About this property
Home on the Isle - Dog Friendly!
Our home is a beautifully cozy 1940s Craftsman located just minutes from all the best that Galveston has to offer. A few blocks drive to both the Strand and Seawall, this home boasts multiple modern upgrades while maintaining much of its historic charm, such as portions of the original cabinetry, hardwood floors, and interior doors with glass door knobs.
When you aren't out enjoying all the sights on the island, kick back and relax in the cozy living room and watch your favorite show on the 58 inch cable TV. The updated eat-in kitchen is beyond bright and spacious and stocked with all the amenities of home, including a dishwasher and garbage disposal. The adjacent formal dining room seats an additional six, perfect for hosting family gatherings! The built-in hallway cabinet contains games and puzzles for family entertainment.
Bedroom 1 features a queen-sized bed with a set of twin bunks, complete with a nightstand, chest of drawers and a 32 inch Smart TV. Please note top bunk weight limit is 150 pounds. Bedroom 2 features a king-sized bed, nightstand, chest of drawers, 36 inch Smart TV and full-sized dresser and mirror (not pictured). Both bedrooms are equipped with a closet. An additional twin bed is located in the sunroom off of the kitchen.
The bathroom yields tons of storage space and is where you will find both bath linens and beach towels, a hair dryer, extra toilet paper, and a first aid kit. Multiple drawers are available for storing your personal items out-of-sight.
The large, private fenced backyard is perfect for those who enjoy outdoor entertaining and/or travelling with their dogs. Tons of room for both kids and pets to run and play. After a day at the beach, relax and enjoy a cold beverage on the huge covered back porch under the patio lights, all while watching the game on the outdoor TV! Dine at the outdoor table when the weather is pleasant. Laundry facilities and supplies are accessible to guests and located in the garage, as are beach items such as boogie boards and extra chairs, outdoor table umbrella, etc. This area is also perfect for storing empty coolers or hanging up sandy beach towels. There is also a new outdoor shower. Pet waste bag dispenser and bags provided at laundry entrance, we do respectfully ask that you clean up after your dog.
Bachelor and bachelorette parties are not permitted. Day guests are not permitted without obtaining owner's permission. Renter must provide names and ages of everyone in their party, and primary renter must be one of them. We cannot accept bookings longer than 14 days. Please note there is one outdoor security camera at front entrance for the safety of guests. ***WE ONLY ACCEPT DOGS (UP TO 2) WITH A $75.00 FEE, SEE RULES, ENSURE YOU REGISTER YOUR DOGS ON THE RESERVATION. YOU MUST SELECT PET-FRIENDLY AS A SEARCH OPTION FILTER TO BE AUTOMATICALLY CHARGED THE PET FEE. UNDISCLOSED PETS/PETS NOT ON RESERVATION WILL BE CHARGED $75.00. NO EXCEPTIONS***

About the host
Hosted by Kelly Davis
I am a native Houstonian and started coming to Galveston as a kid, then as a teenager. There is always something to do here, even if it's just walking the dog on the beach at sunset. My husband and I have a daughter, a tweenager, who loves going to Pleasure Pier and Moody Gardens and doing fun things like Magic Carpet Golf, the 4-D theater, ghost tours, and experiencing the multitude of events that go on here on the island. We also have a very special Bernese Mountain Dog named Leia who lives for romping on the beach and catching beads during Mardi Gras parades. One thing we truly love about Galveston is the fascinating albeit tragic history of the town, and it's resiliency; the stories are both chilling and inspiring. There are also so many fantastic restaurants to enjoy, in particular for seafood lovers which we are! After multiple stays at other VRBO properties, all of which were admittedly great experiences, we were fortunate to have the means to purchase our own place in Galveston. Even though our real "home" is relatively close-by, coming here always feels like a real island vacation escape. Ultimately when we retire we hope to be full-time islanders. We are beyond pleased to share our home with you and hope you love it as much as we do.
Why they chose this property
We looked at quite a few homes, but none we felt were remotely as nice as this one. We loved that it was updated yet many original features remain intact, like one bank of kitchen cabinetry and those quirky glass door knobs. The ceilings in some rooms are truly eye-catching - the dining room, kitchen, and rear sunroom all have unique and beautiful ceilings. The street itself is quite pretty being lined with big old trees. Having a big fenced backyard like ours, along with a big covered back porch, isn't exactly common here, and we spend a lot of time outside when the weather is warm. While we aren't located "on the beach" we can be there in five minutes, or anywhere else on the island for that matter, and we have not regretted choosing this location one bit!
What makes this property unique
Centrally located on the island; blocks from the beach and Pleasure Pier and minutes from the Strand
Plenty of indoor and outdoor space for entertaining
Yard is ideal for pets and kids
1,300 square feet of living space equals lots of room and doesn't feel crowded, even with a full house when all beds are occupied!
