A Shore Thing

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

You'll find the sunny pleasures of Galveston awaiting in every direction at this single-story home, wonderfully situated less than a mile from the seawall and the beach. This is a place for swimming and surfing in the Gulf of Mexico by day and walking out to dinner each evening.

This home is located on the west side of the city, within walking or bike-riding distance of the beach to the south. You'll be equidistant from The Strand Historic District (less than three miles) to the east and both Moody Gardens and Schlitterbahn Waterpark to the west. The surrounding blocks are home to a number of great restaurants, casual eateries, and all sorts of conveniences as well.

Use the front steps to enter via the shaded front porch, a lovely spot to relax with your morning coffee and watch the neighborhood wake up. There's also an entry ramp in the fenced side yard, providing those with limited mobility an easier option.

The interior has been thoughtfully outfitted for a vacationing family, offering central air, a private laundry room, and an open layout that encourages time spent together. There's a well-equipped kitchen, a dining area for homemade dinners and evening board games, and a living room with a TV to screen your favorite movies. Additional features of the house include a primary suite with a TV, a kids' room that's paired with the guest bath, and high-speed WiFi.

Liked: Check-in
Comfortable enough
The house as a whole is okay. The size and layout is good for 1-4 people. The owners have stocked it all with nice furniture and all the things you need to stay comfortably. However... The neighborhood is iffy. The Wi-Fi didn't work, at all. Even after calling about it. There were dead (thankfully) roaches on the floor in every room, plus the kitchen counter and in the toilet. The front door locked us out and we had to call to get the key code and go around back in the dark to get in with a key. Thankfully that worked. There was lots of mail in the box outside and random stuff all over the side yard and the gate is in bad shape and was half open when we got there... It was just kind of weird and disorderly. Made me unsure of if what I would be walking into. Advice to others, don't close the front glass door when you leave. It WILL get caught on the main door combo lock. Prop it open and you'll be just fine.

A shore thing in Galveston Texas
The house is so cute and homey! We definitely loved the house. The beds were so comfortable. It was clean with almost everything we needed. There were no washcloths so we purchased some and left a few there. We could not figure out how to get the TVs to work. Major issue as my moms really wanted to rest with a movie when we went out without them. They entertained themselves with a puzzle that was there. Also left a new puzzle for future guests. We were able to check in early and when we had trouble with the code, Vacasa rep was very good at helping us get in. Will definitely stay here again! Nice back yard but no lawn furniture at all. Front porch small but nice with a small table and 2 chairs.
