About this property

SunnyG Get Away - Private Pool - Walk to Pleasure Pier

Its Island Time at the SunnyG Get Away. You are right in the middle of everything with the Seawall and Pleasure Pier an easy walk 1 1/2 blocks away. Spend the day at the beach splashing in the water and building sandcastles on the beach. For a little shade, picnic under the pier - so easy. Take a walk on the Seawall and stroll over to Murdochs for a little shopping and rocking chair action.

Wet your appetite at Fish Tales, Bubba Gumps, Chick Fil A, BLVD Seafood, Fish Company Tacos or Wendys - all in walking distance. Catch a ride on the trolley down to the Strand or to Moody Gardens. The Cruise Terminal is right down the street. Children and teens will enjoy Menard Park with a playground, basketball and skate park also in walking distance.

The SunnyG Get Away is a 1912 grand ole house that is completely and beautifully updated and furnished. The 3/4 bedroom, 2 1/2 bath house sleeps 12. The three upstairs bedrooms include a master with a queen size bed and 1/2 bath attached. Another very large bedroom sleeps 4 on 2 queen beds. Also upstairs is a double bunk room that sleeps 4. These rooms share a full bath. The very large dining room downstairs houses a queen size Murphy bed. Big pocket doors give privacy and easy convenience to the full bath downstairs make this a good room to double as our 4th bedroom.

There is plenty of room to hang out with family and friends inside and out. Relax out on the big front porch and view all the great Galveston events that pass right down the street. We are right on the Mardi Gras parade route. Sit on the big front porch, watch the marching bands and floats go by and catch plenty of beads!

The best kept secret is the lovely entertaining space in the backyard complete with a garden pool and outdoor kitchen. The 4' deep pool has a tanning ledge and sitting ledge designed for socializing. Hang out and enjoy the water features and color changing light.

Let the chef in the group cook a family meal on the great outdoor kitchen while everyone relaxes under the covered pergola. (Propane provided)

Everything you need will be at your fingertips from a fully stocked kitchen to linens, bath and beach towels and beach and pool toys.

Parking is no problem here. We can accommodate 4-5 vehicles with parking in front of the house and in the driveway. Parking permits are provided for street parking.

Our family loves our old house with its original wood floors. We ask our guests to please honor this home by not leaving wet towels or ice chests on the wood. Don't have glass in the pool, pick up your trash, rinse off the sand before entering, rinse and put up beach toys, don't mess with the pool equipment, lock up the house when you leave - just treat it as your own home. We hope that many families will experience a great time at our home.

There is so much to do in Galveston. We are always discovering something new. With its great location and awesome amenities, the SunnyG Get Away can be your escape from the big city for some Sweet Island Time!

Family Getaway

We were able to use this beautiful house for a multi-family weekend getaway in Galveston. It was the perfect place with a great kitchen for making meals, plenty of rooms and beds for everyone, and a nice little pool to hang out in when we were not at the beach - which was only about a 5 minute walk from the house.

Beautiful house and great location

Four of my girlfriends and I stayed here to celebrate my 50th birthday. The house was beautiful, comfortable, and in a great location. We were able to walk to Pleasure Pier, restaurants on sea wall, and was close to the trolley stop to take us around the island. It was a fun and memorable stay. I’d definitely stay there again!

Best place to stay near the Pleasure Pier

This is the 2nd time my family has stayed at this property. We absolutely love it. 5 min walk to restaurants as well as the pleasure pier. The pool makes it great for the kids. There were plenty of supplies for all our families needs as well.

Wonderful property

We loved this property- this is a must with kiddos. Short walk to pleasure pier, fish tails and the trolly. The pool is perfect for small kiddos as it’s pretty shallow. The owners quickly respond to any questions. We would love to stay here again soon.

Perfect home for Girls Weekend

SunnyG is a delightful home in a great location! We have 6 women that vacation in Galveston annually for a weekend of food and fellowship, and we love SunnyG. The layout for the rooms, the bonus bed on the first floor, the sitting area on the porch, the patio with the pergola - and of course the lovely pool all make for a relaxing, fun weekend. Thanks for allowing us the use of your little gem of a home - we'll be back!

Family vacation

The house was very nice. There was plenty of space for four adults and three small kids. We enjoyed being close to restaurants and activities like the beach and Pleasure Pier. Pool was perfect for our family with three young kids. A few of the properties around the house aren’t as nice but we didn’t have any issues. You could hear some street traffic from the bedrooms but nothing that kept us awake. Overall it was a nice stay.

Best of Both Worlds

The house was amazing! Management/Denise was superfast with responses and the house was amazing inside and out! All the amenities were there for both the pool and beach if needed. Grill was fantastic, and everyone kept talking about the pool! The whole house was spacious and I could not get over how SOLID the floors, stairs and structure of the home was for a century old home... Just beautiful. Minutes away from the beach, shopping and restaurants. Walk out of the house, go right, you hit the beach, go left and you are just minutes away from the Strand by car. We have stayed at other locations on Galveston Island (Jamaica Beach), but this by far has been the best. We will be back!

Beautiful old historic home, perfect for my grandkids to spent their summer vacation with us.

The place was just right for us, walking distance to the beach, the pleasure pier, restaurants and souvenir shop. My family were an hour early, and Jim and Denise were prompt to reply to us when we asked if we can have an early check-in. The beautiful historic home was a wonderful treat to spend time with grandkids. They really enjoyed the pool while my husband get to grill hamburgers and meat in the patio. The house was furnished with the necessities. The breakfast nook was perfect for playing dominoes and cards. Love the place. Thank you for letting us stay at your gorgeous place. Definitely, worth recommending to my friends and family.

Beautiful well built home wonderful owners!!

We survived hurricane Beryl in this house. We did not experience any flooding and we were well protected. Having the beautiful pool was a great relief since power was lost after the storm. Storm aside we enjoyed our stay in this house. It's walking distance to the beach, Pleasure Pier and lots of restaurants. The beds were super comfortable A/C worked great before we lost power. We had the pleasure of meeting Denise & Jim when they stopped by to check the damage from the storm. There was a water main break under the house that we were not aware of and they got it fixed ASAP. They are wonderful people and great hosts it was very nice meeting them. Highly recommend staying at this property.

About the host

Hosted by Denise & Jim

Host profile image
As Air Force brats, moving to different cities was just a part of life. As a matter of fact, while I was born in Florida, Jim was born in California. When we were stationed in Hawaii, Jim's family was stationed in Alaska. Somehow we both landed in Biloxi, Mississippi and began our lives together. We love to vacation and have traveled many places around the world. What fun to experience the unique customs, local food, art, music, and the people. There is nothing better than discovering what makes a place so special.

Why they chose this property

Galveston has been the go-to place since the late 19th century. Experience its history, charm and relaxed way of life from the Historic Strand District to the beautiful beach front.

What makes this property unique
