Guest access
Please note that there is a separate free-standing home also located on the property- The garage (with access to the washer and dryer) is shared.

Other things to note
Regarding your pets, we are also dog-owners and dog-lovers, and understand how nice it is to have your four-legged family members welcome, too.

We appreciate the La Quinta policy- all breeds, all sizes, no charges. We have tried to adopt the same policy, and ask that you help us maintain it by:
(1) ensuring your pets are flea-free,
(2) ensuring pets are up-to-date on vaccines,
(3) keeping the property in good shape, trying to keep the effects of shed to a minimum (i.e. no shedding pets on the sofa/bed if possible),
(4) cleaning up poo,
(5) respecting other guests that may be staying in the front house, and please
(6) do not leave dogs that cannot be left alone, do not bring dogs that must be crated unless you bring a crate or dogs that have aggression issues unless you will be with them at all times when others are present.

IF YOU WANT TO BRING YOUR PET(S) WITH YOU, YOU MUST TELL US WHEN YOU BOOK. We need to let our cleaning service know. If you do not, EXTRA FEES WILL APPLY.

Across the street(ish) from Queen's BBQ, a 2 blocks to Brick House Tavern & Tap and Joe's Crab Shack. Not a fan of the National Chains? Not a problem, we love our local restaurants and bars too! Gumbo diner, Bronco Burritos, SHRIMP n' STUFF!!! All so close. With all the delicious seafood, how will you chose! And, of course, the MAIN attraction, the beach is a short 2 blocks where you can get your sun on and ride bikes along the seawall for some breathtaking views (and STELLAR people watching!!!) The Historic Galveston Island Pleasure Pier is less than a 1 mile away (a SUPER easy bike ride), and the Historic Strand (2.3 miles) for more delicious dining options and CANDY at La King's! The Galveston cruise terminal is less than 3 miles and Schlitterban/Moody Gardens, as is less than 4 miles away. Pro-Insider tip, for a good free time with your family, take a ride (in your car, or on a bike) out to the ferry terminal to Port Boliver in the evenings and take a free ferry ride (15 minutes each direction) over (and back) and watch the dolphins jumping up and around the bay. The kids will love it.

There is private gated parking available for free off back ally of house. Parking is a tight fit for larger vehicles, and you may need to park on the street in front of the house if your large vehicle won't make the turning radius. There are a variety of bicycle sizes for you to use in the garage, and you're welcome to store your own bikes in the garage. Galveston has spent a significant amount of time and money putting in easy to use bike paths throughout the East end making it very bike-friendly. It's often quicker to get around on foot/bike than it is to get stuck in your car on the seawall. Plus, your body and earth will thank you!!!

About the area

Galveston

Located in Midtown, a neighbourhood in Galveston, this apartment is near theme parks and near the beach. Port of Galveston Cruise Terminal and Port of Galveston are worth checking out if an activity is on the agenda, while those wishing to experience the area's natural beauty can explore Galveston Island Beaches and Crystal Beach. Galveston Island Historic Pleasure Pier and Galveston Schlitterbahn Waterpark are not to be missed. Scuba diving and snorkelling offer great chances to get out on the surrounding water, or you can seek out an adventure with hiking and cycling nearby.

It was a nice, comfortable apartment. I appreciated the little extras in the garage below the apartment. There were beach toys, boogie boards, beach chairs and mats and even a wagon to haul it all to the beach. It was also an easy walk to the beach with restaurants also close by. All in all it was a great location. I loved the renovation they did to the apartment. There was a nice fenced yard that dogs could run around in and a hose available to rinse off sand from the beach. The host checked in on us the first day to make sure everything was okay which was appreciated.

Host was great! Great communication, and the house was clean and cute and so close to the pier. It was really nice to have a space for my dogs in the backyard and it was fenced in nicely so the little dogs cant get out. Thanks again, will stay again on the next trip before our cruise!

Great location to food and fun. Frederick was extremely responsive - we couldn't have asked for a faster response. We did find using the key instead of electronic keypad was easier, but that is a personal preference. Lots of beach supplies in the garage to borrow. Bring your own beach towels, which is reasonable. Say hello to the alley cats, they are the welcoming committee. Thanks for letting us stay at your home.
