Ruth communicated well and was always responsive to questions. We would definitely stay here again.

First class retreat
Far exceeds expectations, beautifully updated and furnished with excellent taste. owners are gracious and provide all that is needed to make your stay comfortable. There was a communication issue relative to not acquiring access information thru cell phone or email that was on our cell phone access. VRBO inquired for cell but owners were calling our landline after we left.

Great location!
We stayed at the Saltwater House for 4 days and had a great time. The location was close to the beach, many many restaurants, and a short drive to other areas like the Historic Downtown Strand. The house was very clean and well stocked with with pots, pans, dishes..etc..We had my mother who is in her 70's and my daughter who is 5 and everyone loved our stayed. I especially enjoyed riding the bikes up to the Seawall in the evening and hitting some shops or having a drink along the way. Thank you for am excellent visit to Galveston.
