About the host
Hosted by Carol and Ron Chavez
We came to Galveston in 2016 for a vacation and fell in love with this beautiful island and the feel of "life on a Sand Bar". We were blessed to be able to purchase this beautiful Coastal Cottage in 2016. This is a 1913 Coastal Beach Cottage decorated in a colorful beach style. The wood floors are original 1913 oak wood. Our home has definitely passed the test of time! The home was purchased from a decedent of the original builders. There is deep and extensive history in Galveston to explore and our home is just a small part of that history. There are several Ghost tours in Galveston, and some will go to the 1900 storm Cemeteries. There is Galveston Historical Society Museum on Pier 21. We are grandparents to 5 wonderful grandchildren. We both love living life and relaxing on the island. We love our beautiful beach home and this neighborhood, and we hope you will as well. We are retired, live close and are always available if the need arises.
Why they chose this property
Once you drive up, you'll be thrilled that you chose our home for your vacation. It is the cutest yellow Coastal Beach Cottage with tropical landscaping including Lantana, Mexican Petunias, Mediterranean & Mexican Fan Palms and a Butterfly Bush. There is sidewalk from the curb all the way to the front porch. The neighborhood is quiet, friendly and right in the middle of Seawall Blvd. The home is only 1 short block to the Seawall and the beach. Another wonderful treat is, walking to the beach to watch the sunrise. It's one of our favorite highlights! You can also take your fur babies with you to the beach in the early morning and roam the quiet and serene beach to look for shells or just enjoy the beauty. "The Spot” is also only 1 block from our home and is a fun place to hang out. There is a restaurant, Tiki Bar, three more themed venues, bakery, ice cream parlor. You can leave your car at the home and walk. Pleasure Pier is a short walk of 7/10th of a mile. There are amusement park rides as well as shopping and Bubba Gump's Seafood and Shrimp Co and Fish Tales across the Street.
What makes this property unique
One of our favorite parts of this home is the large front porch. There is nothing better than sitting on the front porch and feeling the breezes from the Gulf. In the mornings, you can hear the waves as you enjoy morning coffee! You can also hear the waves in the evening from the front porch. If the front porch wasn't enough, the backyard is another breathtaking feature of our home. Sitting in the conversation area under the Pergola and grilling on the propane grill are wonderful ways to end your day at the beach. The home has a complete privacy fenced backyard as well as the side yards. Plenty of room for children and/or dogs to safely roam and play. There is also an outdoor shower with hot and cold water and a sprayer. You will feel like you are in a sanctuary!
