This property was beyond what pictures and description say. We loved our stay at this location. The kitchen had everything we needed and the property was well thought out what you may need when staying here. Whenever we return to Galveston, this will be where we stay.

Great place

My family of 4 (parents and 2 boys; 7 and 8) really enjoyed our stay here. The house is clean and inviting. We were so grateful for the beach supplies (chairs, boogie boards, etc) so we didn't have to buy or pack those. The bed were comfy and the kitchen had everything we needed. Our only negative was the surrounding neighborhood isn't the greatest. However, it is centrally located on the island, so it was easy to get everywhere quickly.

You Won't Be Disappointed

This is a a great property. Easy to get to. close to everything. Everything needed for a great vacation. We only stayed two days as we were attending Mardi Gras but could see where longer would be easy. Updated and clean. I particularly liked the parking in the back. It is in the back yard and you have open the gates from the inside but it keeps your car off the street. Would stay here again in a heart beat, Thank you Kim and Shea for an enjoyable stay!

About the host

Hosted by Shea & Kim

Host profile image
We are a mom and son team from Dripping Springs, Texas. We fell in love with the charm of Galveston on our many visits over the past ten years. Shea purchased this lovely home to be near the beach while working remotely during Covid. Now that it's time for him to head back into the office, we decided to share this wonderful treasure with others who are visiting Galveston.

Why they chose this property

This home is cute and quaint with added Galveston charm. It's a short 5 minute drive to everything Galveston has to offer such as the beach, Sea Wall, The Strand, Moody Gardens, Golf, and Schlitterbahn. Plus we've included everything you need make you feel like you're at home. This includes 5 star beds and linens, warm and inviting decor, cable TV and an ultra comfy sectional couch.

What makes this property unique

Gated parking in back for two cars. Our unique fish art on the wall which was created by a local artist. It's a one of a kind that every guest enjoys!
