Low Tides by Ryson Vacation Rentals

Close to a water park, sailing, and more, this smoke-free condo brings it all within reach. Jump into your car and make short work of the 3-minute drive to Moody Gardens or the 3-minute drive to Galveston Seawall (and enjoy the property's convenient onsite parking in the meantime).

After you return, you can unwind at the beach (enjoy the direct beach access!), chill by the outdoor pool, or sip a drink by the lazy river; you may also like the garden. For a change of scenery, come inside and try your hand at billiards, or enjoy the free WiFi, TV, and DVD player.

A living room, a dining area, and air conditioning are featured at this vacation rental. Prepare a home-cooked meal in the kitchen, complete with an oven, a stovetop, and a dishwasher, as well as an ice maker, a microwave, and cookware. And you won't have to pack extra clothes, because you'll also have a dryer.
