About this house rental
Welcome to the Salty Seahorse, your charming Galveston beach retreat! Just 2 blocks from the beach, this cozy yet spacious two-story home blends historic island charm with modern comforts for the perfect coastal getaway. Originally an older Galveston home that has been thoughtfully rehabbed, it still carries the warmth, character, and personality that make island cottages so special — this is not a brand-new modern build, but a true beach home with charm and soul.
Perfect for families, couples, and small groups, the home comfortably sleeps up to 8 guests and features a private fenced backyard oasis complete with a hot tub, propane BBQ grill, pergola seating area, and propane firepit for relaxing evenings under the stars. We also happily welcome up to 2 pets at absolutely no extra charge!
Step inside and enjoy the cozy living room featuring comfortable seating and a TV perfect for movie nights after a day at the beach. The fully equipped kitchen offers everything needed for cooking meals during your stay, while the home's inviting layout provides plenty of room for gathering together or relaxing separately.
This charming beach cottage features two bedrooms and two full bathrooms spread across two levels of the home. The upstairs bathroom showcases a beautiful freestanding clawfoot-style tub/shower combo that perfectly complements the home's historic charm, while the downstairs bathroom also includes a convenient tub/shower combo.
