Fantastic Location!

This was a very clean and comfortable accommodations for a girls weekend out. The location was FANTASTIC! You can walk out the front door and be on the Strand in less than a block or jump on the trolly and explore the island for $1.00. The owners are wonderful people that greet you at the door to make sure you have everything you need. We will definitely be coming back!

Mardi Gras - Galveston trip

Historically Charming

Absolutely beautiful place and location is walking distance to Strand and several eating places. So shop, eat and get dessert just blocks away. Highly recommend but you will get your exercise in, going up & down the stairs, but so worth it. Owners are so nice too, so that is big +!!

Great short getaway

The property was so nice and in a great location. After unloading our car and parking it in the space provided, we walked everywhere. Water and some snacks were provided. The stairs to the loft could be challenging and sounds from outside could get loud. Overall we loved our time there and would love to stay there again.

FABULOUS STAY!

From check in to check out, everything was fabulous! The attention to detail was everything! From cable tv, soft toilet paper, superb linens and comfortable beds and sofas, this was just the beginning of our wonderful experience. The host went out of her way to provide snacks and drinks, full coffee bar and discounts to restaurants! If you do not know the Galveston area, this is THE BEST LOCATION you can get! It’s in the heart of the festivals, restaurants, shopping and you can hear and see the cruise ships come and go! I can not wait to stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by Joanna Yates

Host profile image
My husband Brian is a real estate developer and broker and I am a writer and now "the hostess with the mostest" . We both love to entertain and have hosted and chaired many parties and events over the years. Whiteside Town Flats gives us the opportunity to host and meet amazing folks from all walks of life. It is a privilege for us to share our building.

Why they chose this property

We have always loved this building as it has been in our family for over 20 years. We bought it from Brian's parents in 2009 and have not looked back.

What makes this property unique

Whiteside Town Flats is an incredible building. Everyone who enters tells us that they feel something truly special that is very hard to explain. There is a quiet about the building that is comforting even though we are literally in the middle of all the action in downtown Galveston.
