About this house rental
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.

you won't regret renting this house. the owners have created a relaxing atmosphere and have thought of the little things that make a house a home. The house and yard are beautiful and Wilbur appreciated the doggie treats.

We have been to Galveston many times and this has become our favorite spot. The property was exactly as presented in the VRBO listing. It was easy to find and located convenient to both downtown and the beach. The house and yard were super clean and well maintained. Everything was well stocked, in its place, and the location of frequently used items are labeled for easy access. The shower even had shampoo, conditioner and body wash dispensers just like high end hotels. The house was decorated tastefully, is comfortable and made you at ease. Unlike a hotel, there is plenty of room to move around and not feel cramped. Even though the AC works great, ceiling fans in each of the bedrooms and living room help keep it cool when it's hot and humid outside. The snacks in the kitchen are an "over-the-top" welcome for the guests, they truly make you feel at home. Highly recommended and would definitely stay here again, Chris and Kelly are great hosts.

The house was great! Worked well for 2 adults, 2 young kids and 2 dogs. The only small thing was the drain in the tub did not stay open very well so was difficult to rinse sand off the kids after the beach.

Great property. Clean, well cared for, and had everything we could’ve needed. Appreciated the on site laundry, outdoor shower, and beach toys in the back. Great location as well. We were even faced with a tropical storm during our stay, and the owner called us personally to walk us through how to navigate it, which was very helpful and kind!
