Great location!

A short walk to the beach, Murdoch’s, Pleasure Pier and great restaurants! Nice deck in the back for breakfast together and porch in the front if all you want to do is sit and watch the world go by. Will definitely be coming back here!

Excellent stay!

My husband and I came here for a weekend trip and had a great time. The house was very clean and tidy, and was a quick walk away from the beach. I appreciated the little “tips” posted around the house for where extra blankets, beach toys, chargers, etc. were located so I didn’t have to dig for them. We will definitely be back!

Hidden Gem

We had such a WONDERFUL time at this Galveston vacation home. The location can't be beat--just steps from the seawall and close to lots of great attractions, such as Pleasure Pier, restaurants, and the Strand. The home itself is spaciously quaint and super cozy/comfortable--well maintained old fashioned house, with everything you need for a calming getaway. Loved that there are books available for a relaxing read, board games to play around the table with friends/family, and outdoor furniture available for front porch people/sunset watching or privacy on the back porch. The themed rooms are an added touch and oh--so cute! Plus, everything you could possibly need in the kitchen. We would DEFINITELY recommend staying here and we WILL be back!
