About this property

Home on the Isle - Central Location to Beach & Strand

  • Our home is a beautifully cozy 1940s Craftsman located just minutes from all the best that Galveston has to offer. A few blocks drive to both the Strand and Seawall, this home boasts multiple modern upgrades while maintaining much of its historic charm, such as portions of the original cabinetry, hardwood floors, and interior doors with glass door knobs.

    When you aren't out enjoying all the sights on the island, kick back and relax in the cozy living room and watch your favorite show on the 58 inch cable TV. The updated eat-in kitchen is beyond bright and spacious and stocked with all the amenities of home, including a dishwasher and garbage disposal. The adjacent formal dining room seats an additional six, perfect for hosting family gatherings! The built-in hallway cabinet contains games and puzzles for family entertainment.

    Bedroom 1 features a queen-sized bed with a set of twin bunks, complete with a nightstand, chest of drawers and a 32 inch Smart TV. Please note top bunk weight limit is 150 pounds. Bedroom 2 features a king-sized bed, nightstand, chest of drawers, 36 inch Smart TV and full-sized dresser and mirror (not pictured). Both bedrooms are equipped with a closet. An additional twin bed is located in the sunroom off of the kitchen.

    The bathroom yields tons of storage space and is where you will find both bath linens and beach towels, a hair dryer, extra toilet paper, and a first aid kit. Multiple drawers are available for storing your personal items out-of-sight.

    The large, private fenced backyard is perfect for those who enjoy outdoor entertaining and/or travelling with their dogs. Tons of room for both kids and pets to run and play. After a day at the beach, relax and enjoy a cold beverage on the huge covered back porch under the patio lights, all while watching the game on the outdoor TV! Dine at the outdoor table when the weather is pleasant. Laundry facilities and supplies are accessible to guests and located in the garage, as are beach items such as boogie boards and extra chairs, outdoor table umbrella, etc. This area is also perfect for storing empty coolers or hanging up sandy beach towels.

Absolutely the Best Vacation Rental we have ever had. This was our 35th wedding anniversary. We have been coming to the island two or three times a year for 35 years. We feel like Locals. Our hosts and this house are the BEST! We brought our fur babies and they Loved the yard and chased the Lizards. Lol! This home has everything and is the most comfortable, clean and relaxing house we have ever stayed in. Communication with our hosts was excellent! Already planning our next trip back to this GEM on the Island!

The house was really cute and had everything we needed. We had my mother and father in law, my husband and our two daughters and we all stayed comfortable with our own spaces. The laundry in the back was cute too. We spent time on the back porch and made friends with the new neighbors accords the street. We will definitely be back.

We loved this house! We felt so comfortable. It was close to everything. The labels made finding things a breeze, an assortment of snacks was a nice touch, all the hooks in the bathroom were handy, and there was even a fly swatter on the back porch (which we didn't need). Check in was easy and we had no reason to contact the hosts during our stay. We WILL be back!

This was our second stay in this house. Location is perfect for us, central to everything. House is well laid out, very comfortable, and has everything you need for an enjoyable stay. Hosts are very proactive and responsive. If available we would stay there again without question.

We couldn't have asked for a more amazing property. The house was beautifully decorated & completely stocked with anything you could need. The house is conveniently located to the beach, downtown historic district, and everything else on the island. The entire house is a quiet enjoyable retreat from the hustle of the island. The porch & yard is well kept and we enjoyed watching the lizards scurrying about. Looking forward to future visits to the island and staying at this property.

Fantastic place to stay in Galveston!

My husband and I, along with our little dog, came to Galveston for a long weekend getaway and booked this cute little place. The house was so cozy, and extremely clean. The kitchen was well stocked, we had plenty of towels, the beds and furniture were comfy, and the backyard was perfect for our dog. We really felt at home here. I highly recommend staying at this fantastic little house if you're traveling with family and pets. We'll definitely be back! We had a great stay.
