About the host
Hosted by Miguel or Alejandro (Father and son)
Texas Owners! We are a few friends who came together to own an incredible home in a place we love to spend time in with our families and are now sharing it with you! When the property is not used by one of us, we open it up for others to enjoy. We truly hope you see the beauty in the home as we do!
Why they chose this property
This home is one of a few who survived the infamous 1900 Galveston Hurricane. Still considered one of worst natural disasters in history. It is a Historical Landmark that has been remodeled with modern amenities for all to enjoy. The home is centrally located to all destinations you would be interested in including the beach which is only 5 blocks away. There are only a few homes in Galveston that can hold up to 16 people in normal beds. We will not ask you to climb into a bunkbed. Most other large homes are located 30-40 minutes from where you want to be. Casa Galvez is truly one of a kind. The home offers you 6 bedrooms and 6 full baths. We have one bedroom with a kingsize temper-pedic mattress you will love to sleep on. Three bedrooms have a queen size bed you can cozy onto. One bedroom offers two queen beds for your comfort and ideal for parents with small children. The last bedroom is located in the front of house by the large porch and it has two full beds. The back patio is simply AMAZING. The large patio is shaded by a large Pecan Tree. Has outdoor seating and a BBQ Shack and Bar you will love to use. We LOVE our home and hope you do too.
