We loved the private entrance and the cozy and quiet apartment. We also loved it was walkable to the beach/seawall and some of our favorite places to eat and drink on the island. We didn't bring our dog this time but we loved that we could if we wanted to. We would definitely stay here again.

Great place to stay!

This is a really cute detached above garage apartment all to yourself. It has a very quite fenced in backyard perfect for our dog. You can park your car in a gated area. You can see part of the ocean from the window and is a very short walk to the beach and all the hotspots on Seawall!

Great "tiny" house/apartment

This property is near the beach--2 blocks and you can see the water from the upstairs window. It was very clean and had all necessary amenities. It has 15 steps going up the stairs, which will be okay for the younger set! :) I'm older and so was my dog, so we made sure we wanted to be either up or down!

Studio sized - very nice

We had a late change in plans for a previously planned trip that got cancelled and had to pivot and make new plans. This place popped up in our price range. Its a Small studio sized above garage apartment with a private entrance. Room for two adults and a child at most. Very clean and quiet with a very comfortable queen bed, couch, TV, and kitchen area in one space. Small but very comfortable. We didn't need much as we were out most of the time anyway. The smaller efficiency fridge held all we needed and more. Coffee K cups were provided for us. Simple but nice touch as we like coffee. Little soaps and shampoo added to the attentiveness of these folks. The AC Unit was great because even though the weather was pleasant for us, I am sure it can get pretty warm for an upstairs unit during warmer weather when AC is a must. It is about 5 blocks from the beach to Seawall Blvd. We could actually see it from the main window. There was a small private parking area in the back alley. Perfect for us as we were on the motorcycle. Communication and check-in were easy, and owner was prompt with clear instructions and directions to the unit. Hidden gem. Definitely keeping this on the list for our trip next year.

I was very pleased. It was cosy, clean and just the right distance from the beach. The price was very reasonable. There was a little stovetop that was very useful. The host had provided cookware to use. We plan to visit next October if she is still the owner. Our little dogs loved her yard.

About the host

Hosted by Cynthia Darwin, Owner/Manager

Host profile image
We have been short term rental property owners and managers for over 10 years. For this apartment, we live in the front house and are readily available to you. However, our many guests let us know they truly enjoy the privacy we afford our guests, while also being ready with information or help.

Why they chose this property

"Close to everything" is what our guests say in their reviews. With a private parking entrance and yard, guests have a short stroll to many of Galveston's visitor amenities, including The Spot restaurant, the Pleasure Pier, many Seawall restaurants and bars, as well as the beach itself. And only minutes to the downtown Strand and galleries, or to the Moody Gardens. Pets like the backyard. Guests like the outdoor shower after beachtime. The studio apartment is small, but well arranged so guests can sleep, cook, eat, watch TV, work on the computer or just relax. The outside deck with chairs under the trees make the stay a perfect spot for book readers or nature lovers.
