Pros: Very nice apartment. Wonderful host. Fantastic location. Whole third floor, 14 foot ceilings.Only con: only accessible by stairs. Not a problem for us, but if someone in your group has mobility issues this could be a problem
This place is beautiful and so convent to the Strand and downtown activities. Joanne and Brian are truly super host. I’ll be back next year if not sooner.
Beautiful flat, in the perfect location…easy walking to shopping and great restaurants. Joanna and Brian were the best hosts, greeting us warmly upon arrival, ensuring we had everything we needed, and even seeing us off at checkout. We will definitely look to book again!
Beautiful restored loft with everything you need. Joanna and Brian were great hosts! Great location to walk to everything the Strand/Downtown has to offer. Will definitely be back!
This is a very cool loft which is conveniently located a block off The Strand. Friendly hosts greeted us and helped us with our luggage upon arrival. I would highly recommend this wonderful place!
Came down for Mardi Gras and all we can say is WOW!! We highly recommend this property and had an amazing time! The owners are awesome as is the location! Everything you need is right there. I will definitely be back in the future!
Joanna & Brian are two absolutely wonderful people who welcome you into their historic property with ecstatic genuine SS & hospitality.
Property is wonderfully situated near The Strand & a fantastic experience.
Will definitely stay there again and we knew the property is not child friendly and that factor was not an issue for our visit.
We had a perfect 3 days at the loft. We could walk to all the bars, restaurants, and shopping on the Strand side of Galveston. The loft is beautiful and has a fun rich history. We were very comfortable and cozy. The hosts are so friendly and hospitable. It is the PERFECT downtown Galveston accommodation for a couple or a few girlfriends. We all have plans to come back! Thanks Brian and Joanna!!
We had an amazing time here. It started with the warmest greeting from the owners. They truly make you feel at home. The place had so much history and charm that fits with the old town Galveston feel. You can’t beat the location either, 1 block off the heart of the strand. If you are looking to see a different side of Galveston than the beach, you won’t be disappointed with Whiteside Flats. Thanks Brian and Joanna Sharing your place with us.
From check in to check out, everything was fabulous! The attention to detail was everything! From cable tv, soft toilet paper, superb linens and comfortable beds and sofas, this was just the beginning of our wonderful experience. The host went out of her way to provide snacks and drinks, full coffee bar and discounts to restaurants! If you do not know the Galveston area, this is THE BEST LOCATION you can get! It’s in the heart of the festivals, restaurants, shopping and you can hear and see the cruise ships come and go! I can not wait to stay here again!
The owner’s pride in this property is obvious in their attention to detail throughout! The flat was better than described. Loved the character of the building. Convenient to shops, restaurants and sightseeing. Parking provided which is huge in downtown Galveston. We were welcomed personally by the owners, enjoyed learning the history of the building and extremely appreciated the yummy snacks and plenty of cold water….a necessity in Galveston in the summer! We would love to return to this property soon.
Hosts Joanna and Brian were the best hosts, they reached out several times before stay to offer suggestions. They left snacks, wine, bottled water and fully stocked coffee bar. They went above and beyond. The property is the perfect location in downtown, we were able to walk everywhere. We will definitely stay again.
We stayed 3 nights over Spring Break. The loft was wonderful. Loved the location and the building itself. We will definitely add to our list of favorites.
This place is phenomenal! The location. The decor. The hospitality is over the top! Joanna and Brian take care of all the details. No stone left unturned here. My favorite VRBO to date!
We loved our stay at this flat! Beautifully decorated. The owners are so accommodating. The history of the building is amazing and they have several articles about the building. I highly recommend.
The loft was beyond our expectations. It was located right off the strand. The loft itself was very comfortable and well appointed. It truly reflected the historic and artistic nature of Galveston.
The hosts were nicest people who went out of their way to make our stay a great one

About the host
Hosted by Joanna Yates
My husband Brian is a real estate developer and broker and I am a writer and now "the hostess with the mostest" . We both love to entertain and have hosted and chaired many parties and events over the years. Whiteside Town Flats gives us the opportunity to host and meet amazing folks from all walks of life. It is a privilege for us to share our building.
Why they chose this property
We have always loved this building as it has been in our family for over 20 years. We bought it from Brian's parents in 2009 and have not looked back.
What makes this property unique
Whiteside Town Flats is an incredible building. Everyone who enters tells us that they feel something truly special that is very hard to explain. There is a quiet about the building that is comforting even though we are literally in the middle of all the action in downtown Galveston.
