Stepping straight onto historic Strand Street from the large wooden doors, The Market Street Flat welcomes you into Galveston's vibrant charm. This loft-style unit boasts a perfect layout for fun and relaxation.
As you enter, a dedicated game room filled with arcade games, a foosball table, and comfy seating beckons for some friendly competition or a relaxing social hour. French doors lead you into the heart of the loft, where a light-filled living area with a flat screen TV provides a perfect spot to unwind after a day of exploration. The adjoining galley kitchen is well-equipped for whipping up meals, and continues the flow towards the private quarters.
Two comfortable bedrooms offer restful nights for your group. One bedroom features a king-sized bed, ideal for couples, while the other boasts a unique triple bunk bed (twin, full, full) – perfect for families or friends traveling together. A full bathroom completes the convenient layout. To top it all off, a private back patio with a fire pit beckons for cozy evenings under the stars.
