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.

About the host

Hosted by Kelly Davis

Host profile image

I am a native Houstonian but am absolutely in love with Galevston. This is a true VRBO, it is our second home. The special touches and amenities you'll find are because we love this house and are here often, and we take care of it and our guests ourselves - 100%. We have been hosting for almost five years now, and we welcome you to enjoy this special place 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!
