We are "Islanders By Choice" and have lived here for over 20 years. We love Galveston and feel like you will too!!
Why they chose this property
We purchased this property after the infamous Hurricane Ike, planning on using it for a long-term rental. However a turn of events led our family to moving in and making it our permanent home in 2009. As our older children grew up and moved out we starting thinking about vacation rental potential and seeing what a blessing this home could be to other families and groups! With its convenient location to just about everything great that Galveston has to offer, yet with a homey feel that will make your vacation a special one!
