Guests are free to roam the 1/2 acre property. There is a cat named Missy-ann and our Boston Terrier named Spotallen on the property. Along with our 8 Koi fish and chickens. Yes, chickens, are located at the far end of the pool. You won't really know they are there unless you hear them or look for them.

I really was pleased with the apartment itself. It was nice, clean, and cozy. It’s located in a nice and quiet neighborhood and it really enhanced our get away and gave us a chance to have a good and peaceful stay.
I went to Galveston with my mom for a quick get away. It was very nice. Our place was clean, quiet, and very relaxing. The owners were friendly and helpful. We will come back.
The property was kept up well and in a nice location close to the beach. We absolutely loved the owners dog “Spot” and were delighted when he greeted us on multiple occasions. We were very pleased with our stay.
My wife and I stayed a couple of days, after coming in town for the rodeo. This cute place was very central. Host were very nice and friendly, as were their pets. We would definitely stay here again
Beautiful grounds, pool area was nice and inviting. Location was great - nice neighborhood, close enough to everything but out of the way of the crowds. Everything you need for a quiet escape!
What a wonderful little place. Owners are polite and responsive and the little apartment was perfect for our stay. Very clean , very comfortable!! 5 stars
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Seahorse. The property was quaint and full of character. Access to the pool was a huge plus.

About the host
Hosted by Ross and Richard
We have lived in Galveston since 2007 but had properties here since 2001. We decided to offer a private apt in the lower part of our house. Friends have said we have a wonderful property and should share it with guests. So we are. We've created and cozy apt for guests and we hope you all will enjoy it.
