With a coveted location just four miles from Schlitterbahn Waterpark Galveston and Moody Gardens, and fantastic amenities that include a private dock and a spacious covered deck overlooking the water with Adirondack chairs, this home is waiting to help you start making beautiful new memories. The bright and open living room enjoys high, vaulted ceilings, a flatscreen TV, and lots of comfortable furniture, perfect for entertaining guests with a ballgame or your favorite Netflix movies, or for playing board games with the kids. The full kitchen has everything you need to get creative with tonight's home-cooked meal. The round dining table is great for inspiring intimate and lively conversation between your dinner guests. Use the private washer and dryer to take care of your dirty clothes after an afternoon on a hot-weather trail. This home has two bedrooms, one with a queen-size bed and a flatscreen TV, the other with a queen bed, a mounted flatscreen TV, and an en-suite bathroom. When you're not touring the fantastic nearby water parks, take the family boat out onto the water for an afternoon of fishing then come back to store it in the private boat slip which is also a perfect spot to catch the Moody Gardens fireworks!

You are right by the Moody Gardens Golf Course and The Pelican Grille, which are open to the public. You also have the ability to drive your boat across the bay to eat at Number 13 steakhouse which has boat parking available for its guests! You can fuel your boat at Pelican Rest Marina. Take the kids four miles east to visit Schlitterbahn Waterpark Galveston where they can enjoy attractions like Bahnzai Pipeline, Cliffhanger, and Dragon Blaster. Check out some of the fantastic local restaurants like Cajun Greek, Mario's Ristorante, and Seahorse Grill anytime you need a break from the kitchen. Galveston Charter Guides is four miles away and ready to take you out to reel in your daily limit of red drum fish!
